Chapter 4 : The Drama King Ex-Husband

Damn it, this man is such a drama king! Jian Xi cursed in her mind, wanting to push him away and tell him seriously that she had no interest in acting in this play with him. But Jian Shanshan stood there, that woman dressed in designer clothes worth at least hundreds of thousands, with a limited edition handbag worth tens of thousands. All of this was obtained in exchange for her son! The scenes from the past flashed through her mind, and she suppressed the urge to push the man away. Instead, she raised her hands and wrapped them around his neck, putting on a charming smile. "If you want to sleep with me legally, shouldn't you propose first? Tonight seems like a good opportunity, do you want to cherish it?" God knows what she had experienced during her years abroad. Acting in such situations was nothing to her. Her every move was graceful, and her gaze towards the man was filled with ambiguity and affection. Li Boting's eyes deepened. He needed a woman who wouldn't annoy him and had acting skills. They were compatible enough! The man's eyes and tone became frivolous. "Of course not, what I want is more than just legally sleeping with you." Damn it, could this man be a master of seduction? Jian Xi's heart skipped a beat, unsure if she could act well in this play. However, she had to continue with this play. She took a deep breath, steadied her emotions, and put on a willful face. "Then why don't we leave? A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold. Are you sure you want to waste time with her here?" "You're right, there's no need to waste time with her." Li Boting lifted Jian Xi up and took a step towards the private room. "Boting..." Jian Shanshan confirmed from their conversation that the past events hadn't been exposed yet, and that woman might not necessarily be Jian Xi. She stepped forward to block their way, pretending to be on the verge of tears. "Boting, our child is still so young, please consider him. He will be very sad if we divorce." She still wanted to use her child! Jian Xi's eyes turned cold, and she forcefully grabbed Jian Shanshan's wrist without any politeness. "Mrs. Li, since you have no substance, I hope you recognize your identity. Not competing or snatching doesn't mean I don't mind you touching my man." With that, she pulled Jian Shanshan's hand away without any hesitation. Because of her actions, Li Boting narrowed his eyes. Their performance was so perfectly in sync with his thoughts. He carried Jian Xi and left without hesitation, leaving Jian Shanshan behind in the private room. He felt disgusted by this marriage that was established without his approval. Just the thought of Jian Shanshan violating him countless times while he was unconscious made him want to tear that woman apart. The only reason he hadn't divorced her earlier was because he was concerned about their son's young age. But now, he didn't need to worry anymore. "Mr. Li, you can put me down now." The elevator stopped on their floor, and Li Boting put Jian Xi down as she pushed his shoulder. Li Boting placed her on the ground, and the ambiguous atmosphere between them disappeared. The man's demeanor changed from a seductive playboy to someone who kept others at a distance. Jian Xi, feeling her heart pounding, asked, "Mr. Li, where are you taking me?" "To discuss business." The man resumed a professional tone, and Jian Xi instantly calmed down. As long as this drama king didn't act promiscuously, she wasn't afraid of him. The elevator reached the top floor, and Li Boting took her to his private guest room. The interior decoration had a business-like style, with a large bed for resting but more suitable for discussing business matters. Jian Xi completely relaxed. The man led her to the desk, and they sat facing each other across the table. Li Boting opened a drawer, took out a checkbook, and signed a five million check, pushing it towards her. "This is your reward for pretending to be my girlfriend. I need you to cooperate with me and act well in this play until I announce the end of this farce."
