Lin Zhiguo sighed: "It should be that Chen Xuan helped the company resolve a crisis, which provoked the Zhou Family's dissatisfaction, and that's why they are retaliating against him so recklessly."

Zhang Ru scoffed, "But we can't say it's entirely related to us. Anyway, tonight Chen Xuan has thoroughly offended the Zhou Family, and we shouldn't suffer unnecessary disasters with him."

"Wanxi has already agreed to divorce, Chen Xuan don't think you can stay in our house without leaving! Tomorrow morning, go and complete the divorce procedures immediately."

Chen Xuan ignored Zhang Ru and instead looked calmly at Lin Wanxi, "Are you sure you want to go through with the divorce procedures with me?"

Lin Wanxi's originally resolute gaze showed a trace of confusion, "Chen Xuan, I'm doing this for your own good."

"After our divorce, you can leave Zhonghai City with money, and the Zhou Family won't be able to affect you."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "What about you? Aren't you afraid of the Zhou Family's revenge?"

Lin Wanxi let out a long breath, "That's my own issue, you don't need to worry about it."

Chen Xuan shook his head, "I can't divorce you now, nor can I just leave."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanxi couldn't help but frown slightly, "Are you still after the Jade Pendant?"

"Chen Xuan, I don't understand why you are so fixated on that Jade Pendant. I am very grateful for your help these past few days, but I really like the pendant. I can't give it to you."

"I'll give you an extra million, just take the money and leave Zhonghai City."

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Lin Wanxi, you've misunderstood again this time."

"I chose to stay not because of the Jade Pendant, but because I want to protect you from getting bullied."

Hmm?

Lin Wanxi stood there momentarily stunned, unable to react, "You... you're doing this for me?"

Chen Xuan spread his hands and laughed lightly, "Though you are a bit mischievous and somewhat willful, with quite a nasty temper..."

Lin Wanxi's eyes immediately turned cold.

"But, I think you're a good girl who shouldn't be bullied by bad people." Chen Xuan shifted his tone to provide a definite answer.

Lin Wanxi grinned broadly, "Are you complimenting me or insulting me?"

"I'm just expressing my intuitive feelings." Chen Xuan smiled and spread his hands.

Lin Wanxi didn't dwell on it, after some inner struggle, she asked: "Aren't you afraid... of risking your own life?"

Chen Xuan looked disdainful, "At least the Zhou Family can't manage that!"

"You really have a big mouth, I hope you're not just showing off." Lin Wanxi rolled her eyes.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ru looked at them full of doubt, "Are you planning not to divorce? Wanxi, you should be aware of the serious consequences!"

Lin Wanxi's face remained expressionless, "Mom, I've made it very clear from the start, why can't you understand!"

"It's not that Chen Xuan's troubles dragged our family down, it's because of me dragging him into trouble! He's suffered unreasonably because of me, understand?"

"You've dragged him down? How could that be possible!" Zhang Ru frowned in disbelief.

Lin Wanxi sighed helplessly, "I have been hiding something from you all; last time I was kidnapped by Zhou Ping'an."

"Luckily Chen Xuan rescued me, or I wouldn't have survived..."

She roughly explained the process.

Both Lin Zhiguo and Zhang Ru were shocked, unexpectedly such an incident had happened.

"No wonder, I haven't seen Zhou Ping'an these days, it turns out he has already..."

Lin Zhiguo was panic-stricken and fearful, "Could it be that the Zhou Family found out about this incident and that's why they let Steward Zhou come over tonight to retaliate against Chen Xuan?"

Chen Xuan always wore a calm and smiling expression, "Father-in-law, there's no need to panic and fear."

"If the Zhou Family insists on causing trouble, I will make the Zhou Family completely disappear."

Lin Zhiguo gave a dry laugh, secretly musing, what an arrogant tone!

It's a good opportunity to test if Chen Xuan truly has that capability.

Zhang Ru scorned secretly, thinking Chen Xuan was boasting shamelessly.

Lin Wanxi didn't have much thought in her mind, just worried about what the Zhou Family would do next to retaliate and attack her and Chen Xuan.

"It's getting late, let's get ready for bed." Chen Xuan smiled to break the deadlock.

They both walked upstairs together.

Lin Wanxi looked at him with a surprised expression, "Chen Xuan, what you said just now really moved me."

"You're willing to stay and face the Zhou Family for me, could it be that you've fallen for me?"

Chen Xuan chuckled, "If I said I liked you, would you give me a chance tonight?"
