"In fact, leaving you is a relief to me. You change a woman from time to time and I have to sort it out for
you. It's too tiring. Let Leila do it. " Then she let out a sigh of relief.
"Speaking of this, I really miss you. You are not jealous of me, but you can help me solve my worries.
Leila is just like a jealousy jar. I can't even have a good time with a woman. If I knew she was so
annoying, I would not marry her. " He looked agitated.
"Why would she be jealous if she doesn't love and care about you? I don't love you and I don't care
about you, so I was not jealous." "People thought that we loved each other. But it was just an illusion.
We got what we wanted when we were together. We didn't love each other at all," she continued in a
mocking tone.
"But we were good at acting. They thought we were a perfect couple." Said Zac, who wore a forced
smile on his face.
"Yes, that's true. I left for the United States because the matter of Valery was settled. Since the matter
had been settled, there is no need to make use of each other anymore. I thought that I would never
come back again. I didn't expect that something would happen to the Xu family. " She took a sip of the
red wine.
"So you need me again." A deep smile flitted across Zac's handsome face.
"Don't you need me? Our Xu's Group is the largest partner of the Rong's Group. It's the best for you
that I'm in charge of the Xu's Group. If it was another person who is in charge of the company, it's hard
to say whether the partnership with Xu's Group will be broken up one day. " Essie slowly said.
"For me, family interests have always been the most important thing. No one can be compared with
anything." Zac held up the wine glass in front of him. "Today I apologized to you for the bad behavior of
my wife. I will definitely teach her well in the future. You are so kind and please don't take it too
seriously. It has a bad influence on our cooperation." After that, he drained the cup with one gulp.
Essie smirked, giving out a malicious smile. "If I was killed by her, the Xu family would fall into the
hands of Elizabeth. This is extremely disadvantageous to the Rong family. By that time, she will be the
biggest sinner in the Rong family. I'm afraid that even you, the future governor, will be implicated. It was
in violation of the first regulation of the seven prominent figures of the Rong family, which meant that
Leila would be forced to divorce you and be expelled from the Rong family. You won't intercede for her
unless you give up the position of the chief, will you? "
Zac sneered. "Do you need me to answer this question? I won't allow such a woman to destroy my
family! "
"So she should be grateful that I'm still alive, or she would be the second unlucky person. Besides, her
cousin is chasing after me. If I was killed by her. He must hate her to death. As the future head of the
Qin family, he must hate her and try to get her out of this family. What a miserable ending it will be if
she is kicked out by Rong family and can't return to Qin family. " Essie said and sighed heavily, as if
she was sympathizing with some woman who might have suffered a lot.
Behind the screen, Leila was taken aback and shivered.
There was no love between them. They just took what they needed. Was it a political marriage?
She didn't believe a single word from Zac when he said to her the other day that he had saved Essie
for the sake of the Rong family. Today, she had heard it in person and she had no choice but to believe
it.
It was indeed a good thing to have lost her rival in love. She should have celebrated it.
So she poured herself a glass of wine and took a sip happily.
Outside the screen, the waiters served the dishes one by one.
"It's a Michelin starred restaurant. The food here is delicious. You know, it's delicious."
Zac was eating gentlemen, in stark contrast to her preying. He looked at her in the opposite and
frowned. "You know what, I'm very relaxed after divorcing you, because I don't have to bear your rough
behaviors anymore. Look at you, you can't eat well or sit well, nor sleep well. I have put up with you for
a long time. "
"You are no better than me. You are a womanizer. Every day you come back, you are wearing a
different perfume. I feel sick when I smell you. What makes me most disgusted is that you are a
hypocrite. " Essie said and spat.
"Very good. In addition to business, we should not meet each other, otherwise, we will be annoyed by
each other." Zac said rather rudely.
"It's a deal. Don't meet each other even if you want to talk about cooperation. Don't show up in person
if the secretary can replace you. It will pollute the eyes of both of us!"
Behind the screen, Leila went mad with joy. If she was not afraid of being get caught, she must have
stood up and laughed loudly!
However, it was too early for her to be happy, and she would not be as happy as she was in the
following.
On the dining table, the aura of silence maintained for a long time. When they were almost full, Essie
finally spoke.
"Icy guy, do you really fall in love with Landis?"
"How could you know?" Zac didn't deny it at all.
"We have shared the same bed for so long. How could I not know you?" She paused and took a sip of
the soup. "If it is just a show, you should dump her when she had an abortion. But now, you not only
haven't kicked her away, but also cherish her even more. Do you really love her? You never pay much
attention to women. You never know what they like or what they don't. However, you remembered
everything about Landis, including her favorite color. She must be the first woman you love, right? "
"You are truly my wife. You see through me." Zac wore a low smile, seeming to acquiesce in it.
"You and I were a couple. You don't know which color I like and which color I hate the most, do you?"
"Tell me, which color do you like most and which color you hate most?"
"I like pink and I hate purple most. But you just gave me a purple diamond ring. I'm so annoyed to wear
it." Essie frowned and said angrily.
"That's the family heirloom of Rong family. How could I have given it to you if I hadn't tried to win you
over to help me deal with Valery? You are not even qualified to see it. " Zac snorted.
"Humph, I don't like it. I'll buy a sixty carat big diamond to put on my neck from Millennium Company.
Let's see whether it's mine necklace or the Purple Love of your family is the most shining diamond."
Essie was angry at him and wrinkled her nose.
"There are many pink diamonds. You can't be so lucky to have a purple diamond of this size." Zac's
mocking laughter reverberated on the table.
"Don't be so complacent. If we can find a gold mine in South Africa or Australia some day, you'll be
pissed off!" With arms akimbo, Essie glared at Zac and didn't show any weakness.
"Do you know what I hate you most?" Zac shook his glass in front of him.
"What?" Essie said in a low voice.
"You are too stubborn to admit defeat. You have already lost, but you still refuse to admit it." Said Zac
with a mocking smile in his eyes.
Essie glared at him again and pounded the table. "Zac, what's wrong with you? Don't forget that you
are here today to apologize."
Hearing that, Zac pursed his thin lips slightly and said, "all right. I'll let you go today. As long as you
maintain the friendship between the Xu family and the Rong family, I'll help you if necessary."
Hearing that, Essie curled her lips and said, "I won't thank you. Helping me is also helping your Rong's
Group."
When they were quarreling, Leila should be happy, but at this moment, all her joy disappeared.
Though Zac didn't love Essie, he didn't love her any more. He was totally obsessed with that bitch!
Leila couldn't believe it, and she couldn't accept it. He obviously loved her, and only had her in his
heart. They had been together for more than ten years. Was it still not as good as the love between
that actress and him for a few days?
It must be the bitch's smart tricks which bewitched Zac.
He just wanted to have fun for a while, and he would get tired of her in a short time. The one he really
loved was her, only her!
She kept comforting herself by telling herself that she had been doing this for more than ten years.
Almost every cell in her mind believed that Zac loved her, but it was because of the relationship
between their families that he had to suppress his feelings for her. However, the feelings for her had
been suppressed for a long time and were sealed up. As long as she worked hard, he would be able to
restart it and fall in love with her again, unable to leave her.
While she was thinking, Essie asked the waiter to make the food and then walked out of the restaurant
with Zac.
She immediately screwed up her handbag, threw the money and followed them out in case they would
recall their love.
Feelings and needs can be separated. Although they don't have feelings, they can still do that.
On their way back, Essie let out a sigh of relief. Her performance was over.
"I hope your wife can rest assured after watching the play. Don't take me as a scapegoat again."
Taking a slight glance at her, Zac frowned and said, "can you call her in a pleasant way?" The word
"wife" sounded awkward and harsh. He had never taken that woman as his wife. Only Essie was his
wife.
Essie curled her lips. 'You've got the marriage certificate. If you get married, of course she is your wife.'
Essie thought. Now that she was able to face the reality and didn't care about it any more, what did he
mean by being so stingy?
"Then call her Madam or Lady?" She asked deliberately.
"Doesn't it mean the same thing? From now on, call her by her name directly. Don't add any title. " He
reached out and flicked her forehead. This woman always liked to irritate him.
"Ouch!" cried Essie in pain. Was it necessary to hit her so hard? 'Are you trying to murder your ex-
wife?'
"Do you have some magical factors? Why are women so crazy as long as they are close to you? Why
do they always stick to you?"
"They are insane." Said Zac with a snort.
