Chapter 236:
"There is probably nothing more frustrating in this world than being with you."
As his ex-wife, she was not at all shy about expressing her desire not to be with him.
"There definitely is. Not being with me seems to be more frustrating."
Qin Muni returned her gaze to the book, answering with a calm demeanor, "All I know is that after our divorce, my life has only gotten better."
"That must be a misconception you’ve developed. Without a man’s nurturing, a woman becomes lonelier and craves love more. It’s said she’ll age faster."
Qin Muni turned a page of the book, then nonchalantly said, "You just reminded me, spring is here, it’s time to find a young boy toy to keep."
"That’s not what I meant..."
"Shh, you’re interrupting my reading."
Xu Yisen wisely shut his mouth, staring at Qin Muni who was half-reclined on the sofa with bright eyes, looking frustrated as if he wanted to speak but didn’t dare to.
After a moment, since Qin Muni still didn’t look up at him, he shifted his gaze, focusing on the tablet in his hand.
On Weibo, the relationship between Qin Muni, Xu Yisen, and Yuan Chengmo was being gossiped about intensely by netizens.
Xu Yisen accidentally stumbled upon a long post from a grassroots blogger. After quickly glancing through it, an uncontrollable smile spread across his thin lips.
"Munni, I found an interesting long post. Should I read it to you?"
"Go ahead, I’m listening."
"The title is... Why Does Qin Muni Attract Both Xu Yisen and Yuan Chengmo?
Before delving into this topic, let’s briefly introduce Qin Muni. Female, twenty-seven years old, with a double bachelor’s degree, graduated with excellent grades from G City University.
Her parents are divorced, her father was one of the shareholders of the Fanshu Group. After his death, she inherited all his assets, becoming a billionaire overnight..."
Qin Muni, who was reading, suddenly put down her book, raising her eyebrows with a look of surprise, "Am I that rich?"
Xu Yisen looked up at her, amused by her reaction, and explained, "Your shares in the Fanshu Group, the inheritance from your father, and the two billion compensation I had Secretary Tang transfer to you in the divorce, together, make your net worth far exceed ten billion."
Half-reclined on the sofa, Qin Muni suddenly sat up straight, reached for her phone on the coffee table, and mumbled, "I am indeed that rich, need to quickly contact Zeng Peijing to help me find a young boy toy to keep."
As she seriously searched for Zeng Peijing’s number in her contacts, Xu Yisen, who was sitting on a single sofa chair beside her, quickly threw down his tablet and rushed to snatch the phone from her hand.
"What are you doing with my phone? Give it back to me."
Xu Yisen slightly furrowed his brows, didn’t answer her, quickly found Zeng Peijing in her contacts, and without hesitation, deleted Zeng Peijing’s number before handing the phone back to Qin Muni.
"These days, young boy toys are unreliable. I think you could choose a high-performing stock, like me. Settle down and marry, and you’d live your life worry-free, not only happily but also with a lot of *fun*!"
He emphasized the last two words, letting an ambiguous smile spread through his deep-set eyes.
Qin Muni took back her phone. When she searched for Zeng Peijing’s number in her contacts and couldn’t find it, she realized what he had done.
"Living worry-free sounds great, but being home alone every day makes me age faster than being single ever would."
