BXBX NOVEL Chapter 98: Your Apology Gift_i
Hai Zhiyuan questioned curiously, “Does Ayu really want to get a divorce?”
“Yes! We both want it.”
“If he wants it, why did he come to see you as soon as he got back? I don’t think he is so eager.”
“He probably came to get my signature, we had already agreed that he would sign as soon as he got back.” Hai Xiaotang confidently asserted.
The old man lapsed into a moment of reflective silence, “Let’s wait until he wakes up.”
“I’ll wake him now!”
“Ayu hasn’t rested much these past few days, let him sleep a bit more,” the old man admonished.
“Oh.”
She’ll just let him rest enough then, she was quite generous about it.
“Go prepare dinner, Ayu will be eating here tonight, have the kitchen prepare some delicious dishes,” the old man instructed her again.
Hai Xiaotang didn’t refuse, she went to the kitchen to help.
She couldn’t cook, but she knew exactly what Dongfang Yu liked to eat.
Probably their last dinner together, Hai Xiaotang happily ordered lots of Dongfang Yu’s favorite dishes.
As expected, Dongfang Yu slept until late.
He even used Hai Xiaotang’s bathroom to shower.
Seeing as they were getting divorced tonight, Hai Xiaotang decided not to argue about these small things.
The dinner was quite lavish.
Hai Zhiyuan greeted Dongfang Yu with a smile, “Ayu, I’m not sure if this food suits your tastes, I don’t know what you like to eat, all this was prepared under Xiaotang’s instructions.”
Dongfang Yu scanned the dishes and chuckled, “I love most of these.”
“Really? Ha ha, Xiaotang knows your tastes well. Eat more, all of this is her goodwill.”
Hai Xiaotang: “…”
That was not her goodwill!
Dongfang Yu gave a meaningful look at Hai Xiaotang from across the table, and then took a bite.
“The taste is excellent, very delicious,” he praised.
Hai Zhiyuan was even happier, “If it’s good, eat more. Come, have a drink with your grandfather first.”
” Sure.” Dongfang Yu picked up his wine glass and started drinking with the old man.
It seems that among men, as long as there’s alcohol, the atmosphere stays lively.
The two chatted while eating, covering many topics, but no word on the divorce.
Hai Xiaotang was anxiously listening.
However, seeing her grandfather in high spirits, she didn’t have the heart to interrupt.
Oh well, they could discuss it after dinner. Talking about a divorce at the dinner table indeed seemed a bit off-putting.
Dinner was finally done, and the old man suggested they go to the living room for tea.
Hai Xiaotang thought to herself, now it should be time to address the divorce.
Indeed, as soon as they settled down in the living room, the old man broached the topic, “Ayu, I am technically overstepping my bounds by asking this, but as your elder, I would not be at peace without asking. Did something happen between you and Xiaotang on your trip to New York?”
After a moment’s silence, Dongfang Yu admitted, “Yes, something did happen, and it was my fault.”
“What happened?” the old man pursued.
Instead of responding, Dongfang Yu reached into his suit pocket and pulled out a jewelry box.
He handed the box to Hai Xiaotang, “This is for you.”
Hai Xiaotang was baffled, “What is it?”
“Open it and see.”
Unaware of what was inside and unsure of his intentions, Hai Xiaotang accepted the box, opened it with a puzzled look.
Inside was an undeniably large diamond ring!
The diamond ring looked incredibly valuable at first glance.
Startled, Hai Xiaotang asked, “Why are you giving me this?”
Dongfang Yu smiled and said, “I promised to take you to the bidding event but failed to do so. This is my apology for breaking my word, and a reward for your hard work this time.”
After a pause, he added, “I hope you’re not angry anymore and can forgive my mistake this time.”
