After Being Forced To Marry A Wealthy Man, Mr. Qi Wants To Divorce Every Day - Chapter 76

Chapter 76: There Will Always Be Echoes

After so many years, Shen Kuozhi finally felt that he could experience the beauty of freedom like a normal person.

As a friend, Qi Yunhan genuinely felt happy for Shen Kuozhi.

In his heart, Shen Kuozhi deserved the vast sky, rather than being confined to this small corner of the world.

“Alright, since there’s nothing urgent, I’ll go back and rest. This period of time has worn me out.”

“You’ve worked hard. Rest well.”

“I’m off then.”

Qi Yunhan waved to Shen Kuozhi and walked away, the hem of his white coat fluttering slightly, showing a dash of elegance.

On the other side, Qi Yue had already arrived at the company’s office. Only after talking with Shen Kuozhi did he truly feel the joy.

Now that he was free from the shadow of the Qi family, and his relationship with Shen Kuozhi was only a matter of time, soon he would become a truly independent person. He was nobody’s follower.

After his divorce from Shen Kuozhi, the pace of Yue Ting’s development might slow down. After all, Qi Yue himself was well aware that a large part of Yue Ting’s rapid development was due to Shen Kuozhi.

Because he was Shen Kuozhi’s partner, everyone was willing to give the Shen family face in business cooperation and take care of Yue Ting.

However, Qi Yue was not a fool. Yue Ting was his painstaking effort and his confidence.

Qi Yue maximized the use of the resources at hand, which was why he was able to establish Yue Ting’s foothold in the app development industry in less than a year.

Their initial product, Table, has surpassed one hundred million downloads since its launch on the internet. This achievement was a good start for Qi Yue.

In their line of work, constant innovation and the introduction of innovative talents were essential. That’s why the research and development department of Yue Ting had always been the area where Qi Yue focused most closely.

In the past few days, Qi Yue has been busy with the development of the new app launched by Yue Ting.

The current trend in the era is holographic VR, and the new app developed by Yue Ting is heading in this direction.

However, VR technology is still immature, so the app released by Yue Ting currently is semi-VR, requiring the assistance of external VR devices.

But the concept they had for this app was to have a wide range of prices to cover as many income households as possible, with naturally varying features corresponding to the price.

This concept couldn’t be realized in the short term, but they were still making progress step by step.

The newly developed app was a preliminary prototype, already incorporating VR technology into the existing technology and had passed internal testing, so the release was not far off.

Qi Yue was confident that as long as they persisted in the right direction, they would succeed.

This was his confidence.

It was also why he dared to take the initiative to propose divorce to Shen Kuozhi.

To Qi Yue, Shen Kuozhi was a friend, and could even become a close friend.

To be fair, he felt very comfortable with Shen Kuozhi, which he couldn’t deny.

But if there was a layer of marriage between them, then it would be a different story.

With that layer of relationship, he and Shen Kuozhi would never become close friends who could talk about anything.

This was Qi Yue’s stance.

It was also the commercialization and impurity of their relationship.

Shortly after Qi Yunhan left, Shen Kuozhi called Assistant Zhang over.

Although he couldn’t leave the hospital yet, he had a lot of things to deal with now. Some things needed to be handled early so that he could pursue his lover with peace of mind.

“Mr. Shen, Qu Chen Group has started to take action recently.”

“Well, let me see the documents.”

Shen Kuozhi glanced through the documents handed over by his assistant. He smiled at the information collected on them, but it didn’t reach his eyes.

After coldly reading through all the information, Shen Kuozhi closed the file and instructed Assistant Zhang expressionlessly:

“Keep monitoring. Make sure not to miss anything.”

“Got it.”

“The company documents are here. I’ll approve them now.”

Although Shen Kuozhi knew that his second uncle’s family would make a move, he didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

In his previous life, he had been unprepared and inadvertently fell into the hands of this family. In this life, he had to turn the tables.

Memories from his previous life flashed through Shen Kuozhi’s mind, lingering until Qi Yue’s disappointed and desperate expression.

A drop of sweat slid down his forehead. Shen Kuozhi closed his eyes, eased the rising sadness, and when he opened his eyes again, they were full of fierceness.

Since someone didn’t know what was good for them and wanted to encroach on what they shouldn’t touch, then they couldn’t blame Shen Kuozhi for not showing mercy and making them pay a painful price.

Qu Chen Group was a commercial group under the name of Mr. Li Huaying. It was also a well-known commercial group in Beijing.

But in recent years, there has been a downward trend, after all, the development direction of Qu Chen happened to collide with the Shen family’s Mingshi Group.

Mingshi Group’s background was not something Qu Chen Group could easily compare to.

In his previous life, when Shen Kuozhi took over as the head of Huaxia Corporation alone, although he noticed some minor movements from Qu Chen Group, he was young and arrogant and didn’t take them seriously.

This was also why he fell into the hands of Li Huaying and the second branch of the Shen family.

He didn’t expect them to collude at this time, being able to persevere for two years. The second branch of the family was indeed patient.

Shen Kuozhi took off his glasses and rubbed his nose bridge.

Nowadays, the Shen Kuozhi he harbored inside was not the defenseless “naive” Shen Kuozhi of the past, nor was he the weak and sickly Shen Kuozhi.

Two years could allow the second branch to secretly grow and expand its ambitions.

Now, Shen Kuozhi would accompany them in this game and give them some assistance.

The next day, Qi Yue bought a bouquet of flowers early in the morning to visit Shen Kuozhi.

When he went to see Shen Kuozhi yesterday, he noticed flowers by Shen Kuozhi’s bedside, but they weren’t so fresh anymore, so when he left early in the morning, he inexplicably stopped by the flower shop to buy another bouquet.

As he held the flowers and knocked on Shen Kuozhi’s door again, he felt a strange sense of shyness in his heart.

In Qi Yue’s life, he could count on one hand the number of times he had given flowers to someone else.

He himself didn’t know why he had naturally gone into the flower shop at that time and bought this bouquet.

Before Qi Yue could open the door, it was already opened from the inside.

Surprisingly, it was Shen Kuozhi who opened the door, and the motion of opening the door seemed to slow down in Qi Yue’s eyes.

Their eyes met as Shen Kuozhi stood opposite him, and yesterday’s lying down Shen Kuozhi didn’t give Qi Yue such a vivid impression.

Now, standing in front of him, Shen Kuozhi gave him a strong shock.

Shen Kuozhi was wearing a beige casual outfit, very youthful, but Qi Yue could still see that Shen Kuozhi had lost weight. Coupled with his height of 1.85 meters, he appeared even taller and thinner.

His originally jet-black and smooth medium-length hair had been cut at some point, making his facial features more pronounced.

In these few seconds, both sides tacitly remained silent, just silently looking at each other.

It was like meeting a long-lost friend suddenly.

“For you.”

Qi Yue first looked away, then handed the flowers forward, passing them to Shen Kuozhi.

“Come in and have a seat.”

Shen Kuozhi took the flowers and, while accepting them, his lips curved up slightly.

His darling really surprised him too much.

Coming early in the morning to deliver flowers, this relationship couldn’t possibly just be a soon-to-be-concluded contract with a business partner.

Shen Kuozhi looked at Qi Yue earnestly and affectionately, but at this moment, Qi Yue, feeling shy, lowered his head and missed Shen Kuozhi’s naked gaze.

As Qi Yue looked at the little tips of Shen Kuozhi’s ears peeking through his hairline, he didn’t know when he had quietly blushed.

Shen Kuozhi saw through it but didn’t expose it, and welcomed Qi Yue in.

He thought he was the only one with unrequited love, but their relationship seemed to be better than he had thought.

Wouldn’t that mean his chances were quite good?

Shen Kuozhi felt secretly delighted. He didn’t expect his darling to always bring him surprises.

After Qi Yue handed the flowers to Shen Kuozhi, under Shen Kuozhi’s lead, he entered the hospital room.

After coming in, he sat down on the sofa next to Shen Kuozhi and adjusted his mood.

“Is your health better?”

Qi Yue didn’t know what to say and accidentally blurted out this somewhat impolite question.

After saying it, he regretted it a bit, but words once spoken couldn’t be taken back.

Fortunately, Shen Kuozhi didn’t seem angry at his presumptuousness.

Qi Yue raised his head, thinking he had observed Shen Kuozhi’s expression without revealing his emotions.

Little did he know that Shen Kuozhi saw through all his subtle expressions.

“Much better. I should be discharged in a few days.”

Shen Kuozhi poured a cup of warm water for Qi Yue while saying so.

This time, Shen Kuozhi was not lying. His illness indeed only required regular care.

However due to the number of times Shen Kuozhi had lied about this before and his current appearance, Qi Yue greatly doubted the truthfulness of Shen Kuozhi’s words.

Could it be that Shen Kuozhi deliberately said this to avoid revealing his true physical condition?

Feeling a sinking feeling in his heart, Qi Yue felt worried about Shen Kuozhi’s health, but he had no position to know these things.

He didn’t know why he cared more about Shen Kuozhi’s health than he thought he did. Perhaps in his heart, he had already regarded Shen Kuozhi as a friend.

He didn’t want to see one of his few friends weak. It would remind him of unpleasant memories from his childhood.

At first, when Shen Kuozhi heard Qi Yue asking about his health, his initial reaction was happiness. His darling cared about him! But then, a feeling of sadness emerged from the depths of his heart.

Was Yue Yue so concerned about his health because he wanted to divorce him sooner?

Seeing Qi Yue suddenly silent, holding the water cup with little enthusiasm, Shen Kuozhi had a sudden realization and calmly said:

“If you’re in a hurry, I can accompany you to handle the divorce procedures today.”

Sure enough, after he said this, Qi Yue’s expression froze for a moment, and a barely perceptible emotion flickered in his eyes.

Shen Kuozhi didn’t miss the slightest change in Qi Yue’s expression. He became even more certain that Yue Yue’s heart must also have him.

It’s just that his darling didn’t understand his own feelings yet.
