Chapter 7
Xie Zhi raised his head, a hint of self-mockery flashing through his dark, bright eyes.
What happened?
Heh, no one could help him anymore.
Fang Xianxing’s inner frustration fell silent upon seeing his self-abandoning appearance, and she voluntarily repeated the concern that had slipped out earlier.
“Encountered problems again? Tell me, maybe I can still be of help.” Xie Zhi shook his head, poured another glass from the half-empty bottle, and raised his hand to bring it to his mouth.
This is liquor, white liquor, not water!
Fang Xianxing frowned and reached out to grab the glass from his hand.
Xie Zhi nimbly tilted to the side, avoiding Fang Xianxing’s hand. After taking a sip, he looked up at Fang Xianxing.
The emotion in his eyes was unwillingness.
Unwilling for Fang Xianxing to interfere.
Him wanting to drink was his own business, Fang Xianxing had no say.
Although Fang Xianxing had helped him before and counted as a good person in his book, they weren’t that close. When Fang Xianxing helped him back then, he had also racked his brains and put in a lot of effort.
Later, he even took on all the troublesome matters after the failed marriage, enduring the blame from his parents for a long time, and also enduring the scrutiny from Fang Xianxing’s parents.
His intention to marry had ulterior motives, but was Fang Xianxing’s intention to marry purely good?
If he had revealed Fang Xianxing’s motives for the fake marriage to both sets of parents, they would surely scold Fang Xianxing even more harshly.
So, he didn’t feel that he owed Fang Xianxing anything.
“Drinking so much white liquor on an empty stomach, do you not want to live?”
Xie Zhi looked like he was fine, but his lip color had actually turned a bit pale, which made Fang Xianxing blurt out in exasperation.
“No more drinking!”
Xie Zhi didn’t say a word, more than half his face hidden in the backlit shadows, his throat moving as he quietly drank his liquor.
So difficult to deal with!
Fang Xianxing’s aura turned domineering as she stood up and walked towards Xie Zhi. She grabbed his left hand, ensuring Xie Zhi couldn’t move, and then reached out to snatch the glass from his right hand.
The way she did it, she almost had the sitting Xie Zhi locked in her embrace.
Suddenly being intimately restrained by a woman like this, Xie Zhi’s face greatly changed and he started struggling. In their tussle, a lot of liquor splashed from the glass that Fang Xianxing had grabbed.
“Let go of me!”
“No! Unless you let go of the glass!”
Fang Xianxing persisted, although she couldn’t clearly say why she wanted to control Xie Zhi’s business. But since she had already said no more drinking, Xie Zhi had to listen.
His entire body seemed to sink into warm, soft cotton, which made Xie Zhi soberly realize that he was being held by a woman. Embarrassment, anger, and the drunkenness that was slowly getting to his head made his whole being irritable beyond endurance. Using all his strength, he stood up and flung off Fang Xianxing’s right hand.
Xie Zhi’s strength was not small. He had his heart set on working in underwater archaeology, so even after graduating and staying in the office, he never neglected his physical training.
Fang Xianxing hadn’t anticipated this. Her right hand was successfully flung off by him, and just as it was about to slam into a chair back from the momentum, a pair of soft, delicate hands suddenly reached out, shielding Fang Xianxing’s hand and holding it to his chest.
Fang Xianxing and Xie Zhi were both stunned.
“Director Fang, are you alright?” The pretty boy who had toasted Fang Xianxing in the private room earlier but had his thunder stolen by someone else frowned delicately, carefully holding Fang Xianxing’s hand to his chest. He took two steps closer to them and looked at Xie Zhi with dissatisfaction. “How could you lay hands on Director Fang?”
Xie Zhi’s gaze swept over Fang Xianxing’s hand held to the boy’s chest and coldly looked away.
What did it have to do with him?
Anyone could see that he was resisting just now.
When a man is forcibly restrained by a woman, how can he not resist?
Xie Zhi felt unconvinced in his heart, but his habit of ignoring people made him say nothing. He turned his head and coldly looked at Fang Xianxing.
Fang Xianxing tugged her hand, but that pretty boy held it tightly. She frowned and lowered her head, coincidentally colliding with Xie Zhi’s increasingly cold eyes.
This situation made one irritable.
Fang Xianxing shifted her gaze, her brows and eyes completely sinking, and spoke a stiff command to the pretty boy: “Let go!”
The pretty boy looked at Fang Xianxing, then at Xie Zhi, and let go reluctantly, his mouth still not forgetting to speak: “Director Fang, if I hadn’t passed by and seen it just now, your hand would have been injured. He really lacks restraint!”
Fang Xianxing retracted her hand and also let go of the hand holding down Xie Zhi, taking a step back to distance herself from them. “Understood, thank you. What’s your name? I’ll have someone contact your agent later.”

Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Synopsis:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
He even had his eyes on another woman.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
Su Mu expressed her disdain.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
She also wanted to embrace Xie Yi, who had silently stayed by her side in her previous life and committed suicide by taking poison after her death.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
—–
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
