The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 631: Chapter 631 Chai Xiyang’s Neglect of Her_1

The opportunity that nobody would give up, she was actually willing to forgo!

What was she thinking?

Just because she didn’t want to work with him, didn’t want to have any contact with him at all?

Thinking about it, Chai Xiyang sneered.

Well, if she wasn’t interested, he wouldn’t bother to care about her anymore.

Yet, he found himself feeling unusually irritable. Lunching with Lin Xinxin, his mind seemed to be elsewhere.

...

“Brother Chai, what are you thinking about?” Lin Xinxin asked curiously.

Chai Xiyang snapped back to reality and smiled lightly, “Nothing. Eat up, I’ll take you back to the office after.”

“You forgot, I’m off this afternoon…”

Only then did Chai Xiyang remember. He promptly responded, “Oh right, I nearly forgot about that. Let’s eat quickly then, I’ll take you home afterwards.”

Lin Xinxin’s eyes flickered, “Do you have something to do in the afternoon?”

“Hmm, I just remembered, some work stuff hasn’t been dealt with.”

“You go ahead and eat, after the meal I can take a cab back myself, you don’t need to send me. Go do your stuff, I don’t want to hold you back.”

“Give me a call when you get home. I’ll take you out for a good meal another day.”

“Okay…” Lin Xinxin smiled, her heart sinking.

She was just being considerate with her words, yet he jumped at the opportunity not to accompany her home.

It used to not be like this; he used to be a gentleman. No matter how polite their relationship was, he would never neglect her.

Yes, Lin Xinxin distinctly felt Chai Xiyang’s indifference towards her…

His attitude towards her seemed to have changed ever since Qiao Ning appeared. Not that he treated her badly now.

It seemed more like his attention was divided and sometimes he didn’t have time for her…

But she was unwilling to admit that it was because of Qiao Ning.

Compared to her, Qiao Ning was nothing. A woman who had served time in jail, with a criminal record, how could she compete with her?

Unless Chai Xiyang was a fool, he should know whom to choose.

Lin Xinxin was still confident that Chai Xiyang would not fall for Qiao Ning.

In her view, any man, when choosing between her and Qiao Ning, would never choose Qiao Ning.

So she wasn’t in a hurry, as time would prove everything.

…

After lunch, Chai Xiyang watched from his car as Lin Xinxin left, before he drove away.

He did have some work to do, but none of it was important.

He wasn’t in the mood to be with Lin Xinxin, as they had nothing to talk about.

In the last few years, they still had some topics to chat about, but gradually he felt it’s getting bland.

Actually, they started dating because of a joke made by Lin Xinxin.

She said, “Brother Chai, do you remember what you said before? If I save you, you would give yourself to me.”

At that time, he replied, “Of course, I remember. But are you sure you want that?”

“If you agree, I have no problem with it,” was Lin Xinxin’s response.

Then they naturally got together, without explicitly stating they were a couple, they were just together.

Chai Xiyang did have some feelings for her and thought maybe love would come with time.

But it didn’t…

Their relationship became increasingly bland and uninteresting, always feeling there was something off.

What’s worse, he would occasionally think of Qiao Ning. When he resented her in the past, he never thought about their past or anything related to her.
