The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 639: Chapter 639: I Just Want to Stay Away From You_1

Qiao Ning felt self-conscious under his deep gaze.

Just as she was about to repeat her words, Chai Xiyang suddenly interrupted her coldly, “What did you say?”

Qiao Ning thought he hadn’t heard clearly, so she repeated in a lower tone, “I asked you, how are we going to cooperate?”

Chai Xiyang frowned, his voice sounding even chillier, “Speak up, I can’t hear you!”

“You…” Qiao Ning was choked with anger. It wasn’t that he couldn’t hear her; he was clearly trying to make her uncomfortable on purpose.

For her part, Qiao Ning had already mustered all her courage to propose cooperation with him.

His deliberate attempts to make things difficult made her feel completely deflated!

“If you didn’t hear me, forget it…” She was about to stand up and leave when Chai Xiyang suddenly stood up too, grabbed her wrist, and forcefully pulled her towards him!

Qiao Ning widened her eyes in surprise, “What are you doing?!”

Chai Xiyang looked at her with dark eyes, “I asked you to repeat what you said louder. What did you say?!”

Qiao Ning concluded that he was intentionally giving her a hard time.

She struggled with anger, “I didn’t say anything, okay? Let me go——”

Chai Xiyang didn’t let go, in fact, he held her even tighter. Staring right into her eyes he ominously iterated, “I’m giving you another chance, tell me loudly, what exactly did you say?!”

“I said nothing, don’t you understand?” Qiao Ning retorted, even angrier.

Chai Xiyang laughed coldly, “Qiao Ning, with this attitude of yours, this readiness to give up at any obstacle. How am I supposed to cooperate with you? The minute things don’t go your way, you withdraw. Who would dare to cooperate with you?”

Qiao Ning stared, she hadn’t expected him to mean that.

But he really didn’t understand her…

Qiao Ning chuckled coldly, “I don’t back off at the first sign of difficulty. It’s you who is intentionally making things difficult for me! If that’s the case, then there is nothing left to say. Obviously, neither you nor I want to cooperate with each other, so let’s not!”

“Not wanting to cooperate with you?” Chai Xiyang sneered, “If I didn’t want to cooperate with you, would I have suggested it in the first place? You’re the one who fails to appreciate a good opportunity. Not only are you wasting opportunities, but you’re also not making any effort to progress while in this state. I thought last night’s lesson would have made you more aware of reality, and you’d know what would be the best choice for you! But it seems you’re still holding on to your pride even in your present situation! Do you really think you’re so important that you’ll always have someone to help you out?! Is that why you’re so complacent and pretend to be so high-and-mighty? Or do you think you can always rely on men just like your mother?!”

“Slap——”

Qiao Ning abruptly slapped him across the face.

She didn’t know why she was so enraged, tears welling up in her eyes.

Chai Xiyang lifted the corner of his mouth into a cold smirk, “What’s the meaning of this? Did I say something wrong?”

“Yes, you did!” Qiao Ning retorted with wide eyes, “You listen to me, I have never thought of relying on anyone! I am not pretending to be above it all, I just don’t want to be close to you! You were the one who told me to stay out of your sight forever, and I simply want to stay away from you. Isn’t that what you wanted?! But what are you doing now, insisting on cooperating with me? The person pretending to be high and mighty is you! You’re the one who doesn’t keep his word, who insists on cooperating with me! I agreed to cooperate with you, and now you’re deliberately causing difficulties. It’s you who’s the crazy one! I don’t want to cooperate with you anymore, let me go, I’m leaving right now…”

“Where do you think you’re going?!” Chai Xiyang’s eyes narrowed sharply, “Where else can you go?”
