The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 369: Chapter 369 Stay by My Side if You Obey – 1

She suddenly grabbed Dongfang Yu’s arm, staring intently at him as she interrogated, “Swear that everything you’ve told me is true! You haven’t deceived me?!”

Dongfang Yu’s voice resonated, “It’s true! I wouldn’t lie about this. I originally didn’t want to reveal this to you, but at this point, I need your cooperation.”

“Cooperation? What do you want me to do?” Hai Xiaotang asked, perplexed.

“Stay obediently by my side! Be my wife!” This was Dongfang Yu’s response.

Hai Xiaotang faltered, her heartbeat inexplicably….. skipping a beat.

However, upon hearing Dongfang Yu’s next words, the sporadic flutter at the bottom of her heart was immediately extinguished.

“Only if you are my wife, they wouldn’t dare to escalate matters and harm you. If you’re unharmed, grandpa will be safe, understand?”

There was a flicker in Hai Xiaotang’s eyes, “So until grandpa returns, I must cooperate with you?”

“Yes.”

“…Alright, I will cooperate with you!” Hai Xiaotang nodded with conviction.

She had to cooperate with him, as it was all for the sake of rescuing her grandfather.

“But why would you go this far to help us?” Hai Xiaotang gave voice to her doubts.

After all, her grandfather had attracted the ire of certain influential individuals. It seemed Dongfang Yu also had no way to deal with them, so logically, he should prioritize keeping himself out of harm’s way.

Dongfang Yu responded, matter of fact, “This is the debt I owe to grandpa. I’ve wronged him, and I naturally have to make amends!”

So they were together now, all for grandpa.

For her grandpa’s sake, she didn’t care anymore about Dongfang Yu’s concealment of their non-divorced status.

For grandpa’s sake, the two who were supposed to become estranged are now carrying on their marital relationship.

And nobody had any objections. Hai Xiaotang wouldn’t want to leave anymore, and he wouldn’t have to rack his brain on ways to keep her by his side.

For some reason, Dongfang Yu felt incredibly grateful for this twist of fate.

Even though grandpa was in danger now, he couldn’t help but feel lucky…

Dongfang Yu pulled himself back to reality, “Starting from today, you will stay here. I am considering how best to help grandpa, and you may be needed.”

Hai Xiaotang nodded unconditionally, “No problem, I’ll do anything!”

As long as it can resolve grandpa’s crisis.

“I have arranged a room for you. You should rest early.” Having said this, Dongfang Yu prepared to leave.

Hai Xiaotang unexpectedly blurted out, “Dongfang Yu, after all this is over, will we divorce?”

Dongfang Yu’s steps faltered.

Without turning back, his eyes seemed distant and lost to Hai Xiaotang’s view.

“Yes!” He answered instinctively, not so much addressing her, but seemingly persuading himself!

Dongfang Yu walked away, leaving Hai Xiaotang standing there for a moment before she left.

Starting from today, she became his wife again…

Hai Xiaotang, lying on her bed after taking a bath, felt exhausted but unable to sleep.

The light from Dongfang Yu’s study remained on for a long time.

*****************

The night passed.

Early the next morning, Hai Xiaotang woke up in some disbelief that she had spent the night in Dongfang Yu’s room.

Their conversations from yesterday still felt surreal to her.

Was grandpa really safe, just merely hiding?

Hai Xiaotang immediately got out of bed, washed and changed her clothes before heading downstairs.

As it happened, Dongfang Yu hadn’t left yet and was having breakfast in the dining room.
