After three years of misplaced affection, Mrs. Yu is no longer willing to pretend to be obedient.

"I..." Jian Ailing frowned, her eyes darting around, "...Me?"

Yu Yunting suddenly stepped forward, and Jian Ailing instinctively stepped back. She tripped over the sofa behind her and fell back onto the armchair.

Yu Yunting stepped forward, placed his hands on both sides of the sofa armrests, and trapped her inside the sofa.

"Yes, it's you." He lowered his eyes, his amber eyes fixed on her. "I want you back."

It's so ironic. Four years ago, her family forced her to marry Yu Yunting so that Chaoyuan could survive.

Four years later, Yu Yunting used the same reason to threaten her, trying to get her back to him.

"It seems Jensen wasn't telling you the truth." He raised the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes. "I said the same thing to your family."

Jane Ailing stared at him in astonishment, her eyes wide.

"Of course, you can refuse," Yu Yunting chuckled, "but if you want a divorce, you can't get one without my cooperation."

In the end, you'll end up with nothing.

"Yu Yunting, why won't you let me go? You just want to play with my feelings, do you have to go to such lengths? Sincerity is earned with sincerity, how can I possibly give you my sincerity after you treat me like this?" Jian Ailing gritted her teeth and looked up at him unwillingly.

She had thought the hardest part of the divorce would be getting past her family, but to her surprise, they showed no anger or blame whatsoever. On the contrary, it was Yu Yunting, the man who had made a pact with her and had always treated her like a toy, who refused to let her go.

"How do you know I didn't?" His breath drew closer again, silently enveloping her.

"You..." She had been deceived too many times by the people she trusted. Jian Ailing stared at him, not knowing at all whether this man was still worthy of her trust. "You don't have any credibility with me either."

"I will show you my true feelings." Yu Yunting stared intently at her.

It must be admitted that those slightly curved eyes were indeed very beautiful, sincere and charming, and very deceptive.

"As long as you give me this chance."

Now that things have come to this, Jane Eyling feels that she doesn't seem to have many choices.

It's likely that Yu Yunting won't cooperate with her in getting a proper divorce. She'll have to go through litigation, but that might drag on for another year or two.

Not only will she have to pay a large sum of legal fees, but the Chaoyuan Group's operations will also face difficulties.

If she agrees to go back, all the problems seem to be solved. Chaoyuan Group can successfully secure the orders, and her brother's marriage to Han Jia can proceed smoothly.

But this meant she would have to continue playing this man's emotional games. Although Yu Yunting seemed sincere now, after so many deceptions and betrayals, Jian Ailing no longer knew who she could trust.

"Okay..." After a long while, she replied in a very soft voice.

Yu Yunting's expression changed instantly.

"But I have conditions."

"What are the conditions?"

"From now on, if we have any arguments or problems, you must not involve Chaoyuan Group or my family and friends. You must not cause trouble for anyone."

"continue."

Besides that, Jian Ailing couldn't think of anything else. She rolled her eyes, thought hard, and added, "Give me back my ten million."

This ten million was originally her ransom, and since the ransom failed, she couldn't just give it to him for nothing.

"Is there anything else?"

"Also... regarding the contract with Chaoyuan, you need to follow the proper procedures and not obstruct them because of personal reasons."

Yu Yunting raised an eyebrow. "Okay."

"We need to draw up a written agreement. If you break it, you have to divorce me and pay me ten million." After all, he had gone back on his word once before, and she dared not trust these verbal promises again.

"Okay, I'll have my lawyer draft this document." He answered readily. "Are you done?"

Since he had asked, Jane Ailing felt it would be a waste not to say something more. She frowned, then thought hard, "Then you can't cheat on me, and you can't interfere with my work, and you can't get angry with me all the time..."

Jane tried hard to think, but couldn't think of anything else. "That's all for now."

"Okay, the lawyer will draft the documents and send them to you for your signature."

Unexpectedly, Yu Yunting agreed so readily. Jian Ailing felt there might be something fishy going on. "Then... you don't have any demands of me?"

"As long as you come back, don't think about leaving again, and don't say the word 'divorce' again." Yu Yunting brought his nose close to her hair and took a deep breath. "I have no demands on you."

"So, have we reached a consensus?" His breathing became a little rapid without him realizing it.

"Hmm... I guess so." She didn't have any better options right now, so she could only take it one step at a time.

Yu Yunting finally let go of the sofa armrest, stood up straight again, and took out his phone to make a call.

"Xu Cheng, come to the lounge now and take Ai Ling back to Yun Song Bay."

"Boss, isn't the annual party still going on?" Xu Cheng's voice sounded a little surprised.

Jane Ailing, who was sitting on the sofa, also looked at him in surprise.

"You can go first."

"……Understood."

"But I haven't finished my work yet!" Jian Ailing asked in surprise after Yu Yunting hung up the phone.

"Don't worry, the brand department won't delay your final payment. If they do, you can tell me directly." Yu Yunting glanced down at the time on his watch.

If it weren't for the fact that he had to attend this annual meeting, he would have wanted to go back with her directly.

"But all my luggage is in Yanshan Prefecture. Even if I go back with you, I won't have anything..."

"All your things are here. I didn't let Aunt Lü touch them." Yu Yunting paused at the door. "I'll have someone go with you to pack your luggage tomorrow."

Judging from this, he won't let her leave alone tonight.

"Should I talk to the brand department about this?"

"I'll have Xu Cheng talk to him. You just wait here." After saying that, Yu Yunting walked out of the lounge and quickly closed the door.

Jane crossed her arms, looking somewhat helpless.

Even if she didn't tell Li Tong, shouldn't she at least say hello to Zhao Zitong?

"Hey? Zhao Zitong?" Jian Ailing dialed his number. "Um... I have something to do. Could you please pack up my camera and tripod for me?"

"What's wrong? Did someone bully you again?" Zhao Zitong's voice sounded full of worry.

"Um..." Jian Ailing smiled awkwardly, "Well, not really. It's hard to explain to you, but I really can't go back to pack right now."

"Okay, don't worry, we can handle it."

She had just hung up the phone when the door to the lounge was pushed open, and Xu Cheng walked in.

"Mrs. Yu, I'll take you home now."
