Dai Shiyuan stood in the living room for a while and saw that Shan Yaxin was still locked inside alone, which made her a little worried.
Actually, she shouldn't have interfered in the affairs of the male and female leads, but having lived with the female lead for so long, she had developed some sense of camaraderie with her.
Seeing that the other party was in a bad mood now, she couldn't just sit back and do nothing like before.
Dai Shiyuan sighed silently and walked over to knock on the door a few times, using a soft tone, "Sister Yaxin, are you okay?"
There was no response from inside the room, and she pressed her ear against the door but couldn't hear anything.
Recalling the suppressed anger of the female lead when she came back, Dai Shiyuan couldn't help but imagine her crying and feeling wronged inside the room.
With this thought, Dai Shiyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she knocked on the door harder, repeating in a louder voice, "Sister Yaxin, are you okay? If you've been wronged, you can talk to me about it."
Shan Yaxin leaned against the head of the bed, adjusting her mood, and when she heard this, her eyes flickered slightly, and a strange emotion welled up inside her.
She had been scolded by Dai Wenhao today, who accused her of shamelessly flirting with other men and ruining the reputation. She had heard such hurtful words many times, but she couldn't help but care about them.
In the past, she would have gone to great lengths to explain herself, but this time, she remained silent throughout and didn't bow down to that man in the slightest.
She only felt angry after being insulted, without any sadness or being misunderstood by others.
It seemed that the younger sister-in-law had misunderstood her emotions, but this was the first time someone had actively and directly cared about her.
Shan Yaxin blinked and suppressed the anger in her heart, standing up to open the door.
Dai Shiyuan heard the footsteps inside and stood up straight, but when she saw Shan Yaxin's cold face, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister Yaxin, are you... okay?"
"Xiaoyuan, thank you, I'm fine," Shan Yaxin smiled lightly, thawing the frost on her face.
Dai Shiyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled, softly persuading, "My brother just misunderstood for a moment, I think he'll understand when he calms down."
Shan Yaxin only smiled in response and didn't answer.
In fact, the female lead had already made it clear that she didn't care about the male lead, and she thought that the two of them would eventually end up together.
At the moment, if she could reduce misunderstandings, she would.
Now it seems that she may have been 'meddling' too much.
"Xiaoyuan, I'm sorry. Today, due to my personal emotions, this meal has left you with a bad memory. Next time, I will invite you to dinner alone as compensation." Shan Yaxin said with a smile, her eyebrows and eyes curving into a gentle arc.
"Okay..." Dai Shiyuan nodded awkwardly, not used to Shan Yaxin suddenly changing the subject.
But fortunately, the awkwardness was resolved.
Dai Shiyuan smiled, turned and went back to her room to play with her phone.
Not long after, her phone rang, it was the male lead calling.
Dai Shiyuan was a bit confused. She answered but didn't speak, and a male voice full of suppressed anger came from the other side.
"I'll come over later, you open the door for me." This was said in a commanding tone.
Dai Shiyuan understood that the male lead was being haughty, but she was still a bit unable to bear his high-handed attitude. She made a sound of agreement and hung up the phone.
The male lead was probably coming over to give the female lead a way out. As long as the female lead explained things properly, this matter would probably be resolved.
It seemed that the overbearing male lead was now willing to take the initiative to compromise, indicating that he cared more and more about the female lead.
But was the female lead willing to give face?
Dai Shiyuan was not sure, so she decided to probe first.
She put down her phone and quickly ran out of the door, unexpectedly seeing the female lead playing with the cat in the living room.
Their eyes met, and Dai Shiyuan immediately showed a cute smile and said, "My brother said he's coming over later, probably to clarify what happened earlier."
"Okay." Shan Yaxin responded faintly, turning her head to continue playing with the black cat.
Although the younger sister-in-law's expression was calm, the excitement in her bright eyes was too obvious. She couldn't ignore it.
Perhaps the younger sister-in-law thought that as long as Dai Wenhao came over, this matter could be explained clearly. But she didn't want to waste her breath on that person, nor did she want to grovel to him.
After waiting for almost an hour, the door was forcefully knocked.
Dai Shiyuan's spirits lifted, she looked at Shan Yaxin who was holding the cat on the sofa, and quickly ran over to open the door.
Seeing the cold face of the male lead, Dai Shiyuan squeezed out a smile and stepped aside, saying, "Brother, come in quickly, Sister Yaxin is in the living room."
Although the male lead had a bad attitude, she didn't mind for the sake of the female lead's face.
It's quite tiring to be a peacemaker these days.
Dai Wenhao walked into the room with big strides, sitting down casually as if he were in his own office, and said in a cold voice, "You must give me a reasonable explanation for what happened today. If the explanation doesn't satisfy me, I'll make sure you know the consequences."
"What do you want me to explain?" Shan Yaxin stopped petting the cat and lifted her eyelids to give Dai Wenhao a cold glance. "It's not the first time I've had a meal with him, and you've even run into us before."
"Is that your explanation?" Dai Wenhao narrowed his eyes and stood up angrily.
Dai Shiyuan retreated to the kitchen door, only showing half of her head to observe the situation outside.
Clearly, the misunderstanding could have been resolved through a simple conversation, but the female lead put on an indifferent attitude, refusing to explain, and her words and behavior implied that the male lead was making a fuss over nothing.
This would only further enrage the male lead and escalate the situation.
"Not explaining means you're admitting it, right?" Dai Wenhao's eyes turned red, and he glared at Shan Yaxin while clenching his fists, making a "cracking" sound.
Dai Shiyuan could hear it even from the kitchen, and her heart trembled with fear.
She was worried that the male lead would lose his temper and hit the female lead, but the female lead remained calm and showed no inclination to explain.
"Fine, since you've done something so shameless, I can only divorce you." Dai Wenhao's eyes were red, and he yelled, his forehead bulging with veins.
Dai Shiyuan could feel that the male lead was on the verge of exploding, and his anger had reached its peak when he said those words.
However, the female lead remained indifferent, and her calm demeanor made the male lead's behavior even more ridiculous.
Clearly, the male lead came with a high attitude to give the female lead a chance, but he ended up making himself furious and lost his usual composure and elegance.
Dai Shiyuan secretly marveled at the female lead's calmness and indifference, and couldn't help but admire her.
"If that's what you want, then let's divorce. I'll prepare the divorce papers and send them to your company tomorrow. You just need to sign them," Shan Yaxin spoke in a calm tone, as if it were a small matter.
Her indifferent attitude seemed to show a hint of rebellious contempt, as if she didn't take the male lead seriously at all.
Dai Wenhao had always been praised and flattered as a superior figure, and had never been subjected to such humiliation. His face turned livid with anger. "I'll prepare the divorce papers, you just need to sign them," he gritted through his teeth.
"Suit yourself," Shan Yaxin replied calmly, not putting much thought into the matter.
As soon as the female lead finished speaking, Dai Shiyuan saw the male lead's face turn even worse. He seemed to want to say something, but choked it back and stormed off.
There was a loud "bang," which startled Dai Shiyuan. She patted her chest and stood up.
"Xiaoyuan, do you have something to say?" Shan Yaxin turned her head, her gaze sharp.
It was only then that Dai Shiyuan realized that the female lead was not entirely indifferent, but was hiding her emotions. She was just concealing her anger in order to avoid losing her composure in front of the male lead.
After all, the one who was angry in a dispute always seemed embarrassing and diminished in value.
"It's nothing..." Dai Shiyuan forced out a smile and shook her head stiffly.
The divorce between the male and female leads was a climax in the book, which wouldn't happen until the middle of the story. It was unexpected that the two of them would propose divorce without their relationship having even blossomed yet.
This development caught Dai Shiyuan off guard, but she understood that there was nothing she could do to stop it.
Therefore, she had no intention of trying to persuade the female lead.
"Well, Xiaoyuan, are you still going to study today?" Shan Yaxin put the cat down and softened her expression.
Dai Shiyuan had intended to nod, but after thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said with a smile, "No, I'm going to study in the room today."
The male lead had just left in a fit of anger and something "big" was going to happen next. It was better not to go to the bar today.
Moreover, the female lead seemed to be in a bad mood, and Dai Shiyuan could stay and comfort her for a while.
"Okay, I'll go buy some groceries and make something delicious tonight," Shan Yaxin smiled lightly, her face returning to its usual warmth.
Dai Shiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and went back to her room to lie down.
She had spent too long crouching in the kitchen just now and her legs and neck were a bit stiff and sore.
Dai Shiyuan lay comfortably on the sofa, closing her eyes and constantly replaying the scene of the male and female leads quarreling in her mind.
Dai Shiyuan relaxed on the couch, comfortably squinting her eyes as the image of the male and female leads arguing repeatedly floated through her mind.
The male lead obviously did not realize the seriousness of the problem and did not know that his current domineering attitude was completely useless to the reborn female lead, instead making her even more disgusted.
Once this marriage is over, according to the female lead's current resolute and tough handling style, she definitely will not remarry.
But it is not ruled out that the male lead may catch up with the female lead through the crematorium.
Dai Shiyuan was lost in thought when her phone rang again. She picked it up and saw that it was her father calling.
"Dad, what's up?" Dai Shiyuan sat up and said softly.
"I heard that your brother is preparing divorce papers. Do you know what's going on?" Dai's father asked anxiously, his shock not concealed in his words.
Dai Shiyuan understood what her father meant and said truthfully, "My brother just came to see his wife and they had some conflict, and then they mentioned divorce. I couldn't stop them."
With the male lead's angry appearance, she did not dare to intervene. If she were accidentally injured, it would be bad.
"Your brother is also unreasonable. How can they divorce over a small conflict...?" Dai's father grumbled, saying a lot.
Dai Shiyuan patiently listened, occasionally saying "um" to show agreement.
"You should advise your sister-in-law to be calm and not impulsive like your brother. Two people in a relationship will always have conflicts and need someone to step back. She's a teacher and should understand the principles behind it," Dai's father said.
Dai Shiyuan felt uncomfortable listening.
Is it okay for the male lead to be impulsive, but the female lead must be understanding?
Should she just endure the male lead's impulsiveness and suffer?
What kind of logic is this?
Clearly, the male lead was slandering the female lead without any reason and saying many hurtful things.
In the end, his attitude was extremely arrogant and not at all apologetic. Instead, it was like he was giving the female lead a chance.
It was just that after being slapped in the face by the female lead, he threatened divorce in a fit of anger.
"If you can't persuade her, then I'll talk to your sister-in-law," Dai father continued, sounding serious.
Dai Shiyuan rolled her eyes and replied with an "Mm-hmm."
