The obsessive CEO's white moonlight is me

Chapter 123 Leaving

Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Xie Huaijin and Fu Silin stood facing each other.

Xie Huaijin stared blankly at Fu Silin, his gaze cold and distant, as if the person standing before him was not the partner he was about to spend his life with, but a stranger.

His voice was low and calm, as if unaffected by any emotions, like a stagnant pool without the slightest ripple.

He slowly said, “Walk into this place…” As he said this, his gaze fell on the three glaring words above him—“Civil Affairs Bureau”.

He pushed up his glasses, as if trying to see more clearly, but in reality, his vision was already blurred.

Those three words grew larger and clearer in his eyes, and they pierced his heart more and more.

He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice steady: "Ayi, I'm sorry, I broke my promise."

He spoke these words as if he had used all his strength, and after he finished speaking, his body trembled slightly.

However, he didn't stop, but continued, "But this is only temporary. Once I've completed my plan, we'll be together soon." His voice revealed a firmness and determination, as if this plan was the most important thing in his life, and nothing could stop him from achieving it.

"From now on, we're all in the same boat, sharing both prosperity and adversity."

He spoke slowly, each word as if carefully considered, conveying an undeniable resolve.

Looking at his expression, Fu Silin said, "Have you thought this through? Once you go in, there's no turning back."

Xie Huaijin was silent for a moment, then nodded. "I've thought it through."

Having said that, he turned to walk into the Civil Affairs Bureau. Fu Silin watched his retreating figure, said nothing more, and walked beside him inside.

However, what Xie Huaijin didn't know was that Qiao Yi had already noticed his unusual behavior.

She had just been standing not far from them, watching his back as he and a strange woman walked away.

Then, they went into the Civil Affairs Bureau together...

Joey felt dizzy and her legs went weak, almost causing her to collapse to the ground.

All her trust and expectations shattered like bubbles at that moment.

She had always thought that Xie Huaijin's feelings for her were as firm as a rock, but she never expected that he would come to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate with another woman.

Joey returned home dejectedly and locked herself in her room.

The images of Xie Huaijin and Fu Silin kept flashing through her mind, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Inside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Xie Huaijin and Fu Silin successfully obtained their marriage certificate.

Xie Huaijin looked at the marriage certificate in his hand, feeling a mix of emotions.

He thought he could endure anything for the sake of the plan, but now he was secretly worried about Joey's reaction when he found out the truth.

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, he wanted to go back immediately.

"You wait."

Xie Huaijin turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Now that we're married, I will keep my promise and can solve your company's problems. In return, you have to promise me one thing."

He waited for her to speak.

"The Fu family already knows about my marriage. You'll have to accompany me back home often from now on, otherwise they'll find out, understand?"

Xie Huaijin frowned, but nodded anyway. "Okay, I understand."

Fu Silin nodded in satisfaction, "That's good. I will arrange for funds to be injected into your company as soon as possible to solve your immediate problem."

Xie Huaijin was thinking about Qiao Yi, so after giving a perfunctory reply, he left in a hurry.

He returned home with a heavy heart, and as soon as he opened the door, he went straight to Joey's room.

However, when he arrived at Joey's door, he found it tightly closed, and no matter how much he knocked, there was no response from inside.

A sense of foreboding welled up in Xie Huaijin's heart, and he began to worry about Joey's condition.

He lingered at the door for a while, then decided to go find the spare key.

Finally, he found the spare key in the drawer, his hands trembling slightly as he inserted it into the keyhole, turned it gently, and the door opened.

The moment the door opened, Xie Huaijin's gaze was immediately drawn to the window.

He saw Joey standing there quietly, his back to him, motionless, as if completely isolated from the world around him.

Xie Huaijin felt a sharp pain in his heart. He quickly walked to Qiao Yi's side, wanting to explain everything.

However, just as he was about to speak, Joey suddenly turned around and said coldly, "No need to explain, I saw it all."

These words struck Xie Huaijin like a bolt from the blue, leaving him stunned.

He stood there, stunned, staring at Joey's indifferent back, momentarily at a loss for words. His hands gripped Ay's shoulders tightly.

“Ayi, listen to me. I have my reasons for all this, it’s all for the company. Once things are settled, I will divorce her. It was just a transaction between us.”

His eyes revealed a sense of helplessness and pain as he spoke.

Joey's body trembled slightly as she stared intently at Xie Huaijin, as if trying to see through his eyes to discern his true inner thoughts.

"Actually, it's not your fault. I really don't have any family background to help you, Xie Huaijin. Let's break up. You and I are destined not to be together." Joey's voice was trembling with tears.

"You don't need to explain to me anymore. Since you've already registered your marriage and are husband and wife, I won't interfere with your lives. Marriage isn't a game, something you can't just get married and divorced on a whim. With that girl's background, do you think you can get a divorce?"

Then, Xie Huaijin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

“Ayi, I know you probably won’t believe anything I say right now, but I really have no other choice. The company is facing a lot of difficulties right now, and only by marrying her can I get her family’s support to help the company get through this crisis. Ayi, you have to believe me, there are no feelings between us. Once the company issues are resolved, I will immediately divorce her and come back to you.”

Joey shook off his hand and turned her head away.

At this moment, Fu Silin called, urging him to accompany her back to the Fu family home, which made him even more annoyed.

When she saw the incoming call, her eyes flickered with sadness.

"You can go now. I'll leave tonight, don't worry."

He was about to speak

It was interrupted

"go!"

He had no choice but to harden his heart and turn away.

The Fu family——

At this moment, the Fu family members were all in the hall.

"You're so careless about marriage? Celine, you've disappointed me so much! Humph!"

Fu Wenyuan sat on the sofa, his face full of anger, while Fu Shiyue stood beside him with a serious expression.

"Dad, I've found someone I love. What's wrong with marrying him and getting a marriage certificate?"

Fu Silin looked directly into her father's eyes and said, "Dad, I like Xie Huaijin as a person. How would I know he's from the Xie family? Even if I knew now, what difference would it make?"

He stood up from the sofa: "You unfilial daughter! How dare you talk to me like that! Don't you know what kind of situation the Xie family is in now? You still dare to be with him and marry a useless man!"

Fu Silin: "How could Dad say that to him!"

At this moment, Xie Huaijin walked in and greeted him politely, "Uncle, hello." Fu Wenyuan looked him up and down and said, "Hmph, you're quite the opportunist. You even tried to get close to my daughter for the sake of the company."

He calmly replied, "Uncle, my Xie family is indeed facing difficulties right now. When I was dating Silin, I didn't know she was the daughter of the Fu family. Even if I knew now, I didn't rely on the Fu family or Silin. I will give Silin a bright future with my own abilities and I won't let her suffer."

Fu Wenyuan sneered, "You? The Xie family is in dire straits right now, what do you have to offer Silin happiness?"

Xie Huaijin straightened his back, his gaze resolute. "Uncle, although I am in dire straits, I have the ability and determination to revitalize the Xie family. I will prove with my actions that I can provide Silin with a stable life." Fu Shiyue then spoke up, "Hmph, easy for you to say. Talk is cheap. What specific plans do you have?"

"I plan to integrate the Xie family's existing resources, explore new business areas, and seek win-win cooperation with the Fu family."

Fu Wenyuan's expression softened slightly, but he was still not completely convinced.

“I hope you’re not just saying this. Celine is my daughter, and I don’t want her to suffer with you.”

Fu Silin walked to Xie Huaijin's side and took his arm.

“Dad, I believe in Huaijin. He can definitely do it.”

Xie Huaijin turned to look at her, his mind filled with a myriad of emotions.

In his heart, he was thinking of another woman, Joey...

Meanwhile, Joey, heartbroken, prepares to leave the place where they once lived together.

Before leaving, she looked back one last time.

"Goodbye forever, Xie Huaijin."

"You did a great job just now. You have the talent to be a movie star, Xie Huaijin."

After dealing with the Fu family, the two of them left the Fu family residence.

Xie Huaijin sat in the driver's seat, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.

"What you just said almost made me believe it, that you could make me happy and not let me suffer..." Fu Silin sat in the passenger seat, turned her head and looked at him driving.

Xie Huaijin frowned and remained silent.

Halfway through the journey, Xie Huaijin's phone suddenly rang; it was the family's housekeeper calling.

The butler said anxiously, "Young Master Xie, Miss Joey has packed her things and left a letter saying she's never coming back."

Xie Huaijin's hand jerked violently, and he almost lost control of the steering wheel.

Upon hearing the conversation, a complex expression flashed across Fu Silin's eyes.

Ignoring Fu Silin's objections, Xie Huaijin immediately turned the car around and rushed home. Once home, he frantically searched for the letter; every word on it pierced his heart like a sharp blade.

He suddenly regretted his decision; he shouldn't have hurt Joey for the sake of the company.

He decided that no matter the cost, he would bring Joey back.

Looking at his anxious expression, Fu Silin felt a mix of emotions. She seemed to know that she had fallen in love with this man whose heart belonged to someone else, but she didn't want to give up easily. An emotional entanglement had just begun.

He rushed to Joey's room, turned on the light, and found it empty; all of Joey's belongings were gone.

Standing there, frozen in place, as if my soul had been ripped out.

He then received a text message from Joey: "I'm leaving. I wish you and her happiness."
