Chapter 724: Love Above All Chapter 83

Her hand was grasped in mid-air.

His gaze was slightly cold as he stared at her, causing her innate assertiveness to weaken.

"So you think you have a point?" Bai Yaxuan gritted his teeth and seized her wrist with a sharp tone, "Let me tell you, I will never agree to a divorce in this lifetime. If you dare to do it, you’ll bear the consequences yourself!"

"You’re crazy!" Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t find the words to describe her feelings at the moment.

She had thought that time would erase all obsessive thoughts, but unexpectedly, he was still as unchanging as ever.

"Before I completely lose my mind, you’d best obey obediently."

He coldly released her hand and picked up a document from one side to read again.

Gu Xiaoxi clenched her fists tightly. With what Bai Yaxuan had just said, there was no way for her to continue in college. After his display today, she couldn’t use the excuse of school to avoid him anymore.

The car drove smoothly all the way to the Presidential Mansion.

Bai Yaxuan was looking down at the documents, while Gu Xiaoxi felt extremely agitated.

She was fed up with living in fear in his presence; she wanted to leave, to escape from this place.

She wanted to escape Bai Yaxuan’s control and live a life of freedom.

She was no longer able to consider her mother’s dying wishes, let alone manage the company.

Once back at the Presidential Mansion, Bai Yaxuan was the first to get out of the car.

Gu Xiaoxi hesitated at the entrance for a moment before following him inside.

"Bai Yaxuan, can we have a proper talk?" She bit her teeth and suppressed her temper, trying to appear calm and composed.

"Anything but divorce," Bai Yaxuan said indifferently before going up the stairs.

Gu Xiaoxi gritted her teeth and watched the man leave in the end.

She moved all her belongings to a guest room, which would be her room from now on.

After all, Bai Yaxuan had said that he would agree to anything but divorce.

Ensuring her own safety was the top priority for now.

After organizing her things, Gu Xiaoxi sat on the sofa and took out her cell phone.

Bai Yu hadn’t been seen for half a year; since leaving, the two of them had hardly been in contact.

And Dongfang Le seemed to be intentionally avoiding his family, so he didn’t contact her either.

Faced with unhappiness, she realized she didn’t even have anyone to talk to.

Just as she was about to call Mi Xi, someone knocked on the door.

Opening it, she saw Jue Qi standing at the doorway respectfully, "Madam, His Excellency asks for your presence in the study."

Gu Xiaoxi, although unwilling, procrastinated for a while but still went.

As she pushed open the door, Bai Yaxuan was already sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

Next to him, a stack of documents was placed, all itinerary arrangements.

"Come and sit down!"

"I can stand, just say what you need to say!" Gu Xiaoxi naturally felt uneasy. The man before her was, after all, very dangerous to her.

"Alright then, Jue Qi, read the itinerary arrangements. From now on, you’ll be joining me at some events..." Bai Yaxuan hadn’t finished speaking when Gu Xiaoxi immediately interrupted him.

"I won’t go!" She refused to appear in public with Bai Yaxuan.

"A year ago you could refuse, but now you have no choice," Bai Yaxuan said as he turned on the LCD screen in front of him. Immediately, some content started scrolling across.

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t understand for a moment!

"What does this mean?" she asked.

He raised his hand to Jue Qi, "You go out first."

After Jue Qi had left, Bai Yaxuan pointed at the subtitles and said, "Read the content on the screen carefully."

Gu Xiaoxi then seriously looked at the words on the screen.

"The First Lady has not been seen since getting married. Why doesn’t she even attend charity events?"

"She’s putting on airs. Does she disdain meeting the lower classes of society?"

"Starting to question the competence of this silly miss. Is she still foolish?"

"Last year there were earthquakes and floods, His Excellency personally visited the disaster areas to offer comfort. She, however, never appeared."

"Such a person without compassion does not deserve to be the First Lady."

Gu Xiaoxi selected a few comments to read, and then went through some more.

It was nothing more than people thinking that as the President’s Wife, she should pair up with her husband. Get more involved in charity and public interest, pay more attention to major public concerns.

Yet she had fulfilled none of it.

"Even if you don’t like me, you should still be mindful of the impact," said Bai Yaxuan.

Gu Xiaoxi took a deep breath, "If the impact is so bad, why not get a divorce? You can find a cultivated, qualified, and eloquent First Lady. Together with you, she can care for the national affairs."

"Stop bringing the topic back to divorce," Bai Yaxuan said irritatedly, rising from the sofa and advancing quickly towards Gu Xiaoxi, looming over her with a warning gaze, "This is the last time I’m warning you, don’t even think about divorce. There is a charity gala at eight tonight for AIDS fundraising. Tomorrow morning at eight, you’ll take a car to visit the patients at the hospital. The rest of the schedule will be told to you when the time comes. Now go get ready for the charity event tonight."

As Gu Xiaoxi listened to him list off a series of events, anger flared within her, "I’m not going!"

"That’s fine..." Bai Yaxuan’s lips curled into a sinister, mocking smile.

Gu Xiaoxi raised an eyebrow, not expecting him to agree so easily.

However, his following words turned her complexion ashen in an instant.

"You don’t have to go. Just stay at home and have a child. I’ll announce your pregnancy to the public tomorrow morning."
