After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Although Xu Bo'an didn't show any interest in Ye Xingning on the surface, he did have a good impression of her. After all, what young boy doesn't have a girl he likes?
However, Xu Bo'an was a rather shy young man back then, and he was quite conservative when it came to matters between men and women. Although he had noticed Ye Xingning since his freshman year military training, he only dared to secretly look at her from afar when no one was paying attention, and he did not dare to confess his feelings to her.

After a long time, Xu Bo'an heard people in the dormitory say that Ye Xingning's family was very well-off, while Xu Bo'an's family was just at the bottom of society and not even considered a wage earner. At that time, Xu Bo'an felt that his conditions were not good enough for Ye Xingning, so he gave up the idea of ​​confessing his feelings to her!
To put it bluntly, Xu Bo'an's feelings for Ye Xingning were just a one-sided crush. Ye Xingning was like an unattainable white moonlight to Xu Bo'an!
The white moonlight is the unfulfilled longing. More than ten years have passed, and when Xu Bo'an saw Ye Xingning again, he felt that she was still as dazzling as before, and his heart was quietly stirred with ripples!
After his divorce, Xu Bo'an hadn't felt this kind of flutter in his heart for a long time. Looking at Ye Xingning, who was even more beautiful and charming than before, Xu Bo'an said with great joy, "Yes, it's really fate. What brings you here?"

Ye Xingning reached out and brushed her hair back, saying, "I'm just here to stroll around! Nothing else! What about you?"

Xu Bo'an now has both strength and wealth, and has long since transformed from the introverted and shy young man into a composed, confident, and steady man!
Xu Bo'an said to Ye Xingning, "I just came here to stroll around. Since we've met by chance today, how about we have dinner together tonight and catch up?"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Ye Xingning nodded and said to him generously, "Okay!"

Xu Bo'an was overjoyed to hear Ye Xingning agree so readily. He then said to Ye Xingning, "What do you like to eat? I'll choose a suitable restaurant according to your taste!"

Ye Xingning smiled and said, "I don't have any particular hobbies, you can decide what you like!"

Xu Bo'an was about to search online when his phone rang. Seeing that it was Li Dehou calling again, he answered the phone and heard a hearty laugh on the other end, followed by Li Dehou's voice saying, "Hello, Mr. Xu, where are you now? I'll come pick you up and we'll go to dinner together tonight, how does that sound?"

Li Dehou made this call to Xu Bo'an for two reasons: first, to express his deep respect for Xu Bo'an, and second, to remind Xu Bo'an in case he forgot.

Xu Bo'an slapped his forehead and realized that he had already promised to have dinner with Li Dehou that evening, but he had just mentioned that he wanted to have dinner with Ye Xingning that evening!

Li Dehou was someone I had already agreed to beforehand, and now that they were already getting ready to go to dinner, I definitely couldn't refuse. As for Ye Xingning, she was Xu Bo'an's white moonlight, and we hadn't seen each other for over ten years. It was a rare opportunity to meet her again, and I had just made arrangements with her, so I certainly couldn't refuse either. Most importantly, Xu Bo'an didn't want to refuse from the bottom of his heart.

Since he couldn't refuse Li Dehou at the moment, Xu Bo'an said to Li Dehou on the phone, "Thank you for your kindness, but you don't need to drive to pick me up. I can drive there myself in a bit!"

Li Dehou said, "Alright, then I'll wait for Mr. Xu's arrival!"

After Xu Bo'an hung up the phone with Li Dehou, Ye Xingning looked at Xu Bo'an and said, "Are you busy? If you are, we can contact you another day!"

Xu Bo'an had already thought it through when he agreed to Li Dehou's invitation. Since he couldn't refuse Li Dehou's invitation, and he didn't want to refuse Ye Xingning's invitation at all, he decided to take Ye Xingning with him when he went to Li Dehou's dinner party later!

Having already made up his mind, Xu Bo'an said after hearing Ye Xingning's words, "It's nothing important, just a dinner party. Why don't we go together later?"

Ye Xingning said, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

Fearing that Ye Xingning might feel burdened, Xu Bo'an smiled and said to her, "Since I dared to invite you to come with me, it means this dinner isn't very formal. It's just a meal between ordinary friends. Come on, let's go together!"

Hearing Xu Bo'an speak so casually, Ye Xingning figured it wasn't a very formal occasion, so she said to Xu Bo'an, "Well... okay!"

Xu Bo'an was quite happy to hear that Ye Xingning was willing to go with him. The two then got into Xu Bo'an's car and drove towards the place that Li Dehou had booked in advance!

The two arrived at their destination in about ten minutes. Xu Bo'an parked the car in front of the restaurant, and the two got out and walked side by side into the restaurant.

Ye Xingning was somewhat shocked when he saw the restaurant's magnificent architecture and the large characters "Jiangpan Jinchu" above the restaurant. He and his friends had studied in Jiangcheng, the provincial capital of Jiangzhou, and knew that this restaurant was the most luxurious and top-notch in the entire city.

Even though Ye Xingning's family was well-off, she had never been to such a top-notch restaurant before. She looked at Xu Bo'an and said, "Bo'an, this is the most luxurious restaurant in the whole of Jiangcheng. Are you sure today's dinner is just a casual get-together between ordinary friends?"

Xu Bo'an looked at Ye Xingning and said, "Yes, it's just a casual get-together among friends!"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Ye Xingning said, "Bo'an, you must have struck it rich. Do you usually come to such high-end places for your gatherings?"

Upon hearing Ye Xingning's question, Xu Bo'an replied modestly, "I wouldn't dare say I'd get rich, but coming to places like this occasionally is certainly an option!"

Ye Xingning smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "Then I'll come here today to broaden my horizons from your experience!"

The two walked into the restaurant chatting and laughing, and then took the elevator to the top floor. As soon as Xu Bo'an and Ye Xingning got off the elevator, Li Dehou, who had been waiting at the door, quickly came up to them and said to Xu Bo'an, "Mr. Xu, you've arrived!"

After hearing Li Dehou's words, Xu Bo'an nodded politely in response, then looked at Ye Xingning and said to Li Dehou, "Mr. Li, this is a friend I brought along. You don't mind, do you?"

Li Dehou did see Ye Xingning when she first came in, as her appearance was quite striking in the crowd. However, Li Dehou only assumed she was a woman who came to eat there and didn't expect that she had come with Xu Bo'an.
Later, seeing the woman closely following Xu Bo'an, he guessed that Xu Bo'an had brought her. However, he didn't know the woman's identity, so he didn't greet her immediately. Now, hearing what Xu Bo'an said, Li Dehou quickly looked at Ye Xingning, his face full of smiles, and greeted her, saying, "Hello, Miss!"

Ye Xingning replied politely, "Hello!"

Then Li Dehou led Xu Bo'an and Ye Xingning towards the restaurant inside, where they sat down at the table that Li Dehou had reserved in advance.

This seat is near the window, offering a panoramic view of the entire city. The restaurant's decor is simple yet sophisticated, and soft music plays, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

After the group sat down, Li Dehou smiled broadly and handed Xu Bo'an a menu, saying, "Mr. Xu, what would you like to eat?" Xu Bo'an took the menu and said to Ye Xingning, "Xingning, I'm not good at ordering, so you should order!"

When Ye Xingning saw Li Dehou just now, he judged from Li Dehou's clothes, appearance and the aura he exuded that Li Dehou was a person of great wealth and status. Xu Bo'an was having dinner with such a person, and when the other party asked him to order food, he was not polite at all. Was it because Xu Bo'an was not polite, or because Xu Bo'an's status had now surpassed that of Li Dehou?

Although Xu Bo'an had just told her that today's dinner was just a casual get-together among ordinary friends, Ye Xingning was still being extra considerate since she didn't know the relationship between the two of them. She didn't want to cause any unnecessary burden to her old classmate.

Thinking of this, Ye Xingning said to Xu Bo'an, "I'm not particularly good at ordering food! Let Mr. Li order!"

Xu Bo'an really disliked ordering food, so after hearing Ye Xingning's words, he handed the menu to Li Dehou and said to him, "Mr. Li, you should order!"

Li Dehou smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony!"

After Li Dehou finished speaking, he didn't open the menu to look at it. Instead, he looked at the waiter next to him and said, "Just bring ten of your best and most distinctive dishes!"

After hearing Li Dehou's words, the waiter said, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment!" and then left.

After hearing Li Dehou's words, Ye Xingning confirmed her guess. Someone who can afford such a high-end restaurant and order the best and most special dishes without even looking at the menu must be someone who is not short of money!

If an ordinary person were to occasionally splurge here, they would definitely scrutinize the menu carefully before choosing the most affordable dishes, and then feel the pinch for quite some time.

Li Dehou ordered food without even glancing at the menu, which is enough to show that he is no ordinary person.

After the waiter left, Li Dehou looked at Xu Bo'an with a big smile and said, "Mr. Xu, you saved the lives of my whole family. We are so grateful to you. It is my great honor that you agreed to have dinner with me today, putting aside past grievances!"

Xu Bo'an said, "It was just a small favor, something I did in the heat of the moment. You don't need to take it too seriously!"

Hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Li Dehou was even more impressed with Xu Bo'an. If an ordinary person had done such a great deed, they would at least be proud of their achievement. However, Xu Bo'an not only did not boast, but he also spoke of the matter in such a light and casual manner, as if he did not care about it at all.

Li Dehou said to Xu Bo'an, "Mr. Xu, I owe you a huge debt of gratitude for this matter. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask, and I will do my best to help you!"

Just as Li Dehou finished speaking, a man's voice suddenly rang out: "Ye Xingning, what are you doing here?"

Ye Xingning looked up and saw her husband, Ma Hongyu, standing in front of her, looking at her with a very angry expression.

Upon seeing her husband, Ye Xingning said indifferently, "If you're here, why can't I be here too!"

Just then, a very sexy woman with big wavy hair, bright red lips, wearing a miniskirt, black stockings, and high heels walked out from behind Ma Hongyu. After seeing Ma Hongyu, the woman walked over directly, took his arm, and then gave Ye Xingning a charming smile and said, "Oh, so sister-in-law is here too!"

Ye Xingning looked at the sexy woman who was holding her husband's arm with an indifferent expression and said, "Please speak to me normally. I'm not a man and I don't fall for your act. I'm not your sister-in-law, so don't call me that!"

After hearing Ye Xingning's words, the sexy woman smiled at Ye Xingning and said, "You are Hongyu's wife, and I am his sister. Moreover, I am much younger than you. I call you sister-in-law only as a sign of respect. You don't have to talk to me like that!"

Ye Xingning glanced at the sexy woman and said, "Hehe, little sister, have you ever seen a little sister climb into her brother's bed? I've never seen such a bizarre brother and sister. You're just trying to cover up your ugly behavior by becoming godparents. You're shameless!"

The sexy woman looked at Ye Xingning and said, "What are you saying, sister-in-law? What do you mean by shameless? I just know how to capture a man's heart!"

After the sexy woman finished speaking, she looked at Ma Hongyu and said affectionately, "Aren't you right, Brother Hongyu?"

Ma Hongyu reached out and pulled the sexy woman into his arms, looking at her gently as he said, "What my sister said is absolutely right!"

Seeing their disgusting appearance, Ye Xingning said to Ma Hongyu, "I feel disgusted just looking at you two, so get out of my way!"

Hearing Ye Xingning say that, Ma Hongyu looked at her angrily and said, "Ye Xingning, you are my wife. What's wrong with me being here? Am I going to interfere with your date?"

Ye Xingning said, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Ma Hongyu said, "Ye Xingning, are you kidding me? You're out having dinner with some random guy late at night and you're saying I'm talking nonsense?"

Ye Xingning said to her husband Ma Hongyu, "We're getting a divorce soon, so what business is it of yours who I have dinner with?"

Ma Hongyu said, "You can't get a divorce unless I agree to it!" (End of Chapter)
