"President Xie?"
Wen Yu hadn't seen Xie Yanci on set in a long time.
He glanced at the Alpha drawing closer, then at Xu Shi, who sat on a lounge chair looking somewhat stunned, and seemed to understand something.
"Hehe..." He gave a few silly chuckles and tactfully left.

Filming had wrapped, and there weren't many crew members around.
Xu Shi looked up, staring blankly at Xie Yanci as he approached.
The Alpha was still dressed in a long black coat. His sculpted brow cast shadows downward, and his deep eyes held emotions Xu Shi couldn't quite understand.
He no longer seemed as aloof and untouchable as before. When his gaze turned toward Xu Shi, he seemed to have something to say but held back.
Xu Shi hadn't expected Xie Yanci to come looking for him again.
Just moments ago, he'd regretted saying those things during their argument, but the instant they met again, his awkward stubbornness resurfaced.
No amount of sweet words could change the fact that they were getting divorced.
Xu Shi instinctively averted his gaze, stood up, and silently gathered his things, preparing to leave.

Xie Yanci had grown used to Xu Shi wanting to leave the moment he saw him.
He knew his wife didn't love him.
He stopped and deliberated for a long time before finally speaking, just before Xu Shi could leave. "I'm going to France the day after tomorrow to discuss a project."
It meant they would be parting soon.
Xu Shi stopped.
Behind him, the Alpha continued in a voice devoid of any discernible emotion. "For five months."

Xu Shi instinctively turned around.
His beautiful eyes trembled slightly. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The president of the Xie Corporation was going abroad on business
