Chapter 2318: Totally Unwelcomed

Ning Shu felt totally unwelcomed here.
She was feeling as unwelcome as any third wheel would be right now.
Once they were in the restaurant, An Xuchen pulled a chair out for Yan Suni. She hurriedly said to him, “Pull a chair out for Jingjing too.”
“No, I can do it myself.” Ning Shu pulled out a chair with one hand and sat down.
An Xuchen only looked at Ning Shu, then went to sit next to Yan Suni.
Ning Shu was rendered speechless by the sight of them…
An Xuchen looked at the menu and ordered. So did Yan Suni, who only ordered a vegetable salad.
Ning Shu, meanwhile, said directly to the waiter, “I’ll have two steaks.”
An Xuchen frowned. “Why are you ordering two servings?”
“One serving isn’t enough for me,” Ning Shu matter-of-factly said.
“Don’t you have any shame? How can anyone order two servings of food here?” An Xuchen looked at Ning Shu extremely unkindly, as if she had embarrassed him.
“I came here to eat. The amount of food I order is my business,” Ning Shu said indifferently.
“Guys, stop arguing,” Yan Suni said.
An Xuchen’s face was clearly showing his annoyance. His tolerance for Ning Shu was depleting, fast.
Ning Shu thought that An Xuchen probably wanted a divorce from her. He was now, at least, also considered a boss. He probably felt like her status didn’t match up to his.
The steak was served soon after. Ning Shu picked up her knife and fork and started devouring her food. Food was truly the only thing that would never let you down.
Yan Suni, meanwhile, ate her salad in small bites, like how a cat would eat.
By the time Ning Shu finished one of her steaks, Yan Suni hadn’t even made a dent in her salad.
Ning Shu pushed her empty plate aside and started to eat her second serving of steak. She glanced at An Xuchen while she did so.
What did An Xuchen care about?
Money, status, power, or beauty?
Ning Shu glanced back at the beauty, Yan Suni. If all of these things were stripped away from An Xuchen, how miserable would he be?
Ning Shu suddenly put her knife and fork down. She said to An Xuchen, “An Xuchen, can you and Yan Suni break up? Please respect our marriage. I’ll do my duty as a wife, so please do your duty as a husband.”
Yan Suni and An Xuchen both froze for a moment. Displeased, Yan Suni responded by saying, “Jingjing, why are you bringing this up again? Didn’t you say that you won’t kick up a fuss? No one is trying to destroy your marriage.”
Ning Shu glanced at An Xuchen. The original host was willing to act so extremely and cheat to get back at An Xuchen. This fact showed that deep in her heart, she had loved An Xuchen.
“An Xuchen, will you break up with her?” Ning Shu asked again as she turned towards him.
An Xuchen put his knife and fork down, then said indifferently, “I only married you out of necessity in the first place. I already gave you a marriage, so don’t even think about asking anything else from me.”
Ning Shu: …
Ning Shu shrugged. She already expected this result.
He only married her out of necessity?
Who the hell held him at knifepoint and forced him to marry her?
Yet the two of them were looking at her as though she was the unreasonable one here.
Oh, her view of the world…
“Have you ever loved me?” Ning Shu asked An Xuchen. The original host, Xue Jing, had cared about him so much. Even if his heart was made out of ice, surely it had melted a little.
“As I’ve told you, I can’t give you anything besides the marriage,” An Xuchen said. “And who are you to talk about love? You completely refused to help me when I was going through a hard time.”
Just because she refused to put her house on the line as collateral, she was heartless?
Could it be that she was supposed to be mindlessly obedient to him? It wasn’t as if An Xuchen had a nice plan for her.
Even if she did what he asked, she’d only end up deeply in debt and he’d still divorce her eventually.
Yet now An Xuchen was yapping about her not helping him!
