“The contract hasn’t been signed yet, so why can’t I back out?” Baird Lane asked her rhetorically.


    Christine White blinked in some panic, “Yes, the contract is not signed, but …”


    “But I just said I’m helping this vige for you.” Baird Lane interrupts her with his arms wrapped around her, “Because you’re my wife, that’s why I said I’m obligated to help this ce, but what about you, you said you’re going to divorce me, and since we’re all going to be divorced, then we don’t have a rtionship anymore, so why should I help this vige?”


    Christine White froze.


    Yeah, it’s going to be a divorce. Why is he helping here?


    “Nothing to say now?” Baird Lane looked at her with cold eyes.


    Christine White deadpanned, biting her lower lip, “What the hell do you want?”


    “As I said, my precondition for helping this vige is that you are my wife, if you are not I am not obligated to help here, do you understand when I say that?” Baird Lane said slowly as his thin lips parted.


    Christine White clenched her hand.


    She wasn’t stupid, of course she understood the meaning of his words, which was that he wouldn’t allow her to get a divorce, and once she insisted on it, he definitely wouldn’t help the vige.


    If he and the vige head had not yet talked well, he suddenly backtracked, she did not feel anything, butte iste in the vige head he had already talked well, if it is because of her, he interrupted the negotiated investment, then the vige head must be how disappointed ah, the vigers are also less of an ie …


    Now the vige has a development path with great difficulty, and she doesn’t want to let the opportunity be lost just like that, but the premise of not losing is that she doesn’t get divorced, what the hell is she supposed to do now? Should she really listen to him and break the idea of divorce?


    Just when Christine White was in a dilemma as to what to do, the vige headman pushed his way in.


    “Lane, Christine girl, the meal is ready,e over and sit.” The vige head warmly greeted.


    Baird Lane nced meaningfully at a worried Christine White, “Come on, Grandpa White is calling us.”


    Christine White stood still.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    Seeing this, Baird Lane reached for her hand.


    But before he could touch her, she shied away as if she’d seen something terrible, and her hands flew behind her back.


    Baird Lane’s hand just settles awkwardly in mid-air for a moment before he clenches his fist and withdraws it.


    The vige chief on the side could see that the atmosphere between them was off and couldn’t help but inquire, “Lane, Christine girl, did you guys have a fight?”


    “No, Grandpa White, I’ll go out and wait for you guys.” Christine White casually replied back and lifted her foot out of the hall.


    The vige chief looked at her back and finally fixed his gaze on Baird Lane, “Lane, what’s going on here? Looking at Christine’s girl, did you guys really have a falling out?”


    Baird Lane’s narrow eyes narrowed, “It’s okay,e on Grandpa White.”


    Seeing that both of them refused to say anything, the vige chief also knew that he couldn’t ask, sighed, and had to give up, “Let’s go.”


    At the dinner table, the vige headman poured two sses of wine and handed one of them to Baird Lane, “Lane ah, I’m really happy today, thank you for giving our vige a chance to get rich,e on, I’ll drink to you.”


    He raises his ss to toast Baird Lane.


    And Baird Lane is ready to return the favor.


    Seeing this scene, Christine White’s heart tightened, and without having time to think too much, she directly held Baird Lane’s hand down, preventing him from reaching for the wine ss, “Grandpa White, he can’t drink.”


    “Oh?” Murako looked at her a little confused, “Why, is Lane not going to drink?”


    “No, it’s the fact that he’s injured and all can’t drink.” Christine White shook her head to exin.


    Baird Lane’s heart softened as he watched her earnestly defend him, and his expression became much gentler.


    This woman, she’s really soft-spoken.


    All the while insisting on divorcing him, but at the same time, he’s constantly watching him.


    Doesn’t she ever get tired?


    “Is it true Lane, you’re hurt?” The Mayor looked at Baird Lane in amazement.


    Baird Lane gathered his thoughts and nodded, “Yes, still recovering from an ident a while back.”


    “So that’s how it is.” The vige chief sighed with some regret, “It’s my fault for being ill-considered and pouring the wine without asking you, so let’s do it this way, I’ll rece the wine with tea and thank you for your contribution to our vige.”


    With that, he re-poured two cups of tea.


    Baird Lane took a cup but instead of drinking it, he shoved it into Christine White’s hand, “Grandpa White, you should actually be thanking her, not me.”


    Christine White’s small mouth opened slightly in dismay, “Thank me?”


    The Mayor is also looking at Baird Lane in disbelief.


    Baird Lane smiled softly, “Yes, if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be helping this vige, that’s why I said thank you.”


    The vige headman also reacted at this time, a p on the forehead smiled andughed, “Yes, yes, yes, it is time to thank Christine girl, if it is not for her to find such a good husband as you, our vige does not have this opportunity,e Christine girl, Grandpa White toasts you.”


    “Huh?”


    “Ah what, Grandpa White is thanking you, what are you waiting for?” Baird Lane reminded as he stared at Christine White with a smirk.


    Christine White was driven into a corner and had no choice but to clink sses with the vige chief.


    It sort of dawned on her that Baird Lane did it on purpose.


    He deliberately told the vige chief that she was the one who made this investment possible today.


    In that case, she could no longer talk about divorce, and if she still insisted on divorce, he would interrupt his investment, and it would be strange if the vige chief did not feel reproachful towards her then.


    “That’s vile.” Christine White sipped her tea and darted a re at Baird Lane when the vige elder wasn’t looking.


    Baird Lane’s mouth quirked lightly, “Still divorced?”


    Christine White bit her lip and grunted without answering.


    How dare she insist on a divorce when he’s like this?


    If she still insisted, then she would be the vige’s sinner and the vigers would hate her!


    Baird Lane will Christine White and angry and aggrieved little look, the smile in his eyes more and more dense, “Grandpa White, in a moment I will go back and let people draw up the contract, probably tomorrow my people will send the contract over, at the same time, I will arrange the car toe over to load the goods.”


    “That’s really great.” The vige chief’s face turned red with excitement, “Then I’ll go and inform everyone of the good newster, so that everyone can pack up all the mountain goods from their homes and load them onto the trucks at that time.”


    “Grandpa White you arrange it just fine. ” Baird Lane put a chopstick of vegetables into Christine White’s bowl.


    Christine White’s deadpan stare at the bowl, like she was ring at him through it, was an amusing expression.


    After eating, the two of them left the vige headman’s house and headed for their own small yard.


    All the way, Christine White ignored Baird Lane and walked ahead of herself, without waiting for him.


    Baird Lane didn’t care, and walked unhurriedly after her.


    As she reached the courtyard gate, Christine White suddenly stopped and turned around, looking at the man with aplicated gaze, “Why?”


    “What for?” Baird Lane stopped as well and stood in front of her, looking down at her slightly.


    She didn’t avoid his gaze either, looking up at him graciously, “Of course it’s about the divorce, I can’t figure out why you just won’t divorce me.”


    “As I’ve told you many times, there is no precedent for divorce in The Lane Family, and I will not be that precedent.” Baird Lane replied tersely.


    Christine White took a deep breath, “If that’s the only reason, then bunch I can’t believe it, as far as I remember, you Baird Lane shouldn’t be such a disciplined person.”


    Baird Lane’s eyes twinkled a few times, “You’re right, I don’t follow the rules, but what I just said is also true, I really don’t want to be the first scion of The Lane Family to get divorced so I’m sticking to my guns on not getting divorced, other than that there’s another reason I’m not getting divorced, would you like to know?”


    He looked at her, his pupils as deep as an ancient well, as if he wanted to suck people in.
