The Six Tigers and their wives fixed their gazes on Xi Yuan, hearts taut with a blend of curiosity and unease. They trusted him—implicitly.

Xi Yuan drew in a steady breath before he spoke, his voice calm but deliberate. "The first condition," he began, "is that unless and until the court officially finalizes our divorce, it must remain private. No public statements. No press. No formal announcements—not from either side."
Rong Xinghe gave a small, thoughtful nod. It was logical. Understandable.
Xi Yuan's lips curved slightly, not in smugness but in gratitude—for her composure, for her acceptance.
