“D*mn it!” Lu Bai was eager to draw blood. “I will kill that scoundrel!”
“Bai, calm down.”
Wen He said numbly.
“There is no changing the facts. It is only a matter of time before people find out about me. I am merely forced to make this decision earlier.”
Gu Jinzhi had been watching her quietly when he asked abruptly, “What is your decision?”
“I will leave!”
Wen He’s reply was instant. She had always been capable of being equally ruthless to herself and other people.
It was why she stubbornly rejected Huo Chen’s request for her to stay before this.
If Huo Chen had not proposed to her at that critical moment, there would have been nothing left between them to salvage.
Nevertheless, after everything that happened between them, Wen He and Huo Chen found themselves back to the starting point. In the end, she still had to leave.
Gu Jinzhi nodded in sympathy.
“Let me know if you need anything.”
“Thanks.”
Wen He looked lifeless and devoid of emotion, in contrast to her usually jolly self.
“However, that is probably unlikely. Once I prepared the divorce papers with Huo Chen, I will leave this country.”
Lu Bai frowned deeply. “Did Huo Chen agree for a divorce?”
Wen He shook her head.
“No, but the military will probably force him to.”
“…”
Lu Bai scratched his head in vexation.
Before the two men left, Gu Jinzhi patted her shoulder and said, “Do not worry, I will make him pay.”
His eyes flashed with the promise of a merciless revenge.
“Mm.”
Wen He wanted to smile, but failed.
After Lu Bai and Gu Jinzhi left, two more guests arrived at her bungalow…
It was Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Yunting.
The latter seemed thoughtful, while the former sat down beside Wen He gravely.
Lu Zhaoyang did not ask her any questions, as though she fully understood what Wen He was going through. She merely told her solemnly, “Wen He, you should trust him.”
Wen He looked at her helplessly. “I have no other choice.”
As did he.
Lu Zhaoyang pinched the area between her eyebrows and breathed a long exhale.
“Marriage requires both parties to agree to it, and the same goes for a divorce. Huo Chen is not a reckless man. Give him some time and he will find a way out of this. Your decision will not only disrupt his plans, but also make him feel disappointed for your lack of trust in him.”
When it comes to love, there is no obstacle too difficult to conquer.
One must have trust.
“I don’t care.”
Wen He’s fingers curled tightly around her sleeves. Her eyes came to live and glowed with determination.
“As long as he will be fine, I don’t care about anything else.”
“…”
Lu Zhaoyang covered her face with one hand.
She found Wen He to be a little too obstinate.
The woman was candid but also stubborn when it came to changing her opinion.
Lu Zhaoyang scratched her head not knowing how to proceed.
In the end, she said, “Wen He, everyone has their own ideas and opinions. When two people disagree, you should think about how to accommodate each other instead of shouldering all the pressure yourself. I say this from experience. If you really go on with this, even if Huo Chen is safe, and even if you found a solution to the issue of your background in future, it may be impossible for you to be together again.”
For some reason, Wen He was reminded of something Huo Chen said to her earlier.
Wen He, I’m warning you, if you do this, I will never forgive you!
“That’s okay.”
She is fine with that.
As long as he gets to have a better future.
