Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“If, according to your imagination, after being married for so many years, I suddenly tell you that 1 like someone else, what would you do?”
“Breakup,” Lin Xiaowan replied. In her mind, there was only one answer.
“I said after being married…” Huo Zheng emphasized the word ‘married’.
“Get a divorce,” Lin Xiaowan said weakly.
It was not good to bring up the past, but at this moment, Lin Xiaowan could not help but think about her previous life. Although she knew that everything that happened in her previous life was just a misunderstanding, she still could not help thinking about it.
If Huo Zheng and Song Zhiyi were really together, if she was not hit by a car, if Huo Zheng really asked for a divorce…
Thinking about it, Lin Xiaowan thought that she really divorce him and returned to her hometown to spend the rest of her life alone.
Huo Zheng was very dissatisfied with her answer. He gritted his teeth and said, “Very well.”
Perhaps he did not restrain or his expression was a little unsightly, Lin Xiaowan patted the back of his hand and said, “You’re a little fierce now.”
Huo Zheng was stunned. When he recovered, he held her hand gently and said, “I’m sorry.”
Then, he asked another question. This time, in a softer tone. “What if 1 refuse to give you anything after the divorce, and you have to leave with nothing?”
Lin Xiaowan thought about her question. Although it was hypothetical, she still felt sad when she thought about it. After a moment, she replied, “It’s fine. After all, it’s all your money.��
The house, the car, and the money all belonged to Huo Zheng in the first place. It was quite understandable if he did not want to give her anything.
Huo Zheng did not expect that Lin Xiaowan would be so calm and accepting. It was as though it was a matter of course that she did not receive anything. He could not help but say, “Qingqing, you can’t think that way. How can you accept it just like that? If you were penniless and jobless, have you ever thought about what would happen?”
Lin Xiaowan mulled over his words seriously. If she was penniless and jobless after being abandoned, what would she do? Perhaps, she should find a job first. Could she be a dishwasher? Or perhaps she could look for a part-time job? In short, it did not matter what job it was as long as she could earn money. As for where to stay, would accommodation be provided for temporary workers? Perhaps, she could temporarily live in a shelter? When she saved enough money, she would return to her hometown. However, there was nowhere else for her to go even if she returned to her hometown; she did not even have a home there. She was an unwanted child after all.
Nearing the end of her thoughts, her eyes turned red. She could accept being penniless. After all, as long as she was willing, she would be able to find a job to support herself. She could also accept not having a place to say. After all, she could sleep anywhere. However, what she could not accept was being alone again. She would return to being lonely and helpless, living her life shrouded in a cloud of fog. The world was so big, but no one wanted her. It would just be like the first twenty-one years of her life; no one wanted her.
Thinking about this, tears welled up in Lin Xiaowan’s eyes. She widened her eyes to stop her tears from falling, but she failed miserably. It was as though she could already feel the loneliness. She was extremely sad.
Lin Xiaowan’s head was lowered so Huo Zheng could not see her expression. However, when he saw her heavy breathing, he could tell that something was wrong. He ignored her resistance and made her raise her head. When he saw her face was wet with tears, his heart ached. He pulled her into his arms and said gently, “Alright, alright, 1 won’t talk about this anymore.”
He sighed and continued to say, “None of that would happen. 1 love you very much.”
Huo Zheng was rarely so straightforward. As such, she cried even harder when she heard those words.
No matter what, the world would continue spinning, and the sun would continue to rise. However, Lin Xiaowan felt that she really could not go on without Huo Zheng.
Huo Zheng felt that he had made her cry so he continued to coax her gently. He thought she was crying because of what he had said. He said, “Don’t be angry. I was wrong, okay?”
Lin Xiaowan was emotional, but she calmed down very quickly. She sniffed and said with teary eyes, “I’m not angry. It’s just that… If you don’t want me, then 1’11 be alone. No one wants me. 1,1 just felt a little sad when I thought about that.”
Huo Zheng’s breathing hitched slightly, and his heart softened.
‘Why is this girl so lovable?’
