Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Can’t Go Back to the Past Anymore
After a long while, Huo Yanzhao finally let go of her.
Yun Xuefei had already lost all strength to struggle, she leaned into his embrace, gasping heavily, her cheeks finally flushed with blood due to excitement and lack of oxygen.
“Xuefei, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…” he said hoarsely into her ear, “I know how much this has hurt you, but… but it hasn’t come to this step yet, please don’t talk about divorce, I beg you…”
Yun Xuefei suddenly remembered when they had first gotten together.
She appeared gentle but was strong-willed and opinionated inside. Huo Yanzhao’s personality was even more dominant than hers. When they first got together, they would argue almost every day.
However, he always ended up verbally outmatched, so he would always silence her this way, even throwing her directly onto the bed. After he had vented his energy in bed, he was especially easy to talk to, always taking the initiative to apologize and beg for forgiveness.
It was this tone… that softened her heart time after time.
Over five years, they had both made great changes for each other. After getting married, it was actually sweeter than when they were passionately in love… She had once been full of gratitude, but fate had played such a joke on them.
Why, why did all this have to happen…
Yun Xuefei thought hazily, how wonderful it would be if all this were just a dream.
“Yanzhao, let go of me…” she said hoarsely.
Instead of letting her go, Huo Yanzhao held her even tighter in his arms.
“Xuefei, tell me, do you still love me?” he said hoarsely, “If you no longer love me, then… I will sign this agreement. Otherwise, I will never agree to a divorce!”
“I…” Yun Xuefei trembled as she uttered a word but in the end, couldn’t continue.
It was because she still loved him that she couldn’t accept… There are so many couples in the world who choose to forgive and tolerate their partners’ affairs, continuing to live as if nothing happened, but not her, Yun Xuefei.
She knew herself so well that she was clear, it wasn’t a matter of time. Unless she suddenly lost her memory, this incident would forever be a thorn in her heart.
“Yanzhao, we can never go back to how it used to be…” she choked out, tears streaming down.
Yes, that was the fundamental reason… They could never go back to how it used to be.
Some things, once they occur, cannot be changed. Perhaps she could reluctantly accept it, but in the future life, as long as Huo Yanzhao appeared before her, she would remember this incident, ultimately torturing herself and him too… If she didn’t toughen her heart, she would eventually destroy herself and him as well.
The palm of Huo Yanzhao’s hand grew hotter.
He closed his eyes, his breath landing on her cheek: “Xuefei, I won’t divorce. This is my bottom line. If you insist on a divorce, then you only have one choice, and that is to take me to court.”
Yun Xuefei shivered gently.
“Starting today I’m moving back in,” he said with a hoarse laugh, “Right now, we’re still husband and wife, and this is still my home.”
Yun Xuefei bit her lip: “Then, I…
“You’re not allowed to move out either!” he said decisively, “Starting today, I’ll sleep in the spare room… Don’t worry, I know you don’t want to see me, so I’ll try my best not to appear in front of you.”
His voice carried a thick self-mockery.
