âSpecial pardon...â Huo Chen stared at her with unblinking eyes. âYou got what you wanted, so now you donât care for our marriage anymore?â
Perhaps he should never have requested the pardon from the commander for her.
Wen He looked at him in confusion, unable to comprehend the rage he was showing.
She had forced him into the marriage at first. In those early days, he never stopped trying to end their relationship.
Finally, he got his wish and yet he looked so angry. She struggled to understand his thought process.
âThatâs right!â
She gave up trying to understand him and simply nodded.
Huo Chen clenched his fists and crumpled the divorce papers in his hands.
Wen He noticed and said, âDonât ruin them. Take the papers back with you and sign them. If there are any procedures that require me to be there, just call me. I have somewhere else to be now, later!â
âWen He!â
Abruptly, Huo Chen called out to her.
Wen He turned around in puzzlement and saw that Huo Chen was on the verge of an outburst.
The man smiled coldly at her and raised his arms. She watched as he tore the divorce papers into shreds and tossed them into the air!
The paper shreds fluttered in the air like snowflakes.
âI say no to our divorce!â
He spoke haltingly through gritted teeth.
Wen He frowned and got riled up as well.
âWhat do you want, exactly? Donât forget that you promised you will respect my decisions, are you breaking your promise now?!â
The fury in Huo Chenâs eyes receded as he came to his senses.
âI am not.â
If this was what she wanted, he should respect her decision.
âThen good.â Wen He felt better and simply glared at him, âI will prepare another set of divorce papers and ask Lu Bai to pass them to you. You will sign them as soon as possible, and then we will be free of each other, free to love another!â
Free of each other.
Those four words landed like deathly blows to his heart.
He shuddered inside at the pain and could not figure out why he felt so terrible.
Nevertheless, it was not the time to contemplate on his feelings yet. His hand reached out to hold onto her before he could think and he pulled her into his arms. He looked down at her and leaned closer and closer.
ââFree to love anotherâ, you say. Who will you love?â
â...â
Was that his concern?
Heâs driving me nuts!
She felt that Huo Chen looked like a completely different person. Before this, he was always eerily calm and never showed any emotions. The man was as cool as a cucumber.
Recently, however, he had forced a kiss on her and even pulled her into a hug again and again.
She wanted to open up his skull and figure out what was going on inside!
âAnd how is that your business?â
Wen He looked away to avoid feeling his warm breath.
âI...â
Huo Chen could not answer her. He noticed the shreds of paper on the ground and then looked sharply at her. âIn any case, you are still my wife now.â
âWe are getting a divorce soon!â
âAs long as I disagree with it, itâs not happening!â Huo Chen put an arm around her waist and tugged at her. âCome with me!â
âHuo Chen!â
Wen He was on the verge of erupting in anger. She thought she had made it clear that they were not an item anymore.
âSir, your appointment is here.â
Song Shou said as he made a light jog toward his superior, but was surprised to see a tall woman struggling in the major generalâs arms. His superior, on the other hand, refused to let her go.
