Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Until Death Do Us Apart (3)

But he didn’t need to speak, Huo Yanzhao had already said it first.

“Xuefei, let’s get a divorce.”

Every word resonated with definitive clarity.

Yun Xuefei was momentarily stunned, almost thinking she had hallucinated.

She lifted her head to meet Huo Yanzhao’s unfathomable eyes, and her heart suddenly sank heavily.

He was serious.

This realization made all her strength drain away.

Yun Xuefei staggered and fell into the chair. Huo Yanzhao instinctively reached out to help her, but she fiercely pushed him away.

Sadness, anger, humiliation… all these emotions surged up at once!

What was this? Even she couldn’t bring herself to say the word ‘divorce’, so why could he say it so easily? Clearly, he was the one who had erred, the one who had hurt and disappointed her time and again!

How dare he, how could he!

“Xuefei, I…” Huo Yanzhao seemed to want to explain something but ultimately he just gave a bitter smile, “If you’re unwilling…”

“I’m willing.” Yun Xuefei suddenly cut him off, the words slipping out.

After she spoke, she was dazed once again.

Once, she had also said these three words. When was it?

Right, it was when he had proposed to her…

It felt like it was just last year, so why did those sweet memories suddenly seem so ethereal and unreal?

This is good, isn’t it? From start to finish, it’s all the same three words… Good, very complete.

Yun Xuefei couldn’t help but laugh: “Why wouldn’t I be willing? I’ve even signed the agreement; why wouldn’t I be willing?”

Huo Yanzhao gazed deeply at her, his dark pupils seemingly void of any emotion.

After a long while, he smiled, his voice low and faint: “Good.”

With that word, it seemed as if all their conflicts and disagreements had finally settled to rest.

Yun Xuefei’s lips moved slightly, her eyes widened as she looked at him, still seemingly in disbelief that he had agreed so easily; yet his expression was so calm, so even, that she could find no excuse.

So this was all the love he had, merely disappearing in a matter of days because she harbored resentment, because she couldn’t forgive him, and so he gave up just like that?

Or perhaps, he had grown tired of it a long time ago?

Yun Xuefei suddenly remembered the vows he had made at their wedding.

‘Till death do us part.’

Yet, in reality, ending a relationship was so easy, devoid of excruciating pain… even if there was pain, it was mostly inflicted upon her.

Yun Xuefei almost doubted whether he had been deceiving her from the start, whether Sun Qiuran’s emergence or Mrs. Huo’s interference had actually been orchestrated by him.

But reason told her, no. Huo Yanzhao was not that kind of person. Moreover, he should know that if he truly no longer loved her and wanted a divorce, she would definitely not cling on to him.

So, what was the real reason…

Yun Xuefei wanted to ask him, but pride did not allow her to speak.

“I will go get… the agreement.” She said expressionlessly, standing up and walking towards the bookshelf.

Huo Yanzhao still did not speak but just watched her slender back, his eyes quiet and melancholic.

This was also good; he would rather she hated him. Anger and hatred could give strength, much better than her continuing to sorrow and torment herself.
