Gu Ruochu was tired of putting her trust in Huo Nanchen. Any woman would be heartbroken if she heard that her husband had gotten into an accident with another woman in the middle of the night.
When she thought about it, Gu Ruochu felt as if the nerve in her brain had been crushed.
She could not take it anymore.
She had been lying to herself by wanting to give their relationship a chance. Every time she tried, reality would always hit her coldly and mercilessly.
Although choosing to leave him was a difficult choice, Gu Ruochu knew that it was the right one.
She looked into the distance and forcefully suppressed her tears. She vowed to herself that she would never cry because of a man ever again.
"Why don't you want me to care? You're my wife."
Gu Ruochu was amused by Huo Nanchen's question.
After she had chosen to believe him that night, he had gone and broken her trust by involving himself with Ning Tangxi.
Gu Ruochu laughed out loudly, which made Huo Nanchen's expression turn ugly. The feeling of powerlessness made him speechless, but he still held her hand tightly.
It was as if he would lose her if he let go of her hand.
She had said that she didn't want him anymore.
Huo Nanchen was still shocked by her cold attitude.
"Huo Nanchen, from the moment I signed the divorce agreement, everything between us ended. Whether you admit it or not, you're already a prospective ex-husband.
"You should leave!"
"You're wrong! As long as I don't sign the divorce agreement, you will still be my wife." Huo Nanchen was sure that he would never sign the divorce papers.
Gu Ruochu wanted to leave, but he pressed her against the wall, and she was unable to move. He looked into her eyes while at the same time trying to suppress his emotions.
Gu Ruochu turned her face away from his warm breath.
"Gu Ruochu, didn't you agree that you would wait until I found Yue Cheng before deciding on the fate of our relationship? Why do you want to leave before I've even found him?"
Gu Ruochu remembered the promise that she had made to him.
She felt a little guilty and averted her gaze.
"Yes. I admit that I said that. However, you have repeatedly broken your promises. It's not a big deal if I finally break one of my promises, is it?"
Gu Ruochu was sure that he would not refute her claims.
Gu Ruochu turned around and left Huo Nanchen in a daze. However, Huo Nanchen quickly went after her and hugged her tightly.
"Ruochu, I miss you so much! I really miss you! Don't you miss me at all?"
There was a faint smell of cigarettes on Huo Nanchen's body. His fingers brushed her long hair aside, and she could not move at all. In that instant, Gu Ruochu's heart felt as if it was being torn apart.
They had not been together for the past few weeks.
However, during that period, he had been taking care of Ning Tangxi at the hospital. Gu Ruochu tilted her head slightly and bumped into his eyes.
"Huo Nanchen, don't you feel guilty when you say that you miss me?" Gu Ruochu looked at him and trembled in anger. "You haven't seen me for more than a week. You haven't called me. I didn't even know where you spent your nights. As time passed, I almost thought that I was dreaming.
"Even after I heard about the scandal between you and Ning Tangxi, you only sent Li Tezhu to come over and comfort me by giving me a few empty and useless words. Huo Nanchen, stop lying to yourself. If you don't love me, you shouldn't pretend anymore!" Gu Ruochu sighed deeply and continued sorrowfully, "You said that you would let me go after I proved that you didn't love me. Isn't this proof enough that you don't!"
Huo Nanchen's face turned pale. The pain from his injuries could not compare to the pain in his heart.
