This was the only way to resolve their quandary peacefully.
“No! Chen, leave me. I don’t want to destroy your future!”
Lu Zhaoyang responded with sudden agitation. To her, that was too daring of an idea to even consider.
Huo Chen was Z Country’s youngest captain in the military. His future here was promising. If they leave the country together, what would become of his career?
All the work he had done before this would be wasted!
Huo Chen shook his head and smiled warmly, and that made Lu Zhaoyang’s heart break.
He said, “I have fulfilled my duties to my country. Now, I would like to fulfill my duties to you and you alone, do you understand?”

Lu Zhaoyang looked up, and their eyes met. In his eyes were a reflection of her.
Tear marks marred her face. She looked so pale and fragile.
“Chen, I...”
Her mother was still at the capital. How could she just leave her here?
Huo Chen knew immediately what her concern was. He patted her on the shoulder and said, “You should think about living for yourself now. With my brother by her side, Yunting cannot harm her.”
That was easy for him to say, but Lu Zhaoyang was still worried.
“Chen, you don’t have to do so much for me. I don’t deserve all this from you.”
“You are not me, so how do you know that?” Huo Chen smiled and replied with determination. “Leaving here may not be our best option, but it’s the only way to give you reprieve. I cannot stand seeing you suffer anymore.”
Someone like Huo Yunting would not allow her to get a divorce easily.
He must help her leave him once and for all.
Lu Zhaoyang wanted to escape from Huo Yunting as well. She did not want to be stuck in the Huo family affair anymore.
“Yang Yang, you’ve done all that you could. You should not have to suffer these grievances anymore. From now on, I will protect you.”
Huo Chen’s every word soothed her restless heart.
She thought back to how Huo Yunting revealed the truth so casually to Huo Chen at the rooftop, and felt hatred and great disappointment.
She never expected him to tell the whole truth.
After all, they had lived together for so long, and she had worked hard enough. She thought he would notice it all.
However... She was being too naive.

“Yang Yang, where would you like to go? How about France? I remember you said that you love the peacefulness in the countryside and the good view. It’s a romantic place, you’ll love it.”
Since she did not reply, Huo Chen continued speaking and interrupted her thoughts.
She looked at him with his bright smile and took a moment to reach her decision. Then, she smiled back at him and nodded strongly. “Alright.”
Huo Chen was overjoyed to see her agree with him. He hugged her again and danced around her jubilantly, grinning like a Cheshire cat.
“Give me a little time! I’ll make the arrangements so that nothing goes awry! For now, you —”
“I will be fine. He won’t notice a thing, don’t you worry.”
Lu Zhaoyang nodded with determination. Since she had decided to leave, she must face Huo Yunting.
Huo Chen was back, and right in front of her. Finally, she had someone to lean on again.
If they were successful, she hoped to never return here. She never want to see Huo Yunting again!
