Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
God knew that she wanted to just nod and say yes.
But she could not.
“Huo Chen, come closer.”
Huo Chen did as she asked. Then, Wen He reached her arm out and pulled him closer to give him a long and sensuous kiss.
He was taken by surprise, but quickly kissed back. As the lovers were engrossed with each other, Song Shou took a few steps back and tried to blend into the background.
Soon, the kiss ended.
Suddenly, Huo Chen noticed the sorrow and hurt in her eyes and felt a wave of ill premonition. Nevertheless, he teased her and said, “It’s only been a few days, but you have become so passionate.”
“Is that right?”

He softened further and tucked a few loose strands of her hair behind the ear. When he was about to speak again, Wen He abruptly stepped back and away from him.
Then, she said something that left him greatly dismayed.
“Huo Chen, let’s break up.”
“...”
Huo Chen’s eyes widened and his face contorted. His grip on the cell bars tightened!
“Do you understand what you are saying?!”
He began to realize what was going on and shot a fierce look at Song Shou, who shuddered. “I’m sorry, sir, the commander...”
“I see.”
Huo Chen cut him off and looked at Wen He. He asked quietly, “Do you know everything?”
“Yeah.”
Wen He pursed her lips. “I do.”
She looked straight into his twinkling eyes and put on a facade to hide her feelings.
“Huo Chen, I am not trying to advise you or anything. You know exactly how important this is. Perhaps it is providence that we are destined never to be together, so let us go our separate ways. You should not ruin the rest of your life because of a woman like me.”
Instead of retorting, Huo Chen asked, “Do you remember what I said to you when I put the ring on your finger? Do you remember how you replied?”
You are never to leave my side, no matter what happens!
Yes, sir!
Wen He swallowed when she realized that he had anticipated this, but did not back down from asking her to marry him.
“I am sorry that I cannot keep that promise,” she replied hoarsely and shook her head.
“You can’t!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHuo Chen cried in a rage. Only the cell bars stopped him from going to his wife.
“I would have given up on us if that’s what I wanted. We have been through so much and finally got together, but now you are saying that you want to give up? I’m telling you, that is not happening!”
Wen He shut her eyes and said helplessly, “I have no other choice.”
She could not allow Huo Chen to lose everything because of her. That would be too selfish.
Besides, even if they could be together, he might regret his decision some time in the future. That would lead to endless arguments and regret between them.
It was better to end things now than having a stressful life together.
“Huo Chen, let me return this to you.”
Wen He took off the diamond ring from her finger and put it on the floor.
It felt like someone had wrested her heart out in that moment, for she felt so empty and cold inside.
She ignored his angry glare and turned away from him.
“Today is the last time we will ever see each other. I am sorry to say this to you again, but... please do not think of me.”
This was her fate, perhaps.
