Chapter 5

Nie Feng kept watching him enter the house before finally turning his head to look at me. His brows were tightly furrowed and never relaxed. He asked me in deep confusion, “I don’t understand, Erhuai. Since college, my dream has always been to marry you and have a child. Now that dream has come true, but…”

He stopped. I knew what he hadn’t said, but why was the reality eight years later so different from what he had imagined back then?

He had married me as he wished, but I was extremely cold to him, and even our child was distant and estranged from him as a father.

He tried hard to think and recall, but the blood clot pressing on his brain nerves stopped him.

He furrowed his brows even tighter, probably because his head was throbbing with pain again. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples forcefully, then looked up at me, his eyes filled with sorrow, like a stray dog abandoned on the street, with genuine confusion in his gaze.

He asked me painfully, “Erhuai, I really don’t understand, how did we end up like this?”

“I looked at the divorce agreement. They all said it was me who personally instructed them to draft it. Every clause is harsh and merciless. I don’t understand, why would I want to divorce you?”

Why?

Because eight years ago, Nie Feng’s greatest dream was to marry me.

But eight years later, Nie Feng’s greatest dream was to figure out how to persuade me to divorce him, then marry Gu Xiaoyan and give her a rightful status.
