Chapter 433: A Parting of Ways
Wen Nuan lowered her head, slowly took a document out of her bag, and handed it to Ye Feimo. She had a faint smile on her face, trying to maintain her composure. Ye Feimo frowned, took the document, and was struck as if by lightning.
It was a divorce agreement.
Those words were like a blinding white light, stinging his eyes. His vision was momentarily blurry and dark. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
A divorce agreement?
Ye Feimo couldn’t see anything clearly except for those words and Wen Nuan’s signature, which was pressed so hard it seemed to go through the paper. This was a divorce agreement that Wen Nuan had already signed. As soon as he signed it, it would become effective.
She still wanted to get a divorce?
"Why?" Ye Feimo murmured. He looked at Wen Nuan with an expressionless face, but he couldn’t find any sign of her being reluctant. There was only indifference.
She was asking for a divorce when he was terminally ill?
She didn’t want him anymore.
Was she disgusted by him?
"I had my lawyer prepare this divorce agreement before I went to Athens. I wanted to go abroad to clear my head and deal with this when I got back, but then you were too busy, and then you were hospitalized, so it was delayed," Wen Nuan said calmly. Her eyes were as still as warm water, peaceful and clear. "Feimo, let’s get a divorce. I’ve already signed it. Our marriage was a mistake from the very beginning. I’m very grateful for your love and care this past year. No matter what, this past year was the most brilliant year of my life because of you. But our marriage has problems, so... let’s end it."
"I’m not getting a divorce," Ye Feimo said in a low voice, looking at Wen Nuan like a sharp knife. "You clearly still love me. Why are you so insistent on getting a divorce?"
"I won’t deny that I still love you," Wen Nuan said calmly, lowering her gaze. It was as if she had memorized her lines. She said slowly, "Love doesn’t always last. Many couples who love each other still end up breaking up. It’s like a game. When it’s over, you have to start over. I’m tired of being with you. Han Bi’s shadow is always there. You’re always misunderstanding my career and my life. There’s also your distrust and the time you pushed me down the stairs, and I lost our baby. I really wanted to forget all of that and start over, but unfortunately, I can’t forget. So I’m tired, very tired. I know you’re tired too. Feimo, that’s not what marriage is supposed to be like. Being happy is the most important thing. Since we’re both living so tiredly, why should we stay together? It’s better to separate and start over."
Next time, you can find a girl who is more cheerful and simpler, because a girl like that will make you happy and not annoy you so much.
"You’re not being honest," Ye Feimo said coldly. "Do you dare to look me in the eye and say all of that again?"
Wen Nuan’s heart was in excruciating pain, but she still raised her head and smiled faintly. "It’s the same no matter how many times I say it. Time is the best medicine. Slowly, we’ll both forget each other. We’re still young, and we have many opportunities ahead of us. When you loved Han Bi, didn’t you say you’d never marry anyone else? But in the end, you fell in love with someone else. When I loved Fang Liucheng, I also said I’d never marry anyone else, but in the end, I married you. No one can say what will happen in the future or who we’ll meet. Maybe we were just passing through each other’s lives, and when we think about it in the future, it’ll be enough to just look at it in our memories."
Ye Feimo’s breathing was heavy. His eyes were dark and pained. He just stared at Wen Nuan, the veins on the back of his hands bulging. He was trying to hold back something, as if he had reached his limit and was about to explode and swallow the woman who was causing him so much heartache and despair.
A divorce...
Wen Nuan wanted a divorce.
Unless he died.
As if she had read his mind, Wen Nuan scoffed. Her expression was complex. "I know what you’re thinking, Feimo. In your current condition, what can you guarantee? Who knows how many years you have left? A short pain is better than a long one. Why should I spend my time on you? Ye Feimo, I’m afraid of death and I don’t dare to face it. You can call me a coward or heartless, but since you have cancer, don’t drag me down with you."
"What did you say?" Ye Feimo’s eyes widened. He had never dreamed that she would say such a heartless thing.
She said he wouldn’t live much longer, so... she didn’t want to spend time on him?
Wen Nuan paused, quietly clenching her fists. "I’ve said everything I need to say. I hope you’ll sign it and set us both free. Goodbye."
With that, she got up and left the restaurant, leaving Ye Feimo alone. He sat there for a long, long time.
The divorce agreement in his hand was almost torn to shreds.
Wen Nuan almost ran out of the restaurant. She stumbled into a car, her voice hoarse and unable to speak. Cold tears streamed down her face. Tears flowed endlessly. Pain and despair rushed in and completely overwhelmed her.
*I’m sorry, Feimo...*
*I’m so sorry!*
She didn’t mean to say those things. She didn’t mean it.
She wanted him to live a long, happy, and healthy life more than anyone else. More than anyone else. She didn’t want to say those cruel things to hurt him. God knows that when she said those words, she stabbed Ye Feimo once but stabbed herself ten times.
She was also in so much pain.
Tears flowed down her fingers. Wen Nuan’s heart was bleeding.
Pushing him out of her life was like stabbing her own heart. It was a pain that tore her apart.
She knew that once she said the word "divorce" and said such heartless things, she would feel so much pain that she would want to die. But when it happened, she realized that the pain was ten or a hundred times worse than she had imagined.
She was in so much pain, and so was Feimo.
Why did God have to play such a cruel joke on them?
"Miss, are you okay?" the driver from her family asked with concern.
Wen Nuan held back her sobs and just shook her head. The driver didn’t know why she was crying so sadly and didn’t dare to ask anymore.
She didn’t want to go home and worry her family, so she just walked by the river.
The city lights were bright, and the night view was magnificent, but her heart was desolate.
By leaving Ye Feimo, she would never be happy again. All the happiness and joy in her life would come to an end and become a thing of the past.
When they got married, she never thought it would end.
She had been serious about spending her whole life with Ye Feimo and giving each other happiness, but unfortunately, what you want is one thing, and reality is another.
She must be a cursed woman, and happiness was too far away for her to have.
*Feimo, you must hate me so much right now.*
*You must hate me so much.*
*I hate myself too. I hate myself...*
He loved her so much in the past, and now he would hate her just as much.
