He knelt on the ground, his voice choked with emotion. “Li Li…”
A wave of bitterness surged within me.
To be honest, I never expected He Li Yan to kneel and plead with me.
He had never done anything like this before.
But now, he was on his knees, begging.
This meant he truly didn’t want a divorce.
Yet I was resolute; I didn’t want to continue this marriage.
This marriage had brought me nothing but pain.
I wanted out.
I pulled my hand away and placed the divorce agreement on the coffee table.
“I can cooperate with you to clarify this scandal.”
I looked at He Li Yan. “We can publicly state that the divorce agreement was signed a year ago.”
“I will sever all ties with Xu Jiasheng.” I met He Li Yan’s gaze.
“I will do my utmost to help you navigate through this crisis.”
“But…” I continued, looking directly at him, “if Mr. He remains unwilling to divorce, then there’s nothing more I can do.”
“At that point, the fact of infidelity during our marriage will be made public.”
I looked at He Li Yan. “This will severely impact Mr. He’s reputation and the standing of the He family.”
In the end, He Li Yan signed the divorce agreement.
We met at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
He Li Yan looked disheveled.
His face was pale, and his expression was dull.
He seemed like he hadn't slept for days.
He looked at me, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Li Li..."
I gazed back at him calmly.
Inside, however, I was in turmoil.
To be honest, I never expected He Li Yan to be in such pain.
After all, he was famously a playboy.
When he proposed to me back then, everyone found it unbelievable.
Everyone thought that someone like He Li Yan would never settle down.
I thought it was unbelievable too.
I once believed I would be the special one for him.
I thought He Li Yan truly loved me.
But now I realize that He Li Yan was just accustomed to freedom.
He couldn't stand being restrained, which led him to cheat.
He couldn't handle marriage, so he was unwilling to divorce.
But now he had no choice but to get a divorce.
Because I insisted on it.
And also because his little troublemaker had gone too far.
The He Family was currently busy dealing with Old Master He's illness and had no time to address He Li Yan's scandal.
Thus, He Li Yan had to sign the divorce agreement.
With red-rimmed eyes, He Li Yan looked at me and said, "Li Li..."
I calmly gazed back at him. "Take good care of yourself from now on."
He Li Yan seemed to be struck by a heavy blow.
He staggered back a few steps and then collapsed onto the ground.
Sitting there like a child, he began to cry uncontrollably.
"Li Li..." he sobbed, calling my name. "I was wrong!"
I watched him quietly.
To be honest, I really didn't expect He Li Yan to cry.
After all, he was the esteemed young master of the He Family.
And now he was crying.
I couldn't help but let out a sigh. "He Li Yan..."
He Li Yan sat on the ground, his eyes swollen from tears. "Li Li, I truly was wrong!"
"I thought my love for you was enough to make you forgive all my mistakes."
He choked out, "I thought if I treated you a little better, you would stay with me."
"But I didn't expect..." His voice was hoarse. "I was wrong!"
I looked at him, a hint of relief in my eyes. "He Li Yan, no one is a saint."
"I make mistakes too." I gazed at him. "But I cannot tolerate you being with another woman."
"That's the bottom line." After saying this, I turned to leave.
He Li Yan got up from the ground, stumbling as he followed me. "Li Li..."
I paused and turned back to him. "He Li Yan, if I'm not mistaken, you want to ask me if I would still divorce you if Xu Jiasheng wasn't in the picture."
He Li Yan froze, staring at me.
I sighed softly. "The day I discovered your infidelity, I should have divorced you then."
