But I knew that what Quan Shaoze said was true.
This time, I crumpled to the ground after not being able to grab on to anything in time.
I also didn’t care what Quan Shaoze would think of me; I simply sat on the ground and cried hugging my knees. I felt cold all over and couldn’t stop trembling.
Why, why was this happening!
I had thought that Zhao Dong was just cheating.
But it turned out that our marriage was just something premeditated by him!
Suddenly, the despair in my heart made me wonder how much pain I still had to bear!
I didn’t see Quan Shaoze’s cold and indecipherable eyes that were on me when I was crying.
I only heard him give me two options in a cold voice-either I continue to be with Zhao Dong and pay the debts, or I divorce Zhao Dong and he would help pay off the debts.
As long as I agreed to what he asked for.
I gradually stopped crying and looked up into his cold eyes, but the despair that filled my heart suddenly became more intense.
There wasn’t much difference between these two options, and the one suffering would just be me.
I was filled with despair and sorrow completely overlooking the warmth behind Quan Shaoze’s cold eyes.
So much so that I regretted it time and again in the future.
If only I had been more attentive or asked a few more questions.
Would everything after that have been different?
But there was no room for if only.
I chose the second option, which was to divorce Zhao Dong and have Quan Shaoze help me pay off the debts.
“I will pay you back someday.” I stubbornly refused to let him pay for my debts and stated clearly to him that I was just borrowing from him.
He sneered right away, which made me feel uncomfortable all over. However, I also braced myself in preparation of facing Zhao Dong next.
“Just do me a favor.” In the end, I wiped away my tears and made up my mind as I fixed my stare on Quan Shaoze.
The next day-
I came to a cafe with Quan Shaoze, and Zhao Dong was already waiting there. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Quan Shaoze, but he didn’t forget his purpose and said with a smile that he would give me funding if I had difficulties in the future.
But I cut him off, “There’s no need for that. I’ve found myself a rich man and I don’t care about your money.”
I said indifferently before signing my name decisively on the divorce papers he brought.
Then, I saw Zhao Dong’s expression change suddenly, and he told us he needed to use the bathroom with a forced smile.
Looking at his seemingly displeased receding figure, I felt unprecedented carefreeness and took a sip of coffee happily. Not seeing him come out after a long while, I went to the bathroom too.
However, I had just reached the door when I heard Zhao Dong’s voice-he seemed to have contacted someone.
I was somewhat confused and got a little suspicious, but I didn’t think much about it and went back with Quan Shaoze after using the bathroom.
Quan Shaoze resolutely paid off the 200-million-yuan debt for me that day.
I could finally ease up, so I took the initiative to look for Quan Shaoze and told him that the child would go to Quan Jinnian after he was born.
And the two of us would have nothing to do with each other after that.
I left after I finished my words.
I had failed to notice the mixed emotions as well as the subtle loneliness in his eyes when I turned and left.
Despite what I had said, I dreamt of Quan Shaoze out of the blue that night and woke up with a start.
I began to fret for some unknown reason.
Why did I dream of him?
