CHAPTER 48: 48. HOW DID WE LOSE OUR MARRIAGE?

Shi Nian turned back in shock: "Sir, it seems we’re not close enough for you to need to help me like this."

Tang Yanqing had to carefully hide his worry—such a Xiang Yuan, who knows what he will do to her tonight.

"I mean... your state today makes me worry about you going back to face your husband."

Shi Nian forced a smile: "But what’s to be faced must be faced. Just like you handling a case, no matter how dangerous the suspect, you have to face it, right?"

He then took a deep breath: "Remember, if there’s any danger, call the police immediately!"

"Okay." Shi Nian waved her hand, her silhouette blending into the sunlight.

.

Shi Nian entered and indeed saw Xiang Yuan’s shoes placed at the entrance. She carefully took a breath and walked inside.

Xiang Yuan was sitting on the sofa, still wearing the suit from before. The wrinkles on his collar remained unflattened, and even his disheveled hair was still the same as before.

He sat alone on the large three-seater sofa, draped in a swath of twilight, enveloped in an almost tragic atmosphere.

Shi Nian frowned: "A Yuan, are you okay?"

Xiang Yuan looked over with a long gaze: "You must hate me, right? I did such bastardly things today... and over the past two years, I’ve been doing bastardly things."

So he still knew.

Shi Nian turned her head away, forcing a smile: "There’s no point in dwelling on these things anymore. A Yuan, I hope we can part ways peacefully."

Xiang Yuan looked on, exhausted: "Do you still insist on this?"

"Yes." Shi Nian lowered her head: "I’m not doing well either... A Yuan, everything you’ve given me, and what the Xiang Family has given me over the years, I won’t forget. I’ll repay it in any way I can."

"I don’t need your repayment," Xiang Yuan’s eyes pained: "I want my wife... I said at the wedding that Xiang Yuan in this life would only marry once. But I committed an unforgivable mistake, I lost my wife."

Shi Nian lightly closed her eyes. The vows from the wedding, echoing in her ears. But in just four short years, everything had changed. She really wanted to ask, who exactly rules over the marriages of this world? Why is it that marriage is so difficult to last a lifetime?

Shi Nian took a deep breath: "At this point, if we keep forcing it, it would be unfair to you, to me, and even to... Rosa. After we part, you and Rosa can also be well together."

Xiang Yuan couldn’t help but sneer: "Rosa? What would I be with Rosa for? I don’t love her, Shi Nian, the one I love is you."

"I really want to believe you, I also have my beliefs in marriage, I also have hopes for family happiness!" Xiang Yuan not saying he loved her was still fine, but the more he said it, the more Shi Nian couldn’t take it. "A Yuan, I crossed the oceans to this unfamiliar country to become your wife, I wasn’t joking, nor was I prepared to divorce you after just four years. I wanted to be with you for life, I thought you were the one who would walk with me through the end of my life."

Shi Nian started to cry: "Especially... when my dad put my hand in yours. My dad told me to go with you, he said you would bring me happiness. My dad would never lie to me, and you also promised my dad—but why did everything change when we got to M Country? A Yuan, what is it about me that isn’t good enough, that made you, who claimed to love me and swore to bring me happiness, end up with another woman?"
