strongChapter 1127: Chapter 1127: Pleading and Retention/strong

    Shang Kaiwen awoke with a start, only to find herself lying on the bed in her bedroom at home, any slight movement bringing pain to her body.

    This wasn’t a dream; it was actually happening.

    Wang Ruo’an seemed to pounce on her the moment she woke up, his face terrifying Shang Kaiwen, causing her to sink deeply into the bedding, the pain in her back suppressed by her biting her lips hard.

    Terror was evident in her eyes, and the room was utterly silent! A silence so intense it was frightening.

    “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Darling, I lost my temper. I just love you so much, I can’t stand you looking at other men the way you do, I can’t take it. I can’t bear your attitude towards Jiang Shaoqing, I was wrong, I was wrong! I swore! I swore I would cherish you in the palm of my hands for life, I promised to spoil you like a princess. I’m sorry.

    It’s all my fault, forgive me, please? I was wrong, I swear I’ll never do it again, I promise, honey, really, okay? You can punish me however you want, just please don’t leave me.”

    Wang Ruo’an knelt humbly by Shang Kaiwen’s bedside, gripping her hand, trembling uncontrobly with guilt and remorse.

    He slowly unclenched his fist, stood up, and held her tightly in his arms. She could barely breathe, but breathing didn’t matter at the moment, she didn’t know what Wang Ruo’an intended to do.

    “Wang Ruo’an, I want a divorce.”

    Shang Kaiwen didn’t know if she would die, but she couldn’t endure this kind of life for another day.

    Wang Ruo’an was like a demon; they had been married for just one month, and these words had be so familiar they terrified her.

    “No! Darling, don’t say that, I can’t lose you! I’ll die without you, you know that. I made a mistake, I will change, really, this won’t happen again, forgive me this once, truly forgive me.”

    The sweet words that had once moved her now sent a chill to her bones.

    Wang Ruo’an was a madman, it was already the third time, and each time after beating her, he would say the same things, saying how much he regretted hurting her, repeatedly iming how much he loved her, that he couldn’t live without her.

    Yet it kept happening, three times in just a month of marriage.

    She couldn’t imagine how she would continue in the future.

    It was an endless nightmare she could envision.

    When she spoke, her lips were so stiff she could hardly utter a word.

    “Please don’t disturb me. I don’t want to talk to you. I want a divorce, I want a divorce from you.”

    “Darling, you don’t really mean to ignore me, you know I love you. No one has ever loved you like I do.”

    “I want a divorce.” She forced out a sentence.

    “Why are you talking about divorce?”

    “Wang Ruo’an, I can’t keep living with you! I can’t endure this kind of life. I want a divorce, I want a divorce. If you don’t divorce me, I’ll take evidence of you hitting me out. I still have injuries on me, even the police would be able to verify, you can’t stop it.

    Wang Ruo’an, let me go!”

    At that moment, Shang Kaiwenpletely forgot her original purpose for marrying Wang Ruo’an, any considerations of the Shang Family, reputation, or status. All she wanted was to leave. She did not realize a month of married life would be such a nightmare. If someone’s love could instill such fear, she’d rather never have married Wang Ruo’an.

    Now Shang Kaiwen was just a simple girl, her ambitions for her career and family already dissipated. Compared to her own suffering, she really wanted to back down, she couldn’t handle it; this was not something she could endure by gritting her teeth.

    It’s only been a month.

    If the long years ahead were filled with days like this, she’d rather have nothing.

    The Shang Family had nothing to do with her; her own money was enough to spend, nothing else mattered, she wanted nothing, as long as she could leave.

    Wang Ruo’an held onto her hand, and even if she tried hard to pull it back, it was to no avail. He gently rubbed her wrist and palm, yet it touched a wound deep in her heart, “Darling, you won’t divorce me, you’re just very angry now. It truly was a mistake. I didn’t want to hit you, it’s just the way you looked at Jiang Shaoqing made me really angry, and I lost control for a moment. See, I’ve alreadye back to my senses, we will be fine, happy and joyful as long as you don’t look at him like that again.

    You know howughable your words are. Since you chose to marry me, you can’t just divorce at will. Firstly, if your father finds out! My father-inw would definitely not agree, the Shang Family has just gotten on the right track, and our funds have just been in ce. If you divorce now, it would be forcing me to go against the Shang Corporation, I would drive the Shang Corporation bankrupt, leaving you with nothing. I’d also send your father to prison.

    As for my father-inw, with all the ounts he’s done these years, just the tax evasion and avoidance alone is enough for several years in prison, and you? After the divorce, you’d have nothing, not even Shang Corporation, your savings wouldn’t even be enough to buy a few outfits and bags.

    Are you willing to work like an ordinary person, struggling to pay the rent, toil daily, only to end up with such little money? Watching others live the life you used to have, while you could only envy without affording it?

    Kaiwen, I’m not trying to scare you, we both know what we want. I want you, and you want the backing and background of the Wang Family. As long as I don’t want a divorce, you won’t be able to get one. Your evidence has to be usable, for instance, now, while you’re in this room with not a single scar healed, you can’t leave, nobody knows what happened yesterday, they only know the boss’s wife fainted.

    Kaiwen, obey, I will change, believe me, I really love you too much. Really, a man who loves you this much, making a small mistake, you should forgive me, right?”

    She gritted her teeth, but didn’t cry.

    After hearing Wang Ruo’an’s words, her eyes were dry because she couldn’t waste time and energy on useless tears.

    No matter what, Wang Ruo’an wouldn’t let her leave, that’s a fact, even if she died here, no one would care.

    Because no one knew at all.

    Death wasn’t terrifying, what was terrifying was how one died.

    “I want to see my father.”

    Wang Ruo’an gently stroked her hair, although she didn’t avoid him, her entire body was tense, not knowing when Wang Ruo’an might explode again, Shang Kaiwen was on edge.

    “Alright, you want to see him, I will definitely let hime to see you. Now you rest calmly, I’ll make a call! When you wake up, you’ll be able to see your father. I know you’re unwilling, rest assured, I will let him meet you, you’ll understand I’m not wrong.”

    Like treating a most cherished lover, yet it made Shang Kaiwen shiver.
