Qie Wang was stunned when Yan Shanyue first brought up the topic of divorce.

Even up until now, he was still in a daze. His world came crashing down without any notice.

It took him a while to realize that throughout their marriage, he was always the one receiving. He had never done anything for her. He never fulfilled his duties as a husband or a father.

His wife had tolerated him all those years and now she had decided that she had enough.

He had not done enough in their marriage.

“Shanyue, I’m sorry.”

Li Zhiwei could only apologize, but she didn’t realize how empty it sounded.

It wasn’t enough to save their marriage. Now that their divorce was finalized, they could never get back together again.

“Let’s go, Zhiwei.”

Qie Wang brought Li Zhiwei out of the room. Both of them were silent. They used to be very close and could talk about anything under the sun, but they now had nothing to say to each other.

“Qie Wang, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. If not for me, you wouldn’t have gotten a divorce.”

Qie Wang sighed. “Zhiwei, Shanyue is right. She already made it very clear that it’s my fault, not yours.”

Everything was his fault. He had never made his stand clear as a married man.

“Qie Wang, I’m leaving the country with my father. Thank you for taking care of me all these years. After what had happened, I also realized that I shouldn’t depend on anyone. I should only depend on myself. Qie Wang, can I give you a farewell hug?”

Qie Wang shook his head.

“No, Zhiwei, I’m sorry. I cannot make any more mistakes.”

“Qie Wang, goodbye.”

Li Zhiwei was heartbroken when Qie Wang rejected her. She knew very well that she could not stay in the capital anymore. There was no one else she could turn to in the future. The best thing for her to do now was to leave the capital, the place where she had spent half her life.

“Zhiwei, take care of yourself, wherever you may go.”

Li Zhiwei nodded.

Biting his lips, Qie Wang watched sorrowfully as Li Zhiwei walked off.

From now on, they would live separate lives from each other.

“Are you trying to scare me to death?”

Qie Wang turned around and saw Qie Yiyan, which shocked him.

“Dad, if you really like Li Zhiwei, go after her. Wenyang and I won’t object to it.”

“What are you talking about?”

Qie Wang had never thought of it this way. How could he marry Li Zhiwei? He always treated her as a little sister. In the end, he took care of his little sister so well that he forgot about his family.

“I’m serious, Dad. If Mom meets another man in the future, I would also give them my blessing.”

Qie Yiyan suddenly realized that he should go to the temple to ask for blessings over the new year. All three men in his family were unlucky with women.

“If you want to date other women, go ahead. Don’t get funny ideas about your mom. I’m warning you to watch over her. Don’t let anyone take her away. I’ll get her back one day.”

“Dad, you just regained your freedom. Why are you still thinking about Mom? There are so many pretty girls around. Just go with one of them. I don’t mind a younger stepmother. Mom has finally found her freedom. Why don’t you just let her go?”

“Get lost!”

Qie Wang kicked Qie Yiyan in the shin.
