Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
She came out from Lan Ting Garden and returned to Lan Ting Garden in the company of a man… So, if what the person hinted at is true, either she married a rich man or has become someone…
Qin Yinan had a hard time placing the term ‘someone’s mistress’ on Cheng Qingchong. He’d rather imagine her as someone else’s wife than see her in a shameful position like this.
Regardless, she had moved on, but what about him?
Qin Yinan’s eyes were incredibly bloodshot from the lack of sleep. His eyes that looked at the rising sun out the window wavered. He was like a statue. Even the expression on his face didn’t twitch in the slightest. He stayed in this state for a long time before pulling back his gaze, starting his car, and leaving.
After the conference, Qin Yinan didn’t stay in Shanghai. He went to the airport, got on a plane, and returned to Beijing. When he arrived, it was already 7 pm. After he got into the prepared car, the driver asked him where he wanted to go. Surrounded by the city’s glittering neon lights, there was only one answer in his mind. “Home.”
When he arrived, Qin Yinan changed his shoes and went straight into the study. He pulled open his drawer to touch the velvet box and the divorce certificate before his fingers fell on the folded piece of white paper.
He opened it, and staring at the ‘Yinan’ and ‘I’m sorry’ that filled up the page, his eyes burned uncontrollably.
He used his fingers to gently caress her handwriting, and they brushed over the question ‘If I admit to you every bad things that I’ve done to you, will you forgive me? Yes or no?’ A single tear slowly fell from his eye, trailed down his jaw, and fell on the paper, blurring the black ink.
He had forgiven her. He didn’t blame her anymore, but she had already moved on.
He must have hurt her deeply, and that was why she had searched for another man to rely on.
But about him? It was his desire to spend the rest of his life with her—he spent two months looking for her—and this was the result he got? How was he going to accept it? Would he eventually move on like her and start a new life?
Qin Yinan’s hands that held the paper shook greatly. His body quivered with weakness, and he collapsed onto the chair. He raised his hands to cover his face, and fat tears slipped through the s.p.a.ce between his fingers.
In the quiet room, Qin Yinan was reminded of the first year he was married to Cheng Qingchong.
After they got through the initial awkward period, she had revealed her many wishes for the future. She had said, after the fridge broke down, she wanted to get a bigger one, one with double doors because they both loved to cook. She had even said, when they renovated the place in the future, she would get a big bathtub so that she could take a comfortable bath every day. Also, she wanted a big desk for the study so that she would have some s.p.a.ce at the desk as well.
Not long ago, when he signed a lucrative contract, he had been thinking, after he found her, he would bring her to purchase a large bungalow and make all her wishes a reality.
However, in the blink of an eye, all those wishes had become part of history. Their relations.h.i.+p had experienced an irrevocable and unsalvageable change.
