For the first time, Han Yuheng discovered that his wife had become so indifferent to him. It was as if she was looking at a stranger instead of her husband.
Entering the bedroom, Bai Luyun fed her son some breast milk and then put him on the Kang bed. Then, she took out a piece of fabric and her clothes from the cabinet. She wrapped her and her son’s belongings in cloth and tied them up.
After that, she hugged her son and left the room with the baggage on her back. When she came out of the bedroom, she saw her husband sitting in the living room, lost in thought.
When he heard the door open, Han Yuheng raised his head and saw his wife carrying a bag of clothes. Seeing this, he stood up from his seat and walked towards her in several large strides.
He held his wife’s wrist and asked anxiously, "Wife, where are you going?"
This time, Bai Luyun did not avoid his touch and allowed him to hold her hand. She raised her head, looked at him and said calmly, "I’m going back to my parents’ house."
Before Han Yuheng could react, she added, "Yuheng, let’s get a divorce. I don’t want to stay with you anymore. Since you hate me and I no longer love you, we should let each other go."
Han Yuheng opened his eyes wide in shock, looked at his wife in disbelief, and asked, "Wife, you… what did you say?"
Bai Luyun took a deep breath and said firmly, "Yuheng, let’s get a divorce."
As soon as she finished speaking, Han Yuheng tightened his grip and said through gritted teeth, "I will never agree to this divorce. Bai Luyun, you will live as my wife and die as my wife. Don’t even think about the divorce!"
Bai Luyun’s wrist hurt and she hissed. Hearing his wife’s hiss, Han Yuheng quickly lessened his grip, but refused to let go of her.
He looked her in the eyes and said, "You promised me that you would stay with me until death do us part. Have you forgotten?"
Hearing his words, Bai Luyun laughed softly but tears flowed from the corners of her eyes when she asked him, "Yuheng, what’s the point of me staying by your side? You obviously never love or care about me or our children."
Before he could say anything, she added, "Even if I didn’t keep my promise, you have no right to blame me. The one who didn’t keep our promise is you. The moment you have an extramarital affair with those women, you already lose the right to demand anything from me."
"You… know about it?" he asked her.
Bai Luyun let out a self-deprecating laugh and said, "I knew it a long time ago, but I just refuse to believe it. I kept lying to myself that you were just temporarily lost and would come back to me soon."
She pulled her hand away from her husband and added, "Yuheng, I have been waiting for you for so many years, but not only did you not come back to me, you... you even told Sheng Xiaohong about our husband and wife’s matter as you are pressing her under your body."
