“Yes, Xu Yanxi has always held a place in his heart,” Lin Wan calmly stated. Her expression and eyes remained devoid of emotion.
Upon observing Lin Wan, Lu Hao was unsure of how to proceed. After a moment’s thought, he inquired, “Wanwan, how did you end up marrying Yichen?”
As he posed this question, Lu Hao’s heart pained. It was a deeply agonizing experience.
The girl he loved was now married. Worse, she was married to his close friend. He still found it difficult to accept this reality.
Lin Wan shared the details of her encounter with Xiao Yichen and the reasons behind their marriage.
“So, there were no romantic feelings between you two when you married?” Lu Hao asked in surprise.
If Wanwan and Xiao Yichen’s marriage lacked romantic attachment, it would increase his chances of confessing his feelings to her.
“Yes,” Lin Wan affirmed. Upon reflecting on the past, Lin Wan couldn’t help but vocalize her thoughts. “Lu Hao, I want a divorce. I want to leave him.”
What Lin Wan said next surprised Lu Hao, who was about to confess his feelings. He stared at Lin Wan in shock.
Lin Wan was unaware of Lu Hao’s astonishment and continued, “But I’ve already asked for a divorce, and he didn’t agree. So, if he refuses, I’ll insist on leaving.”
She had been acutely aware of Xu Yanxi’s place in Xiao Yichen’s heart for so long. Today, she had witnessed it firsthand. There was no longer any reason for her to remain in Blue Bay villa. There was no longer any reason to stay by his side.
“Wanwan…” Lu Hao came back to his surprise and asked, “Have you truly decided to leave?”
“Yes. I’m worn out from living like this day after day.” Lin Wan firmly nodded.
“I’m exhausted both physically and mentally, living with someone who doesn’t love me and the woman he loves. I want to leave. I want to live alone in a quiet place.” Lin Wan admitted, her tears welling up.
“Can I accompany you?” Lu Hao suddenly declared, gazing at Lin Wan with earnestness.
Lin Wan was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Lu Hao to make such an offer. She stared at him in astonishment.
Without warning, Lu Hao reached out and clasped Lin Wan’s hand, asserting, “Wanwan, I’m serious. I want to accompany you and be by your side.”
As she stared at Lu Hao, Lin Wan sensed that he wasn’t making this offer merely due to their childhood friendship.
“If you come with me, what about your job?” Lin Wan inquired about Lu Hao.
“Which country would you like to go to? Just tell me, and I’ll have my family arrange a job transfer,” Lu Hao quickly responded. He elaborated, “Wanwan, my family has a military background. My grandfather and father hold military positions. They can make things happen, so arranging a job transfer won’t be difficult.”
Upon hearing Lu Hao’s words, Lin Wan nodded to signify her understanding.
Back when they both lived in the alley, it was Lu Hao and his mother who resided there as well. At the time, Lu Hao’s father held a relatively low-ranking military position and couldn’t bring his family to the military area. Lin Wan was familiar with their family background to some extent.
“Then I’ll let you know once I’ve decided,” Lin Wan stated.
She had already contemplated divorcing and leaving. Today’s events had only reinforced her determination and bolstered her courage. With Lu Hao wanting to accompany her, she needed to consider her next steps..
