This line of interrogation was almost like a joke.

Shen Luo’an let out a chuckle and took a step forward. The sudden proximity took Ye Youyou by surprise, and she retreated instinctively.

Before Ye Youyou had any chance to react, Shen Luo’an’s hand shot out and grabbed her. Shackled in his forceful grip, her hand began to hurt.

Shen Luo’an’s eyes were penetrating. The laughter that escaped from his clenched teeth was cold. Clenching her hand tightly in his, he brought his face near to hers and spat out, “You don’t have to put on an act in front of me. You might be able to fool everyone regarding your true nature, but you’ll never be able to fool me.”

Ye Youyou’s brows clenched together as the pain from his grip shot through her. Anger coursed through her as she looked up at the face of the man that stood before her. This was her husband whom she had loved for over a decade and resented for even longer. Her breathing became heavy and erratic.

She struggled to free her hand from his grip. All he had to do was haul her toward him. It was obvious that she was no match for his strength.

Excruciating pain spread through Ye Youyou’s being from the bone of her hand, causing her eyes to redden and tears to pool.

When Shen Luo’an saw her appearance, he was convinced that she was putting on an act. Disgust shot of out his eyes as he coldly looked at his so-called wife in front of him. “What now? You’re feeling humiliated? Or, did you think that showing me this expression would cause me to forgive you as I did in the past? Ye Youyou, aren’t you being way too naïve?”

Ye Youyou clenched her jaw and bit her lip, not saying a word in reply. Her complexion became increasingly pale, and her breathing increasingly labored. With tears in her eyes, she ground out in pain, “It hurts…”

Shen Luo’an narrowed his eyes and looked doubtfully at her hand. The bit of skin that peeked out from the opening of her sleeve had reddened. It was evident that her injury had not been minor.

It was only at that moment that he recalled the reason for Ye Youyou’s recent hospitalization. In sudden shock, he quickly released her hand.

Ye Youyou’s hand had been in his vice-grip, and she wasn’t prepared at all for the sudden release. The action caught her unaware. She stumbled a few steps backward.

Her back and b.u.m crashed against a chair behind her. Ye Youyou sucked her breath in pain. Her eyes were red. She swallowed her saliva, only to find that her throat ached painfully. She pulled the sleeve of her pajamas up, which revealed the bruised skin beneath it.

A myriad of emotions pa.s.sed through Shen Luo’an when he saw her hand. It was a mixture of regret, shock, and concern. He took a step forward and reached out for Ye Youyou’s hand with the intention to check the injury, but he was sidestepped by her instead.

Ye Youyou looked at her husband warily and with complex emotions as she announced in desolation, “Shen Luo’an, let’s file for divorce.”

Divorce!

Shen Luo’an had already known about it since the night before. He had emotionally prepared himself before coming. But, hearing it in person still shook him to his core.

Is this woman really asking me for a divorce? Hadn’t it been her dream of many years to marry me? Now, she is saying she wants a divorce!

Shen Luo’an couldn’t identify what exactly his feelings were as a combination of complicated emotions bubbled to the surface. There was resentment, pain, numbness, anger, jealousy, and hatred.

He took a deep breath and stepped forward. He brought his face near to hers as he laughed sardonically and said, “You intend to divorce me so that you can be with your lover, is that it? Tch… Does Li Jinnan even know that you’re married? Or, does he have a preference for used goods?”
