Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Can’t Find Any Excuse to Keep Her_1

Translator: 549690339

These confessions were something Hai Xiaotang dreamed of hearing in her previous life.

But now she doesn’t want them…

Not at all!

Staring at him, Hai Xiaotang spoke word by word, “Dongfang Yu, I regret that it’s too late.”

The surrounding air seemed to solidify in an instant.

Dongfang Yu suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

Hai Xiaotang’s attitude was cold, “It’s really too late.”

“I don’t believe you don’t have any feelings for me anymore!” Dongfang Yu suddenly yelled out, “Hai Xiaotang, do you dare to swear that you don’t have any feelings for me anymore!”

Hai Xiaotang raised her hand, speaking without hesitation, “I swear on my grandfather’s life, I don’t love you anymore.”

Dongfang Yu’s face turned pale instantly.

It felt like his heart was tightly gripped, the pain as if it was about to shatter at any moment!

This was the first time he knew what heartache felt like…

And it was the first time his confession met with such a huge setback.

Dongfang Yu’s mind turned blank for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Hai Xiaotang said indifferently: “This is why I want to divorce you, do you believe me now?”

“Hai Xiaotang…” Dongfang Yu’s voice was hoarse, ridden with suppressed pain, “You’ve clung to me for 7 years, is this the end game you’re giving me?”

Hai Xiaotang’s gaze flickered slightly, “It’s a case of fate’s misalignment. I happened to wait for 7 years, your affection came too late.”

“You once said you would love me forever!” Dongfang Yu couldn’t help yelling angrily, “It was you who said, forever!”

“I can’t do it forever, even death won’t change that!”

Hai Xiaotang didn’t want to argue with him anymore, saying indifferently: “I’ve said everything that should be said, there’s no point to carry on this way. Of course, if you don’t want a divorce, that’s fine by me, because in my heart, we are already unrelated. However, I still beg you for a divorce. Will you please agree to a divorce?”

“[Brother Dongfang, will you please marry me?]”

Once upon a time, she, young and naive, pleaded him in the same way.

Now, she was begging him to agree to a divorce…

Dongfang Yu found it bitterly ironic.

His dignity has never been trampled like this, never!

But why can’t he just let go…

And yet she was pleading him now.

His pride and dignity did not allow him to serve his self-esteem on a platter for her to trample on again.

“Hai Xiaotang…” Dongfang Yu tried to make a last-ditch effort, “You can think about it for a few days. If you are determined to divorce, I promise you!”

Hai Xiaotang shook her head, she didn’t want to drag things on. Who knows what could happen next.

“There’s no need to think about it. My decision won’t change for a lifetime.” She spoke with determination.

Dongfang Yu wanted to smile, but his lips were too stiff to curve.

“So you mean you will never regret it?”

“Never.”

“Once divorced, there will be no possibility between you and me, I will forget you, do you still want to do this?”

“Yes!” Hai Xiaotang answered without any hesitation.

Dongfang Yu couldn’t find any excuses to retain her anymore.

Nor could he convince himself not to agree.

As for begging her, he couldn’t do it, nor was it necessary. Throughout this time, Hai Xiaotang’s attitude had been firm. Whatever he did seemed futile and ridiculous.

The only thing he could do was to respect her choice like a man should.

“Fine, 1 agree.” Dongfang Yu heard himself speak, his voice so low it almost seemed unreal.

Well, it seemed that the timing was not ripe for a divorce, but as I continued to write, I realized the timing was just right. Hai Xiaotang must get a divorce because otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to start anew.. They are divorced-
