The meaning of "Yao Dong" is that I want "Eldest Sister" to help me vent my frustrations. 0
 
But I know that when it comes to matters of the heart, no one can truly assist. 0
 
Once a bond is broken, it can never be mended. 0
 
Moreover, "Eldest Sister" is the Empress! 0
 
She has so many affairs to manage each day; how could I allow her to be distracted by my troubles? 0
 
Forget it, forget it! 0
 
Since fate has run its course, let it drift away with the wind! 0
 
So upon returning to the "Lin Residence," I acted as if nothing had happened... 0
 
After getting off the carriage, I entered the courtyard. 0
 
I noticed that all the flowers had withered. 0
 
My heart felt heavy, yet I had no desire to look at them. 0
 
At that moment, "Lin Han" approached me. 0
 
"A Jin," he said with a smile, "It’s quite windy outside. Did you catch a chill?" 0
 
As he spoke, he draped a cloak over my shoulders. 0
 
Then he handed me a piece of my favorite "Tiao Tiao Cake": "Here, your favorite." 0
 
I took the pastry from his hand but caught sight of an ambiguous mark on his neck. 0
 
So I asked, "What happened to your neck?" 0
 
Hastily, he covered his neck: "Oh, it’s probably just a mosquito bite." 0
 
A mosquito bite? 0
 
How could a mosquito leave such a vivid red mark? 0
 
Thinking of that woman kissing his neck earlier made my heart feel as if it were being pricked by needles! 0
 
 
But I did not erupt. 0
 
Because I did not want to humiliate myself. 0
 
So I said calmly, “Lin Han, do you remember what you said on our wedding day?” 0
 
“A Jin,” he looked at me with confusion and asked, “Which words?” 0
 
I stared straight at him and said, “You promised to never let me down in this life.” 0
 
“A Jin,” he looked at me earnestly and replied, “When have I ever let you down?” 0
 
I continued to look him in the eye and said, “You know in your heart.” 0
 
“A Jin,” he said helplessly, “Why do you keep saying such things?” 0
 
Such things? 0
 
It seemed he had no intention of admitting it. 0
 
Fine. 0
 
Since he was not going to admit it, it meant he was already prepared. 0
 
In that case, why should I continue to cling to this? 0
 
So I told him, “Lin Han, from today on, you go your way and I will go mine.” 0
 
“A Jin!” Lin Han grabbed my hand urgently and said, “What are you talking about?” 0
 
I replied coldly, “I’m saying I want a divorce!” 0
 
“Divorce?” Lin Han looked at me in disbelief and said, “A Jin, you must be joking!” 0
 
I coldly responded, “Do I look like I'm joking?” 0
 
“A Jin!” Lin Han looked at me anxiously and asked, “What’s wrong? Did I do something wrong? Just tell me, and I can change!” 0
 
I replied coldly, “You did nothing wrong. The mistake is mine! It was my folly to marry a scoundrel like you!” 0
 
“A Jin!” Lin Han looked hurt as he gazed at me. “Why do you say such things? Is it just because I came home late?” 0
 
 
"Out late?" 0
 
So he knows about coming home late! 0
 
I thought he was oblivious to it! 0
 
I replied coldly, "What do you think?" 0
 
Lin Han realized the seriousness of the situation when he saw my resolute attitude. 0
 
He embraced me and said, "A Jin, I just met an old friend. But I promise this is the last time. It won't happen again! I swear!" 0
 
A promise? 0
 
Ha! 0
 
A man's promise is as reliable as a woman's monthly cycle—completely untrustworthy! 0
 
I pushed him away and said, "Lin Han, just go." 0
 
Seeing my firm stance, Lin Han didn't press further. 0
 
But before he left, he said to me, "A Jin, whether you believe it or not, my feelings for you are genuine!" 0
 
Genuine feelings can still lead to having children with another woman behind my back? 0
