Chapter 826: I Said, I Want To Be Together With You

She could not understand why these two people who were obviously in love with each other were not willing to take a step back for the other person.
If only either of them was able to make the first move, then they would be in for a blissful future.

My dance is over, so long!

She practically ran out of the place.
In the corridor outside, Huo Chen caught her arm. Before she could break herself free, she heard his solemn voice speak with absolute brevity, as was his wont.



Wen He, I want to be with you.


…

Wen He stopped struggling and stared wide-eyed at him. He looked sincere and did not seem to be joking.

What did you say?


I said, I want to be with you.

Huo Chen repeated word for word and looking determined to make it happen.
I want this not out of guilt or pity, and certainly not just because you wish for it. I decided to do this simply because I want to be with you. That is all.

He squeezed her hand and asked,
Are you willing to give me a chance?


…

Wen He was honestly moved by his words.
This was the kind of love that she wanted.


She wanted to be with him out of love, and he seemed to want the same thing too.

I…

At that moment, Wen He was tempted to nod.
However, she noticed Lu Zhaoyang at the door of the private room, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.
That cooled her head down. She looked into Huo Chen’s eyes with her own. All signs of emotions were wiped off her face.
Slowly, she shook her head.

I refuse.

The tension inside him snapped instantly.
His distress and anticipation gave way to disappointment.
Nevertheless, he kept all his emotional fluctuations bottled up as he asked quietly,
Why?




Because…

You don’t love me.
He had just uttered the most romantic words, but his tone sounded like he was only commenting on the weather. There was no hint of nervousness at all, as though he would not mind if she rejected him.
Most important of all, she could not see love from his eyes.
What kind of relationship would they have if this was his attitude?

It’s simple. I just do not like you that way anymore.

Huo Chen’s eyes turned darker. He lowered his voice and said,
If you tell me that you have fallen in love with Gu Jinzhi, I will not believe it!


I am not.

Wen He pushed away her internal struggles and replied plainly,
I am not in love with anyone.

After that, she turned to leave, but Huo Chen caught her arm again and pulled at her.


She was pulled into his arms and could not see anything, but she could hear him speak from above her in a strained voice.

Wen He, give me a chance, and give yourself a chance. Let’s give it a try, please?

Wen He could not look up, so she missed the flash of desperation in his eyes and the imploring look on his face.
She suppressed the impulse to yield. After a long moment of hesitation, she shook her head once more.

No.

She would not continue hoping for an impossible relationship.
She had made her decision after seeing him embrace Lu Zhaoyang that night.
There was no way she would turn back, no matter how much she loved him.
A one-sided relationship was not a true relationship.

I am sorry, Huo Chen.



She extended her arms and slowly pushed him away. Her eyes looked up at him with exceeding clarity.

I am leaving the country tomorrow and never coming back. I’ll leave the matter of our divorce to you.

She carefully removed his fingers from her arm and quickly turned away from him.

Do not try to find me again. Goodbye.
