Chapter 491: Utter Desperation 7_1

"As for our divorce, let’s not tell father about it just yet. We shouldn’t be causing him to worry about us at home. That wouldn’t be very filial. He’s the only father I have so I hope he’s well."

He Teng nodded and agreed. Looking at her teary-eyed and not-so-pretty smile, he felt a sting in his heart. For an instant, he wanted to hold her in his arms and wipe away her tears. He also wanted to ask her why she didn’t obey, why she couldn’t continue the act forever?
But in the end, he didn’t ask any questions or say anything. He simply took off his military coat and draped it over He Zhilan. Then, he turned around and walked away. In just a few seconds, he disappeared from sight.
The coat still carried his warmth and scent, bringing warmth to He Zhilan who was lightly dressed.
She took in deep breaths, reluctant to let go of his scent. He left, without looking back, taking with him his disappointment in her, and he let her go.

As for the Gu family, the more unwavering her belief was in them, the more desperate she felt at this moment, even hatred.
