Chapter 513: Returning a Favor 8_1
Perhaps, it wasn’t fair to He Teng, and it still fell short of what she was hoping for.
If in the beginning, she had fallen in love with He Teng with a tinge of regret and intent to atone, then now, He Zhilan’s love for He Teng was pure without a trace of other emotions. Pure love, love for He Teng the man, and love for this man who hadn’t fallen in love with her.
Once a person falls in love, isn’t it natural to be greedy?
Love can’t bear the slightest impurity.
She started hoping, that He Teng would look at her with the gaze of a lover, just like she did at him.
She didn’t ask for much, just a little more of irresistible tenderness compared to now.
"Brother, you can’t deny that when we got married, it was all the same to you whom you married. I was simply the wife assigned to you by dad since we were children. You married the status of a wife, not the person who is the wife," He Zhilan choked out. "At that time, you were not in love, and neither was I, right?"
He Teng nodded. Even he himself didn’t fully understand what He Zhilan was trying to say, but he did understand this much — He Zhilan insisted on divorce when he said he wouldn’t divorce.
After a while, he agreed, "Okay. I will handle the procedures as soon as possible after returning to the army."
"Don’t let our Dad know." He Teng’s immediate agreement didn’t surprise He Zhilan.
But actually, if at this point He Teng was as assertive as usual in the army, He Zhilan wouldn’t have insisted on the divorce. But now, He Teng unusually did not have the persistence he had when he proposed for divorce.
