Stars In His Eyes

"Okay." He Zhilan nodded.

"Why divorce? Was it because Ateng was bullying you?" He Zhongguo’s first reaction was to think that if two people got divorced, it must be He Teng’s fault, being the older brother and husband, "Did he hit you?"

"No!" He Zhilan quickly explained, "No! Dad, brother has been good to me!"

Before He Zhilan could finish, her father sighed and shook his head, "Well, if you’re divorced, you’re divorced." He then choked up a bit, "The truth is, Dad was most worried about you two. When I made you get married, I knew Zhilan, you were reluctant, but I still selfishly pushed you into it. Actually, my biggest fear was that you wouldn’t be happy after getting married. If that was the case, I would have felt very guilty. I shouldn’t have insisted on you two getting married, and it turned out I just delayed you both."

He Zhongguo looked at He Zhilan, raised his hand, and gently patted the back of He Zhilan’s hand, saying, "If the two of you weren’t happy together, then it’s alright to get divorced. It was also Dad’s mistake, for not considering your feelings at the time."

"Dad~" He Zhilan’s eyes teared up, "I was immature back then. How could I have understood what marriage was, or what a husband was? I was just being stubborn because Dad pushed me; I refused to follow through. So, during our marriage, I kept clashing with brother. Later, when I went to the capital, I did a lot of things that made brother angry. Divorcing him was my fault too."

He Zhilan gently comforted her father, "Dad, don’t overthink it. Marrying brother, I was actually very happy. Dad, brother and I came back this time to remarry. The marriage certificate has been sorted out, it’s in brother’s pocket. He treats it like a treasure, barely letting it out of his sight to give me a glance."

"What?" Her father’s emotions were indeed a rollercoaster, "Coming back to remarry?"
