978 You Were Tricked, and I Was Also Tricked (1/2)

It seemed that even though he could get close to her heart, there was always a smokescreen blocking him, making it impossible for him to get near it.

”I… I'm alright,” Wang Juhuai said, looking at Xia Qingwei. Then he suddenly blurted, ”I'm divorced.”

He really wanted to let her know it.

Xia Qingwei paused, her head blank. She forgot what she was originally planning on doing, and her whole body was stiff.

”It's been ten years,” Wang Juhuai said.

”Why?” Xia Qingwei instinctively asked.

”Because I accidentally found out about the situation at that time. She's close friends with my younger sister-in-law, and there was a time when the two of them were chatting and I heard them,” Wang Juhuai said.

Xia Qingwei trembled a bit, not wanting to hear any more.

She helplessly patted her legs. ”It's already late. You…”

”At that time, I did not do anything to let you down,” Wang Juhuai quickly said.

Xia Qingwei smiled uneasily. ”There's no meaning in saying these things now. I—”

Wang Juhuai grabbed her wrist. ”I need to tell you this. Before this, I thought that you had gotten married and did not want to disturb your married life. Since you already had a family, why should I go add trouble for you? So even if I went back to the country, I did not dare to go see you, and I did not even dare to secretly look at you from afar.”

”It is because of that that I did not know you've been divorced for over ten years. I've also been divorced for ten years. The two of us have been single for so long. I don't know if you thought about me during these last twenty or so years, but I'm thinking about you all the time. I've never forgotten you.”

Wang Juhuai breathed in, his voice a bit stifled.
