He couldn't explain why he felt unwell.

It was as if Ye Zhaoyu particularly disliked him and couldn't wait to sever ties with him.

"It's alright. This has already wasted five years of your and Miss Lin's time. We can't let it drag on any longer. I'll move to the guesthouse tomorrow, and I'll leave once I get the divorce certificate." Ye Zhaoyu's voice was polite yet distant, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"We've lived here for five years, a few more days won't make a difference," Huo Jian'an tried to persuade him further.

Ye Zhaoyu remained silent; living under someone else's roof was never as comfortable as staying in a guesthouse.

Neither of these are home; the guesthouse offers more freedom.

Huo Jianan noticed that Ye Zhaoyu was aloof and unwilling to acknowledge him. He wondered if she had grown cold towards him and no longer wanted to love him.

That's true. Because she hasn't been home for five years, I don't even want to come in when I pass by. I guess she's not having a good time at home either.

She would bring herself a lunchbox almost every day, and only leave alone after it got dark and she was sure he wouldn't come out to see her.

Being hurt by the person you love most is indeed heartbreaking.

That's how women are; once they get married, they treat that man like their heaven. She brought her meals every day for five years, loving him terribly. Now, her heaven doesn't want her anymore.

I have indeed wronged her, betrayed her affection, and misunderstood her for so many years.

After much hesitation, Huo Jian'an, facing the person who was deeply in love with him, finally decided to say sorry, "Um, I'm sorry..."

“You don’t need to apologize. Our marriage was originally a transaction,” Ye Zhaoyu interrupted Huo Jianan.

She came to the South because it was far from the capital, and Old Master Huo was the highest-ranking person there, so he could protect her and give her time to find the antidote.

However, Ye Zhaoyu did not feel that she owed the Huo family or Huo Jian'an anything.

It was just a transaction to begin with.

Huo Jianan traded five years of marriage for the ability to be lively and energetic now, to continue serving in the military, and to pursue his dreams.

fair enough.
