Chapter 208 We Won't Get a Divorce
It was finally easy to get the two families to calm down.
Tonight's dinner was extremely unpleasant.
Luo Zhen and Luo Qiu returned to the Luo family, while Luo Shu stayed behind.
She knew she wouldn't have peace of mind until this matter was resolved.
"Let's talk?" This was the second invitation she had extended to him that day.
Yu Zhan really didn't want to talk about it. Talking about it would be the end of it. He would rather kneel in the ancestral hall and be whipped than go upstairs with her to talk about any so-called matters.
He didn't say anything, his deep face lowered slightly.
Grandpa Yu, who was standing nearby, was so angry that he picked up the chopsticks on the table and threw them at his back.
"..." He let out a soft groan and staggered forward a step.
Yu Zheng looked at his grandfather.
Old fox!
Fortunately, it wasn't a teacup that was smashed, otherwise his injuries would have been much harder to heal.
The two chopsticks didn't seem to bother him much when they hit him, but the freshly dried scars on his back looked like they were about to bleed again.
His brows furrowed, and the muffled groan he let out alerted Luo Shu, who was standing nearby, to something amiss.
Grandpa Yu's goal can be considered to have been achieved.
Luo Shu didn't care about anything else and turned to walk upstairs.
Yu Zheng kicked him in the butt. "Aren't you leaving? Do you want me to carry you upstairs?"
Yu Zhan gritted his teeth and followed her slowly.
Back in his room, he gently closed the door, and a tense, suffocating atmosphere filled the air.
Luo Shu sat on the sofa, her gaze fixed on Yu Zhan, who was reluctant to come over from the doorway.
She wanted to say something, but swallowed hard, hugged the pillow, and squeezed it so tightly that it creased into the fabric.
After a moment's pause, Yu Zhan walked towards her.
He didn't sit down, but knelt in front of him, placing his hands on his knees.
He hung his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
Luo Shu looked at the top of his head. His thick, coarse hair carried a faint scent of shampoo. Everything felt so familiar, yet so strange.
“Ah Zhan…”
Luo Shu called his name gently, but there was a hint of sadness in her voice that was hard to detect unless you listened carefully.
"Shu'er." Yu Zhan quickly stopped her, afraid that she was about to say something.
He reached out his hands and tremblingly grasped her cold, slender fingers.
Luo Shu didn't refuse, letting him lead her, repeatedly reminding herself not to lose control, not to lose control...
She didn't want to argue.
“Ah Zhan…”
"We won't get a divorce." Yu Zhan slightly raised his eyes to look at the woman he loved.
He had no desire to hear what Luo Shu wanted to talk to him about.
"We will not get a divorce," he repeated.
Luo Shu suddenly couldn't hold back anymore, and tears welled up in her eyes and spilled out.
Tears slid down her cheeks, across her delicate skin, and dripped onto her chin.
Tears fell onto the man's hand, instantly turning from scalding hot to icy cold; the glistening tears spoke of solemnity in their silence.
She was sobbing uncontrollably and couldn't even speak.
"Shu'er, you can do whatever you want, as long as we don't get a divorce, I'll do whatever you want..." Yu Zhan knelt forward two steps and tightened his grip on her hands.
"Let's not get a divorce, okay..."
He buried his head in her hands, and a warm current soaked into her hands.
"Ah Zhan, listen to me..." Luo Shu slowly withdrew her hand.
He didn't give it to me, he held on tightly.
"As long as we don't get a divorce, I'll do whatever you say." He stroked her hand. "Give me some time, I can prove my innocence, that I didn't touch her..."
Let's separate for a while.
She was heartbroken when she said those words, and her tears were worthless.
Some say love is a panacea, capable of curing three thousand diseases.
Some say love is a cage, and this cage only traps oneself.
She didn't want to be trapped.
She remained true to her original intention: being together with someone was enough; nothing else mattered. After all, life is about living with someone, so what difference does it make who you're with?
But over the past two days, she really couldn't follow her original intentions. She still felt sad and lost herself.
She couldn't stop thinking about those things, and even if it was just about living together, she couldn't seem to accept it.
She might have done it before, but now she can't.
She loved herself seven parts, but poured all ten parts of her love into this man, only to reap no reward.
No, I did take him in; I took in a child.
"Does it have to be this way?" Yu Zhan disagreed. "I don't want you to leave, Shu'er, please don't go..."
His eyes were bloodshot, and he hadn't slept well for days. The physical and mental pressure seemed to be crushing him.
"It's so painful, I don't want to see you again," Luo Shu said, forcefully pulling her hand back.
Yu Zhan looked at his empty hands, helpless, and his voice choked with sobs, growing softer and softer.
"As long as we don't get divorced, I'll do whatever you say."
"I'm tired, you can go out now."
She did not comment.
Yu Zhan remained kneeling and did not rise.
"Get out." Luo Shu said indifferently.
"Promise me you won't get a divorce first..."
Snap!
Luo Shu finally couldn't hold back and slapped him across the face!
This slap was not only a condemnation of his infidelity, but also a slap in her own face; she had misjudged him.
"You have no right to negotiate with me!"
Yu Zhan didn't know how, but after being slapped, he actually fell to the side, and his long, soft groans grew deeper and deeper as his hands clenched tightly.
He recovered and knelt down again.
Luo Shu sneered, thinking he was being pretentious.
She got up to leave.
Without even looking up, Yu Zhan reached out and grabbed her wrist.
He knew that if he let go, this woman would really leave.
"Let go!" Luo Shu struggled.
Despite the excruciating pain, Yu Zhan did not let go.
The pain in my heart is no less than the pain in my knee that is twisting right now.
"Can we not get a divorce..." he pleaded again, his heart breaking.
Luo Shu glanced at the man, her gaze falling on the water stains on the back of his black shirt.
The weather was hot, but the indoor temperature wasn't hot enough to make you sweat, which was quite unusual.
She didn't care and said coldly, "I'll move out tomorrow. Whether we get a divorce or not, we'll talk about that later."
She shook off his hand.
Her warmth had completely vanished from Yu Zhan's hands.
He knelt on the ground, unable to find peace for a long time, until the room door slammed shut, shattering his heart.
After an unknown amount of time, he staggered to his feet, supporting himself on the sofa beside him. Even while sitting on the sofa, he could feel the pulling pain in his knees and back.
These are nothing compared to what Luo Shu must be in pain for him right now.
She buried herself under the covers and cried silently, soaking her pillow in one spot after another.
How could Yu Zhan do such a thing?
She didn't believe it, but after seeing those photos and videos, she really couldn't accept it all at once. The only thing that could make her feel a little better now was to stay away from him.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Yu Zhan outside knew he couldn't stay there any longer; he couldn't hold on any longer.
He slowly got up and dragged his heavy body toward the door.
"Young Master." The butler saw the hunched-over man in the corridor, who could barely walk.
"..."
He couldn't say a word; a huge stone was pressing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
Butler Li hurriedly went to help him up.
As soon as he was helped up, Yu Zhan collapsed.
He fainted immediately.
