Divorce agreement.
What kind of anniversary gift is this?
Tang Li met Huo Chenyu's eyes. He had already picked up his chopsticks again, eating meat heartily, and said:
"You are so talented, and I made you the woman behind me for three years. Now, I give you your freedom. The sky is high for birds to fly and the sea is wide for fish to leap."
What a wonderful saying: "The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap."
Huo Chenyu is definitely the first man who is so righteous as to abandon someone who started a relationship but ended it.
Tang Li didn't want to be a fish swimming in the deep sea, nor did she want to be an eagle soaring in the sky.
She only wanted to be Huo Chenyu's wife.
But it seemed their marriage was doomed, and Tang Li had no words to say.
Huo Chenyu pushed the divorce papers on the table toward her:
"Take a good look at it. If you have no objections, just sign it. Today is Saturday, and I'm going on a business trip. I'll wait for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau next Monday."
They really want a divorce.
This is not a joke.
Tang Li stared unfocused at Lin Yiyun's ill-timed smile on the TV screen for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence:
"Why?"
Huo Chenyu raised his head and followed his gaze to Lin Yiyun, telling her the reason straightforwardly:
"I want to give the person I love a home."
In short, just ten words.
It negated the affection the couple had shared for three years.
It also conveyed many signals.
Am I not the person you love? Isn't this a home? Isn't this what you wanted to give me in the first place?
As a wife, Tang Li gave up everything, even erasing her name from the public eye.
All because of his question, "Tang Li, are you willing to be the woman behind me, living in anonymity and enduring humiliation?"
willing.
Of course she was willing.
In this world, her brother was her only remaining family member.
When the Tang family was in trouble, he was the only one who offered a helping hand.
Given her status as a member of the Tang family, it was indeed inappropriate for her to enter the Huo family's inner circle. Therefore, she agreed to a secret marriage. Her brother would shoulder the mission and burdens of the Tang family, and she only sought a happy marriage.
After three years of this beautiful dream, it's time to wake up.
Tang Li choked back tears as she agreed:
"The one who isn't loved is the third party. Fine, I'll grant your wish."
Tang Li turned around, found a pen under the TV cabinet, and signed the divorce agreement without hesitation.
Huo Chenyu was greatly surprised:
"Aren't you going to take a look?"
Tang Li smiled bitterly:
“What’s so interesting? I married you when I had nothing, and lived a life of luxury for three years. Now, I will accept whatever you are willing to give me, and I will not force you to give me anything you are not willing to give me.”
Finally, let me add one more sentence:
"Everything you give me is a gift."
She had given her all without reservation, and now that her efforts had been in vain, she has no reason to blame anyone.
Huo Chenyu lowered his head and said:
"sorry."
Tang Li sat down and ate heartily, stuffing her mouth full. When Huo Chenyu reached out to stop her, Tang Li looked at him with teary eyes and said:
"After I finish this meal, I'll pack my things and leave."
Huo Chenyu released her hand as if he had been electrocuted, and dared not approach her again.
"This villa is left to you. I promised you that I would never let you be homeless again."
So he still remembered.
Tang Li, with tears in her eyes, swallowed what was in her mouth and smiled:
"Thank you. Would you like to finish your meal before leaving, or would you like me to pack your things now?"
Huo Chenyu frowned slightly.
Is she telling you to get rid of her?
Feeling inexplicably annoyed, Huo Chenyu had no appetite left to finish the meal with her. He coldly tossed out a sentence:
"I'll have my assistant pack my things."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Tang Li did not get up. Still holding the chopsticks in her right hand, she took off the ring from the ring finger of her left hand, placed it on the corner of the table, and said to him:
"The Ring of Eternity is of extraordinary value, a unique and one-of-a-kind item. It is also engraved with your name. Since we are getting rid of each other, it is not appropriate for me to keep this ring. You can take it."
The love we shared back then is still vivid in my mind.
After taking off the ring, Tang Li continued eating.
It will rain, a mother will remarry, a husband will divorce, the earth will still turn, and people need to eat to live.
Huo Chenyu didn't take the ring, and repeated the same thing:
"Once something is given away, there's no reason to take it back. What belongs to you, you should keep."
Tang Li couldn't help himself after all, and as he walked toward the door, she asked him with her back to him:
"What about the whole street?"
He bought the entire street, making such a big fuss.
Before he could answer, Tang Li already understood that the entire street was not among the properties allocated to her.
Its ownership belongs to someone else.
Tang Li asked with a smile:
"So that entire street was your dowry to her?"
