Chapter 34: A Wise Man Does Not Fall in Love
"Aying, this is for you."
Song Zhichen came to Zhou's house again and personally handed the divorce letter to Zhou Ying.
Zhou Ying took the thin paper in disbelief. Song Zhichen actually gave her the divorce letter. She had already made up her mind to continue to negotiate with the Song family, but she didn't expect that the Song family would agree to the divorce so readily.
The surprise in Zhou Ying's eyes quickly turned into ecstasy, which made Song Zhichen feel bitter.
"I have let you down all these years. I owe you a lot, and I also owe Ye'er."
Zhou Ying looked up and discovered that Song Zhichen looked much more haggard, with white hair growing on his temples.
She was slightly startled, and an indescribable and complex feeling rose up in her throat, making her feel a little bitter.
Song Zhichen's Adam's apple rolled. He looked at Zhou Ying's face and suppressed the bitterness in his heart.
He knew that it would be difficult to find an opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation with Zhou Ying alone in the future.
If you think about it carefully, God has been kind to him. He was born into a noble family in the capital and has lived a smooth life.
When he was young, he met a woman who was worth his lifelong love, and later he gave birth to a son who was much more successful than him.
But he didn't cherish any of these.
Instead, he indulged himself in romantic affairs and lived in a daze.
He had been squandering the good luck given by God, and now this outcome was his own fault.
"Take good care of yourself in the future. You don't have to worry about Ye'er... He is the prince of the Duke's Mansion after all."
Zhou Ying remained silent, and the atmosphere became a little stagnant for a moment.
Song Zhichen looked at Zhou Ying, "Aying, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life. No matter what, I still owe you an apology."
Zhou Ying raised her eyes, "You don't need to say sorry to me."
Song Zhichen laughed, "I knew you wouldn't..."
The Zhou Ying he knew was a chivalrous woman who would draw her sword and help others when she saw injustice.
He is an open-minded person who can take on and let go at any time.
Before Song Zhichen could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhou Ying's voice——
"Because it means nothing to me anymore."
She took the divorce papers and stood up to leave.
"Aying," Song Zhichen couldn't help but yell, "Will you hate me?"
"I will neither hate you nor love you anymore."
Zhou Ying looked at Song Zhichen deeply, and then left without any regrets.
Song Zhichen looked at Zhou Ying's departing back, maintaining his original posture, sitting there for a while before standing up.
Neither hate nor love, just a stranger.
He chuckled, half mocking, half sighing.
"We can't even be friends anymore."

"Zheng'er, I'm free!"
Zhou Ying excitedly found Chen Huazheng with the divorce papers. She was finally free.
In the past, I always felt that my body and soul were trapped by something, as if there were a thousand pounds of weight under my feet, and I wanted to struggle but was powerless.
Now that I have the divorce papers in hand, I feel like even the air I breathe is free.
As soon as Shen Huazheng heard Zhou Ying's words, she knew that she had finally obtained the divorce letter.
"Congratulations, cousin Ying. Let's celebrate by eating goose meat!"
In her previous life, Shen Huazheng's parents died when she was very young, and she was raised by her grandparents.
Later she went to college, and her grandparents died one after another.
After coming into this world, both the Shen family and the Zhou family were very kind to Shen Huazheng, making her feel the love from her loved ones.
She had long regarded these people as her own family.
Now that Zhou Ying has finally been freed, Shen Huazheng is truly happy for her.
"Goose meat?" Zhou Ying didn't understand why they suddenly talked about food.
"Yes, now is the time to celebrate by eating goose stewed in an iron pot."
Chen Huazheng smiled and said, "That's right, we should eat goose meat to celebrate. I will be going home tomorrow, so I will make drunken goose for you for dinner."
[A wise man should not fall in love, but rather stew a goose in an iron pot. Love is sad and upsetting, but a goose is heartwarming and filling. My cousin has finally escaped from the sea of suffering, so we should celebrate by eating a drunk goose! ]
Zhou Ying: …
This sounds a bit strange, but it seems to make sense.
Moreover, although I don’t know what drunken goose is, it sounds delicious.
