Song Ning gritted her teeth and laid out her true feelings, "Besides, you and I have only known each other for a short time. If you regret it, it's not too late. So let's get a divorce, while there's not much affection between us yet."
Huo Beian then gently released her, extending his long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles to brush a stray hair from her forehead, his voice incredibly gentle, "I don't regret it."
Looking into his deep eyes, Song Ning was momentarily moved, but still spoke up, "Actually, I married you to avoid being sent to the countryside, and also because I was attracted to your family background. I was using you, don't you really care?"
"I'm willing to be used by you. I'm glad I still have some use to me."
"But I regret it. I want a divorce." Song Ning's attitude was very firm.
"If I don't agree, honey, then you can't get a divorce."
"You! This is outrageous! What's the point of dragging this out without getting a divorce?"
Song Ning was somewhat exasperated, after all, she knew that divorce in military marriages required the man's consent, and if the man did not agree and had not committed any major offenses, a divorce was impossible.
"I'm not getting a divorce anyway, honey. You might as well just accept your fate. Don't worry, no matter what my family does, I'll treat you unconditionally well."
"I don't believe it. Your family is like that, how can you remain untainted by their corruption?"
Song Ning wouldn't believe his nonsense.
“I’m different from them. After all, I’m an officer. Even if you don’t believe me, you have to believe soldiers.”
"No, I want a divorce!"
Song Ning didn't believe that she couldn't get a divorce.
Huo Beian held her hand and said affectionately, "Wife, I've heard about what happened to your family. I'm so glad you came to me when you were most isolated and helpless."
Song Ning rolled her eyes at him and quickly waved her hand, "Don't flatter yourself! I came to you to get a divorce, not to seek refuge with you."
"I know, but," he said, his eyes welling up with tears and his voice choked with emotion, "Right now, I'm your only family. I won't abandon you. I hope you won't abandon me either. Let's try dating again before we get divorced, okay?"
"..."
Song Ning was speechless, but looking at the way his eyes were shining, and he seemed so broken, she felt a little sorry for him.
This guy is probably using his good looks and a self-inflicted injury to seduce her.
However, she did have some feelings for Huo Beian; he was a very good person, and it was a little hard for her to leave him like this.
But how could she possibly compromise just because of a man's charm?
"Huo Beian...you really don't need to do this. We had a whirlwind marriage with no feelings for each other, and I don't love you either. It would be better to part amicably. After all, a short pain is worse than a long one."
"No, I have feelings for you. From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were the only wife I would ever have. I want to be with you forever, please give me a chance, okay? I'll make you fall in love with me."
"No, I still want a divorce..."
"Then I absolutely refuse to get a divorce!"
"You scoundrel!"
"I'll be shameless for my wife's sake. Anyway, you can't leave me unless I agree..."
Huo Beian was going all out. Even if he was a rogue, it was better than his wife running away.
"Speechless. Divorce is so troublesome... I should have never gotten married."
Song Ning muttered to herself.
However, Huo Beian pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
"Wife, please don't divorce me, okay?"
Song Ning was held in Huo Beian's arms and tried to break free.
"No, I want to... leave..."
Before she could finish speaking, Huo Beian slowly lowered his head and kissed her lips...
"Hmm..."
Song Ning's lips were firmly sealed by him, leaving her speechless.
