How could he be so blind as to do something that made it impossible for both of them to reconcile?
Fortunately, it was Ai Zhiyin. If it were someone else, they might not even give him a chance to speak.
At least Ai Zhiyin was still willing to communicate with him and there was no cold violence.
"Actually, I don't want to see Kan Tong either," Ai Zhiyin suddenly said, "otherwise I wouldn't have come out with you."
"I know."
After coming out of the study, he was the one who planned to "escape", but after seeing her, he thought that he should not leave Ai Zhiyin behind to clean up the mess he had made.
If you want to escape, take her with you.
If anyone complains, blame him as well.
"We...would have been able to speak our minds so frankly sooner," Han Ji said.
"It's okay," Ai Zhiyin looked at him, "I don't think it's too early or too late."
Han Ji smiled and said, "Can I ask you some more questions?"
Ai Zhiyin: "About what?"
Han Ji: "Divorce."
Ai Zhiyin: "Ask, but I can't guarantee that what I say is my true thoughts. It might just be a hot-headed, angry remark."
Han Ji was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to react. Ai Zhiyin said, she was angry...
This shows that she still cares about him to some extent...
He didn't dare ask.
He was afraid that Ai Zhiyin would get really angry and say something that would make him even more heartbroken.
"You said you won't divorce now, but you will probably do so in the future, right?" he asked.
"Um."
"How long will it take? Have you thought about it?"
"I haven't thought about it yet," Ai Zhiyin said, "At least we have to wait until the Han family's situation stabilizes a little."
"After your divorce, will you remarry?"
Ai Zhiyin was shocked, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
"Nothing, just asking."
Ai Zhiyin thought for a moment and said, "I haven't considered it that far."
"If you don't remarry...will it be because of me or because of Han Jue..."
Finally, he couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to ask most.
Ai Zhiyin was completely shocked. "What are you talking about?"
"Nonsense? Because I'm talking nonsense? Or because Han Jue is talking nonsense?" Han Ji said self-deprecatingly, "Perhaps I shouldn't shamelessly and delusionally mention myself here."
But why am I so unwilling to accept this?
I feel unwilling for no reason.
He was obviously her legitimate husband, but he could never compare to the other man.
"Even if you divorce me, you can't be with Han Jue," Han Ji said, trying his best to remain rational. "You should know this."
A divorced sister-in-law and brother-in-law...even if they really have a mutual understanding and are together in the future, they will not be able to withstand the rumors from outside.
Ai Zhiyin, who has always valued her reputation, would not do anything to damage her own reputation.
Ai Zhiyin was annoyed. "What nonsense are you thinking about right now? Han Jue and I have a normal family relationship. He cares about family matters, and I communicate with him a little more, that's all. How come in your eyes, it's become something unbearable?"
"I didn't say you were unbearable..." Han Ji didn't know how to explain, "You said you wouldn't fall in love with anyone, but you lied to me. You obviously... Maybe I was overthinking it. Sorry."
"If you want to say something, just say it clearly. Don't keep hesitating. It makes people uncomfortable."
"It's not that I don't want to explain clearly, it's that I don't know how to say it," Han Ji frowned, feeling upset. "If I say it, you'll think I suspect something's going on between you and Han Jue, but that's not what I mean. You and Han Jue are definitely not that kind of people, and you wouldn't do that kind of thing. But... the interaction between you makes me very uncomfortable."
"Interaction?" Ai Zhiyin laughed, and it was ridiculous. "How can there be any interaction between Han Jue and me?"
"I used the wrong words..." Han Ji was even more upset, "That's why I was hesitant. I wanted to say something but didn't dare to."
He wanted to say it because he wanted to know, but he didn't dare to say it because he was afraid that if he said it, Ai Zhiyin would feel resistant to him and think that he was an unreasonable and ungraceful man.
Thinking of this, Han Ji inexplicably remembered that Han Chen had gone to the hotel to find him because of Feng Yang's matter.
Han Chen also said something similar. He didn't want to be outdone by Qi Tan and make Zhou Mo think that he was not magnanimous enough.
At this moment, Han Ji had the same idea.
He also didn't want to be outdone by Han Jue and let Ai Zhiyin think that he was being unreasonable...
With this analogy, Han Ji suddenly remembered Kan Tong's words: You are not asking her to ask you, you are asking her to love you.
Please ask Ai Zhiyin to love him...
The more Han Ji thought about it, the more frightened he became.
"Zhiyin, I... I might..." Han Ji suddenly realized the crux of the matter, but he didn't have the courage to say it out loud.
"What's wrong?" Ai Zhiyin frowned.
"No, nothing," Han Ji was so flustered that even his hands on the steering wheel were shaking.
Ai Zhiyin was slightly annoyed and glared at him, "You're hesitating like this again."
"sorry……"
Apart from this, Han Ji could not say anything else.
God must be playing a joke on him. Why did he realize this only now, after he had made so many mistakes?
"Friend..." Han Ji suddenly called her name.
"Hmm?" Ai Zhiyin responded habitually.
"I want to drink."
"There's no apartment?" Ai Zhiyin glanced outside the car. "How about using the navigation system to see where I can buy one?"
"I don't just want to drink..."
"Then what else do you want to do?" Ai Zhiyin was puzzled. "Are you hungry? Do you need me to order you something to eat? Or... do you want to go drink with your friends outside? It's up to you. I can take a taxi back now..."
"Neither." Han Ji suddenly freed a hand and grabbed the back of Ai Zhiyin's hand. "I want to drink with you."
"With me?" Ai Zhiyin was surprised. Then she looked at her hand, which he was holding. She immediately broke free. "You drive carefully first. Or... we can talk at the apartment. Don't be distracted on the road. Drive safely."
Han Ji smiled bitterly. Her panicked look was both adorable and stimulating to his heart.
She has always rejected any touch from him except in bed.
It seemed like they were not a couple, but... strangers.
Even she felt more natural getting along with Han Jue than with him.
"Zhiyin, when you were with your boyfriend in college, did he ever pursue you?"
Ai Zhiyin was stunned for a moment, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"I remember you said you had a boyfriend in college, but he cheated on you and went abroad."
"Yes," Ai Zhiyin said, puzzled. "It's all in the past. Why bring it up?"
"How did he get you? And why did you agree to him but not fall in love with him?"
Ai Zhiyin stared at him. "Why are you so curious about my past? Are you afraid that I'll cheat on you?"
"No, I'm just curious."
"It's been so long, I've forgotten everything. It happened over a decade ago, who can remember it clearly?"
"Then who is the one you like? Can you tell me?"
"..." Ai Zhiyin was speechless for a moment.
