Chapter 28 I Promise
"Su Jin, let's get a divorce."
These words were definitely the most difficult words Zhou Zhenxing had ever uttered.
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
He saw that Su Jin's face was tense and her hands were clenched tightly, clearly frightened and shocked.
It would be a lie to say that he felt no remorse at all.
However, since it has been determined that he no longer loves her, delaying will only cause pain for both of them.
At the same time, I was prepared for her to cry and fuss.
“I didn’t have this idea suddenly; it was something I thought about carefully. Our marriage was arranged by our parents, and I hadn’t thought it through at the time.”
"So, have you thought it through now?" Su Jin's voice trembled slightly.
Zhou Zhenxing nodded firmly, "Yes, I know very well what I want. But luckily, although we've been married for three years, we haven't become a real couple."
It was as if God was foreshadowing that their marriage couldn't last, because she happened to have her period a few days after their wedding.
When he returned home for the second time to visit his family, she had contracted typhoid fever and was quite ill.
By the third time, his heart was no longer with her, and naturally, that kind of relationship wouldn't happen again.
That's why he's now so confident in proposing a divorce.
Faced with his humiliation, Su Jin did not explode or make a scene. Instead, she calmly asked, "Will the military agree to our divorce? And my family won't agree either."
"I will submit a report stating that our relationship has broken down. Although there may be some procedural troubles, it will definitely be fine. As for my family, I can leave them alone for now and explain to them in person when I go back to visit them."
Zhou Zhenxing had already made plans, fearing that she would use these reasons to refuse the divorce.
"You've already thought it through, so what are you saying to me?" Su Jin's tone carried an indescribable sarcasm.
Zhou Zhenxing felt that it was her self-deprecation, but her reaction was rational, and she did not vent like a shrew.
"If you agree to the divorce, I'm willing to give you some compensation. Of course, it will be within my means."
The last sentence also serves as a reminder to Su Jin that compensation is acceptable, but it should not be excessive.
"I can give you time to think about it, hopefully not too long."
He knew this was sudden, and no one could accept it immediately.
"I agree."
Su Jin didn't hesitate at all, and Zhou Zhenxing was clearly stunned, staring at her intently as if trying to figure something out.
Noticing his surprise, Su Jin calmly explained, "Since you've already made up your mind, you definitely won't accept me even if I keep pestering you, right?"
Zhou Zhenxing nodded. "I hope we can part ways amicably."
"After all, we've been husband and wife, and I don't want to leave you with a bad impression," Su Jin said sincerely.
Zhou Zhenxing sighed. Did she love him to that extent?
Even when he proposed divorce, all she cared about was his opinion.
"Su Jin, you are actually a good girl. You will definitely meet a man who truly appreciates you in the future."
May we both find peace from now on.
Su Jin hummed in agreement. "You just said you were willing to compensate me, is that true?"
Zhou Zhenxing really didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he felt a bit relieved, readily replying, "Of course it's true, what do you want?"
