837: What a Fool...

What a Fool...

"..."1

Wen He struggled inside for the decision she was forced to make.

Should she be selfish and hold tight onto their love, destroying Huo Chen's future in the process?

Or should she let go of this hard-earned relationship and cut all ties with him?

The decision was too much to bear.

"Did Huo Chen agree to this?"

"What do you think?"

Yang Yi smiled coldly and asked rhetorically. "Had he agreed, do you think he would still be locked up in there? Had he agreed, I would have put you behind bars. Why do you think no action has been taken against you yet? I don't know what tricks you used that made him so protective of you, but I will not allow a woman like you to ruin my subordinate!"

Wen He ignored his insult. Her fists clenched tightly.

The facts had become clear to her.

Her man, as usual, had shouldered all the weight for her.

In spite of how difficult it must be, he had done everything he could to shelter her from the harshness of reality.

She continued to live without a worry in the world while he quietly suffered.

What a fool…

Wen He wanted to smile, so she did. The corners of her mouth lifted up into a broken smile as tears started to roll down her cheeks.

"Now, tell me your answer." Yang Yi urged her without regard for her feelings.

Wen He looked at the man.

Even if she disagreed, she knew that Yang Yi would find a way to make her follow his way.

Fortunately, she agreed with Yang Yi's proposal.

"... I agree."

Uttering those two words took all the energy in her.

She slumped tiredly in the chair and looked devastated.

"Very well."

Yang Yi looked satisfied and nodded in approval.

"Next, you will attend a press conference here to clarify your relationship with Huo Chen. You will state clearly that you have nothing to do with him, and you will prepare the divorce papers as soon as possible. After that, you must never meet with him again. Is that clear?"

Wen He felt her entire body throbbing with pain. Her face was deadly pale as she nodded slowly.

"Yes."

"Then off you go, I will make the necessary arrangements."

"Commander Yang," Wen He said abruptly. "Can you promise me two things?"

Yang Yi frowned and looked unhappy. Nevertheless, his heart softened when he saw her pitiful eyes begging him.

"What are they?"

"Firstly, I hope to see him after this to tell him about this and to say goodbye."

Wen He thought her heart was about to give way to the pain. Her breathing turned laborious, but she betrayed none of the feelings inside as she continued speaking, "Secondly, I will leave Z Country as soon as I am done with the press conference. I hope you will keep Huo Chen locked up until after I am gone."

She knew the man very well. If he was allowed freedom, he would disrupt the plan.

"Alright."

Yang Yi took a long look at her and thought that Wen He was not who he thought she was.

"You can ask Song Shou to take you to him."

"Okay."

Wen He bowed to the man. When her head was lowered, a drop of her tears dripped onto the ground.

When she straightened herself again, she looked a lot calmer.

"Thank you."

Yang Yi resisted a sigh and simply waved her away.

After Wen He got outside, she saw Song Shou pacing around worriedly.

When he noticed her, he immediately approached. "Ma'am, what did the commander say to you?"

"Nothing much," Wen He replied plainly. "He said you can bring me to see Huo Chen."
