849: I Can’t Love Her Anymore...

I Can’t Love Her Anymore...

Speaking of the news, she remembered reading yesterday that the Lin family business went bankrupt and the company was put up for auction.0

Pressure the military resulted in the Lin family's rapid decline into obscurity.

The family lost its prestige and standing in society nearly overnight.

Wen He's eyes turned cold. "Serve them right."

She switched to the national news channel.

Suddenly, she heard the microwave in the kitchen beep.

She hurried over, took out the heated pizza, and served it on a plate.

When she was back in the living room, the television was showing a familiar figure that captured her full attention.

It was Huo Chen.

He was in a live interview session.

The professional anchorwoman smiled and asked, "Officer Huo, what do you think about about Ms Wen?"

Huo Chen was in his military uniform. He was as cool as ever and looked at his interviewer with an icy gaze.

He seemed to have lost some weight, which made his profile look more hardened.

Upon hearing the question, he replied detachedly, "Let things go back to the way it was before."

"By that, do you mean you will never see each other again?"

"Yes."

"May I then ask, Officer Huo, if you have divorced Ms Wen?" The anchorwoman asked.

"No."

Huo Chen's eyes looked unfocused despite looking straight into the camera.

"I have scheduled for us to sign the divorce papers the day after tomorrow."

The anchorwoman nodded. "I'm going to ask this one more question, but you do not have to answer it, Officer Huo." She paused before continuing, "Do you still love her?"

"..."

Huo Chen did not reply immediately.

Wen He stood still with bated breath. She bit down hard on her lower lip and waited.

After a long while, when it seemed that he would leave the question unanswered, Huo Chen spoke up calmly.

"I can't love her anymore."

Crash!

The plate in her hands fell crashing to the floor, scattering hot pizza and broken ceramic pieces all over the place.

The anchorwoman and the audience thought that Huo Chen said that because he could not accept Wen He's manipulation of him.

Only Wen He knew that it was because she had wounded his heart too deeply.

He could not love her anymore…

That was worse than simply not loving her.

"That's the end of our interview, thank you again for joining us, Officer Huo."

The anchorwoman announced sweetly before the screen changed to a commercial.

Huo Chen's face vanished from the screen. Wen He stood where she was for a long time before she finally dragged herself to the sofa and sat down.

She buried her head in her arms and muttered repeatedly to herself, "He can't love me anymore, he can't love me anymore…"

They would never see each other again.

She rubbed her dry, tired eyes.

Sometimes, one could feel so sorrowful that no tears would form.

That night, Wen He received a call from Yang Yi asking her to visit the civil administrative office the day after tomorrow.

The instruction was no surprise for her, so she accepted it calmly.

The day in question soon arrived. Early that morning, Wen He called Gu Jinzhi and asked him to give her a ride to the office. After all, she did not have a car.

If she hired a car instead, the driver would surely recognize her.

Gu Jinzhi hesitated for a while before finally agreeing to her request.
