204: Why Not End This Marriage? (2)

Why Not End This Marriage? (2)

Despite Bao Junyan's vague answer, the meaning of it was clearly conveyed to his cousin: Don't overthink it. Nothing happened between them.0

"Even so, they were ultimately lovers before. If this matter were to be exposed in the future, it'll bring about dire consequences!

"Besides, surely you can tell that Chenyi still has feelings for Mu Huan." Naturally, Bao Huaiyun was a formidable figure to garner such huge support while he was still working in the Bao Group. There were many things that he knew about, but he chose to keep mum.

The younger man's eyes darkened slightly as he recalled how desperately his nephew read through the two thick books he gave to him.

"Junyan, they can't continue meeting each other in this manner," said his cousin with a sigh.

"So what about it?" His gaze lifted.

"Since your marriage hasn't been made public… why not just end it?" While they know and believe that nothing happened between the two since their relationship ended soon after it began, outsiders would not buy it!

The exposé would only fuel the public's curiosity about the promiscuity of the upper-class society for gossip, and no one would care to verify the facts.

Everyone would look at them with judgmental eyes whenever they go out!

Besides, the young chap had yet to let go of his feelings for the lass. His desire for what he could not get would only intensify, especially since they had to meet each other pretty much on a daily basis.

It would only be inevitable for him to breed jealousy in his heart and be unable to move on if things remained as they stood.

Bao Huaiyun did not want his cousin and his son to grow apart to the point that they became love rivals!

He knew it was too much of him to request for his brother to end his marriage because of this matter, but the various attempts he made to get his son give up were to no avail. Take his knowing about Lin Qingya's ulterior motives for an example; his allowing of her to become his son's girlfriend was to make use of her manipulative nature in the hopes that she would be able to get his son to drop the thoughts he was harboring.

Alas, over this period of observation, he came to realize that his son not only did not show signs of giving up, but he was becoming increasingly adamant about his feelings!

Things truly could not go on like that!

Nothing was more important than love and harmony within a family in this world.

From what the older man understood about his cousin's marriage, the reason the latter chose that girl was none other than her docility and obedience. Since their marriage was not built on love and it had only been a short while since they got married, ending this marriage seemed to be the best way to prevent things from getting worse!

Unfortunately for him, Bao Junyan shot down his suggestion with a frown and a "No."

"Why? You two did not marry out of love. It's just a union of interest whereby she married you for money and you married her for her docility and obedience. You can always start a new marriage after ending this one, but you should know, even without my mentioning, what would become of Chenyi if he continues being like this. Ending your marriage with Mu Huan is the best solution, so why not?"

He would definitely not let the younger one end his marriage if he had married his wife out of love, but that was not the case here.

Under the assumption that his cousin had no feelings for his wife, he could not fathom why he was reluctant to end the marriage.

He felt that, given Bao Junyan's intelligence and wisdom, he should know that this was the best solution to resolving this matter.

"Xiao Huan's my wife. She's not something that can be replaced at will!" answered Bao Junyan solemnly in his low voice.

Start a new marriage after ending this one?! I have only one wife!
