Chapter 169 Let’s get a divorce
She became gentle, smiling, worried, and nagging. She would stay with Zeng Yichen all night because he had a fever, learn to make Zeng Yichen's favorite baby food, tell him stories to put him to sleep, and knit sweaters for him...
However, these scenes had only appeared in his childhood dreams, countless times.
It's not like he didn't hate Zeng Yichen, but every time he turned around, he would see the little boy running after him, calling him "brother"...
But he no longer hated her.
There was a big age gap between the two brothers. When Zeng Yan was already dealing with military affairs, Zeng Yichen was just a babbling child, so there was really nothing for him to be jealous of.
Besides, after all, what had Zeng Yichen done wrong? He was just a child, and it was natural for him to be loved by his parents.
Is he wrong?
But even though I have comforted myself like this for half my life, the deep obsession has taken root and troubled me in my heart...
Mother, why did you give birth to him?
If you didn't intend to love him, why did you bring him into this world to live such an embarrassing and twisted life? ?
An Lian looked at his gloomy face and listened to his slightly sarcastic tone, but she inexplicably felt a trace of sadness in her heart, as if her heart was being squeezed hard by an invisible big hand.
She suddenly realized that she seemed to have never really understood this man.
She couldn't figure out the reason for his anger, nor could she understand the reason for his inexplicable sadness.
After so many years of marriage, she feels very lonely.
But marriage is ultimately a matter between two people, and the person next to him cannot enter his heart. Isn't he lonely?
He is selfish, and so is she, it seems.
An Lian hesitated and said, "Zeng Yan, you..."
Could you please be sincere to me just once?
"That's right," but before he could finish his words, Zeng Yan interrupted him coldly.
"I am such a conscienceless beast. Is this your first day knowing me?"
An Lian froze in place. It was the first time she heard him trample on her like this. She felt suffocated by the pressure. She took a deep breath.
"Zeng Yan, you really can't talk to me properly, right?"
Zeng Yan looked at her, his dead eyes revealing a seemingly futile struggle.
After a few seconds of silence, he seemed to have made up his mind and said,
"Let's get a divorce."
An Lian was stunned and her mind went blank.
"You...you said...what?" she asked in disbelief, her voice trembling.
"Divorce." Zeng Yan repeated coldly.
After getting confirmation again, An Lianxin suddenly felt a severe pain without any warning, and her eyes were instantly filled with mist.
why?
She was clearly ready to break up with him, so why did her heart still hurt so much? ?
The man who once threatened her that he would never let her go in this life now offered to give her freedom. Why did her heart feel as empty as if it had been hollowed out?
It was not that she had not anticipated that since she chose to stand against the Zeng family, sooner or later she would part ways with him.
But she always felt that it was still too early and she didn't need to face this moment too soon and she was unprepared.
But it turns out that when this moment happens, she still feels so reluctant.
She couldn't bear to leave this man who had brought her so much pain.
He is also the only man she has ever loved in her life.
Zeng Yan looked at her calmly and said resolutely again,
"I will draft a divorce agreement today and have my lawyer send it to you. All the property under my name will belong to you."
After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and turned and walked straight out the door.
Every step he took was so cold and ordinary, yet he seemed to be restraining something. He suddenly paused, without looking back, and just added,
"Don't come to the military camp again, don't go to the Zeng family again, and don't contact anyone related to the Zeng family again."
After saying that, he moved again and continued to walk out.
An Lian stared at his back blankly, and opened her mouth several times to say something to him, but she never uttered a word.
As the man's figure completely disappeared, the tears that she had been holding back finally fell.
The tears were clearly warm, yet they were so cold that her whole body seemed to have lost its temperature.
Zeng Yan returned to his car like a zombie, mechanically picked up his mobile phone and operated the screen, sending a message to his lawyer to explain the divorce.
Then he turned off his phone and planned to throw it on the passenger seat.
Looking at his own reflection on the black screen, there was a bit of Zeng Nian's gloom between his eyebrows, and a bit of Jing Ying's indifference between his lips and nose.
But when you look at the whole picture, they look like no one.
He really seems redundant.
After a moment, he finally threw the phone away, started the car and drove towards the military camp.
Over the years, no matter how dirty or despicable the tasks his father threw at him were, he accepted them all and never objected, all he wanted was to get promoted.
He has always brainwashed himself that he is born with an obsession with status and power, because he is the son of Zeng Nian, the son of a national general Zeng Nian, and he must and should inherit his father's ambition and strategy.
So he should have the ambition to sit in the highest position.
But until that day, she looked so desperate as never before that she asked him to kill her.
That scene deeply hurt his heart, and seemed to begin to awaken something deep in his heart.
He seemed to have just begun to realize that he had been... wrong all along.
He has been working diligently to do those shameless things for Zeng Nian, just to gain a little praise and attention from Zeng Nian.
Of course, he also understood that it was wrong for his father to imprison his mother, but he really did not have the ability to resist his father, whether it was because he was afraid of his father's cruelty or because he did not want to lose points in his father's heart.
In short, he didn't stop it.
But he had to admit that he still had selfish motives.
He thought that if he was the only one who could visit his mother every month, would she gradually forget Zeng Yichen over time? And would she gradually love him more than Zeng Yichen?
Can he enjoy his mother's care and love all to himself?
In the end, it turned out that everything he did was just to beg for love.
Even if it's just love that's forced upon me because I'm desperate, just a little bit, just a little bit is fine.
But the facts prove...
It was all just his fantasy.
It wasn't until his father asked him to kill An Lian that he finally came to his senses.
"Heh~" Thinking of that order, Zeng Yan couldn't help but smile coldly.
How could he kill the only person in the world who loved him?
Zeng Yan stared straight at the road ahead, his eyes filled with unprecedented despair, yet there was also a faint gleam of determination that he had never seen before.
Only when he woke up did he recall all their past.
He was heartbroken to find that the only woman who loved him had already been deeply hurt by his twisted heart.
He knew very well that he was no longer qualified to ask for her forgiveness, let alone to be with her again.
