Chapter 572: Do You Want to Get a Divorce?

Shu Man arranged for her sister to sleep at the guest room across her room after midnight.

He Xiyan could no longer keep her troubled feelings under wraps when she was all alone in the room and curled up in an unfamiliar bed, hugged a tiny pillow close and started sobbing. Her tears fell like a broken string of pearls and soon, the entire pillow was wet.

She held her phone tightly in one hand but after 10 minutes, 20 minutes… and beyond, her phone did not ring.

She looked dejected at the window and there was no trace of the happy and touched bride that had married this man a year ago. They had only just obtained their marriage license the same day last year and he had promised her that he’d be by her side no matter what and also promised that he’d treat Yuan Yuan like his own child.

However, their relationship had turned so icy in a span of one year. Each time he flew into a rage, he would refuse to answer her calls and her text messages, and he was reacting in the same manner despite the cracks in their relationship.

She wished that he would call and she didn’t mind even if he were to be in a horrid temper. They could communicate with each other and even get into a big fight but nothing terrified her more than his current attitude of giving her the cold shoulder by ignoring all her calls, texts, and messages.

She couldn’t understand why men all tended to react in the same manner. This had been the case with Mo Yixuan as well. He would often ignore her messages or reply with a few emoticons and she was now facing the same situation with Ye Hao.

If he resented the fact that she had spent six days in the hospital caring for Yuan Yuan, he could have let her know, or even gone to the hospital to ask her to come home but he didn’t do either of those things. Thus, she couldn’t understand why he could fly into such a huge rage in such a short span of time.

He Xiyan felt as though her heart was being torn into pieces and the pain that pressed at her chest made her feel breathless. She bit her pale lips tightly and balled her hands into fists, as though she was trying to crush the phone in her hands.

Finally, she couldn’t help but unlock her phone and click on his display picture. Then, she typed a message, a text that contained words that she had never uttered since they were married.

“Do you want to get a divorce?”

He Xiyan looked at the words that she had typed and breathed heavily. A while later, she finally released this message into cyberspace.

Then, she stared at her phone and waited for his response.

She leaned against the bed and her tears fell uncontrollably.

She didn’t know how she was going to continue trying to live like this because she was extremely exhausted. She could tell that his parents had approved of him bringing the family out without her and guessed that they must have condemned her actions as well since they weren’t answering her calls either.

She had only gone to care for her child who had fallen ill, so she didn’t understand what exactly had she done wrong to warrant such cold treatment from them.

If they didn’t like her, they should just verbalize their distaste for her. She wouldn’t shamelessly stick around the Ye family if that was the case.

She was tired of this marriage.

He Xiyan sighed heavily. She had never experienced such a torturous Lunar New Year and if it wasn’t for the fact that she had found Man Man, she would have been spending the Lunar New Year Eve alone.

Her phone finally made a series of beeps and this was the sound of her message notifications.

He Xiyan guessed that Ye Hao must have replied as she eagerly unlocked her phone but a resigned smile soon spread across her face.

These were messages from her colleagues and ex-classmates to wish each other a happy Lunar New Year. As for her husband, he was still ignoring her despite the message that she had sent. He continued to give her the cold shoulder and didn’t even send her an emoticon.
