Bai Xue's word "divorce" made Ye He Ping, who was pacing back and forth in the living room, stop and look straight at her. Bai Xue lost her confidence but still stubbornly met his gaze.
She didn't want a divorce, but seeing Ye He Ping scold her like this, she couldn't swallow her pride. Besides, isn't it usually the woman who mentions divorce, and the man gets scared and comes back to coax his wife? Unconsciously, Bai Xue calculated in this way too.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, so quiet that Bai Xue could hear her own heartbeat.
For a long while, so long that Bai Xue could hardly sit still, she heard the voice she both hoped for and feared, "Do you really mean it?"
No shouting, no questioning; such a calm voice made Bai Xue realize things weren't going as she had planned. Staring blankly at the man before her, he didn't even try to keep her. Could it be that the feelings over the years meant nothing to him?
