Hei Niu explained her ex-husband's existence in very simple terms.
"We were childhood sweethearts with a long-standing engagement. On the day we registered our marriage, my father fainted. The check-up revealed he had a serious illness, so we got divorced."
"So we didn't have a wedding, and never got the chance to hold one."
An Ning, who was lapping up the drama, felt a little stuffed.
"How dramatic!"
Hei Niu's eyes met An Ning's, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You're the first person to call it a dramatic story. Everyone else just says how pitiful it is."
An Ning shook her head in disagreement. "What's there to pity? You only registered the marriage. Not only was there no real marital life, but you also got to see his true colors ahead of time. You didn't lose out at all."
"Besides, did you even love him?"
Did you love him?
