seven-year itch - Chapter 16

I never truly intended to divorce Jiang Wan.

Even though I no longer loved her.

I still wouldn’t divorce her.

So a few days later, I decided to have an honest conversation with her.

I no longer hid what was going on between Zhou Qing and me.

I admitted I had cheated.

Admitted that I had, for a brief moment, fallen for someone else.

Finally, I said, “If you think it’s unfair, you can find someone too.”

I knew Jiang Wan would never find someone else.

Even if she didn’t love me, she wouldn’t go looking for someone else.

She was a perfectionist.

In both life and love.

Hearing this, Jiang Wan put down her book and looked at me with a mocking gaze.

“Gu Ming, are you done talking?”

She was too calm.

So calm that it infuriated me.

When I decided to have this serious talk with her, I had sent Huanhuan to my parents’ house.

Now, with just Jiang Wan and me at home, there was no need to keep up any pretense.

I slammed the table, placed my hands on my hips, and erupted in anger.

“I’ve already compromised. What more do you want?”

“Jiang Wan, do you think I ended up like this without you bearing any responsibility?”

“Have you fulfilled the duties of a wife?”

Jiang Wan’s expression remained disdainful, and there was even a hint of a smile at the corner of her lips.

Looking at the smile on her face, I suddenly realized something.

I reached out to grab the phone she had placed face-down on the coffee table.

But Jiang Wan snatched it away before I could.

She didn’t answer my questions. Instead, she spoke into the phone.

“Does this count as a clear admission?”

“Does this count as him voluntarily confessing to infidelity during the marriage?”
