Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce-Chapter 422 - 413 I’m not him

"I didn’t hate you that much, but... at least I resented you."

Song Lili closed her eyes,

"I never intended to tell you about this, so before, I couldn’t even imagine what such a scene would be like... When I thought about it leisurely the other day, it seemed like it would be very difficult."

"But now that I’ve been so forthright with you, I actually feel so much better, so comfortable, like a stone that was pressing on my heart suddenly turned to ash, and with a gentle blow, it’s gone."

"You... never planned to tell me?"

Wen Nian was dissatisfied.

Song Lili buried her head in his chest, her arms wrapped around his waist, and sleepiness crept up on her, it was always like this...

When she needed to be vigilant, she felt sleepy because he was by her side, her nerves relaxed, fatigue piled up, and only a sense of security in her heart rose.

She was sleepy, tired, but his discontent still reached her ears, and a smile lingered on her lips,

"Why should I tell you... I never thought that I had to spend my life with you... I just thought, let it be, let it be..."

In her past life, her love for him was too deep, too deep, and it never ended well.

This life, no matter what, she didn’t want to be trapped by love.

A person can do so many things in life, can achieve for others, achieve for themselves, can cry, can laugh, there is no need to delve into the prison of emotion.

She spoke very casually, but it stirred waves in Wen Nian’s heart.

In these years, Song Lili, whom he used to see through easily, was no longer under his control after she turned twenty.

He had never truly grasped her inner journey.

Now, listening to Song Lili herself, Wen Nian vaguely related these emotions and the conflicts they had had before.

For a moment, he was in a daze, finally understanding what she meant when she said, "The gap between us is not as simple as you think..."

He understood the meaning behind those words.

Part of her memory overlapped with his, yet part of it was tightly linked to him, but unknown to him.

Thinking so, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his heart...

In a past life, at thirty-three years old, she passed away.

Such a simple phrase, but it truly encompassed her thirty-three years.

Encompassed her life, her birth... and death.

And all this, for five years, she bore it alone, without a word to anyone, without anyone’s understanding.

Wen Nian felt like the flesh of his heart was seared by a red-hot iron, his heart aching and spasming, clenching tightly together.

Instinctively, he held her even tighter.

"Ali... so now, toward me, do you feel more resentment, or..."

Song Lili laughed softly,

"A thirty-eight-year-old woman is long past the age where she feels like she’ll die without love."

"No more... love?"

"Are you stupid, Wen Xiaonian?"

Song Lili raised her head and reached out to pinch his face,

"If I didn’t have feelings... why would I have children for you?"

"You said at the time... that the child was something you wanted for yourself, that it was for you, not related to me, right?" freewēbnoveℓ.com

"Idiot!" Song Lili raised her hand and thumped him on the head, not lightly at all, "Have I gone mad? To give up a bright future and have a child?"

"..."

"I’ll tell you, the fact that I didn’t tell you I kept the child, that day, everything I said to you was true."

"..."

"I don’t see aborting a child as something so cruel, I don’t care how others view me, they aren’t me, they haven’t experienced what I’ve gone through, throwing around the word ’cruel,’ and then you should give birth? Ridiculous!"

"People who can’t even plan their own lives, not clear on what they want or don’t want, even if they give birth to a child, it’s only making the child suffer."

"I wanted to abort this child, and I don’t even need a reason for it, let alone explain to anyone, including you."

Her hand rested on his face,

"But Wen Nian... the only reason I kept him was truly just one."

"..."

"It’s you."

Song Lili’s eyes shimmered with teary brightness.

At that moment, Wen Nian’s heart was tickled as if by feather grass, itchy, but thrillingly so.

"We agreed, not to doubt each other anymore."

"..."

"Maybe... the way a husband and wife get along, we still need to keep exploring, maybe I still can’t adapt well to the role of the President’s wife, maybe..."

Song Lili hesitated for a moment, maybe even if many things had changed, they might still end up with the same outcome as in the past life...

She looked deeply into his eyes,

"At least we’ve tried our best, at least I, Song Lili, haven’t given up, haven’t fled. That way... there will be no regrets."

Wen Nian was mesmerized... mesmerized by her pair of shiny eyes glowing in the dark tent...

Like stars, those small lights filled his vision.

Making it impossible for him to look away from her eyes...

Leaning close, slightly tilting his head, the kiss landed impeccably on her soft cherry lips.

His hands embraced her slightly plumper waist, body pressing tightly against hers.

The kiss intensified, growing more intense, more intoxicating, shaming the whole night into closing its eyes.

"Ah Nian... Ah Nian... Ah Nian..."

Her lips brushed his sensitive earlobe, her breathy voice calling his name, each call melting into Wen Nian’s very soul.

Wen Nian’s hands worked on the buttons of her military uniform, one by one, revealing the short-sleeved military T-shirt inside.

Wen Xiaonian was brimming with tenderness as Song Lili grasped his hand.

"You don’t really want to do it here... do you?"

"Is it not okay?"

Wen Nian asked, the simple three words already carrying thick implications of desire.

His low and magnetic voice made it somewhat difficult for her to resist.

"Stop joking around, that’s enough... I’m pregnant, you know!"

"Hasn’t it been three months already?"

Wen Nian touched her ear, seducing her both intentionally and unabashedly.

Provoking Lili so that her head could only dart left and right to avoid him,

"Who told you it’s safe after three months?"

"Lili, you’re trying to trick me again, I’ve asked Dr. Ge."

Song Lili’s brows knitted together, "Why... why would you ask him that?"

"What do you think?"

"Wen Nian... you weren’t like this before, so... so..."

Song Lili didn’t even know how to put it.

Back when she was pregnant, they were both thrilled, but her health was frail, and Wen Nian was well aware of this. Therefore, he never demanded anything of her during her pregnancy when it came to bedroom activities.

Back then, servants consoled her by saying that it was because His Excellency was considerate, always putting the President’s wife first...

Perhaps it was just as the servants had said, but... she still felt uncomfortable.

Once one becomes someone else’s wife, many things are no longer just about the heart and mind.

Feeling unwanted can lead to feelings of loss and sensitivity.

Later on, after the child was gone, their interactions had nearly ceased.

"I used to?"

Wen Nian’s gaze fixed steadily on her, "Are you referring to... Wen Nian from the past life?"

"..."

Had Song Lili misunderstood? How could she hear a full measure of jealousy in Wen Nian’s tone?

"Song Lili, don’t mention to me what you and Wen Nian from the past life did... I feel like the very thought is driving me mad with jealousy."

His voice was very deep, which should be considered honest.

But...

Song Lili couldn’t help but laugh in bemusement, "But that person is you."

"No!"

He buried his face in her shoulder and neck.

"He is! He is exactly like you—his speech, voice, actions, personality... all the same..."

"No, they’re not!"

Wen Nian became stubborn, his amber eyes veiled with a deep and dusky curtain,

"Lili, that person isn’t me, not the me who considers you everything, who sees you as life itself."

"..."

"He hurt you, he let you die with resentment, he left you in despair with no hope, I am not him. I won’t let such things happen to you, you believe me."

"..."

Ah Lili’s almond-shaped eyes twinkled with laughter, sour warmth, and profound trust...

"I believe you, Wen Xiaonian."

Maybe...

When she was telling him all of this, deep down she had been hoping he would say these very words.

"I am not him, don’t see me as him anymore. Have you got that, Ah Lili?"

His slightly domineering tone left her without any resistance.

"You are not him... you are... Wen Xiaonian, the real... Xiaonian. Hahaha..."

The first half sounded quite pleasant, but what about the rest... little? Little? Little...?

Wen Nian’s eyes narrowed further, a sign of mounting danger.

Song Lili continued to laugh naively,

"You’re younger than me by several years! Hahaha... Wen Xiaonian!"

"Lili, you’ll regret this."

"I won’t regret it."

She rewrapped her arms around his neck, her gaze firm,

"Do you... really want... want me that much?"

"Yes."

Even a single monosyllabic word could captivate Song Lili.

This was it, she was done for...

"Are you not the slightest bit scared? After all this fantastical stuff I’ve told you, aren’t you afraid I might use Demon Art, or..."

"I just think you’re being a bit too unromantic right now, talking too much nonsense!"

Wen Nian lowered his head to tug at her lips, caressing them with his own,

"At the beginning, the way you tried to fool me was indeed creepy, but now... for some reason, the thought that you might be a ghost, or something else entirely, makes me... even more uncontrollably intrigued!"

"...Zizi, Ah Nian, you’re not a psycho, are you?"

"If you say I am, then I am. If you say I’m not, then I’m not."

Wen Nian, losing his patience, tore open her clothes, exposing her bosom,

"One cannot truly live without being madly in love with someone once in this life. Lili, Lili..."

...Not suitable for children... loyal fans, your reward should be here...
