Ji An couldn't bear to see him in such a pained state.
She gripped the glass, looked away, and took a deep breath.
"Yi Yang, I think you misunderstood something."
"The reason I left that year was not to punish you. It was because I had given up on you and this marriage."
"I also thought that after so many years, you should have already started a new life, and not be entangled with the past."
Give up?
Teng Yiyang clenched his fists tightly as veins popped up in his veins.
"You left without leaving a single word behind. Isn't it like a couple running away from a quarrel? Am I going to end my marriage because of your agreement? "
"Who said I didn't leave any message? I clearly told Grandpa Teng! "Farewell!"
"That's Grandfather, not me! You didn't tell me! I'm the one who married you! That's me in your account book! "Ji An, you have to understand this!"
Teng Yi pursed his lips and his entire body was filled with anger.
"Alright. If you insist, then I do owe you a goodbye. I'm here to solemnly tell you, Teng Yiyang, that our marriage has come to an end. Can you be more straightforward? Once we get divorced, we won't owe each other anything!"
Teng Yi Yang felt that he really was a masochist. He was whipped by her heart over and over again, and now he even wanted to shamelessly get close to her.
"I don't accept it!"
Teng Yiyang's words infuriated Ji An. "How can you do this!?" Is it possible to be happy when you're entangled with someone who doesn't love you? "
Someone who doesn't love you!
His heart trembled, and soon a boundless pain overwhelmed his senses.
He pursed his lips, "The one who wanted to marry back then was you, and the one who wants to leave now is also you. Good, very good!"
"What do you think I, Teng Yiyang, am? A rag thrown away at random? "
Ji Anan pursed his lips. He stared at the enraged man, but didn't say anything to retort.
Yes, when Grandpa Teng asked her if she wanted to marry him, she happily agreed.
At that time, the two of them were in an inexplicable period of cold war. At that time, she was holding onto the hope that their relationship would return to its former state.
However, if she was able to reverse the flow of time, she would definitely refuse Grandpa Teng.
In this world, not all wishful thinking could achieve true results.
"There's nothing left to say?" Teng Yiyang said aggressively.
"I thought that at that time, you and I would still have a future."
That's why you agreed to marry him?
Teng Yiyang asked, "What about now? You think we have no future? If you don't try, how would you know if it's impossible! "
"Do we still need to try it out?" That year, what does it count as? "
If he wasn't in a desperate situation, how could he be so heartless as to cut it in half?
He was the wrong side, and he always knew it.
But he couldn't let go so easily.
He knew very well that once he let go, there would be nothing left.
Thus, no matter how much he felt sorry for her, he could only choose to ignore her.
"I can agree to anything but a divorce."
Even if she wanted the entire Teng Clan, he would give them all.
"Then what's the point of you coming to find me to discuss divorce today!"
"Teng Yiyang, you can't be so unreasonable!"
Teng Yiyang lowered his eyes.
"Is it really irreparable?"
"Yes."
Teng Yiyang replied, "Alright, I'll be reasonable."
Just when Ji An thought that he had compromised, he unexpectedly said something that made her feel incredulous.
"I'll give you two choices."
"Firstly, if you insist on getting a divorce, then I want the right to take care of Sleeping Treasure."
"Impossible!" Ning, hearing this, excitedly rejected the idea. "Sleeping Bao is my child, I would never give you the right to take care of him."
As if he had expected that she would not accept, he continued.
"Second, you brought Nightmare Treasure back to live with me. If you insist on getting a divorce after a year, I'll sign it."
"What, what did you say?"
I mean, give each other a year, give each other a chance, maybe after a few years, you'll find out I've become a good husband, I can be a father, I can try to get along, maybe I'll make something out of you.
"Impossible! I do not need this chance! "
This chance had vanished four years ago. How could he still have the nerve to say it!
Teng Yi Yang ignored her and pushed the juice towards her, "Drink some water first. Let's calm down."
"Calm down? How can I be calm! I can even splash juice on your heart right now! "
He lowered his voice. "Anthea, think about it. Sleeping Treasure needs Mom and Dad. He might prefer living with his parents."
"From the time I've been in contact with him, I can feel that the child would love to have a father by her side."
"Neither of us is a Sleepy Treasure. We can't be so selfish as to decide his life."
Logic told him that what he said made a lot of sense.
No one can be selfish enough to make a decision in place of a sleeping treasure.
But she could not accept it. These words came from his mouth.
If he had known about the existence of Sleeping Treasure back then, he definitely wouldn't have tolerated Sleeping Treasure's birth.
At that time, she was well aware of how much he hated her.
"And if I refuse?" She said in a slightly hoarse voice.
Teng Yiyang stared blankly for a moment, and then immediately said with a stern expression, "Then let's meet in court. No matter what means we use, our Teng Clan will definitely not allow the descendants of the Teng Clan to live outside."
Thus, in the end, everything he did was just for the sake of sleeping treasures.
"You really have a good plan. Regardless of whether I agree or not, if you are going to get divorced, you have to take care of the treasure in your sleep. Those two choices are not that different to me!"
There was a difference, at least, between being able to participate in her and Sleeping Treasure's lives in the open, and also having a chance to save her heart.
He slowed his tone and said, "No, the second choice. If you insist on a divorce one year later, I will give up my right to take care of Sleeping Treasure."
Ji An was stunned upon hearing this. He looked at the familiar handsome face in front of him, then suddenly felt grief in his heart.
In other words, no matter how many choices he gave her, it was all to force her to choose the second option.
He knew she wouldn't give it up.
"As expected of a businessman. He really knows how to deal with negotiators. I'm impressed!"
The corner of her mouth twitched into a mocking smile.
Teng Yiyang knew that he was indeed very despicable, but he had no other way left for her.
he said to her solemnly and earnestly.
"Give me a year to prove it. Perhaps you will find us suitable."
