Chen Shouwang was now in utter turmoil. He had never felt life so bleak, even somewhat despairing, all stemming from his momentary desires.
Now both Hualing and Liu Li were pregnant at the same time. His choice? In fact, he had made it long ago. Regardless of Hualingâs pregnancy, he was inclined towards her, let alone now that she was also pregnant.
But Liu Liâs side...
Chen Shouwang, with his scruffy chin, pushed a large envelope in front of Liu Li.
Liu Li glanced at it, understanding what it meant. Was it filled with money? In the end, he chose to dismiss her with money? Ha.
"My allowance isnât high, and this is all I can offer." Chen Shouwang said with his head lowered, "I have wronged you."
Liu Li laughed, saying, "What if I donât accept it?"
Chen Shouwang looked up at her.
Liu Liâs face was cold as she said, "If I report this to the military district leaders, youâd be dismissed, wouldnât you?"
Chen Shouwangâs expression changed drastically. The Liu Li before him was no longer the gentle woman of the past, but more like a vengeful demoness, dragging him down into the abyss.
"Once I report our relationship to the military district, your position as a platoon leader will be over. But thatâs okay, I have this little tavern, so we wonât starve." Liu Li said, lowering her gaze.
"I canât be with you," Chen Shouwang said. "My wife is pregnant. Even if I lose my position, I canât divorce her to be with you."
Hualing is pregnant too!
Liu Liâs face finally turned pale, her voice sharp, "Sheâs pregnant, you canât divorce her, her child is precious. But what about me? When you were with me, why didnât you think of her?"
Chen Shouwang said, "I know, Iâm a scumbag. If you want to curse me, go ahead."
Liu Li laughed through her tears, pointing at him: "You are a scumbag, haha, you finally admitted it. I was the fool, blind enough to think you were responsible. Youâre just an indecisive, irresponsible bastard."
"Youâve wronged her, and youâve wronged me. Youâve let down two women, Chen Shouwang, you wonât have peace. You wonât!" Liu Liâs eyes turned red: "I wonât let you live peacefully, never."
Chen Shouwangâs face shifted multitude times, and suddenly, he knelt before her.
Liu Li was stunned, then felt as if her heart was shattered by a sharp weapon.
She knew clearly. His kneeling signified an end to all their past moments together, kneeling them away. It meant he truly chose to abandon her.
Liu Liâs tears fell like rain.
"Iâm sorry, Iâve wronged you. I know you resent me, Iâm sorry. If you go to find our leaders, I canât stop you. Itâs my own fault, I deserve it. I respect your decision." Chen Shouwang said, "This is my last time coming. As for the child, you should consider it? You are already raising one child alone, having another would be too hard."
After speaking, he stood up from the ground, saying, "When youâre ready, if you need, Iâll accompany you to the hospital."
Having said that, he bowed deeply and said, "Iâm leaving!"
Liu Li said nothing, silently crying.
Seeing this, Chen Shouwang said no more, turning to leave the place.
This was truly his last visit.
After a while, Liu Li came to her senses and ran out, but there was no trace of him. She couldnât help but sit on the ground wailing, "Come back, come back!"
The mournful cries, heart-wrenching to all who heard them, but this was a sin she brought on herself.
