Chapter 685 I can do it, do I still want a divorce?
The light turned red and Huo Yan walked away.
Zhuang Zhoucheng strode forward and held her wrist tightly with his big hand, not allowing her to break free.
"Be careful of the cars." Zhuang Zhou said in a low voice.
He held Huo Yan's hand tightly and strode ahead.
Huo Yan followed him, holding up her skirt. When she looked up at his tall and majestic figure, her heart beat faster and faster.
His big, dry hand held her hand, and a sense of security she had never felt before arose in her heart.
Huo Yan's eyes suddenly turned red and her nose felt sore. Why hadn't he been so considerate before?
How she wished someone would hold her hand when she crossed the street, not out of fear, but because she felt that this moment would make her feel sweet and warm.
After crossing the road, Zhuang Zhoucheng did not let go of her hand, but still held it tightly and pulled her forward.
In fact, Zhuang Zhoucheng didn't know where to go.
How can this be the direction of the Civil Affairs Bureau?
I just followed her temper and walked with her.
Taking her speed into consideration, Zhuang Zhoucheng walked slowly and did not speak a word.
After walking for a long time, Huo Yan said in a low voice:
"All I ever hoped my partner would do for me was to hold my hand and cross the street. I never thought about how rich or capable he was, I just hoped he truly cared about me. On my birthday, inviting a few close friends over for a good time, a piece of cake, and maybe a few drinks was enough. I never dreamed of a lavish birthday party, inviting so many prominent people to fill the scene, or telling others how prestigious I was. That doesn't belong to me, and forcing it on me wouldn't be appropriate."
Zhuang Zhoucheng held her hand tightly without saying a word.
Huo Yan looked up at the tall and strong man, only seeing part of his profile, and then slowly lowered his head.
"I don't actually have that many ideas. What I want is very simple. I think I can work harder, I can do better, and I can achieve some results. My husband is so outstanding, and I can only be worthy of him if I work harder. He doesn't know how insecure I feel when I stand next to him in public. I also want to make him proud and be proud of him."
Huo Yan spoke slowly, knowing that he would not respond and not expecting him to say anything, he just wanted to say what was in his heart.
"I know I'm selfish. While I'm blaming you, I haven't considered you myself. I'm learning how to love, but I can't seem to do anything well besides my profession. I'm sorry."
The two walked for a long time, and Zhuang Zhoucheng stopped and turned to look at her.
"What else?"
Huo Yan looked at him in a daze, "What?"
"What do you want your other half to do for you, huh?" Zhuang Zhoucheng asked seriously.
Huo Yan took a deep breath. "I like banana splits, and he doesn't restrict me. Instead, he buys them for me. He carries me up the mountain, goes shopping with me, and goes to the movies with me. I never thought he would always be so busy, without even a normal weekend off..."
These were impossible for Zhuang Zhoucheng, and she never expected him to do these for her.
Zhuang Zhoucheng held Huo Yan's hand:
"I promise you all this. A normal weekday off, one day is okay?"
"You don't have to do this. I didn't ask you to do this. I know you're busy..."
Huo Yan's voice was a little low. Isn't this embarrassing for him?
She knew how busy he was, but she couldn't stand him restraining her when he was too busy to take care of her.
"I can do all this, do you still want a divorce?" Zhuang Zhoucheng looked straight at Huo Yan's face and asked seriously.
"..."
Huo Yan didn't say anything. Zhuang Zhoucheng let go of her hand and stood tall in front of her.
"Huo Yan, marriage is not a joke. Have you really decided to divorce because of your momentary anger today? As long as there is no problem in the relationship, what other reason is there to divorce? What do you think?" Zhuang Zhou said honestly.
Both of them calmed down, and talking about this matter at this time was much easier to communicate than before when they were angry.
"I used to think so, but now I know that it's not the case." Huo Yan muttered.
She had never told him that she felt inferior in front of him. She didn't care about it before, but now, whenever he wanted to bring her to an occasion, the first thing everyone asked was his wife's background.
She doesn't have a good family background. If she doesn't work hard, how can she have the confidence to stand by him?
"These problems are emerging now, and there will be more and more in the future..."
"If there's a problem, solve it. Every family has problems to some extent. Our life has just begun, and you back off the moment you encounter a problem. Huo Yan, you're not such a timid person. Try for me once, okay?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at Huo Yan and spoke sincerely, putting aside his status and arrogance. To be precise, he was begging and trying to keep her.
Huo Yan said nothing and slowly lowered his head.
Zhuang Zhou said again:
"I understand you want to study abroad. You can also become a successful and famous graduate student in China as long as you have talent. You can focus on your profession. I promised you that I would not interfere in your affairs, and that still applies. But the prerequisite is that you cannot leave me. Huo Yan, as long as we are separated, there will be no problems. Do you really trust me so much?"
"I haven't thought about this..." Huo Yan said slowly.
Zhuang Zhoucheng looked at her for a long time, then compromised:
"Promise me you'll try your best to adapt to life here. Give it a try. Live here for two months and study at Jingbei for two months. If the learning environment isn't what you want, or if you really can't learn anything, I promise you'll study abroad."
"You promised several times, but you still haven't..."
Huo Yan spoke softly, looked up at him, and quietly exposed his crimes.
"Last year you told me to ask Lu Zeng to apply for admission to Cambridge and Stanford for me, but you didn't... I checked, and only Victoria University had a record, but they've been disqualified now..."
She had been angry before, but now she was much calmer when she talked about it.
"Do you really want to go abroad that much?" Zhuang Zhou asked seriously.
Huo Yan nodded slowly, "I do."
She wants to go out and see the world. Like a frog in a well, she wants to be exposed to different cultural backgrounds and understand different countries. This is her life experience.
Without a certain amount of experience, her designs would not have depth.
"I will seriously consider your request." Zhuang Zhou agreed, but Huo Yan shook his head.
"Have you agreed? Can I apply for it myself?"
"……Can."
Zhuang Zhoucheng spoke after a long pause, "Before you receive the acceptance letter, you can live here and take a trial course at Jingbei to try to adapt. Can you do that?"
"OK, alright."
Huo Yan finally smiled. She felt relieved when she knew that she could do her own thing.
"Are you still getting a divorce?" Zhuang Zhoucheng asked again.
Huo Yan shook his head, walked towards him and hugged him.
"Thank you, Zhuang Zhoucheng."
