“Huh?”

How did that happen?!

Song Shou scratched his head in confusion but did not ask any further. It was at least some good news.

He nodded. “Come with me.”

Along the way to Huo Chen, they passed by a few buildings and saw many other soldiers.

However, they did not greet her warmly and with respect as they did before. Instead, they simply looked at her.

It was a look of anger, revulsion, and veiled hostility.

Wen He looked down and asked quietly, “Song Shou, do you hate me as well?”

Song Shou was taken aback.

“Ma’am, I believe in my superior’s choice.”

He was shaken by Wen He’s true identity at first, but his trust in Huo Chen remained stolid.

Since Huo Chen had chosen her, she must be not a terrible person.

“Thank you.”

Wen He smiled briefly.

Song Shou might accept her, but that did not mean others would.

Oh, Huo Chen...

As Z Country’s brave young soldier, he was like a god put on a pedestal by the country’s people.

She, on the other hand, was a tainted woman.

They were like the angel and the devil, destined to different worlds with no hope of ever being together.

“We’re here.”

Song Shou brought her to a building and led her inside to a confinement room.

The room was designed like a normal jail, but it was humid and pitch black inside like the depth of the abyss.

It was used to punish soldiers who committed wrongdoing.

When the lights were switched on, Wen He saw Huo Chen.

He was locked inside one of the cells, sitting up straight on a simply wooden bed. He looked characteristically detached and impassive.

There was only a slight frown on his face that betrayed his vexation. When the light came on, he narrowed his eyes uncomfortably.

“... Huo Chen.”

Wen He approached his cell and grabbed the bars with her left hand.

“Wen He?”

Huo Chen was taken by surprise. He ignored his discomfort from the sudden burst of light in the room and looked toward her. A smile lit up his face when he finally saw her.

He stood up and went to her quickly. He put one hand around hers on the bars and sighed.

“I just know that you will force your way in here.”

“...”

Wen He simply smiled at him and did not comment.

Huo Chen did not seem to notice the torment in her eyes. He slipped his fingers between hers and smiled lovingly at her.

“When will you learn to listen to orders?”

Wen He nearly burst out crying when she heard that.

She smiled even wider and spoke chokingly.

“How will I listen when you are not around?”

“I am fine.”

Huo Chen continued speaking with the story he had prepared.

“Do you remember Sha Kang from the Golden Triangle? I thought you were dead back then and killed him despite orders from the commander. As punishment, the commander decided to lock me up for some time.” He smiled and said, “This will take a few months at least. Are you touched?”

Tears finally escaped her eyes when she heard him spout lies so easily to her.

This man...

Had she not found out what happened from Yang Yi, she may just accept everything he said as the truth.

Song Shou bowed his head deeply and remained silent.

“Don’t cry.”

Huo Chen could not bear to see her sad. He reached out to wipe away her tears and looked at her tenderly.

“Not to worry, this is only temporary. Just wait for me at home. Once I am released, we will have a wedding.”

Chapter 839: This was Her Fate

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

God knew that she wanted to just nod and say yes.

But she could not.

“Huo Chen, come closer.”

Huo Chen did as she asked. Then, Wen He reached her arm out and pulled him closer to give him a long and sensuous kiss.

He was taken by surprise, but quickly kissed back. As the lovers were engrossed with each other, Song Shou took a few steps back and tried to blend into the background.

Soon, the kiss ended.

Suddenly, Huo Chen noticed the sorrow and hurt in her eyes and felt a wave of ill premonition. Nevertheless, he teased her and said, “It’s only been a few days, but you have become so passionate.”

“Is that right?”

Wen He caressed his face and watched him affectionately, enveloping him in loving warmth.

He softened further and tucked a few loose strands of her hair behind the ear. When he was about to speak again, Wen He abruptly stepped back and away from him.

Then, she said something that left him greatly dismayed.

“Huo Chen, let’s break up.”

“...”

Huo Chen’s eyes widened and his face contorted. His grip on the cell bars tightened!

“Do you understand what you are saying?!”

He began to realize what was going on and shot a fierce look at Song Shou, who shuddered. “I’m sorry, sir, the commander...”

“I see.”

Huo Chen cut him off and looked at Wen He. He asked quietly, “Do you know everything?”

“Yeah.”

Wen He pursed her lips. “I do.”

She looked straight into his twinkling eyes and put on a facade to hide her feelings.

“Huo Chen, I am not trying to advise you or anything. You know exactly how important this is. Perhaps it is providence that we are destined never to be together, so let us go our separate ways. You should not ruin the rest of your life because of a woman like me.”

Instead of retorting, Huo Chen asked, “Do you remember what I said to you when I put the ring on your finger? Do you remember how you replied?”

You are never to leave my side, no matter what happens!

Yes, sir!

Wen He swallowed when she realized that he had anticipated this, but did not back down from asking her to marry him.

“I am sorry that I cannot keep that promise,” she replied hoarsely and shook her head.

“You can’t!”

Huo Chen cried in a rage. Only the cell bars stopped him from going to his wife.

“I would have given up on us if that’s what I wanted. We have been through so much and finally got together, but now you are saying that you want to give up? I’m telling you, that is not happening!”

Wen He shut her eyes and said helplessly, “I have no other choice.”

She could not allow Huo Chen to lose everything because of her. That would be too selfish.

Besides, even if they could be together, he might regret his decision some time in the future. That would lead to endless arguments and regret between them.

It was better to end things now than having a stressful life together.

“Huo Chen, let me return this to you.”

Wen He took off the diamond ring from her finger and put it on the floor.

It felt like someone had wrested her heart out in that moment, for she felt so empty and cold inside.

She ignored his angry glare and turned away from him.

“Today is the last time we will ever see each other. I am sorry to say this to you again, but... please do not think of me.”

This was her fate, perhaps.
