Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Repay Life 7_1

He stood for a while in the ward and Lin Chan knew that He Teng had something to say to He Zhilan. So, she ushered everyone out of the ward, leaving the couple alone.

He Zhilan looked at him and guessed, "Is the military urgently asking for you to return?"

Last time, on National Day, He Teng received an urgent assignment and had to leave. He had the same expression when he had to exit earlier to make a phone call to the military; And so, He Zhilan guessed that this time, there was likely another urgent assignment.

"Yes," He Teng nodded in agreement, "I don’t trust anyone else to take care of you, so, I didn’t agree."

"What do you have to worry about? The doctor said I can be discharged from the hospital for convalescence tomorrow. Lin Chan and everyone else is here, they can handle Gu En’s matters. If the military needs you, you should go." He Zhilan shook her head gently, "You’ve taken two leaves to come to the capital in these recent days, won’t that affect things at the military?"

He Teng didn’t utter a sound, sitting on the chair. Seeing that He Zhilan’s lips were a bit dry, he poured a glass of water for her. But He Zhilan shook her head, not drinking it. He didn’t say anything and just put the glass back on the table.

After a while, He Teng suddenly looked at He Zhilan seriously, as if he had made up his mind, "After I return to the military, I will take back the divorce application. We will not divorce."

Paused for a moment, He Teng saw that He Zhilan looked slightly surprised, he continued, "This mission is in several provinces near the capital, I don’t know how long it will take. If you want me to stay by your side during this time, I’ll discuss it with the military."

"No need," He Zhilan shook her head, "You’ve just been promoted to company commander, it’s not good for you."

That was one reason, and the other reason was that He Zhilan wanted to...

"Let’s continue with the divorce, don’t take back the application. And you don’t have to accompany me. Let me be alone for a while." She didn’t look at He Teng while saying this, but at a place behind him.

She knew that when she said those words, He Teng’s eyes showed some fluctuations. But she also knew that He Teng proposed not to divorce at this time because he was worried about the myriad of issues she was dealing with and her ability to cope. That didn’t mean that the estrangement between them did not exist.

"Brother, the process of people getting married is acquaintance, coexistence, falling in love, and then marriage. But for us, we got married directly after acquaintance, without the necessary time to live together. I know, for you, most of it is out of responsibility, you are following the trajectory of life. If it hadn’t been me, you would have accepted anyone. You don’t even trust me anymore, so our marriage would eventually have problems."

The people hiding outside and eavesdropping pushed open the door in anxiety.

"Zhilan, have you gone mad?" Jiang Biyun and Chen Xiting looked at He Zhilan in confusion.

He Zhilan didn’t respond to the people outside. Instead, she finally mustered up the courage to look at He Teng directly. Looking at his unreadable eyes, He Zhilan felt a choking sensation.

"Brother, so, since we’ve already reached this point, let’s just get a divorce." Right now, He Zhilan’s mood was exceptionally calm. It wasn’t because He Teng had mentioned divorce first that she felt it was a done deal. She just didn’t want to trap each other in marriage. She didn’t want to make He Teng feel obligated to be responsible or good to her because of marriage.
