“I can’t promise you love, and I’ll have no other woman but you,” he said.
I thought it would be okay. Even if he didn’t love me, I thought my love would make our marriage happy. But I'm very naive to think he will love me even for once.
Because Lou Jiang, Juan Yihe's first love, returned with a kid.
“Lou Jiang is trying to make her child the heir of the Juan family,” he told me.
“Let’s get a divorce,” I said.
I decided to leave or even abandon him.

“What?” he said.
Yihe’s eyes shook violently as if he didn’t understand my words. His agitation, seen for the first time for some reason, relieved me.
I opened my lips to him again with a soft smile: “I want to leave you. So Yihe, let’s stop now. I'm tired of waiting for you to love me, even for once or just a little, so let's divorce.”
I thought so, waiting for him to love me even a little after five years of our marriage. Even if he didn't love me, it's okay; I'll endure it. But then I saw him with his first love and even a kid who was exactly the same as him in his childhood. And yeah, at that time, I thought it was time for me to leave him or even leave this country that's put me in pain to start a new life; it was the end of a long, unrequited love.
