Letting Loose After Marrying A Tycoon

Chapter 217: You Want Your Empire and He Wants Me

Di Rongrong said, “Please sign.”

Hearing this, a dark cloud suddenly gathered in Huo Jing-an’s eyes. A storm flashed across them, but the pair of eyes seemed to lose their temper and instantly softened, when they matched with Di Rongrong eyes that appeared as if they had seen through everything.

“Why did you suddenly decide to get a divorce?” His deep voice sounded very calm and steady.

Di Rongrong said, “I hated you so much back then because of the child’s death. All these years, I’ve never been willing to divorce you. Actually, I’m not angry at you. I’m angry at myself.”

Hearing Di Rongrong mention that child, Huo Jing-an’s pupils quivered slightly.

All these years, she had never mentioned that child. Did she really let go of all that pain and decided to abandon me suddenly by mentioning this sad past?

Huo Jing-an felt very upset, as if he was about to lose the love of his life.

Di Rongrong bent over and wrote her own name on the divorce agreement. As she wrote, she said, “Now, I have decided to let myself off.” She pushed the paper and pen in front of Huo Jing-an. Looking into Huo Jing-an’s unfathomable eyes, Di Rongrong told him, “Huo Jing-an, I will also let you off.”

Huo Jing-an could hear his own heart breaking.

His fingers were trembling as he held his pen, unable to write down his name.

Gazing at Di Rongrong’s fair and beautiful face, Huo Jing-an suddenly asked in a small voice, “Rongrong, if Ruoruo hadn’t been murdered because of me back then, would we have ended up like this?”

Hearing that little angel’s name again, Di Rongrong’s eyes reddened. She looked up at the dazzling chandelier and said hoarsely, “There are no ifs.”

Huo Jing-an’s hands were trembling.

His thoughts uncontrollably drifted back to 20 years ago...

Wangdong City belonged to Mo’an Province and was the provincial capital of it. In Mo’an Province, other than Wangdong City, there were several other cities. Among them, Wei’an City was steeper and had less soil. That summer 20 years ago, a rainstorm fell on Wei’an City. The city area of Wei’an City was flooded and mudslides happened in many villages. Hundreds of villagers were buried.

It was a heart-wrenching natural disaster. At that time, the leaders of Weian City were dismissed, because they were unable to guide the rescue team after the disaster, so Huo Jing-an was ordered to go to Weian City to guide the team.

Huo Jing-an, who was in the midst of a rapid rise in his career, spent all day and night at the disaster site guiding the reconstruction work. As a result, he neglected his family.

At that time, Di Rongrong was still in confinement after giving birth.

Knowing that Huo Jing-an was trying to save the country and the people, and knowing that he was working very hard, Di Rongrong also behaved very considerately. She was alone at home during her confinement period and had a nanny to help her cook, so she was not tired at all.

But Huo Jing-an had too many enemies. He was at the front line directing the reconstruction of the disaster, but his enemies had secretly entered his house and kidnapped Di Rongrong and their child.

The enemy asked Di Rongrong to call Huo Jing-an and get her to pass on a request: As long as Huo Jing-an was willing to resign and promise never to enter the government again, they would let Di Rongrong and their daughter Ruoruo off.

But Huo Jing-an was very busy and didn’t have the time to answer the call.

Di Rongrong made five consecutive calls and Huo Jing-an finally picked up. But he didn’t give her a chance to speak and told her, “I have a leader inspecting my work here. Rongrong, I will call you tonight.”

Then, Huo Jing-an called.

Di Rongrong waited for Huo Jing-an’s call for 10 hours. The next morning, Huo Jing-an didn’t return her call. He was so busy that he had long forgotten his promise to Di Rongrong that afternoon...

By the time the Huo Family found Di Rongrong, she was already at her last breath. At that time, she was still carrying her dead and stiff daughter. Luckily, the medical team was capable enough to save Di Rongrong’s life.

When Huo Jing-an hurried back to Wangdong City and went to the hospital, he saw Di Rongrong’s lifeless eyes and blamed himself bitterly. He knelt down in front of Di Rongrong’s bed, slapped himself in tears, confessed in tears, and begged for her forgiveness.

But Di Rongrong never looked at Huo Jing-an again.

From then on, this loving couple became strangers.
