One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 568 - 566 Love Burned to Ashes (Part 6)

"Really agree to the divorce?"The orphanage director came out from the house with a cup of tea, a smile of seeing through everything on her face.

Huo Junting stood with one hand in his pocket in front of the big tree, smiling as he took the tea she handed over, "Agreed, but she’ll have to wait until she finishes her studies."

"How many more years does the little chubby have to study?"

The director didn’t expect their bond to be so deep. They liked sticking together when they were young, and inexplicably ran into each other when they grew up. She had always thought the little chubby was called Yuan Yuqi, but didn’t expect the Yuan parents would later swap the children’s names.

Huo Junting chuckled, "That depends on her. It won’t be easy to graduate if she just goes through the motions. A year should be enough if she’s serious."

"Mo Mo—" the director suddenly spoke earnestly, "You’re preparing to be the one flying the kite, yet the string is in your hand, and eventually, she’ll have to come back."

"Heh." The man chuckled lightly, but the brilliance in his eyes shone like daylight, "Perhaps I’m just being cowardly."

"I can bet on anything but not on her."

"Director, you said the string is in my hand, but it’s never been. The kite string has always been in her hand."

"She feels nothing for me, so having her bodily doesn’t do any good. It’s better to let her go."

"Director, could you please burn down this tree!"

"..."

The director was a bit puzzled by his meaning, but then she understood, "Mo Mo, you probably don’t know one thing. Remember that frail and sickly child?"

"You mean the boy who stayed at our orphanage for a while but didn’t like to talk, remember?"

At this, Huo Junting had some recollection, though not deep. The boy was very thin, always sitting in a wheelchair. Initially, they all thought he was lame. One time, the little chubby’s ball rolled to his feet, and he got up to return it to her. It was only then they realized he could walk.

"Yes, I remember, that kid was quite unsociable and taciturn. What’s up?"

"Ah! Actually, that child is Ye Zheng!"

Huo Junting’s pupils suddenly contracted, his heart felt a heavy shock, but soon he burst out laughing, "So it was him, no wonder..."

Everything seemed to make sense.

Some fates were destined long ago.

Ye Zheng, did you recognize her in an instant?

...

The Huo Family.

Yuan Yumeng didn’t expect that Huo Junting would really agree to the divorce. Although it was after she completed her studies, she was already very grateful he agreed.

"Madam, must it be this way?" Sister-in-law Zhang was really reluctant, almost crying.

Yuan Yumeng temporarily put down the clothes she hadn’t organized yet and turned to hold Sister-in-law Zhang’s hand, "Don’t you want to see me return to my original self?"

"Of course I do." Sister-in-law Zhang replied firmly, "But doing this means you won’t see Sir anymore."

"Pff." Yuan Yumeng burst into laughter, "Staying here and not seeing him makes no difference, right?"

"This..." Sister-in-law Zhang suddenly found herself at a loss for words, "As long as Madam doesn’t leave, I believe Sir won’t be like that anymore in the future."

Yuan Yumeng smiled helplessly, "Sister-in-law Zhang, I know what you’re thinking, but he and I really... it’s just not possible!"

"Madam, if you look with your heart, you’ll find that Sir isn’t inferior to that Mr. Ye." Sister-in-law Zhang seemed a bit agitated.

"I know! But matters of emotion aren’t about survival of the fittest, right?"

If it were that easy to choose, there wouldn’t be so many lovesick men and women in the world.

Sister-in-law Zhang wiped her tears, "Then Madam, you must come back early."

"Of course, I’m planning to finish my studies in a year—"

If she doesn’t strive to graduate early, she will have to continue bearing the title of Mrs. Huo, which is quite odd when she thinks about it.

She still remembered when she brought up the divorce with him, he gave this condition, and when she asked why, he replied, "If anyone bullies you, just throw out this identity, it should be useful."

A real... capitalist flair.

After organizing her clothes, Yuan Yumeng walked out of the room together with Sister-in-law Zhang. She watched the door slowly close, feeling a tinge of reluctance. After all, this was a place where she had lived for more than a year.

But parting is inevitable!
