Chapter 1030: Impossible To Get A Divorce

The last question Lu Xingzhi asked was almost in a hushed voice. He was terrified when he heard the word divorce from Commissar Wang. He was afraid that Jiang Yao would feel aggrieved and angry about the matter. She might be so mad that she would not want to live with him anymore.

Jiang Yao had probably never felt so much grief in her entire life. The army hinted that Jiang Yao was a vixen. Lu Xingzhi knew about the rumor. That was why he was afraid that Jiang Yao would not be able to endure such rumors and wanted a divorce to prove her innocence.

“Jiang Yao, listen to me carefully. We can never get a divorce!” Lu Xingzhi could not wait for Jiang Yao’s reply before he growled at her. “You can’t die either!”

Jiang Yao was shocked by Lu Xingzhi’s growl. She raised her hand and pinched his arm. Then, when she realized that many people were looking at them, she cried out loud, “What else can I do except divorcing you? Did you hear what the people in the army are saying about me? What’s wrong with me? When have I ever interfered with you and another woman? I’m also a woman. I also have dignity and pride. Did you hear what they say about me? This is even sadder than asking me to die!”

“Some people can’t bear to see us living a peaceful life as a couple. They say that I’m a bad woman behind my back, but who would believe that I’m innocent? Other than divorcing you, what else can I use to prove myself?” After Jiang Yao said that, she pushed Lu Xingzhi away and ran all the way home.

Lu Xingzhi was stunned for a few seconds before he chased after her hurriedly.

Those who pretended to pass by them finally stopped. When they looked at the couple who had already left, someone said, “Mrs Lu is too pitiful. She’s such a good person. How can she be the vixen that those women mentioned?”

“That’s right. These people who talk nonsense are too detestable. Are they trying to force Mrs Lu to divorce her husband? Look at how she was crying. I feel so much for her. If someone spoke of my wife like that, I would kill them!”

Jiang Yao ran home as she cried. Lu Xingzhi chased her all the way home. He was upset because of Jiang Yao’s anxiety. As soon as he got home, he closed the door. However, before he could talk to Jiang Yao, he saw that she had already poured herself a cup of water and gulped several mouthfuls like she was fine.

“The water is cold. So drink less and drink slowly.” Lu Xingzhi walked forward and snatched her cup away. “Next time, I’ll get you a thermos cup.”

“I’m too thirsty. I cried all the way home. I have to rehydrate myself!” Jiang Yao stomped her feet coquettishly to anger Lu Xingzhi and snatched the cup away from him.

Lu Xingzhi was relieved when he saw that Jiang Yao was still acting coquettishly with him. His wife had put on an act; she did not want to divorce him.

Even though Lu Xingzhi had guessed it, he had been really scared when Jiang Yao had quarreled with him.

“Don’t scare me like that in the future!” Lu Xingzhi raised his hand angrily and knocked on Jiang Yao’s head. When Jiang Yao covered her head angrily as she glared at him, he bent down and kissed her angry face.

“Do you really think I’m stupid enough to divorce you to prove our innocence?” Jiang Yao stepped on Lu Xingzhi’s foot. “Am I such a stupid person? Even if someone puts a knife to my neck and asks me to divorce you, I won’t even think about it, let alone for such a small matter!”
