Xiao Jinsheng nodded, gently patting Li's hand in comfort: "This is my issue, I still need to resolve it properly."
"Alright, I'll wait for you here." Reluctantly, Li let go of her.
Xiao Jinsheng walked away with Huaiqing to talk, and their conversation lasted barely more than three minutes.
But when Xiao Jinsheng returned to his side, Li couldn't feel any joy in his heart.
He had a nagging sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, Xiao Jinsheng raised her gaze to him, her eyes full of apology: "Li, I can't divorce them right now."
"Why?" Li asked, wounded.
"I can't tell you the reason, but I… at least for now, I can't divorce them." Xiao Jinsheng lowered her gaze, looking elsewhere.
Li wouldn't accept this. His eyes reddening with tears, he cupped Xiao Jinsheng's face in his hands, forcing her to look at him: "You promised me, you said you would!"
"You're joking right now, aren't you?" Li asked, hope wavering in his voice.
But Xiao Jinsheng's answer would only disappoint him.
