Chapter 126: Impossible to Reconcile

Haunted by the assassination attempt overseas years ago, Song Ling often suffered from nightmares. During those restless nights, it was Gu Dai's soft whispers that lulled him back to sleep.

When he woke up, however, he would feel embarrassed and lash out at her.

He acknowledged that Gu Dai had always been good to him, but the thought that she was materialistic sickened him, sharpening his attitude toward her even further.

Gu Dai would often hold back tears, offering him a forced smile without a single word of complaint, only to continue treating him kindly.

All of this began to change when Jiang Yue returned to the country. When he once again suggested a divorce to Gu Dai, she agreed without hesitation. Initially, he thought it was some kind of manipulative ploy on her part, but her agreement was genuine. Now, the warmth that once filled her gaze when she looked at him had vanished.
