Back in the guest room, He Ling was both anxious and uneasy.
He got up late at night and went to the master bedroom. He saw Gong Qin sleeping quietly on the left side of the bed.
He couldn’t sleep all night, yet Gong Qin was already sound asleep.
He slept on his side and didn’t even ‘cross the line’ at all.
He Ling smoked on the balcony all night long, but he regretted it as soon as the sun came out the next day.
His principles had no meaning in front of Gong Qin.
To be able to maintain their previous life, he shouldn’t try to find an answer, or to investigate.
People shouldn’t be too greedy, he was the one who first chased Gong Qin, what more could he demand?
He had kept Gong Qin by his side for seven years. If Gong Qin still didn’t love him, what else could he do?

In that case… Gong Qin should be used to him and his life now.

In the morning, He Ling didn’t kiss Gong Qin. Gong Qin didn’t kiss him.
Before going out, He Ling didn’t pester Gong Qin for a kiss. Gong Qin put on his clothes and went out directly.
At noon, He Ling didn’t go to Gong Qin’s place to eat. Gong Qin didn’t even call him.
In the evening, He Ling didn’t pick him up. Gong Qin went home by himself.
The more you tried, the more you saw the cruelest reality.
Gong Qin didn’t love him.
He Ling went to the club on purpose today.
He knew that at this time of the week, Gong Qin would go there and get together with his friends.
Ten years felt like a day, and he would still follow his schedule no matter what.
Over the past seven years, He Ling felt the proudest over the ring on his ring finger.
Each time someone started to flirt with him, he felt itchy to show the ring off in front of their eyes and to seriously tell them how excellent his partner was.
Basically, as soon as he opened his mouth, the other party would be ashamed of themselves and took the initiative to leave.
For the first time, he didn’t tell the other person that Gong Qin was good. Instead, he just sat there listening to the other person talked.
In fact, what the man said, He Ling didn’t hear at all. He was just thinking about Gong Qin, wondering whether Gong Qing would care even a little bit.
Even though it wasn’t because of love, even though it was only because of fear that he would leave.
Unfortunately, there was nothing.
Gong Qin didn’t come over, there wasn’t even a phone call or a text message.
Gong Qin obviously saw him and knew that he wasn’t working, but he didn’t even ask a question.
There were only three words buzzing inside He Ling’s mind.
In a cold voice, Gong Qin said those three words —— I don’t care.
Gong Qin didn’t care about what he did.
He loves Gong Qin and Gong Qin didn’t care; He didn’t love Gong Qin and Gong Qin still didn’t care.
He Ling smoked and drank in the evening. When he came back, he saw the calm Gong Qin.
He couldn’t help it.
He didn’t want Gong Qin to be so calm, he didn’t want Gong Qin to be so serene, he didn’t want Gong Qin to not care at all!
Knowing that Gong Qin didn’t like the smell of smoke and alcohol, He Ling purposefully kissed him.
Gong Qin gave him a punch, and the taste of blood in his mouth woke He Ling up.
From a dream in which he was trying so hard to shut his ears and close his eyes; A dream which even if there was a roar of thunder outside, he would be unwilling to wake up from.
“Let’s get divorced.” When He Ling said this sentence, his heart seemed to be cut into pieces.
Gong Qin said: “Fine, let’s divorce.”
They’re just bad at expressing their own feelings, my heart is aching for them 
aii please tell me its going to get better soon..this is leaving me with such a sinking feeling in my stomach…lol but i can’t stopppp…..thank you for the chapter!
i’m guessing for every story the expression i would have would be
“urgh these two” isnt it?
lor
thanks for the chapter ^_^
I really want to bash their heads together 😤
Thanks for the chapter ❤
( ＿ ＿)ノ｜ these two… I can’t…
That’s why overthinking isn’t always a good thing 😕
Ya so bad at expressing themselves!! 😔
I blame GQ more, seven years yet HL can’t think of one-moment his partner had explicitly shown affection for him on his own accord?
+1. GQ not taking initiative to text, call, not taking initiative with anything, and most importantly not telling his lover he love him, not even once? If I was in HL’s shoes, I’d feel the same. It’s really GQ who’s at fault here.
He Ling is the idiot to me. Although Gong Qin should not be so indifferent, it’s not like he changed. He Ling knew GQ was this way before he started to pursue him, he married him knowing this. If he wanted to know, he should have asked. This is why it’s stupid to test your lover. If you cannot trust them, then ask them, if can’t do either, then why are you even with them?
this misunderstanding really kills me QAQ talk, okay??!! thank u for the chapter~
I don’t really understand why most are saying they both have equal fault. I’m sorry, but the one at fault here is Gong Qin. You can’t expect another person to 100% understand you when you don’t even try to communicate. 7 years and not a single ‘I love you’? Man, that’s rough on the other party especially if the other party is the one initiating everything. The relationship is super unbalanced. This isn’t just ‘bad at expressing’, Gong Qin is just being a taker in this relationship. Communication is a two-way street.
I’m not a fan of Gong Qin… 😐 From my perspective everything oryginated from him and his every action hurts his husband
No, they’re not bad at expressing their own feelings. Only Gong Qing is bad. He Ling already went above and beyond.
