Chapter 1719

~3 min read 596 words

Wang Liu said, "But I've been married to him for several years, and he's always been like this, never changed. I really can't take it anymore."

Su Xinghui didn't expect that Wang Liu, such a bright and beautiful female announcer, would have such an unhappy life. No wonder she often stayed on the street alone at night.

For an internet-addicted youth like Xiao Xinlin, to be honest, Su Xinghui had no good way. The man wasn't breaking the law, just being playful. But he knew how unhappy such a marriage was; living with such a person was simply suffering.

But Su Xinghui couldn't persuade Wang Liu to divorce now. The Chinese tradition was to persuade people to stay together rather than separate. As the saying goes, *It is better to tear down ten temples than to destroy one marriage. * Moreover, he was Wang Liu's male superior; if he persuaded Wang Liu to divorce, it would be very easy for others to think he had ulterior motives.

Su Xinghui said, "No matter what, go home tonight. Who knows how much your daughter is crying."

Wang Liu sighed, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said, "Fine, County Magistrate Su, I'll listen to you. I'll go home, but I still want to sit here for a while."

Su Xinghui breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Liu finally agreed to go back, so he would just sit here with her for a while.

Wang Liu looked at the moon in the sky, her eyes dazed, and she chanted softly: "The waning moon hangs on the sparse paulownia tree; the water clock stops, and the people are quiet. From time to time, I see a lonely person coming and going, a faint, solitary wild goose shadow."

Wang Liu was chanting a famous poem by Su Shi. She was chanting the first part. Su Xinghui naturally knew the second part too. These lines were: "Startled, I look back, with hatred and no one to understand. I pick all the cold branches but refuse to perch, lonely on the sandbar, cold."

However, Su Xinghui couldn't respond to the second part, so he could only listen and sit with Wang Liu.

Wang Liu chanting these lines at this time was very appropriate. This poem expressed Su Shi's lonely state of mind of self-exaltation, hoping for a confidant who understood his heart.

And in this marriage, hadn't Wang Liu tasted loneliness? She and her husband had absolutely no common language, and she also longed for a confidant.

Could Su Xinghui respond to such a poem?

After a long time, Wang Liu turned to Su Xinghui and asked, "County Magistrate Su, do you really not want me to divorce?"

Looking at Wang Liu's shining eyes, Su Xinghui's heart skipped a beat. He pondered for a long time and answered solemnly, "Wang Liu, I hope you have a happy marriage. But since you are already married, don't mention divorce easily. Marriage needs to be managed by both sides."

Wang Liu sighed, "I understand. I'm going home."

Su Xinghui stood up and said, "I'll send you back."

Wang Liu walked very slowly, and the two were silent all the way. Su Xinghui sent Wang Liu to the entrance of her building. Wang Liu waved at Su Xinghui and walked toward the building. Suddenly, she turned back, ran to Su Xinghui, and hugged him tightly. Su Xinghui was stiff all over, not knowing what to do.

Fortunately, a few seconds later, Wang Liu let go of him and ran into the building. ===== CHAPTER 1721 =====
