Chapter 105: I Want to Get Back Together

Sheng Beiqing had just finished a mission and returned home to find that his wife had divorced him due to his "death."

Out of humanitarian considerations and not wanting to dishearten Sheng Beiqing, the International Federation would absolutely not intervene at this critical moment to submit a petition for Chen Su to divorce Sheng Beiqing and marry someone else.

Even if Zhao Jinzong, an Enigma, submitted an application on Chen Su's behalf, it would have been rejected.

Zhao Jinzong first went abroad and completed an extremely dangerous mission, outshining Sheng Beiqing's accomplishments. Then, in his application, he emphasized that the Federation should follow Chen Su's personal wishes. Finally, because of Sheng Beiqing's extreme behavior of attempting to force and drug Chen Su...

After careful consideration, the International Federation finally delivered the letter of intent to Chen Su.

Unfortunately... in the end, Zhao Jinzong's efforts were all in vain.

Chen Su never actually wanted to marry Zhao Jinzong.

Others might not know, but Sheng Beiqing knew it best.

He knew that even if Chen Su and Zhao Jinzong did it ten thousand times, Chen Su would never marry Zhao Jinzong.

Chen Su loved Zhao Jinzong and was terrified that Zhao Jinzong would despise him once he learned the truth. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for him to hide his omega gender and marry Zhao Jinzong.

Sheng Beiqing deliberately told Chen Su the truth, wanting Chen Su to feel the pain to the marrow, to live with anguish and regret as he watched Zhao Jinzong marry someone else.

Zhao Jinzong had gotten the person Sheng Beiqing couldn't have.

Why should Zhao Jinzong be the one to have him?

Why wouldn't Chen Su let Sheng Beiqing touch him?

Sheng Beiqing was miserable, and he didn't want Chen Su or Zhao Jinzong to be happy either. He wanted Chen Su to spend his life in unending remorse! He wanted Chen Su to be just like him—loving someone he couldn't have!

Chen Su stood frozen on the spot.

It suddenly dawned on him, and he finally understood where the letter of intent had come from.

Before obtaining the letter of intent, Zhao Jinzong had actually asked him.

— Have you ever considered entering another marriage?

— Mm, we'll talk about it when you're free.

Every question Zhao Jinzong asked had its reasons.

It was just that Chen Su hadn't understood—he hadn't seen the many things Zhao Jinzong had done.

Now Chen Su understood, but he understood too late...

Chen Su didn't even know how he managed to walk away. Once he was back in his car, he sat there for a long time, lighting one cigarette after another. He finished a pack, then bought two more to stash in the car.

With no one to keep him in check, Chen Su's smoking addiction had gotten out of control.

He drove home that day and, for the first time in ages, didn't go to the Zhao residence. It was also a rare day when he didn't bother Zhao Jinzong.

Chen Su took out his phone, scrolling through their chat logs and call records—all of which showed him pestering Zhao Jinzong.

Zhao Jinzong had never once called him, only occasionally replying to his messages, and his replies were always curt.

For the next few days, Chen Su didn't go to the Zhao residence.

At the Four Bureaus, rumors were indeed circulating that Zhao Jinzong was getting married.

Old Master Zhao had found him an alpha with a 99% pheromone match rate.

Chen Su came to work every day looking dejected and in low spirits.

Meng Suizhi noticed his change in demeanor and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Meng Suizhi suggested, "Chen Su, you can go ask him."

Chen Su shook his head. "He has no reason to tell me about his private affairs, and I have no right to question him. Besides... I can't even see him now."

"Did you call him?"

"Not recently. A while back, I did... but he didn't say much." Chen Su added, "He's never been talkative."

"Did you text him?"

"Not recently."

Meng Suizhi rubbed his brow. "Chen Su, send him a text and ask. If he doesn't reply, then call him. If he doesn't answer, go to the Zhao family home and ask him face-to-face. You're trying to get him back—at least you should find out how he feels about you. Is it disgust, indifference, or has he already moved on?"

"..."

"Chen Su, you also need to figure out what you really want. Do you just want to make amends, or do you want to get back together?"

"I want us to get back together." Chen Su knew what he wanted and heeded Meng Suizhi's advice.

He sent Zhao Jinzong a text: "Are you getting married?"

Chen Su waited all afternoon but got no reply.

After work in the evening, he went home for dinner and sat in his study for a long time before finally calling Zhao Jinzong.

Zhao Jinzong picked up. "What is it?"

"Um... something came up."

"Hm?"

Chen Su hesitated. "Can I ask you a question?"

Zhao Jinzong shot back, "Work-related?"

Chen Su shook his head. "No."

Zhao Jinzong shut it down. "Then no."

"..."

"Can I come over?"

"No."

"..." Chen Su was quiet, not hanging up. After composing himself, he added, "I was a jerk before. I kept lying to you."

Zhao Jinzong: "..."

Chen Su mumbled, "I used to have a bad temper and always argued with you. Actually, I didn't want to. Sometimes I couldn't control myself."

Zhao Jinzong: "..."

Chen Su: "It's only natural if you hate me..."

Zhao Jinzong cut him off, "Chen Su, what do you want to say?"

Chen Su asked, "Are you getting married?"

"..."

Chen Su looked at a cabinet full of green apple candy and said, "I heard you're getting married, to an alpha who's 99% compatible with you."

"So?"

"..."

"..." Zhao Jinzong hung up the phone.

Chen Su stared at the phone he'd hung up on him, and then at that cabinet full of candy, lost in thought.

At nine thirty in the evening, Chen Su drove to the Zhao family's house to get some straight answers.
