ATSWM Chapter 25.8

Chapter 25.8 Breaking Off The Marriage Contract

    “King Han, I will consider it.” Sang Yuanyuan nodded politely, “Can you let go of your hold now?” 

   At this moment, if she said anything like severing all relationships with him, it would only seem as if she still cared about the past and was angry with him. 

   Her calmness in Han Shaoling’s eyes, only served to make him feel all the more heartbroken. 

   He clearly realized that this woman actually didn’t care about his affairs at all. Whether it was old affection or Meng Wuyou, had no effect on her at all. 

   He still held on to her hand, as if grasping the last life-saving straw. 

   Crown Prince Sang came forward and pry open his fingers one by one. 

   His fingers turned white. Unwilling to part, he looked at the red finger marks that he had made on the back of her hand. 

   “Since you have divorced, why bother to feign such gestures?” Crown Prince Sang sneered, “Playing cat and mouse, retreat for the sake of advancing, these couple of words, it’s better for King Han to keep it nicely by himself! So as to avoid others joking about it.” 

   Han Shaoling smiled bitterly, his black eyes firmly stared at Sang Yuanyuan’s face. 

   The female Emperor happily said : “Since ancient times, even heroes fall for beauties. King Han, this Emperor really can’t understand it. Why do you wait until you’ve lost it before you learn to cherish it?” 

   “It’s all my fault.” Han Shaoling hangs his head down. 

   “Never mind.” The moist and plump red lips of the female Emperor, which has been smeared with rouge,  curled up slightly, “When one was young, fooling around may after all be regarded as being sentimental. This Emperor wants to see, in the end, who is the lucky fellow that can finally win the beauty back. ”

   She gently touched her forehead with her fingertips. Han Shaoling and the two siblings withdraw tactfully. 

   In front of Han Shaoling, Sang Yuanyuan did not show her joyful and delighted appearance. She was chatting with Crown Prince Sang casually, and pretended that she didn’t know Han Shaoling was following behind them in despair. 

   On his own accord, Han Shaoling escorted the Sang clan’s pair of brother and sister to the hall where King Sang temporarily stayed. 

   The One Heart Contract has been destroyed, but that scar seems to have been burned onto his heart. 

   The empty places around it were filled with regret. 

   If he was more attentive towards her and didn’t go touch that Meng Wuyou, then this cloud in front of him, which was drifting farther and farther away, would it fall into his palm cool and refreshingly? 

   Reminiscing about all kinds of things in the past, the unwillingness in his heart is like being drowned by the seaquake. Such a good woman, how can he be willing to let go? 

   Seeing the large wooden door that was filled with carvings from the ceiling to the ground, closing in front of his eyes, he slowly clenched his fist and made a fierce determination. 

   “Go, make a gilded half mask and burn it on Meng Wuyou’s face. Do not come back to see me before it’s done. ” 

   Han Shaoling already has a faint feeling. Meng Wuyou, this woman, seemed to have received some kind of special protection. It was extremely difficult to hurt her. Facing that woman, he would always be inexplicably bewitched and rolled onto the bed unconsciously. 

   So, the one he sent out was Han Eldest. A natural killing tool that has no emotion at all. 

   When the King of a state entered Tiandu to have an audience with the Emperor, finishing the whole heavy and complex etiquette will take three days. 

   During these three days, Sang Yuanyuan would catch a sight of Han Shaoling’s figure from time to time. 

   He has become a lot more haggard. If it was not because he still has to deal with various offerings to Gods and ancestors, he would probably not even shaved the stubble. Sometimes he would gazed at her from afar, and when she looked back, he would hastily turn around.
