Huo Gaodi was really fed up with Duan Zhuangyu. He initially wanted to use this situation as an excuse to propose a divorce to her, but Auntie Jiang was right. If he brought it up now, it would just fuel the resentment with Old Four and his wife. Considering how vengeful Duan Zhuangyu could be, he really couldn't afford to gamble.
He took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, tapped it a few times against the wall, pulled one out, lit it, took a gentle puff, exhaled a few smoke rings, and let out a deep sigh.
He really couldn't understand how his life had turned out this way. Not only did he feel stifled, but even his family couldn't find peace. Now things were worse, and he had stirred up such a big mess.
With determination, he clenched his right hand hanging at his side and punched the wall hard. He resolved that once Duan Zhuangyu gave birth and finished her postpartum confinement, he would put the divorce on the agenda. He didn't want the rest of his life to be so suffocating.
