Chapter 7

"Really? Then I'm happy to accompany you," Zhao Yun said with a bitter smile. "I hope we can be… friends forever…."

Zhao Yun was in so much pain when he said that. 

Of course, he didn't want to be 'friend' with his wife. They were married for so long and even had an adult son now. Of course, he wanted them to be together.

But if that would scare his wife, then Zhao Yun had no other choice…

"Friends?" Bai Yunyu scoffed. "I don't think we can be friends, Yun Ge."

"W—Why not? Did I offend you somehow?" Zhao Yun asked. He got anxious and tried to recall all of his interactions with Yunyu so far. He didn't remember ever having an argument with him.

All he did was to please Yunyu so his wife would let him stay.

"No, you didn't offend me at all. You brought nothing but joy to me so far…." Yunyu replied. "But if I let you be my friend, would we stay friends forever? I doubt that…."

"I—I just want to be your friend, I promise."
