After being bound by the system, Bai Yueguang and I reunited

Chapter 455 Before Dawn: New and Old

system space.

[Wow, host, look, you look so golden now! ] Xiaoyao shouted excitedly.

Chaoge was startled and lowered his eyes slightly to look at himself.

The golden light was visible, just as Xiaoyao said.

She chuckled and held the furry white ball in her arms, slowly transferring some of the power of merit to it.

Xiaoyao raised his head in her arms, [Host, the power of merit is hard to come by, not to mention that it also contains the power of faith. Don't give it to me, absorb it yourself! ]

Chaoge【Don't worry.】

Chaoge stopped only after the white fluffy layer on Xiaoyao's body became shiny and smooth under the nourishment of energy.

After a moment of silence, Chaoge said, "Xiaoyao."

【Um? 】

Her eyes curved, "When I have finished what I need to do, take me to the tasker exchange area to play!"

Xiaoyao suddenly became excited. When it comes to this, he has countless topics to talk about.

[Host, you are finally willing to go! You don't know, the exchange area is fun, it's called Wanjie City! You can tell what it does just by the name, the taskers from all the worlds will trade in the city...]

"I want to divorce you."

Before I regained consciousness, a decisive sentence reached my ears.

Chaoge slowly opened his eyes.

The man had a handsome face and a resolute expression. He was wearing a white suit with only the top button of his shirt buttoned.

Noticing Chaoge's gaze, the man's eyes softened slightly, but were very firm.

"Chaoge, please divorce me!"

At this moment, Mrs. Zhao, who was shocked by her son's words, suddenly reacted.

She slapped Zhao Wenyu on the back, "You evil creature, you evil creature! What are you talking about!"

Madam Zhao was very emotional. "What has Chaoge done to you that you divorced her as soon as you came back? How can you let her live after this happened?"

As she spoke, Mrs. Zhao began to cry, turned around and held Chaoge's hand tightly.

"I don't care. I only recognize Chaoge as my daughter-in-law. If you want to divorce me, drive your mother away too!"

Zhao Wenyu was not threatened by his mother's words, "Mom, it's a divorce, not a divorce."

"What's the difference?" Mrs. Zhao spoke in a very loud voice, and was so angry that she didn't even care about her dignity as a lady of a wealthy family.

"Have you lost your mind after a few years of drinking Western knowledge? You learned to pursue true love from those questionable people, and now you turn around and despise your wife who takes care of the housework for you?"

"Don't you know what kind of world we live in nowadays? Do you really want to force your wife to death by doing this?"

Madam Zhao pointed at him and said, "If you do something so ungrateful and mean, today, I will work with your father to kick you out of the house!"

Mr. Zhao, who was sitting on the chair with a solemn face, nodded immediately after hearing his wife's words, "Yes, your mother is right. My Zhao family will not tolerate ungrateful people!"

Zhao Wenyu sighed helplessly.

He couldn't help but raise his broad palm and press it on his aching temple. While he was thinking about how to get things done smoothly, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Chaoge's calm eyes.

There was a drizzle outside, and the old house also exuded an old atmosphere in the rainy day.

The young girl stood there upright, like a tree that had gone through the years, her pupils clear and bright, reflecting everything in the world.

Zhao Wenyu put down his hand. "This matter concerns Chaoge and I. Dad, Mom, can you let me talk to Chaoge first?"

Mrs. Zhao refused without even raising her head.

"No! No way!" She became emotional again. "Why, you can't persuade us two old guys, so you want to threaten Chaoge? You are such a piece of shit!"

Zhao Wenyu: “…”

"Why am I like this in your minds?" He smiled bitterly.

Just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted by Mrs. Zhao again.

"If you have anything to say, say it here!"

Zhao Wenyu: "Mother..."

At this moment, Chaoge stepped forward and supported the emotional Madam Zhao, "Mother, let me talk to Wen Yu alone."

Mrs. Zhao hesitated for a moment, "If this brat deceives you..."

Chaoge smiled faintly, "Don't worry."

After comforting Zhao's parents, Chaoge and Zhao Wenyu walked out of the yard together and stood under the eaves.

It was drizzling, and the air was filled with the smell of wet grass from the soil.

"Chao Ge, I have considered it seriously for a long time before making the decision to divorce. I am serious about it."

He sighed softly, looking at her who was still young, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

Chaoge came to the Zhao family when she was nine years old and became his child bride. Before she could experience the taste of childhood, she married him at the age of fifteen and became a young lady in name only.

This year, she is only just turning twenty years old.

"I want to know the reason." Chaoge just asked one question.

Zhao Wenyu's eyes flashed and he turned his head away to conceal his mistake.

He stuttered, "I... Chaoge, I am now a university teacher, but you have never been to school and have never read any books. You can no longer keep up with me."

"And we're not really a proper couple."

Zhao Wenyu couldn't help but persuade him, "After we get divorced, you will be free, Chaoge, and you can make your own decisions, whether to find a true lover or to go out and see the world, you can decide for yourself!"

After hearing his words, Chaoge was not angry, but laughed instead.

"You never went to school? You don't read? Have you forgotten those brick-like books you sent back all these years?"

Zhao Wenyu's expression froze.

He really forgot!

"You even wrote to me asking me to read it carefully and learn it well." Chaoge said faintly.

"Cough." Zhao Wenyu coughed softly with an embarrassed expression.

"Those books are just... well," he lowered his eyes, touched the tip of his nose, and continued to speak with a stiff upper lip, "We can't talk to each other now, and we don't have any common topics. Even if we continue to be husband and wife, we won't be in harmony."

Seeing that he didn't dare to raise his head or look at her, Chaoge sighed softly.

"Are you ready? You don't want to be a teacher anymore? What about your parents? Are you going to leave them all behind too?"

Zhao Wenyu looked up in surprise.

Facing Chaoge's clear gaze, his throat felt slightly sour, and he said in a stiff and vague voice, "What are you talking about? I finally became a teacher, with a high income and being respected. How could I give up?"

Chaoge: "I already know, are you still trying to fool me?"

Zhao Wenyu: “…”

He remained silent and turned his head away. "Aren't we discussing divorce?"

Just as Chaoge was about to say something, there was a loud bang at the door.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Zhao Wenyu quickly raised his legs and walked towards the door, escaping from this suffocating space.

"What happened?"

Seeing someone coming, Lao Li bent down and lowered his head as usual, looking timid, but with a fawning smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhao, you're here! Mr. Zhao was drunk and didn't stand steadily, so he accidentally bumped into the door frame."
