The Pursuit of Love After Divorcing My Cold Omega - Chapter 58

“Yu Kunian, let’s get a divorce.”

If an Alpha’s words could take physical form, Song Wenzhi felt as though her heart would be pierced by countless needles, ruthlessly stabbing through her, leaving her with a bone-chilling cold and a piercing, agonizing pain.

Standing beside her, Yu Sheng became terrified. She watched as Song Wenzhi’s face instantly turned deathly pale, drained of all color, until she could barely keep her footing.

“Sister Wenzhi…” Yu Sheng reached out to support her, but Song Wenzhi pushed her away.

The Omega did not have the courage to listen to another word of what Yu Kunian had to say. She used every ounce of her strength to stumble back a few steps, avoiding Yu Sheng’s gaze, and said with exhaustion, “Don’t mind me.”

Just saying those few words felt as though the Omega had depleted all her energy.

The words Yu Kunian had spoken echoed repeatedly in her mind; she could still hear the Alpha’s harsh, sharp tone. Song Wenzhi couldn’t stop herself from trembling. Her fingertips, suspended in mid-air, shook uncontrollably. She struggled to breathe, feeling a pain in her heart like a twisting knife.

What kind of pain was it?

It was as if countless blades were thrusting toward her heart, riding on a freezing night wind that wrapped her in ice. The pain spread so deeply that even breathing hurt.

Song Wenzhi could no longer hear any other sounds. The string named “reason” snapped completely. The expression on her face spiraled out of control—from shock and disbelief to terror, horror, and finally, a devastating realization.

She realized that Yu Kunian’s pursuit had been a calculated, long-planned scheme.

She realized that the three months of happiness were a complete and total illusion.

As it turned out, everything was a lie.

She had never realized that the happiness she had longed for, and the person she loved so much, were actually as fragile as a bubble that could pop at any second. The happiness Yu Kunian gave her was like a dandelion wrapped in candy paper. The Omega had protected it with extreme care, never daring to unwrap it, believing that beneath the paper lay an even happier future.

But the truth was that beneath that thin wrapper lay a void easily blown away—a future she never imagined, and a fleeting dream. Yu Kunian had ruthlessly torn it open with her own hands, forcing Song Wenzhi to wake up.

The Omega retreated step by step; she had never been so pathetic.

She was terrified that in the next second, she would lose control of her emotions and break down on the spot.

Trembling pathetically, turning away pathetically, fleeing the scene pathetically. Then, she forced a bitter smile, her pale lips quivering. She finally saw the truth behind the sweetness. Not long ago, she had been drowning in that sweetness; today, she discovered that what she had tasted might never have been sweet at all.

It was bitter, but she had blinded herself.

The bitterness seeped into her breath, starting from the tip of her tongue and spreading down her throat, growing more bitter by the second.

What did this count for?

What did she count for?

How much she had once looked forward to a future with Yu Kunian was exactly how ridiculous it seemed now.

Song Wenzhi’s thoughts were in total chaos. She didn’t even know how she left that place. she walked out, forcing herself to walk far away, far from the ballroom.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a sudden, strong gust of wind made her stagger. She had to lean against a nearby wall for support. The Omega lowered her head, bending over as her gaze fell to the ground. She let out a dry heave followed by a violent cough, her fingertips turning white as she slowly crouched down.

Song Wenzhi wrapped her arms around herself. Wrapped in intense sorrow, the Omega was utterly crushed. Her sincerity had been something Yu Kunian had swindled from her.

This fact crushed her.

Song Wenzhi tried to steady her breathing, but the Alpha’s voice seemed to ring in her ears constantly—so heartless and so cruel.

Scalding tears fell from her eyes—one drop, two drops… then they were beyond control, gushing out like a burst dam, wetting the ground at her feet.

How was she supposed to believe that the intimacy of this time had all been a lie from Yu Kunian?

How was she supposed to think about how, when Yu Kunian was with her, that sincere face hid such a malicious purpose?

Song Wenzhi didn’t know how to think. Whenever she remembered Yu Kunian’s gaze or her smile, she would think with agonizing sadness: the Alpha’s responses had seemed so real.

Clearly, Yu Kunian had made promises; clearly, Yu Kunian had been so good to her…

But why?

Why was it fake? Why did everything have to become an illusion at this moment? The kindness Yu Kunian showed her now seemed tinged with hypocrisy. Song Wenzhi couldn’t accept it; she had seen the Alpha’s kindness with her own eyes.

But she had also heard the Alpha’s truth with her own ears.

If it wasn’t her she married, it would have been any other Omega.

For a moment, Song Wenzhi wondered if she could pretend she didn’t know and just continue. She loved Yu Kunian; she cherished this marriage and couldn’t bear to let go. But she also couldn’t continue like this, facing an Alpha who had no feelings for her.

Deception—she hated deception most of all.

Yu Kunian knew that, yet she had done it anyway.

Song Wenzhi could not forgive it, even if the Alpha was Yu Kunian. She was now surrounded by two completely opposite thoughts:

Don’t go on; don’t let yourself eventually drown here.

Keep loving Yu Kunian and try her best to maintain this marriage.

Her love and her pain both stemmed from that Alpha, but love could not outweigh the agony of the truth. If she didn’t pull herself away soon, she would be covered in scars. If the ending with Yu Kunian was already clear, she should leave—but the Omega didn’t know if she had the courage to end it.

Song Wenzhi wiped the tears from her face and slowly stood up. Her eyelashes were wet with tears, and her gaze was momentarily vacant. She felt completely disoriented. The thought of escaping crossed her mind; she wanted to find an excuse to lie to herself.

Looking up at the clear sky, the Omega’s red-rimmed eyes were still wet. Song Wenzhi took deep breath after deep breath to adjust her emotions. After a moment, she looked into the distance and silently recited the Alpha’s name one last time in her heart.

She was surrounded by a sense of powerlessness and a heart full of confusion.

She didn’t know what to do.

As an outstanding professor at Lihua University, Song Wenzhi was usually calm when facing difficult problems and could always find a solution. But now, she couldn’t find peace for a long time, becoming panicked and hesitant.

The weather in Lihua City was beautiful today, but for her, it was a torrential downpour.

The argument between Yu Kunian and Yu Dai came suddenly. The Alpha hadn’t intended to lose her temper, but facing the pressure from Yu Dai and Yang Jin, she felt increasingly frustrated.

The pressure from the board of directors was already giving her a massive headache, let alone these annoying external matters. Even the smallest thing felt like a fuse to a bomb; with her patience completely exhausted, an emotional explosion occurred.

The Alpha couldn’t calmly reason with them anymore. Perhaps Li Ci was right—her heat was approaching, making her irritable and unwilling to laboriously explain things. So, she spoke without thinking.

Yu Kunian blurted out her previously absurd thoughts and her plan to pursue Song Wenzhi. The Alpha simply laid everything out on the table; she wanted Yu Dai and Yang Jin to know that she did not want to follow their wishes.

She wanted to tell Yu Dai and Yang Jin how overbearing they were; otherwise, she would never have had such a ridiculous idea.

The Alpha’s rebellion, no matter how childish it seemed to them, signified a victory. As long as Yu Kunian saw them frustrated by her choices, she felt she had found evidence that she could be free from their shackles.

Yu Kunian was sick of Yu Dai and Yang Jin making decisions for her.

Looking at the two people in front of her, who were so shocked they couldn’t speak, Yu Kunian added: “However, that was before. Since meeting Zhizhi, I haven’t looked at another Omega. I only want her. So don’t try to break up my marriage with Zhizhi again. I won’t divorce her. Give up on that idea.”

She had indeed approached Song Wenzhi with a purpose, but that didn’t mean this marriage could be discarded at will.

Yu Kunian felt she might be a bit irrational today, her speech a bit disjointed, but the meaning was more or less clear. She had a terrible headache and didn’t wait for Yu Dai or Yang Jin to speak before turning to leave.

The banquet downstairs was in full swing. There was no one else on the second floor, and she doubted anyone would notice the argument that had just taken place. Yu Kunian went downstairs, returned to the ballroom, found an inconspicuous spot to sit, and listlessly listened to the various flatteries around her.

Remembering that Yu Sheng had messaged her about an hour ago saying she was coming to the banquet but hadn’t shown up, Yu Kunian frowned. Thinking that being late wasn’t a good habit, she called Yu Sheng.

But the call went unanswered. Not knowing what Yu Sheng was busy with, Yu Kunian sent a text to remind her.

However, even when the banquet ended, Yu Sheng hadn’t arrived. Yu Kunian just assumed she was busy and didn’t pay much attention. Before heading home, she received a call from Jiang Qiu, who said she was bringing over a few bottles of wine and asked Yu Kunian to wait at the banquet location.

Jiang Qiu arrived by car. She found a parking spot across the street from Yu Kunian before bringing the wine over. As the wind blew, Yu Kunian’s emotions calmed down quite a bit. Hearing Jiang Qiu talk about the joy of her recent date with Wen Yan, the Alpha realized it had been a long time since she and Song Wenzhi had sat down for a proper “candlelight dinner.”

So, she didn’t chat with Jiang Qiu for long; Yu Kunian wanted to go back early to be with Song Wenzhi.

Watching Yu Kunian leave in a hurry, Jiang Qiu returned to her car only to realize she had forgotten to lock it. Suddenly seeing Yu Sheng’s figure in the backseat gave her a huge fright.

“Sister Jiang Qiu,” Yu Sheng looked helpless, her voice trembling as if she were looking to Jiang Qiu for support, just as they had been before. “I think I’ve messed up, what should I do…”

Jiang Qiu wasn’t in the mood to listen: “Get out of the car.”

But in the next moment, she saw Yu Sheng’s reddened eyes and those slightly timid pupils. Jiang Qiu’s fingertips paused, and her breathing grew unconsciously heavy. She said nothing more.

Upon arriving home, Yu Kunian received a message from Yu Sheng, but before she could read it, the message was retracted. She thought it was strange but didn’t take it to heart.

Strangely, the lights in the house weren’t on. Yu Kunian stood in the dim living room, thinking Song Wenzhi wasn’t back yet, but when she called, the ringtone echoed from the bedroom.

The Alpha walked toward the bedroom, her brow furrowed. For some reason, an underlying sense of unease grew in her heart.

Yu Kunian pushed open the bedroom door. The lights weren’t on there either, but the curtains were open, allowing the hazy moonlight to filter in and illuminate Song Wenzhi’s figure sitting on the bed.

The ringtone stopped, and the room fell into an unspeakable silence.

The atmosphere was very wrong. Yu Kunian sensed it. Looking at the silent Omega, her unease was magnified. The Alpha spoke softly, asking: “Zhizhi, why didn’t you turn on the lights?”

The Omega seemed to finally come back to her senses. She slowly raised her head and looked at the Alpha. “Yu Kunian.”

Song Wenzhi’s voice was laced with hoarseness and an undeniable aura of sorrow. Yu Kunian’s heart skipped a beat. She leaned in, wanting to take Song Wenzhi’s hand, but unexpectedly, the Omega pulled away.

“What’s wrong, Zhizhi?” Yu Kunian’s voice held a panic she hadn’t even noticed herself—an irrational panic.

Song Wenzhi took several deep breaths, as if she were mentally preparing herself. Gathering all her courage, she finally stood up. In the dark, her tear-swollen eyes couldn’t be seen. The Omega clenched her trembling fingertips, trying her best to keep her voice as steady as usual:

“Yu Kunian, let’s get a divorce.”
