The Secret of Second Marriage

I don't know myself, I just feel a pain and reluctance I've never felt before. That kind of unbearable feeling is like vines tightly binding my heart, making it hard for me to breathe.

I didn't feel this much pain when I divorced my ex-husband.

To be honest, my divorce from my ex-husband was a conscious decision. Although I felt somewhat unwilling and couldn't bear to see my child, who was so young, lose a complete family.

But my reason and deep-seated intuition told me that I had to divorce my ex-husband because there is no such thing as a one-time affair, only countless times; he had committed a fundamental error.

But after all that Jiang and I have been through, I always thought I could break up with him easily. But at this moment I realize that I still can't bear to part with him, and I still love him.

I started calling Mr. Jiang, but his phone was switched off and I couldn't get through... Where did he go? I can't find him and can't contact him.

Will he block my number? Will I never be able to contact him again, and will our relationship be completely over?

I started frantically searching for General Manager Jiang on the streets.

I walked the entire commercial street but couldn't find Mr. Zhang. So I walked the street again and found that it was late at night and many shops had already closed.

I walked into a bar without realizing it.

I haven't been to a bar to drown my sorrows in a long time. I came here today because Mr. Jiang broke up with me, and I'm heartbroken.

It's peak season for bar patronage right now, and with the Lunar New Year approaching, business is booming. Most of the customers are young people and middle-aged people who come for business dinners.

I found a quiet spot on the second floor of the bar where I could see the dance floor, the stage, and various performances on the first floor.

I'm too old to dance anymore. Watching the young people dancing wildly on the dance floor, I just want to sit quietly upstairs, listen to the raucous DJ music, drink a cocktail, and suppress the sadness in my heart.

The singer, holding a guitar, hummed a folk song on stage.

I ordered a drink and downed the strongest cocktail imaginable. As the liquor went down my throat, my face started burning, but I felt a strange sense of relief...

Mr. Jiang, are we destined to break up?

I still feel quite reluctant to part with President Jiang.

I dialed his number again and again, but no one answered. It seemed like his phone wasn't with him. Perhaps my actions today have completely broken his heart, and he has decided to let go.

I drank until late at night, then called a driver to pick me up from the bar. I was quite drunk when I walked out of the bar. But as soon as I reached the entrance, a dark figure grabbed me tightly and pulled me into his arms.

Mr. Jiang drove back. He didn't leave; he actually returned to this commercial street and found me drowning my sorrows in this bar.

He said, "Man, let's not break up, okay? My heart is breaking. I don't want to break up with you. I know you still have feelings for me."

It was my mistake before that I neglected you, which gave Shen Xing an opportunity to take advantage of me.

I know nothing happened between you and Shen Xing. You're just friends. You've never betrayed me.

Man, let's make up, okay? Promise me that as long as you don't ruin our relationship, even if you become friends with Shen Xing, I'll turn a blind eye.

Okay?

"President Jiang, I actually miss you very much too."

At that moment, I finally let go of my stubbornness and hugged President Jiang tightly. President Jiang kissed my forehead and said that I had drunk so much.

He said, "Do you know what? After I left the restaurant, I drove alone to the riverside restaurant where we had our date before. I thought you would come there to find me, but I waited for a long time and you never showed up."

I was afraid of losing you, so I drove back, coming all the way from where I started to find you… Luckily you didn’t leave, luckily you were drinking at a bar nearby… Man, I will never break up with you again, never, ever…
