Chapter 404 Battle Of Wits
She had seen countless reunions and separations.
She had seen some of the most loving couples putting a bitter end to their marriage after a decade or two.
Love sustains a marriage, so they said. But what Wu Nian had learned was that a child could be the most reliable bridge between a husband and wife.
A child weighed so much more than a piece of legal paper.
Regardless of how much Shen Yiyan claimed to love Yan, it’s undeniable that Bao was their flesh and blood.
Whatever the type of relationship was between two people, whether they’re family, friends, or a couple, feelings were feeble.
Although the man in front of Wu Nian appeared to be a tyrant, his willingness to risk everything to keep Liu Yan by his side was a compelling portrayal of his commitment towards the woman. Plus, the fact that Yan didn’t need to hide her stubborn attitude from him showed just how much affection the usually cold-blooded demon harbored for her.
Perhaps… Yan will never encounter such sheer love again in the future.
Wu Nian simmered down with a sigh. “I can help you, but there’re a few conditions I need you to comply with.”
In that instant, Shen Yiyan let go of her shoulders. “Name them.”
“First, you’re not allowed to see Yan until you’re officially divorced.”
“Sure,” he agreed without the slightest hesitation.
“Second, if Yan finds new love before you’re done with your business, you shall not intervene in her life anymore.”
At that, an icy glow flashed across his eyes, albeit it vanished in a blink. “Alright.”
“Third, if you’re still the general when you marry her, you must believe in her at all times and protect her at all costs. With her character, Yan isn’t the best at protecting herself from scheming folks.”
“That’s for sure. I’ll never let her get hurt, even if it means destroying everything. Besides me, no one is allowed to bully her.”
