My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1028: The Unexpected Event (9)

Zhang Zhentian squatted down helplessly and hugged his head, softly crying.

Xia Jing was about to walk back to the hotel she was staying at when she was stopped by the two people whom Zhang Zhentian had scolded on the way back. They said to Xia Jing, ”Sister, how could you treat that man like that just now?”

Xia Jing was shocked by their actions at the time and retorted, ”Little sister, did you misunderstand? That gentleman just now scolded you two. It’s fine if you aren’t angry, but how can you stand up for him? Besides, what does my argument with him have to do with you?”

Xia Jing’s quick wit was truly frightening, leaving the two of them stunned and unable to respond.

The second bystander quickly reacted and said to Xia Jing, ”Sister, please don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean anything else. I just think that guy is kind of pitiful.”

Upon hearing the second bystander describe Zhang Zhentian as pitiful, Xia Jing coldly laughed and said, ”Hahaha, pitiful? You actually call him pitiful? Do you know how outrageous the things he said to me were before? I still think I’m going easy on him.”

The second bystander couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted at Xia Jing, ”I called you sister out of respect. I’ll say it again, I didn’t mean anything else by finding you; I just wanted to tell you how long that man has been waiting for you here, and nothing more.”

Xia Jing found it increasingly amusing and replied, ”What does it matter how long he’s waited for me here? What does that have to do with me?”

”Sister, he’s been waiting for you here for a whole day and night, since yesterday, without drinking a sip of water, eating a mouthful of food, or leaving even half a step. Even when we said he might be out of his mind today, he didn’t get angry. I’ll admit what we did was wrong, but he’s willing to risk his life waiting for you. How can you bear to hurt him like this?” The second bystander couldn’t help it any longer and grabbed Xia Jing’s hand, saying, ”Sister, I truly don’t know what happened between you and that guy before, but I can only say one thing: cherish what you have while you have it. Don’t wait until you’ve lost it to regret it. Meeting someone who truly loves you in a lifetime isn’t easy. No matter what the guy said to you, I believe those words couldn’t be from his heart. Maybe he was provoked to say such things...”

Xia Jing was stunned by what the second bystander said. She always thought she would never be the one who was late, but she miscalculated; she always thought Zhang Zhentian would be late, but she was wrong; she always thought Zhang Zhentian wouldn’t risk his life for her, yet she didn’t expect him to love her so much...

The second bystander looked at the half-dazed Xia Jing, sighed lightly, and said to her, ”Sister, think it over carefully. Maybe one day you’ll find that what I said makes sense.”

After speaking to Xia Jing, the second bystander left without waiting for her reply. Xia Jing stood there in a daze for a long time, with the words of the second bystander echoing in her mind: ”That guy waited for you here for a whole day and night, without eating a bite or drinking a sip, without taking even half a step away...” Those words filled her mind, and she didn’t react for a long time. Passersby thought Xia Jing was a fool standing there motionless. By the time she snapped out of it, the sky had already darkened, and she finally walked back to the hotel step by step.

Returning to her hotel, Xia Jing reflected on the words she had said to Zhang Zhentian that day. She felt conflicted and sank to the floor as soon as she entered the room, feeling deeply hurt and distressed.

”Could it be that I really misunderstood Zhang Zhentian this time? Could it be that I was wrong this time? If what those two people said is true, did I wrong Zhentian? How did things develop to this point? What should I do?” Xia Jing cried in the room, her heart wrenching, and after a while, she slowly got up. She staggered to the bathroom, washed up, and lay in bed, recalling the words she said to Zhang Zhentian that day. Xia Jing tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and at this moment, Zhang Zhentian was the same. When he returned to his place, he collapsed on the bed, sleepless, thinking about Xia Jing’s words to him that day. He suddenly felt that Xia Jing’s temper was even more stubborn than he imagined.
