My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1239: Chapter 1068: What Is Wealth

Everyone has thought about traveling around the world, but the desire to travel the world is not something everyone can understand!

Actually, Xia Jing just wanted to tell her husband that she wanted to accompany him on a journey around the world, because such moments are truly hard to come by.

She had already missed out on too many great times before, as she was always preoccupied with completing tasks from her organization.

But she forgot that she is also a woman, who needs to experience the kind of life many other women wish to experience. Why was she always so reckless? Why did she keep leading others to get hurt alongside her?

Seeing Zhang Zhentian flee in panic, she couldn’t help but reflect on herself.

What kind of harm had she caused to her husband to make him so afraid that he had to escape in such a panic, without even leaving room for a single word?

Looking at her husband’s behavior towards her, her heart felt heavy. But there were things she really didn’t have any way to resolve. Those were things she had walked through step by step, and since she chose this path, why should she repeatedly question herself? If she were to give up the path she chose a long time ago, wouldn’t it all be for nothing? How would she be different from those who give up halfway?

As Zhang Yichen happened to pass by the door, he saw his father fleeing and running out of the bedroom. He didn’t understand what had happened. His first thought was that his mother had bullied his father again, and his father had once again suffered in silence, unable to say anything, as he quietly walked away.

But this time, things were not as he imagined. This time, it was his father who was too cowardly to stand before his mother and listen to what she had to say. If he had heard those words, he might have been truly thrilled and excited, maybe even properly hugged his wife, but instead, he chose to escape in panic.

”Dad, what’s going on? Why did I see you rushing out of the bedroom? Did something happen? Did mom say something to you again or did she kick you out again?

I don’t understand your attitude towards my mom, but regardless, you shouldn’t indulge her like this. When she treats you this way time and again, why can’t you show the courage of a man and confront her?

If mom really kicked you out, don’t worry, I’ll get justice for you. I can’t believe she thinks she can just call and dismiss you at will. What does she take you for? Are you a man or not? Show some basic manly courage, will you?”

”Hold your tongue. No matter what, she is your mother, and you have no right to criticize her or judge her!

She went through so much to give birth to you, which is already a huge blessing to you. Why should you criticize her repeatedly? Today’s incident was because I was afraid she would reject me, so I fled in panic. It’s my own lack of the responsibility a man should have that leads you to blame her for driving me out. By intervening again and again in our matters, aren’t you just causing me embarrassment?”

Zhang Yichen was stunned. He didn’t expect this time to be his father’s fault. He didn’t expect it was his father’s flight that led to this situation. He realized he once again misunderstood his mother.

Xiao Jing, hearing her son’s assessment of her from inside the bedroom, felt deeply disappointed. She never expected her son’s impression of her to be like this, always feeling she was wrong, doubting herself repeatedly.

She never thought she would be such a failure as a mother, unable to provide even basic living needs or gain basic trust from her son. She felt like the most incompetent mother in the world.

”Child, I really just wanted to travel the world with your mother. Although in these years, we’ve been drifting endlessly, with no fixed residence, you always thought we were having a good time outside. But who can truly understand the anxiety we feel out there!

I want to take her to experience the boundless beauty of nature and let her enjoy the most wonderful things this world has to offer. I don’t want her to live so tiredly. I want her to have a life that no other woman could have.

In the past, I didn’t have the opportunity or the ability to take her traveling around the world. Now that things have reached this point, I want to do everything I ever wanted for her. Otherwise, if one day she truly leaves me, what can I do? I could only watch her laughing in someone else’s arms while I silently watch from behind. Do you know how desperate that feels?”

Hearing Zhang Zhentian’s words, Xia Jing couldn’t help but cry. She never thought her decisions would lead to such an outcome. She realized her husband suddenly saying he wanted to take her on a world trip was merely out of fear she might leave him one day and he wouldn’t have any more chances to share the world’s beauty with her—he just wanted to leave her with the best memories.

”Dad, are you saying you’re afraid mom will one day leave you, so you’re taking her on a world trip just to keep the best memories in your mind so you can live with these memories for the rest of your life?

Have you really not thought whether it’s worth it?

Actually, my mom doesn’t have nothing for you in her heart. Now, when you do so much for her, she will only be more grateful to you, but some things are really hard to just forget, so...”

”I know, right now, I really don’t know if I can understand. Before, I could not care and could always wait, but now I can’t wait any longer. I’m terribly scared that one day she will truly leave me. I just want to forever engrave the most beautiful memories of us in my mind. Even if she leaves me, these sweet memories will be the most wonderful treasure of my life...”

What’s wealth? Can wealth exchange for a person’s true heart?
