My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1329: Chapter 1158: After She Returned

Zhang Yichen remembered that her parents once wanted to travel around the world.

If it were her, she too hoped to wait for the day her husband returned to her side, to take him and travel around the world as well. He had given her so much, that many others were unwilling to give her, but he did. Yet, ultimately, her husband chose to disappear without a trace. She didn’t know what he had been through, why there was such a profound change within him.

Recalling her parents’ world travels...

Actually, Xia Jing just wanted to tell her husband that she wanted to accompany him on a world tour, because such times are truly rare.

She had missed out on too many great times before, always thinking about how to complete her tasks within her organization.

But she forgot that she is also a woman, needing to experience the life that many women desire. Why was she always so willful, time and again bringing others to get hurt with her?

Xia Jing watched Zhang Zhentian flee in embarrassment and couldn’t help but reflect on herself.

What kind of damage had she brought to her husband, that he was so scared, fleeing in embarrassment without a chance to speak a word to her?

Seeing the way her husband was towards her made her heart ache, but there were things she really couldn’t solve. Those matters were dealt with one step at a time through her own actions, so why did she have to repeatedly reflect on herself? If she were to abandon the paths she had chosen, wouldn’t it be all for naught? How would she differ from those who give up halfway?

Just as Zhang Yichen passed by the door, he saw his father fleeing in panic, 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 suffered again under his mother, not daring to speak up, silently walking away.

But this time, it wasn’t what he imagined. This time, his father was too cowardly, not daring to stand in front of his mother to hear that one sentence. If he had stood there to hear it, he would perhaps be genuinely excited, maybe even hug his wife tightly. But instead, he fled in embarrassment.

”Dad, what’s wrong? I saw you rush out of the bedroom, did something happen? Did mom say something to you again or ask you to leave?

I don’t understand your mentality towards my mom, but regardless, you shouldn’t be indulgent with her. She repeatedly does this to you; why can’t you summon the courage of a man to persuade her?

If mom really chased you out, don’t worry, I will speak up for you. I can’t believe she can treat you this way, beckoning you to come and go as she pleases. What does she take you for? Are you even a man? Can you show the basic courage a man should have?”

”Stop it. No matter what, she is your mother; you have no right to speak ill of her or criticize her!

She endured a lot to give birth to you; that’s the greatest gift, yet you repeatedly criticize her. Today, I ran away because I was afraid of her rejection, not because I don’t have a man’s responsibility. Why do you always criticize your mother, claiming she chased me out? You repeatedly interfere in our matters; isn’t it making it difficult for me?”

Zhang Yichen froze. He didn’t expect this time the fault lied with his father. He didn’t realize the result was due to his father fleeing in embarrassment, leading to another misunderstanding of his mom.

Xiao Jing listened to her son’s evaluation of her, feeling really disappointed. She didn’t expect her son had such an impression of her, often thinking she was wrong, repeatedly doubting herself.

She didn’t expect to be such a failed mother, unable to provide even basic life or gain her son’s trust. She felt like the most incompetent mother in the world.

”Child, I really just want to travel the world with your mother. Over the years, although we’ve often drifted and lived without roots, you always think we’re happy outside, but who can understand the anxiety we experience!

I want to take her to see the limitless beauty of nature, to experience the best things in the world. I don’t want her to live so exhausting a life. I want her to live a life that no other woman would.

In the past, I had no chance or ability to take her around the world, but now, things have come to this point; I must do what I want for her. Otherwise, what if she really leaves me one day? Then, what could I do? I would only watch helplessly as she’s happy in someone else’s arms while I can only silently watch behind the scenes. Do you know how desperate that is?”

Yichen listening to Zhentian couldn’t help but cry. He never thought that his repeated decisions could result in such an outcome. His husband suddenly saying he wanted to take her around the world was out of fear she’d someday leave him, leaving no chance to share the world’s beauty with her. He just wanted to keep it all as the most beautiful memories.

”Dad, your meaning is you’re afraid mom will someday leave you, so you want to take her around the world, just to keep the best memories in your mind, to spend the rest of your life with these memories, right?

Have you truly considered if doing this is worth it?

Actually, deep in my mom, it’s not that she doesn’t have you. Now you’ve given her so much; her heart will only be more grateful to you. It’s just that some things aren’t easily forgotten, so...”

”I know now that I truly don’t know what more I can understand. Before, I could not care, I could wait forever, but now I can’t wait anymore. I’m truly afraid she’ll leave me one day. I just want to imprint the best memories between us in my mind forever, even if she leaves, while I’ll still hold the sweetest memories between us. To me, she’s life’s most beautiful treasure...”

”Dad and mom, I remember it well. When my wife was home before, I didn’t give her any love, but my parents once wanted to take her around the world. If my wife returns, I hope to take him out to travel, for him to rest well for a while. I’ve been tired for so many years, and I want to relax too!”
