My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1616: Chapter 1410: Destruction

Zhang Yichen was just about to leave for work when he heard the sounds of another argument coming from his parents’ bedroom. He really couldn’t understand why the couple would argue again at this time. They had clearly decided to travel around the world, so why had they suddenly changed their minds?

He really couldn’t make sense of the adult world. Even though he had his own child and was nearly 30 years old, he still couldn’t comprehend why his parents’ relationship had become so delicate and why they would fight at the drop of a hat.

Can’t a family just live peacefully together? Is there really a need to argue back and forth to feel meaningful? These arguments bring harm to everyone involved—do they really not know that? Why do they not understand even the most basic common sense, quarrelling just for their own selfish interests?

”Xia Jing, I’ve tolerated and tolerated just to be with you, but there are things I simply can’t hold back anymore. I’ve given so much for you, yet are you not touched at all? Why do you always treat me this way?

Do you see me as nothing more than a lapdog who comes running when you wave your hand, only to be kicked away when you no longer want me?

I have to admit I owe you nothing. Choosing to be with you in this way only proves that I truly want to share a life with you. We once envisioned a life together, but you’ve never cherished it. In your eyes, I’m just a tool to be used, and when you think I’m no longer valuable, you simply kick me aside. Do you realize how much your actions hurt me inside?”

”I’ve told you, there are things I want to clarify with you. Since I’ve brought these issues up, yet you can’t understand them yourself, what meaning do we still have in this relationship? I wanted to go out and have fun with you, so I tried to clear things up in advance. But as soon as I spoke, you responded with this attitude. How can I continue discussing things with you?

With your current attitude, is there still any meaning to our trip? Do you think going out like this, just to argue, is fun? Is arguing in public amusing to you?

You’re a grown man; you need face, but so do I. Can we consider each other’s feelings when doing things? Why do you always have to be like this? I promised I would travel around the world with you, and I will, but there are things I need to be clear about. My agreeing does not mean I can just ignore everything, question nothing, and say nothing!

Arguing like this is exhausting. Every time it starts so easily, what kind of harm does it bring to everyone involved? You’ve never thought about it. Maybe to you, it’s just part of everyday life, something to argue about easily. But to me, it’s not like that at all. I just want a peaceful life.”

”In your eyes, no matter what, everything is my fault. Have you never considered that maybe you’re not entirely blameless in your heart? Have you really treated me as your partner with the things you’ve done? Have you considered my feelings?

If you can’t do it yourself, on what grounds do you demand I meet your so-called expectations? Do you understand what it means to not do unto others what you don’t want for yourself? You can’t impose on others what you wouldn’t want yourself. Others don’t owe you; they tolerate you time and time again, only proving that they have a good impression of you and care about you, hence the constant compliance.

But if that person truly doesn’t love you, why would they treat you so well? Wouldn’t they just feel exhausted inside? Why are you always so selfish when doing things, never considering everyone’s feelings? Is being selfish really a good way to live?”

”Now you’ve finally spoken your mind. So, in your heart, I’ve always been a selfish, self-serving woman, never considering other things. But you don’t know that everything I’ve done was never for myself; it was just to be with the person I love. But after waiting so long, through all the reflections and doubts, and considering whether I was wrong,

I just wanted to return to his side and spend my life with him. Yet, in the end, he gave me no retreat, choosing to sever all ties with me for life. But in my heart, I will always be his wife, even though I’ve been married to you for so many years. Deep inside, I only see you as a brother. I can’t treat you like a husband, do you understand? There’s a psychological role that cannot be changed for a lifetime!

I love him just as you love me. You know in your heart to what extent you can go for me. Since I love him just as you love me, you should understand how deeply I love him. You should comprehend what kind of feeling this is. It’s a deeply rooted love, engraved in my heart for a lifetime, with no way to erase it. You should know why I’ve gone this far. You love me passionately; I love him painfully. But loving him made our days together joyful, sweet, and happy. While with you, though I smile outwardly, my heart has never truly smiled even once because you’re not the one I love. I have no feelings for you.”

Zhang Zhentian could overlook everything his wife had done, but today, these words deeply conflicted and pained him. After all these years, he never realized he hadn’t touched her heart even slightly, that in her eyes, he’d never be the one she loved. No matter how much he gave, even his life, it wouldn’t matter to her whether he lived or died...
