My Alleged Husband-Chapter 754 - 724 Another Argument_1

Zhang Yichen was about to leave for work when he heard once again the sound of an argument coming from his parents’ bedroom. He really didn’t understand why the couple was fighting again at this moment; they had already decided to go on a world tour, so why had they suddenly changed their minds?

He truly couldn’t grasp the adult world, even though he had his own child and was nearing 30, but he still didn’t understand why his parents’ relationship had become so delicate, erupting into arguments over seemingly trivial matters.

Couldn’t a family get along peacefully? Did they have to quarrel back and forth for it to mean anything? Such quarrels brought pain to everyone—didn’t they realize it? Why didn’t they understand even the most basic common sense, and only knew how to argue, to conflict over their own selfish interests?

"Xia Jing, to be with you, I’ve endured so much, but there are things I can’t bear anymore. I’ve done so much for you—doesn’t that move you at all? Why do you always treat me this way?"

"Do you think I’m like a lapdog in your eyes, coming to you with a wag of your hand when you want me, yet shoved away with a kick when you don’t?

I have to admit that I don’t owe you anything. If I chose to be with you in this way, it only proves that I really wanted to share the life we both desired, but you’ve never cherished it. In your eyes, you only use me, and once you think I’m no longer of any use, you think you can kick me aside just like that—do you realize how much pain that causes me?"

"I said I wanted to clear things up with you, but you can’t seem to understand. What’s the point of us being together? I wanted to go out and have a good time with you, which is why I wanted to clear these things up with you in advance. But the moment I started, you responded with this attitude—how can I continue to discuss anything with you?"

"Do you think there’s any point in traveling together with the attitude you have now? Do you think it’s fun to argue in public, making a spectacle for others to laugh at?"

"You’re a grown man, and you want respect, but so do I. Can’t everyone consider each other’s feelings when acting? Why must you always be like this? I promised to travel the world with you, which means I will go, but there are things I must make clear to you. Just because I’ve agreed doesn’t mean I can ignore, not ask, not say anything about what’s really in my heart!"

"Arguing like this is so tiring, bringing nothing but hurt every single time. You probably think it’s just normal household noise, easily igniting into quarrels. But it’s not like that for me—I just want a peaceful life."

"Is everything my fault in your eyes? Haven’t you ever thought that perhaps you’re not completely blameless? The things you’ve done, have you ever considered me your partner? Have you ever cared about my feelings?"

"If you can’t even do that, then on what grounds do you demand that I meet your so-called requirements? Do you understand the principle of not imposing on others what you yourself do not desire? If you don’t want something for yourself, why force it upon someone else, someone who doesn’t owe you, someone who repeatedly indulges you only because they care for you deep down? But if they didn’t love you at all, why would they bother being so good to you? Wouldn’t they feel utterly exhausted? Why are you always so selfish, not considering everyone’s feelings? Is it really okay for you to live so selfishly?"

"Now you’ve finally spoken your mind. It turns out in your heart I’ve always been a selfish woman, living only for myself, without a thought for anything else. But you don’t know that everything I do is not for myself—it’s all for being with the man I love. I waited so long, agonizing over whether what I was doing was wrong.

"All I wanted was to return to his side and be with him for life, but he ultimately gave me no way out, choosing to cut off all ties with me for this lifetime. But in my heart, I have always been his wife. Even after being married to you for so many years, deep down I have only ever seen you as my brother. I can’t treat you like a husband, do you understand? It’s a psychological impossibility that could never be changed for a lifetime!

"I love him as you love me. You know very well the lengths you’d go for me. Since my love for him is like your love for me, you should be able to understand how much I love him. That feeling isn’t something you can just forget or change at will—it’s a deep-rooted love etched forever in my heart, a brand that can never be erased. You should understand why I can go so far—he loved me to extremes, and my love for him is just as torturous. But my days with him were happy, sweet, joyful, whereas all these years with you, although I may smile outwardly, I have never once truly smiled from my heart, because you are not the person I love. I have no feelings for you."

Zhang Zhentian could overlook his wife’s deeds and everything she did, but today’s words deeply pained him, struggling internally. After all these years, he hadn’t managed to touch her heart at all—forever, he was not the one she loved. No matter how much he gave, even his life, it was just like that in her eyes; she didn’t care about him at all...
