My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1028: Chapter 893: Own Memories_9

When I finally understood, I realized Xia Jing was acting this way because she felt she shouldn’t have lost her temper with strangers.

I grabbed Xia Jing’s hand, Xia Jing tried to pry Zhang Zhentian’s hand away, but I only held on tighter. He started to explain to Xia Jing, ”Xia Jing, this isn’t how you think it is. The truth is...” Zhang Zhentian recounted the whole story to Xia Jing.

I thought this would appease Xia Jing, but I didn’t anticipate her words leaving him at a loss.

”Zhang Zhentian, they were wrong to insult you, but why are you so petty? You lost your temper with others over this? I really misjudged you.” With that, Xia Jing turned and walked away. Zhang Zhentian chased after her, but Xia Jing turned back and said, ”If you dare follow me, you’ll never see me again!”

I heard Xia Jing say this and stopped in his tracks. He stood there watching Xia Jing, wanting to pull her into his arms and hold her tight, never letting her leave his side again. But Zhang Zhentian feared that if he did, he would never see Xia Jing again.

Xia Jing turned and left, and I silently watched her back, my heart aching terribly. He didn’t know what to do to please Xia Jing. He watched her figure grow smaller and smaller until it vanished.

I felt helpless about Xia Jing’s departure, he truly couldn’t understand her anymore. One word wrong leads to an argument, a small mistake makes Xia Jing want to leave him, a single wrong word makes Xia Jing angry...

He crouched down in frustration, holding his head and crying softly.

Xia Jing was heading back to the hotel where she was staying when she was stopped by the two people Zhang Zhentian had cursed at earlier. They said to her, ”Miss, how could you treat that guy like that just now?”

Xia Jing was shocked by their actions and retorted, ”Young lady, you must be mistaken, that gentleman cursed at the two of you. You aren’t even angry and yet you’re defending him? Besides, what does my argument with that gentleman have to do with you?”

Xia Jing’s sharp tongue truly frightened them, leaving the two speechless and at a loss for words.

The second bystander quickly reacted and said to Xia Jing, ”Please miss, don’t get us wrong, I mean no harm. I just think that guy seemed quite pitiful.”

Hearing ’pitiful’, Xia Jing laughed coldly, ”Hahaha, pitiful? You call him pitiful, but do you know how extreme his words to me were before? I still feel I’m being too soft on him.”

The second bystander couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted at Xia Jing, ”I call you miss out of respect. I repeat, I have no other intention. I just wanted to tell you that guy’s been waiting here for so long for you, nothing else.”

As Xia Jing heard this, she found it increasingly amusing, ”What does it matter to me how long he’s waited here? Is it my concern?”

”Miss, he’s been waiting here for you for a whole day and night, since yesterday till now. Didn’t you notice his pale face? He hasn’t had a sip of water, a bite of food, or moved an inch. Even when we said he was crazy, he didn’t get angry. I admit our actions were wrong today, but he’s willing to risk his life waiting for you, how can you bear to hurt him like this?” Unable to hold back, the second bystander grabbed Xia Jing’s hand and said, ”Miss, I don’t know what happened between you and that guy before, but I can only say one thing: treasure what’s in front of you. Don’t wait until it’s lost to regret it. Meeting someone who truly loves you is rare, and no matter what kind of words he said to you, I believe it wasn’t what he truly meant. He must have been provoked...”

Xia Jing was stunned by the second bystander’s words. She always thought she was the one waiting, but she miscalculated; she thought Zhang Zhentian would definitely be late, but she misjudged; she never imagined Zhang Zhentian would care for her so much that he’d risk his life... yet she never realized how deeply Zhang Zhentian loved her...
