My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1621: Chapter 1415: Pleasing

Treasure you well, it’s so that we can live together forever.

Xia Jing stood outside the door and heard these words; it was impossible not to be moved. As a man, he could even sacrifice his basic dignity just for a woman who doesn’t love him.

Any woman would be touched by the sincere words of a man who loves her this deeply. Xia Ji always had a heart of stone. He ignored all of Zhang Zhentian’s efforts and took his love for granted.

He never thought about what he would do if, one day, the person who always loved him suddenly didn’t anymore, or if this person suddenly left him.

People are always like this, hurting those who love them time and again, just to bind them to their side. But is this really right?

”Dad, you did so much for my mom, sacrificed so much, and all you wanted was for her to try and love you, just once. But she never gave you her heart—do you really think it’s worth it? Why do you do this?

You gave all your love to her, but you never got even a single attempt from her to love you back. Don’t you think it’s really not worth it?

I know you’ve been watching my every move over the years because I know no matter how cold my parents may be, they do care about what I do. You’ve always watched silently from behind. Sometimes I was in danger, and you tried to help me, but do you know why every time you rescued me, I ended up getting hurt the same way? Because I didn’t want you to save me. I wanted you to know that I can live happily without relying on my parents, and I can reach the pinnacle of life on my own strength!

Because only when I achieve the pinnacle of life on my own, I won’t feel like I owe anything to you in the future. Because only then have you abandoned me, and it’s you who owe me, and I won’t feel gratitude towards you for saving my life.

Perhaps in your eyes, it’s hard to accept what I’m saying. You are my parents. Maybe you don’t understand what kind of pain I’ve been through all these years, but do you know how much I wished you were there for me when I was ruthlessly forcing myself to become like a demon, when I vowed never to bow down to anyone for the rest of my life, and when I faced all difficulties without anyone to help me?

The era of eagerly anticipating you is over. The times full of hope in you have disappeared. Now, I only feel a bland indifference towards you, but that’s not love.

I rarely interact with you. There was always a song kids sang, ’In the world, only mothers are good,’ but I think they’re wrong. I think they should sing ’In the world, only grandpas are good.’

Because my grandpa is the one who raised me; my mom was never around. I have no feelings for her, but I don’t know why seeing you two quarrel like this—I should be laughing in celebration for you getting the punishment you deserve—yet my heart still aches faintly when I see your pain. Am I really that heartless? Must I treat every act towards you as if it never happened, over and over again?”

”Child, I understand what you’re saying. Loving someone without asking for returns—I have sacrificed a lot for your mother. I have walked paths to death time and again for her.

I vividly remember that time when she risked everything to complete a mission, almost encountering danger herself. In the end, she escaped, but I was seriously injured and didn’t contact her for a long time.

Because I was afraid she’d feel guilty seeing me hurt. I did not want her to know. I hid in a corner to heal secretly, hoping she was by my side. But to let her live happily, without being disturbed by anything, without harboring any guilt, I endured and got through it!

I love her unconditionally. I give for her not for any response. I just hoped one day she will genuinely try to love me back, even a little. Over time, I always believed that she would love me a bit.

But in the end, I miscalculated. I didn’t realize her heart always had him, her first love. But I don’t blame her. I still love her as much as before, because my heart for her could be testified by heaven and earth. I won’t give up on her due to any of her shortcomings or her past.

Decades of feelings as husband and wife are deeply rooted in my heart. For her, I gave up everything. I have nothing to fear now. All I want is to keep her by my side peacefully. Even if she wants to leave eventually, I’ll still let go. As long as she can be happy, I can cry secretly in a corner. What harm is there? Although I’m a man, I can’t bear it—she is the woman I love the most. I regard her as my goddess, but her heart is not with me, and there’s nothing I can do!”

”Your persistence leaves me speechless. I hope that all your sacrifices for my mother will eventually make her realize what’s right in front of her, realize how deeply you love her, and change a little bit for you, even be slightly moved by what you’ve done for her!”

”Child, let’s not disclose a word of what we said today. Let him continue living without worries. Why disturb his seemingly peaceful life over something unpleasant?”

”At first, I thought I was the only fool in the world, someone who would do anything for love. But I never expected that my own father was even more foolish. You’re simply too foolish! At least my wife has eyes only for me and no one else, but my mother isn’t like that. Her heart doesn’t hold you. After all these years of love, it has been all for nothing. Yet you’re still there, foolishly, making sacrifices for her at any cost!

I wish heaven could open its eyes and see why someone so devoted as you remains unacknowledged by the woman you love!”
