Surprisingly, Chen Qingxuan neither nodded nor shook her head, but instead fell into thought.
After a long while, she looked at Cheng Yize and said, "But I've always wanted to ask you, why is it that even though you keep saying you love me, I find it hard to feel your love?"
"Sometimes I wonder, what's the point of our college romance? We never talked about anything high-level intellectual exchange. It was all about classes, professors, papers, and everyday movies and TV shows. We always talked about the same things, and it was always you talking while I listened. And when we ate, we always split the bill. Back then, my family was relatively well-off, and I felt sorry for you not having enough money, so every month I would try my best to give you half of my allowance, afraid that you wouldn't have enough to live on."
“Cheng Yize, I loved you back then, but I realized that your love for me was nothing more than a utilitarian one. You couldn’t find a better marriage partner than me. My parents have respectable jobs and high pensions. I am an only child from the city, and my parents bought me a house and a car before the marriage. I also graduated from a prestigious university and am good-looking. I often have suitors. Compared to you, my conditions seem to be much better.”
Cheng Yize's expression was gradually changing.
The viewers in the live stream also sighed.
Chen Qingxuan wasn't concerned about others; she was focused on herself, trying to recall every moment she shared with Cheng Yize.
"Back then, there was a stunningly beautiful girl in our dorm. She was incredibly pretty and had many suitors. Everyone knew her name. What's even funnier is that both of our names contain the character 'Qing'. When I received your first love letter, I saw the character 'Qing' on it. At the time, I didn't think much of it, but later I slowly realized that you might not be confessing your feelings to me. After all, people are visual creatures, and my roommate is very beautiful."
Is this really that melodramatic?!
The audience immediately perked up.
Cheng Yize's expression immediately changed: "What are you talking about? The love letter I wrote back then was for you. Why do you think it was for someone else?"
Chen Qingxuan laughed, almost to the point of tears: "Because in that love letter, you praised me for being sexy and for having long legs. But I was a good girl back then, not sexy at all. I thought you were really complimenting me. Actually, my roommate reminded me that you had added her on WeChat, but after hearing about her family background, you stopped contacting her. Isn't that funny?"
"Stop talking nonsense. This is a TV show. If Chen Qingxuan has something to say, let's talk about it at home. You have to drag it into the TV show and make a spectacle of it for everyone. Do you think that will save face for me and you?"
Seeing that Chen Qingxuan's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Cheng Yize finally couldn't hold back any longer.
Her words would have a very negative impact on him, so he had to stop her.
But Chen Qingxuan did not stop.
She continued staring at Cheng Yize: "You said you loved me, but when you were pursuing my roommate, you found out she came from a single-parent family and her mother didn't have a stable job, and you immediately shifted your focus to me. After that, you kept trying to please me, but while showcasing your talents, you would occasionally remind me that you didn't have enough money for living expenses and needed my help. And I foolishly thought that taking care of you wouldn't be a problem, after all, you're my boyfriend, and we'll get married in the future. You realized you didn't have a better choice, so you walked down the aisle with me, is that right?"
Chen Qingxuan has figured everything out. When a woman lets go of her feelings, she becomes very perceptive, and her rationality has returned.
Back then, she thought Cheng Yize was a promising boyfriend who treated her very well, so she jumped right into it.
Looking back on her youthful days and considering the mess she faces now, what doesn't she understand?
Cheng Yize took a deep breath and looked at her: "Chen Qingxuan, have I been bad to you all these years? We've been together for so many years, from college to our wedding. Apart from the time you helped me in college, have I ever really wronged you? I let you stay home and be a housewife, let you manage all the money in the house, let you live in a big house, let you live well in a first-tier city. Are all of these my faults?"
"You keep trying to find the root cause, but is there anyone in this world who can honestly explain all their motives without any guilt? People are complicated. Even if I was really interested in someone else at first, we should judge things by their actions, not their intentions. In the end, I was still good to you. I gave you my youth and my wealth. What else are you dissatisfied with? You can tell me."
Cheng Yize spoke with a serious tone this time.
He really didn't understand what Chen Qingxuan was up to.
Yes, he is indeed a man from a humble background who has achieved success. He has always fought for his dignity, but unlike Qin Menghan, he did not try to take all the property for himself. He brought the money he earned back home and supported his family. He did not let his wife suffer any grievances, nor did he let her become a housewife who could only do housework in the eyes of others.
His wife lives a much better life than most people.
They came to this program after passing certain selection criteria.
If his family were truly so poor they couldn't afford to eat, they would never have come to this place.
But now that things have come to this, he still doesn't understand what Chen Qingxuan really wants.
She said these words in a public live broadcast, seemingly without considering the impact they would have on a successful man like him.
"And then what else do you want to say? Are you going to tell me about divorce? Don't you know that besides love, there's a more real marriage and children between us? How are you going to divide the children? You gave birth to both of them. You know how much they love you and how much you love them. Didn't you understand from the moment the children were born? It's very difficult for us to separate."
"If you've really been misled by others and insist on becoming an independent woman, then first think about whether your two children, without their father's guidance, can grow up to be well-rounded individuals. Why do you always listen to sweet talk? Don't you ever look at what your husband is busy with? I work so hard to support the family, only for you to ask me for a divorce at this crucial moment?"
"Oh, right, you should be happy, after all, I didn't give away a single penny of my extramarital assets. Even if the value of your labor at home isn't worth a few thousand dollars, you can still take away my millions of assets. So, is there anything else you want to say?"
Cheng Yize completely erupted.
