Looking at Ji Ping's guilty face, Zheng Wenjing felt as if a huge stone was pressing on her chest, and her heart sank.
Outside the window, the chirping of cicadas in the trees suddenly became sharp.
Zheng Wenjing listened to the shrill chirping of cicadas outside, and the scene before her eyes gradually blurred. In a trance, she seemed to be back to the day she married Ji Ping.
The young man blushed as he made a lifelong promise to her amid the cheers of his relatives and friends. Stars seemed to twinkle in his sincere eyes. At that moment, he seemed to be glowing.
From that day on, her love gilded his ordinary face.
And women will do earth-shatteringly stupid things for love.
For six whole years, she never doubted his problem.
So even if the results of each examination showed no problems, she was still willing to force herself to drink those bitter and disgusting Chinese medicines for him, for love, and to be able to give birth to the fruit of their love.
For a period of time, she developed acute liver damage due to drinking a folk remedy that Ji Ping's mother had come up with from somewhere. Not only did her face turn pale, but even her eyes were yellow.
He hugged her with tears in his eyes, and told her not to drink those unknown folk remedies anymore.
It was also at that time that Ji Ping told her for the first time that if they didn't have a child, then there would be no child. At worst, they could adopt one later. A child was not as important as her health.
At that time, she was deeply moved when she heard it.
How can I not be moved?
A man would rather never have his own children in order to prevent her from taking those harmful folk remedies for having a child.
Such love is so great and selfless.
But when she thought about it now, Zheng Wenjing felt nauseous as if she had swallowed a fly.
How touched I was then, how disgusted I am now.
What was he thinking when he hugged her and cried?
Is he feeling sorry for the suffering she is going through physically, or is he glad that he is not the one suffering?
Zheng Wenjing thought to herself, she had suffered so much just to have a child, and he hadn't chosen to tell the truth even when he was heartbroken and crying. So the probability of him confessing the truth in the future was probably almost zero.
So, no matter how much he said he loved her, he actually loved himself the most.
like……
Oh.
Zheng Wenjing felt disheartened, and the love she once had seemed to have dissipated with the hot summer wind.
Ji Ping knew nothing about Zheng Wenjing's mental journey.
He thought Zheng Wenjing was speaking the truth, and he refuted her earnestly, "Wenjing, you're my wife. It's my duty to stand by you in front of the family. This is my most basic obligation as a husband. You didn't even speak up for my mother. She was wrong, and we can't forgive her unconditionally just because she's the elder. Since she refuses to apologize to you, there's really no need for her to come home. Otherwise, if she opens her mouth, everyone will be upset."
"Also, about the child..." At this point, Ji Ping subconsciously pursed his dry lips, his voice a little lower than before: "Don't feel too stressed about the child. There are many people who have been married for more than ten years without having children, and they are living well. At worst, we can wait a few years and adopt one from an orphanage. It's up to us to choose a boy or a girl. If you want to raise a boy, choose a boy, if you want to raise a girl, choose a girl. It's more convenient than giving birth yourself."
Zheng Wenjing listened to Ji Ping's words quietly, feeling extremely ironic in her heart.
He had planned it long ago, but he kept it a secret from her, and watched helplessly as she went through so much in vain and endured so much unnecessary suffering just to have a child of her own.
Zheng Wenjing's eyes were red and bitter tears kept welling up in her eyes.
Ji Ping noticed the tears in her eyes and panicked, "Wen Jing, why are you crying?"
Zheng Wenjing sniffed, shook her head and said nothing.
Ji Ping took a few steps forward, held Zheng Wenjing's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Wenjing, don't be silent. I feel anxious when you don't speak."
"If you think there's something wrong with what I said, tell me. If there's anything, we can discuss and solve it, okay?"
With filming about to begin, Zheng Wenjing didn't want to provoke a quarrel with him, so she casually said, "I just feel sad. I don't want to adopt someone else's child. I still want to have a child for both of us."
Ji Ping's eyes dimmed, but he still forced a smile and said, "What's there to cry about?"
He raised his hand to wipe the tears from Zheng Wenjing's eyes and said, "What I just said was the worst-case scenario. We don't necessarily have to adopt. We're still young. Maybe one day the right time will come and the child will be born. Relax and don't put so much pressure on yourself."
Zheng Wenjing took a deep breath, forced a twitch of her lips, and agreed with him, "That's right. I also think that we are both still young and in good health, so why should we go to an orphanage to adopt a child? You're exaggerating a bit."
"I'm just trying to comfort you." A hint of bitterness flashed across Ji Ping's eyes, and he forced a smile and said, "I'm just saying this to tell you not to put so much pressure on yourself. The arrival of a child depends on fate, and we can just let nature take its course."
Zheng Wenjing hummed, held her injured forehead, and said, "Ji Ping, I feel a little tired. I want to sleep for a while."
"Okay, go to sleep." Ji Ping said, "I'm going to the factory. This trip to Jibei was too rushed, and some things are unresolved."
"good."
