My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1194 - 1029: Never Listened to Explanations, Never Gave a Chance (Part 9)

They began the game they had planned long ago.

In the first round, Zhang Zhentian searched the entire private room but couldn’t find Xia Jing. He conceded and took three shots as punishment, because if he couldn’t find her, he had to drink three glasses. And he had to keep searching until he found her.

In the second round, Zhang Zhentian called Xia Jing on the phone, but Xiao Wei and the others were prepared; they had already turned off Xia Jing’s phone.

...

Round after round, Zhang Zhentian still couldn’t find Xia Jing. In the end, Xiao Wei and the others got him so drunk that he collapsed onto the sofa!

When Xia Jing came out, she saw Zhang Zhentian already passed out. She felt helpless, though she knew this had been pre-arranged by their friends, but she also knew it was their blessing to her and Zhentian, and a test for both of them.

"Thank you all for coming today. It’s getting late, so I’ll take Zhentian home first. We’ll meet again when there’s time!"

With that, Xia Jing carried Zhang Zhentian into the car to go home!

"Son, in essence, you’ll gradually realize that your father actually truly loves me. He’s willing to sacrifice everything for me. In your hearts, it may seem that it’s not love; it was just a strategy to keep me by his side. But deep in my heart, it is undying love for me. That kind of love is incredibly challenging for me, and I’m willing to give my all for him at least once.

Marriage is like a tomb, and at the same time like a gamble. Win, and you’ll be happy for a lifetime; lose, and you’ll suffer for a lifetime!"

Zhang Yichen felt that his marriage had already been scripted. It wasn’t until he saw the people around him leave him that he realized it was truly a gamble. He had ended this gamble early, letting his closest ones leave him, and allowing all those he loved to disappear step by step. In his world, perhaps this was a pain he’d never face in his lifetime. It’s a scar that can’t heal.

Zhang Zhentian rarely felt so content. Perhaps he once thought he and Xia Jing wouldn’t last, but now he absolutely wouldn’t think that way. He would pamper Xia Jing and take care of her until he leaves this world!

The two hurriedly parted ways, each heading to their own home.

"Zhentian, you’re back?" Zhang Zhentian was asked with joy when he returned.

"Dad, there’s something I want to discuss with you," Zhang Zhentian said to Old Master Zhang.

"Perfect, I have something to discuss with you too. Come over and sit," Old Master Zhang beckoned Zhang Zhentian to sit beside him.

"Dad, you go first!"

"Zhentian, you’ve proposed to Xia Jing a while ago; when do you plan to get married? I heard Li Haixiao’s daughter, Li Jiayuan, is about to get married. You and Xia Jing aren’t going to marry after her, are you? That wouldn’t do, I’m waiting to hold my grandchild! So I wanted to ask if you could finalize the wedding with Xia Jing sooner?" Old Master Zhang didn’t want Zhang Zhentian and Xia Jing’s wedding to be postponed too long, lest complications arise.

Zhang Zhentian didn’t expect his father to bring this up first. Wasn’t that why he came back today? It seemed all he needed was to go with the flow and agree!

"Dad, to be honest, that’s exactly what I want to discuss with you today. I think that since Xia Jing and I have been engaged for quite some time, we should get married. I can’t be engaged forever and not marry, right? If I don’t get married, how can you hold a grandchild, right?" Zhang Zhentian said with a grin to Old Master Zhang.

Old Master Zhang always wanted to hold a grandchild soon, so hearing Zhang Zhentian say this made him even happier, and he readily agreed, "Yes, yes, exactly. So what do you mean?"

Old Master Zhang wasn’t quite sure of Zhang Zhentian’s real intention.

"Dad, how could you get confused at a time like this? Don’t you understand what I mean?" Zhang Zhentian looked at Old Master Zhang with a somewhat speechless expression. Old Master Zhang looked at Zhang Zhentian, really not understanding what he meant, and got even more confused by Zhang Zhentian’s words.
