Stealing Your Heart

“If I’m ever given a choice, I will never choose him to be my dad!” Li Zhan shouted and flung Li Jing’s hand away before he darted out the door.

Sobbing on the couch, Li Jing complained to Wen Qing, “Our son is a grown-up now. Your words are too harsh. I would be mad as well if I put myself in his shoes. Ever since he’s born, you’ve always been busy, spending way more time in the military than at home, so he grew up like a child without a father. How could you ask him to join the military just like that?

You even beat him when he rejected it. No wonder he refuses to obey you. Ask yourself whether you’ve been a good father. You keep saying that he’s rebellious, but you never care to find out why he always rebels against you.”

Li Jing was feeling increasingly aggrieved. She’d been taking care of the family alone all these years. Being stoic and blunt, her husband had never been gentle to her. They had only one son, but her husband fought with him every time they met one another. As a result, her family never felt warm and homey.

Tears trickled down Li Jing’s cheeks unceasingly as she cried her heart out.

“Stop crying already. It’ll be so embarrassing if anyone sees you now,” Wen Qing grumbled.

His wife stood up abruptly. “I won’t stop! I’ll go out and cry out loud in the neighborhood so everyone will see it, and you’ll be so embarrassed.”

“You’re being unreasonable!” Wen Qing turned around to walk away, rage filling him.

Li Jing screamed at him, “Wen Qing, let me warn you. If you ever fight with our son again, I’ll divorce you!”

The man was dumbstruck. The couple had been married for decades. Li Jing had always been diligent and docile, but she was now asking for a divorce.

“Are you insane?”

“Yes, I am, and it’s because of you! Despite being with you for decades, I’ve asked nothing from you. No matter what you do, I’ve always supported you unconditionally. But look at you, have you been tolerant and considerate toward me? All I want is only a loving and close-knit family.” Li Jing expressed her frustration and grief while wiping the tears off her cheeks with her hand. “How often were you with me when I was pregnant? I went to the hospital alone for every prenatal check-up. During the third trimester, my legs cramped, and I struggled to sleep at night, but you were not there to care for me.”

Wen Qing stood motionless in bewilderment. This was the first time Li Jing forgot herself and poured her heart out.

Despite being cold-hearted, he was moved by her words.

I admit that I’ve overlooked my family when I was younger and focused on my career.

I know I’ve wronged her, but there’s no way I’m going to admit my fault. I can’t bring myself to apologize humbly and comfort her.
