My marriage with Lu Jingtian has come to an end. He is resolute, willing to give up everything for Meng Shasha. I asked painfully, "Lu Jingtian, are you sure you know?"
"What do you mean?"
"What I want."
He replied calmly, "Whatever you want, just say it, and I will try my best to fulfill it."
"Does that include divorce?"
"Yes."
His tone was firm: "Li Ying, let's get a divorce."
I laughed bitterly: "Lu Jingtian, I've given you everything; what more do you want?"
He was silent for a moment before softly saying, "She is pregnant."
Those words shattered me completely. Fifteen years ago, I was also pregnant with his child. At that time, we had just started our freshman year in college and were very poor, unable to even gather enough for living expenses. The child had to be aborted. That night, I cried heartbreakingly while he held me tightly, his voice choked: " Xiao Inn, I'm sorry; I can't give you happiness right now."
"Wait until I earn enough money; then we can have a child."
A year later, his paintings gained some recognition in the circle, and someone was willing to pay hundreds of thousands for his work. We were thrilled, thinking the hard days were finally over. But the good times didn't last long; someone reported him for plagiarism in his paintings, and the buyers demanded refunds. Lu Jingtian was severely impacted and fell into despair. He couldn't find a job and could only take odd jobs to barely make ends meet. After I graduated, I chose to stay at school and worked hard, hoping to help him pick up the brush again.
I encouraged him: "Jingtian, you have talent; don't waste it."
"We'll take it slow; everything will get better."
He shook his head with a bitter smile: "It won't get better; I have no talent; I'm just a plagiarist."
" Xiao Inn, I'm a fraud; I'm sorry."
I held him tightly as tears streamed down my face: "You're not a fraud; you've just hit a bottleneck."
"Everyone goes through low points; once you get through it, everything will be fine."
He kissed my forehead and choked out, " Xiao Inn, I'm sorry for dragging you down."
"No."
I shook my head. "As long as I'm with you, I'm very happy."
"It used to be you protecting me; now it's my turn to protect you."
At that time, we had nothing but a sincere heart.
We walked out of the countryside together,
struggled in the capital together, and worked hard for our lives.
We ate instant noodles, lived in basements, squeezed onto buses, and worked overtime until dawn.
We couldn't bear to buy clothes or shoes,
just to save a little more money, just a bit more.
We couldn't bear to travel or watch movies,
just to buy a house sooner, get married, and have children.
For this family, we worked tirelessly and dared not rest.
Now, we have bought a house, bought a car, and are living a stable life.
But Lu Jingtian no longer wants to walk with me.
He has met younger and prettier girls outside.
He has fallen in love with her and wants to be with her.
What about me?
What does my fifteen years of companionship mean to him?
I remember last night when he coldly hung up the phone,
not even willing to say goodnight.
He must be with Meng Shasha now.
They embrace, kiss, make love, and stay awake all night.
They talk about art, life, and ideals; they have endless conversations.
But they don't know that I spent the night alone in the dark, thinking all night long.
I can't understand what I did wrong for Lu Jingtian to abandon me.
I clearly... treated him so well.
I clearly... sacrificed so much for him.
I gave birth to his child, gave up my job for him,
and took care of his parents.
I worked like a horse for him; I was his servant.
In the end, he only said one thing: "I am serious about Sasha."
My heart shattered completely.
He has genuinely fallen in love with someone else and seriously wants to divorce me.
Love is truly a ridiculous thing.
That night, I don't know how I made it back to my room.
I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, tears streaming down silently.
Lu Jingtian was still in the living room packing his things.
He was moving out.
To live with Meng Shasha.
I closed my eyes and let the tears flow freely.
I couldn't understand what I had done wrong for Lu Jingtian to treat me this way.
I accompanied him through hardships, supported him in his struggles, and walked with him to this point.
In the end, I became his burden.
Are all men like this?
They don't cherish what they have until they lose it and then regret it.
I became hysterical.
I refused to divorce, recounting all my sacrifices for him,
the hardships we had endured together.
These words only strengthened his resolve to divorce.
He said, "Li Ying, the more you act like this, the more I look down on you."
This statement brought me back to reality.
It turns out that when love dies, the heart shatters.
