My Alleged Husband

Chapter 584: Chapter 563: Was I Wrong?_1

”Zhihan, how could you do this to me? Over the years, I’ve endured so much hardship and suffering for you. Do you even realize that if it weren’t for my steadfast belief that once I returned home I could spend my life with you, I wouldn’t have persevered until today? I wouldn’t have foolishly waited for you for so many years, only to end up with this outcome. Doesn’t your heart feel even a slight pang of guilt for treating me this way?”

”I don’t know why you’re with him, but I can see that he no longer trusts you. A marriage without trust can’t be a happy one. Why do you insist on staying by his side and demean yourself to please him? You’ll feel so wronged!”

”As long as you’re willing to be with me, I can give up everything in the world. If only you would agree to be with me, I could forgo everything else in my life. All I want is to live a peaceful life with you. Is that so difficult in your eyes? Why won’t you trust me more, believe in me a little more? Is it really that hard?”

”Is it because I used you, took advantage of your trust, that you have to hate me like this for a lifetime? I’m not a wicked person; all I wanted was to achieve my dreams by any means necessary. Is that also wrong? For you, I’ve changed from who I used to be. For you, I’ve studied desperately, tried so hard to study abroad, and now that I’ve finally returned, this is how you treat me. My heart feels utterly wretched...”

”Chen Gang, you don’t need to say these words to me because they can’t affect me anymore. Whether my husband trusts me or not, being with him is a major decision I’ve made in my life. Since I chose to spend my life with him, I will not betray him midway, nor will I distrust my husband because of someone else.”

”I don’t want to delve into who was right or wrong in this matter, but at the very least, I understand that it’s not like what you imagine. Maybe you don’t understand my husband. He may seem cold and fluctuating towards me, but deep down he cares about me a lot. If a man doesn’t mind his wife having relations with other men, then he doesn’t deserve to be called a man!”

”Cheng Gong, I truly hate you for using me, but now I understand. My husband is jealous of me; he can’t stand to see me beg for someone unrelated to us. And for him to treat you this way, well, I have no other choice. Since he doesn’t want you in this world, I will still do my utmost to plead with him, to spare you and let you leave this place, to live peacefully without losing everything because of an unrelated woman like me.”

”I’ve never been a good woman from the start. I had no idea you paid such a heavy price for me, and you don’t deserve to go to such lengths for me. I know what you’re thinking, and I don’t care whether you used me or not. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other...”

”All the trust I had in you has been completely exhausted due to that one instance of exploitation. I don’t ask for much, just to live the life I desire, peacefully. I’m not greedy, nor am I someone who will go to any lengths for personal gain. All I want is to have the person I love by my side. Perhaps you won’t understand this feeling, but to me, it’s a wonderful feeling, one that makes my heart leap with joy!”

”Just promise me that you won’t disturb me again, and we can live separate lives and be just fine. Why keep entangling with each other? You’re only making me feel passive. I don’t know how to face you, and all I know is that because of you, my husband has started to doubt me. He no longer trusts me like he used to, and it’s a deep wound in my heart. All I wanted was his wholehearted trust, but because of your appearance and actions, he has changed his entire attitude!”

”So what you’re saying is that I shouldn’t have returned, that my coming back was a mistake entirely, and that it has made your life miserable and put you in such a passive position?”

”When it comes down to it, you still think it’s all my fault, don’t you? You haven’t once considered what led us here. Can you truthfully say there is not a single thing in your heart? Can you say you never thought about spending your life with me? Even though you’re married to someone else now, have you truly forgotten me?”

”I don’t need your answers or promises; I just need an honest response. Do you think my returning home was a mistake? Do you think that everything that’s happened and got us to this point is all my fault? If it weren’t for me, wouldn’t you be spared this embarrassment?”

Ran Zhihan didn’t know how to answer. The truth was that no one was at fault in this situation; it was all an uncontrollable series of events. But why had it become so awkward, making everyone feel so passive? Why had this event caused everyone to end up like this?

Was what she wanted truly so hard to attain? Why could she never have the things she cared about? Why was she always treated this way, and why was the universe so unjust?

Having already lost so much, did she have to lose the person she loved most once again because of this?

Ran Zhihan couldn’t accept it, nor could Chen Gang!

Nobody cared about the person they once loved so dearly, and how a single oversight had led to their current situation.

No one could foresee what outcomes they would face or know what trials they would endure next, nor could anyone predict who would eventually hold their love dear, and whether they could be with the one they loved after returning home. Perhaps there would never be a day of success.
