My Alleged Husband

Chapter 600: Chapter 579: Are You Threatening Me_1

”When did we become what we are now? How could you have the heart to threaten me with such things? You clearly know how hard my parents have struggled all these years for my sake, yet in the end, they chose to let us live together. Why can’t you just appreciate the deep concern of a father?

Your father did so many outrageous and conscienceless deeds, harming your mother for his own selfish gains, yet you forgave him. Both your parents abandoned you at some point, and still, you held no grudges. What have my parents done wrong? They just hoped I could live a stable life. Can’t you understand that in your eyes?

I always thought that as long as we were together, we could overcome any difficulty in the world. But now I’ve realized, it’s not that simple. If your heart isn’t with me, what’s the use of being together?”

Ran Zhihan never imagined her husband would threaten her with such an unreasonable demand. She had never been filial to her parents, and now, how could she let them shuttle back and forth and worry tirelessly because of her? If that were the case, what right did she have to call herself their daughter?

”Zhihan, you know full well that’s not what I mean. All I wanted was a clear answer from you. Whatever decision you make, I’ve never blamed you. I’ve always believed in my heart that you truly love me. I waited years for you, always without regret. I’ve never regretted the youthful years, the time and waiting I invested in you. The only thing I regret now is why I’ve tolerated every mistake you made time and time again. I tolerated you because I regarded you sincerely as my wife. But did you ever treat me as your husband in every action you took? Don’t you know that these things you’ve done make me feel desperate and humiliated?

The truth is, you’ve never thought about how much embarrassment your actions could bring me, nor have you considered how they could affect our marital relationship. You’ve always been so selfish, only wanting the life you desired, never caring about others’ feelings. I’m terrified that sometimes you might say something heartless to me. I can’t believe the woman I’ve worked so hard to understand could be someone who is so ruthless in achieving her goals, did you know that?”

”Don’t you realize that what you’re saying right now really hurts? When have I ever been so unscrupulous to achieve my goals? Since I’ve been with you, I’ve never regretted anything I’ve done for you. I don’t care how much I have to give for you; I’m just afraid it wouldn’t be enough to make you feel loved. I’ve fought hard to care for you, to protect you at all costs, but in the end, this is the result I get. How could my heart not be broken and pained?”

”So what, you use this way to hurt me, to treat our family like this? Even if you’re unhappy with me, you could’ve told me plainly. We’re husband and wife; there’s nothing we shouldn’t be able to speak frankly about. Yet, you chose the most cruel and hurtful way to deal with me. Do you dare say that you really love me in your heart? Can you believe that this is genuine love?

I always thought you were a sensible woman, a woman who could overlook past faults for our family. But it turns out to be impossible.

Zhihan, it really hasn’t been easy for us to be together. Think about how much we’ve given and endured to be together. We both know what we’ve been through. Don’t you really have no regrets? Do you really want to make me the ugliest person in the world?”

”And do you know, everything you’ve said today has made me feel like the loneliest person on earth. That yearning has taken deep root in my heart. I’ve been longing for the times when I was with you, so much that I can hardly believe myself. Now I realize, no matter how deeply I pine, it’s all a mockery to myself. My love will never bring you back, because you’ve already turned away. The rapport we had is gone, your heart no longer has a place for me, and you have long since disregarded me.”

Zhang Yichen hadn’t expected his wife would one day become so hard to persuade. Had he really gone too far? He had never imagined ending up like this, with all he ever wanted being to return to the beginning. Why had things gone from bad to worse? Had life become this difficult?

”I really don’t want to talk to you anymore right now. Think carefully about what you should do. Don’t make decisions that will make us both regret. I can pretend not to know about your past mistakes, I can let them go, but I also hope you understand I’m doing this not for any other reason but hoping that one day you will clearly understand why I chose this path, why I treat you this way.

I don’t want to meddle in your affair with Chen Gang anymore, so you better take care of yourself. There shouldn’t be a next time; I really can’t bear the betrayal from my own wife. Do you know how agonizing it is to be cuckolded? I am a man; I cannot be without desires or give up my basic dignity, especially when it involves the woman I love most!

Don’t force me to say even more heartless and cruel things. We should be living well together, not like this. And don’t talk about me threatening you with that matter—I just don’t want your parents to be troubled because of you. You should also know that all the expenses your parents incurred living abroad all these years have been covered by me alone. Your family doesn’t have the financial means to live abroad indefinitely, so you had better watch yourself!”
