My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1399: Chapter 1209: Just Like That?

Good and evil have their consequences, and one must bear the consequences of their actions. I never knew whom these words were meant for, but now I’ve finally said them out loud, and I feel truly relieved. I never imagined that one day my heart would become so suppressed. I always believed that as long as there was love in my heart, no matter how many difficulties I faced, I could easily overcome them. But in the end, I was gravely mistaken. Nothing could lead me to the correct decision!”

”Zhihan, I understand what you mean by this, but let’s not speak so definitively between us. Maybe you never want to see me or have me in your life again, but do you know? When I am moved by a girl, how much pain my heart feels, how much I long to live with a smile because of her. I’m not a Saint; all I want are my heart’s truest desires. I only wish to live happily in my own fantasy!”

When you told me this today, I already knew your final decision. Actually, even if you said nothing or did nothing, I would still know the answer. You can’t possibly leave your current husband to be with me. There’s no way to go back to the past, even if I have sacrificed so much for you. Ultimately, it’s all in vain. Why seek further distress, making oneself uneasy?

Rest assured, I will definitely let go...”

...

The two of them returned to their respective homes, and no one could tell what had happened.

As Ran Zhihan turned around, her heart suddenly ached. After all, he was someone she once cared about. How could there be no feelings at all? She’s not made of stone; how could she have no emotions? Even grass knows it hurts when someone steps on it. Yet, the world is so difficult. In this chaotic world, no one can have smooth sailing without encountering any stumbling blocks. That’s impossible. Only by climbing to the peak of life step by step through one’s efforts can you look down at those around and know how happy and joyful your heart can be.

Zhang Yichen knew who his wife went to meet, but when he saw her return, he chose not to ask anything. Perhaps this is the deepest tacit understanding and trust between them.

No matter what each other has done, they will ultimately choose to unwaveringly trust this person. Maybe such a love is truly exhilarating. Perhaps only such love is worthy of a breathtaking affair—no matter for whom, no matter what difficulties occur between them, they will firmly hold each other’s hand and never let go.

”Zhihan, we have some time now. Let’s go visit Grandpa together. We should also discuss how we should live our lives. Don’t let the appearance of others disturb your spirits, and don’t let other people’s affairs trouble you. Everyone chooses a different path. Why bring others’ worries into your own heart?”

”Thank you, my dearest. You obviously knew who I went to meet, yet you chose not to mention it. Your trust alone is enough to move me. I’m truly grateful to be fortunate enough to become your spouse in this lifetime. I must admit that all the things I said before were merely said in anger. I just didn’t know how to explain it to you. I hope you can overlook it, and let’s create the most beautiful future together. Let’s not let any matter make our trust in each other fragile and breakable!”

Zhang Yichen and Ran Zhihan embraced each other tightly, knowing that this was the warmest and most precious embrace for each other.

”Now, looking back on everything I went through with your mother, it’s really nothing. I never thought I could go to such lengths for her, but ultimately, I still chose to hurt her. In your eyes, I was a villain beyond redemption. But who knew the torment and struggle in my heart at that time? I didn’t want to give up the one I loved the most.

But at the same time, I couldn’t bear having the one I loved the most putting me in a dishonorable position. How much I wished that none of what happened during that time ever occurred.

Yet I also understood that there’s no such thing as a remedy for regret. Whatever decisions I’ve made, I must bear their consequences alone. Who would pay for the mistakes you made in the past?

I never imagined that this is how he and I would splinter apart. Even more so, I didn’t expect that he would flee now. I’ve lost the last trace of him. After searching for him multiple times, there was nothing but silence, as elusive as finding a needle in a haystack. In that moment, it felt like my heart was being slashed into pieces, yet I could only force myself to endure. I couldn’t confide in anyone.

Many people covet everything, wishing to take over all that I’ve built painstakingly, swallowing all my hard-earned efforts. But how could I simply let go of everything so easily? If I lose it all, how could my heart be at peace? It is my life’s work; it’s what I held up through all the pains and challenges since childhood. I want to grasp it tightly in my own hands. I cannot bear to easily hand it over to someone else...”
