My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1501: Chapter 1295: If He Can Do It, So Can I

I always thought I couldn’t be as heartless as her, but now I know, if she can, so can I.

Ran Zhihan walked alone on the street, like a walking corpse, feeling nothing as the heavy rain poured down. She walked silently, completely unaware that it was raining.

All he knew was how much pain he felt watching his husband say such heartless words to him, and he was powerless. Obviously, he could have resolved this matter in a better way, but why was he so impulsive, letting things turn out this way? Why could he never get a good remark from him about anything he did?

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. All his years of hard work had been in vain. There was no place for him in her heart, so why force himself to stay by her side? If he didn’t want to spend his life with him, why should he stubbornly cling to him and make himself so insignificant?

Ran Zhihan didn’t know that while she was sad, her husband was also on the other side, heartbroken and helpless. Clearly, the woman he loved was right in front of him, yet he couldn’t set aside his so-called dignity and pride to embrace her deeply. He could only watch helplessly as the woman he had waited for so many years slowly left his side, and he could never take that step.

Regret and pain intertwined, making his heart extremely tormented. Clearly, what he did and what he wanted weren’t like this, but why was everything always beyond his expectations? Would he never get what he wanted? Was he destined to spend his entire life alone?

After Zhang Yichen’s wife left, he had already released Chen Gang. He thought it was unnecessary to keep Chen Gang in his warehouse. If he continued like this, it would only lead to a point of no return. Murder was a road of no return. If he set foot on this path, there would be no way to start over in life. He couldn’t let his grandfather or son be shamed by his actions.

He deeply knew that his family was a Wealthy Family and of scholarly descent. How could it become a murderer’s domain?

After Chen Gang was released, he learned that the woman he loved had already left this man’s side. He didn’t know what to feel, maybe happy, maybe sad. Happy that he finally had a chance, sad that he ultimately ruined what was once a happy home. He wandered aimlessly down the street, searching for her, hoping to find the one he loved and comfort her, so that such painful events wouldn’t occupy her entire soul. Otherwise, how could he peacefully live the rest of his life?

Perhaps heaven does not disappoint those who are determined. As he was walking by the lake, he saw the woman he loved most and saw the look of despair in her eyes. All of this was because of him; he destroyed her happy life.

”Zhihan, are you okay? I know, I’ve realized everything. I didn’t expect my presence to bring so much trouble into your life. I didn’t expect he would say such heartless things to you, nor did I think you would choose to leave him. Would you give me a chance? I know saying this now may not be the right time, but I hope you’ll consider it. I truly love you!”

Ran Zhihan looked up at Chen Gang with a bitter smile, his heart tormented by it all. This was all because of the man in front of him, but why did he always pretend to be so pure, so innocent? Didn’t he realize that in his eyes, the one at fault wasn’t him but himself?

Chen Gang reached out to grab Ran Zhihan’s hand, but Ran Zhihan pushed his hand away.

”Chen Gang, are you satisfied now? Because of you, I lost everything I once cared about. Because of you, my family is now broken. I can’t even go home, even though I have family around who I can’t embrace. Are you happy?

Don’t tell me you didn’t mean to do all this. I don’t care if it was intentional or not. I only want to know what your heart is made of. How can you bear to destroy my family like this? I truly treated you as a good friend. I never imagined growing old with you. Why are you always so self-righteous? Have you any idea how much your actions have ruined me? I’m already the loneliest person in the world. Do you think I’m not miserable enough? Do you want to continue mocking and hurting me?

Chen Gang, when I became the loneliest person in the world, I realized I would never have the chance to live a life full of joy. Whether you stay by my side or not doesn’t matter because you’ve never been the Prince I imagined in my heart. No matter how learned or wealthy you are, I don’t care about any of it. I only care about living with the man I love. Maybe you don’t understand, but my heart desperately longs for a perfect family, untouched by anything!”

”Zhihan, how could you be the loneliest person in the world? You silly girl, even if everyone in the world abandons you, refusing to treat you as family, you still have me! As long as you turn around, you’ll see I’m waiting for you in silence, hoping that one day you’ll see me and choose to be with me. Do you know? I’ve waited so long for this day. Maybe you don’t understand what that feels like, but don’t say you’re the loneliest person in the world.”

”Aren’t I the loneliest person now? My husband abandoned me because of you, and my once-happy home has turned into this because of your presence. How can my heart not feel pain and hatred?”

Hope is but a luxury. No one can unwaveringly wait for all the expectations in two hearts.
