My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1714: Chapter 1508: Your Life

Because you have your own life, and I have my journey, and there is someone waiting for you ahead.

We all have times of growing up, and everyone’s growth process is different. There are times when I feel not particularly happy, but my heart is still very uncomfortable.

Time is continuously flowing toward the distance. Zhang Yichen and Ran Zhihan’s child is already slowly learning to walk on the ground. This day came so fast that everyone was a bit overwhelmed, not expecting the child to grow up so quickly. But as the child grows day by day, their parents are also getting older day by day, bringing a little excitement and inevitably a bit of sadness to everyone’s hearts.

Old Master Zhang watched as Zhang Ni could already start walking. He muttered to himself: Time really does fly so quickly, didn’t expect that just a few months ago it was a palm-sized baby, now can walk independently on the ground. Turns out I’m really getting old. I don’t know how much time the heavens have left for me to stay in this world. If on the day I enter the coffin, I could fulfill all of my heart’s wishes, how wonderful that would be. But why do all my wishes seem so small to me, yet so difficult to everyone else? Why is no one willing to put in a little effort for my little wishes? Everything turned out this way all because of me, it seems. Why is there no one willing to strive a bit for me? Is it really that hard to fight a little for myself?

Ran Zhihan would listen to her grandpa muttering to himself every day, saying things she often couldn’t understand. She didn’t know what some of Old Master Zhang’s words meant, so she asked her husband, telling him her grandpa asked this question. Then she understood just how much pain her grandpa had inside.

”Husband, what do you think grandpa is mumbling about over there? His eyes seemed to turn red as he spoke, is he about to cry? I’ve never seen grandpa so fragile before. In my mind, he has always been a strong man who wouldn’t shed a tear over small things. But today, why is grandpa talking to himself about things he wants to say, and his eyes are already red?”

”Wife, don’t you understand what kind of person grandpa is? To others, our grandpa always seems so strong, so upright. But no one knows how much pain he holds inside. Everything he does, no one understands, no one feels the pain inside him. Everyone always just thinks about their own benefits, no one ever thinks about what kind of encouragement grandpa needs in his heart. You see, grandpa always puts on a smiling face for us, don’t you know his heart is actually very pained? But he doesn’t want to bring this pain upon us, so even though his heart is in pain, he can only smile forcibly in front of me. He wants us to know that by facing life with a smile, you will be rewarded. On the day you smile, he believes if you always return a smile to society, then one day, heaven will repay you with a smile. Yet, grandpa doesn’t know that his smiles have given love to so many people, but he didn’t expect never to be loved by anyone himself!”

”Yes! Grandpa has been so pitiful in his life, he gave so much for us, but we couldn’t do anything for him. I wish time could turn back. If it could go backward, I would definitely honor grandpa well. I want to let him live every day happily, make sure every day he spends with me is from the heart’s genuine laughter, not conjured up for the sake of our happiness. But that day will never come again, time has already flowed toward the distance, already impossible to return, and my grandpa is also aging with the passage of time. We are also growing day by day, watching our son slowly learn to grow up, watching him become cuter by the day makes me a bit reluctant. I’m afraid time will forever flow in this direction, and I won’t have the time to see clearly what my son becomes! Actually, the scariest thing in this life isn’t losing a person, it’s losing someone without understanding what you’ve lost. When you look back, you realize you lost the person who cared about you the most, loved you the most, only then does your heart truly feel multiplied pain, and this pain cannot be relieved at any moment. No one can understand where this pain comes from, nor can anyone bear this pain for you!”

Zhang Yichen knew every word his wife said was sincere, and she meant every word truly, but he didn’t know how to respond. He had heard such words more than once, yet they always led to no good result for himself. He knew inner pain lies not in easily spoken words, but in the outcome predetermined by others from the start, again and again sprinkling salt on his wounds. That kind of pain is like tearing the heart apart, but who can help you? No one is willing to help you bear it together.

Zhang Ni approached her parents, hugged Ran Zhihan, and said to her: ”Mom, why does it seem other children have grandparents by their side, but I don’t? Where have my grandparents gone? Why don’t they want to come back to stay by my side? Is it because they think I’m not cute enough? Or that I’m not well-behaved enough? I really wish my grandparents would also come back to stay with me, even if only for a day, I would be very happy. Wow, I haven’t seen my grandparents in so long, I really miss them. Mom, can you tell me where they went? I want to find them and bring them back to stay with me, play with me. Other kids have their parents to play with and their grandparents too, but I only have my parents and a great-grandfather, and my grandparents are not with me, it makes my heart feel so uncomfortable.”

No one present expected that such a young child not yet two years old could say such things. This child’s intelligence is simply extraordinary; with such looks and brains, he will be a real charmer in the future.

”We will all have moments of wobbly steps in the future, we need to support each other, help each other, only then can we stay together for a lifetime, we should live happily!”

Will you come back to my side?
