My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1727: Chapter 1521: Deliberate

When you once told me you’d never let go, willing to wander the world with me, but in the end, you turned cold, until we both committed unforgivable mistakes.

Actually, everyone knows this love has left too much pain, the former vows have all turned into nothing in an instant. When you no longer treat love with the same purity as before, should I also stop longing for you from now on?

Zhang Zhentian was not resigned to Xia Jing so decisively hanging up his call, he dialed again and again, but the result was her phone being turned off.

”Could it be that our 17 years of marriage mean this little to you? Have you really been blind and indifferent to all the goodness I’ve shown you over the years? I really don’t know what more I need to do for you to see that you’re genuinely in my heart and understand how important you are to me?” Zhang Zhentian muttered to himself.

”Damn Zhentian, like a haunting shadow, I’ve said it so many times, yet he continues to pester me day after day. I really don’t know what this man is thinking. Is he truly just a stubborn fool?”

Though Xia Jing spoke such words, she understood in her heart that her husband’s repeated entanglement was because he loved her, otherwise he wouldn’t do so. If he didn’t love her, he’d let go generously, allowing her to leave, but he simply couldn’t because she still occupied a place in his heart. Yet she couldn’t be with him, for being with him brought too much pain and torment. She had given up so much for him, only to be heartlessly cast aside in the end. But if time were to go back, she would still choose to love Zhang Zhentian because she and Zhang Zhentian were destined for each other.

After Zhang Yichen saw the message sent by Ran Zhihan, he was deeply touched. He realized he had gone too far before; he shouldn’t have kept things from his wife. But he couldn’t bow down about this matter; if he did, he’d just choose to continue deeply loving his wife, and then his in-laws would surely compel his wife to divorce him. He knew his in-laws too well, so he couldn’t take such risks. He wanted his wife to spend her life here securely with him.

Zhang Yichen couldn’t bear leaving Ran Zhihan searching for him everywhere, only to find nothing because he had manipulated things so no one would reveal his whereabouts to his wife. He decided to reply to his wife’s message, at least to ease her mind.

”You don’t have to worry. I’m doing well alone outside right now. Just stay home and be at ease. When you figure things out, I’ll come back. Meanwhile, don’t send me any more messages, because I won’t reply!”

Ran Zhihan had been waiting for her husband’s reply. When her phone chimed, she immediately checked it. Indeed, it was Zhang Yichen’s message; she felt a bit overjoyed, as she always knew that no matter how they argued, her husband viewed her as essential as life itself and would never heartlessly abandon her. Now, her belief was confirmed; she felt immensely excited, but her heart darkened bit by bit upon reading the message.

”Husband, you are such a fool. You’re the man I love most. How could I stay calmly at home without you by my side? Please tell me where you are. I was wrong in this matter, I shouldn’t have lost my temper at you, I should understand and tolerate you, not blame you endlessly. Please forgive me!”

”Sorry, this wasn’t initially your fault, but the situation has reached a point where we can’t blame each other. I think we both need to calm down. Continuing to entangle like this benefits no one. I know you care about me and I care about you, but your decisions have rocked my core. Originally, I shouldn’t have lied to you. It was my fault, and my lie led to your grievances. But you shouldn’t have raged at me either. After all, we’re married. Isn’t there anything we can’t face together as a couple? Just because of a minor, well-intentioned lie, you lost your temper at me; where does that leave my dignity? Do you really regard me as your husband? If you still see me as the man you need most, then stop doubting, blaming, and complaining about me over and over again, okay? I don’t ask for much. I just hope to joyfully live with the one I love, to face hardships hand in hand, rather than doubting each other and clashing. I was moved by your initial loyalty to me, but when this time, over this lie, you raged at me, I couldn’t believe this was the girl I loved most. I hold you so dearly, yet because I agreed to a condition from your parents, you treat me like this. Maybe you don’t know why I agreed to such unreasonable demands from your parents, but it was all because I wanted to be with you! If your heart still holds me, this husband, then please stop bothering me for now. I hope we both take some time to reflect on why we chose to be together and why, having chosen to be together, we are constantly at odds. Why can’t you understand me? These are questions worth thoroughly considering. I don’t want us to have any more unpleasantness for any reason. I just hope we can peacefully live out our lives, and that’s already enough. Three years is neither short nor long. I’m giving us three years to rethink. If after three years, being with me doesn’t bring you the happiness you want, you can file for divorce and leave. But if you’re willing to continue building our future together after three years, then I will stay with you, unwavering, for a lifetime. These three years are a test of our relationship and fate, a test of all aspects of our marriage. I hope these three years won’t lead to disappointment, and won’t leave us as strangers after they pass.”

”I understand your purpose now. Rest assured, I won’t disturb you anymore. Just focus on your matters with peace of mind!”

Why did you hurt me so cruelly, making me search for you so painstakingly for so long!
