My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1812: Chapter 1606: Understand Me

No matter what it is, no matter the reason, as long as two people can be together, that is the greatest of destinies. Why bother pursuing so many things that don’t originally belong to you, only to increase your sorrow?

When Zhang Yichen saw his wife turn around and was about to leave, he reached out and grabbed her. He couldn’t just let his wife leave without a word; there were things that must be clarified to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future. Yet, he never imagined that his ruthless words this time would burden his wife’s heart for a lifetime, rendering it insurmountable. In the end, even if they continued to live together, it would merely be a courteous coexistence, never returning to the initial feeling. Their relationship was entirely destroyed because of his impulsiveness.

”How come I guessed right, so you feel embarrassed now and want to escape? Do you really have nothing to explain to me? Haven’t you ever thought, deep down, about being with me for wealth, living a life of opulence and prosperity without worries? If you are willing to tell me the truth, that you’re with me because of money, I can overlook everything and let you stay by my side.”

”Haha, you’re too arrogant. You always think being rich allows you to say whatever you want. You think having money means I’ll eternally love you without limits? The love I have is not for your money, not for your name, nor for your power. I love you as a person. You made me feel like a sunny boy back then, making me think you were truly worth entrusting my lifelong happiness to. But now I’ve realized you’re not worthy of my love. Why should I force myself to stay by your side, making you miserable and myself suffer? I don’t want to live like this anymore. Let’s take some time apart, calmly consider what should be done to result in the best outcome for both. Don’t make impulsive decisions that you’ll regret later!

Rest assured, I won’t tell Grandpa about today’s events, nor will I tell our son about our conflicts. I want them both to live carefree lives without being unhappy because of us. Grandpa is already old; remember to spend time with him. I won’t be accompanying him for now because I don’t know what role I should play when facing him. You’ve made your stance clear, and I understand what you mean. Don’t worry, once you’ve figured things out, I’ll give you a satisfactory answer!”

Zhang Yichen suddenly found himself speechless at this moment. Was his wife really going to leave him because of that one sentence? Then what was the years of waiting for? Was it all for today’s separation? Once, I waited for her for over a decade, and it ended with today’s painful goodbye. What have I been waiting for all these years without expecting anything in return?

”Have you thought it through? If you walk out of this house today, you might never have any opportunity to return. Are you really willing to leave all this wealth, prosperity behind? Do you truly not care about any of it in your eyes? Do you not care about our family, about Grandpa, our son, or me?”

Ran Zhihan paused and said, ”Perhaps in the past, I genuinely cared about each of you, treated you as my own family. I could discard everything I held dear for you, even give up my freedom, my principles, my dignity.

But today, I can’t do it like before, because you have started to doubt me. You don’t know why I chose to be with you. In your eyes, I’m just someone who married a man for money. You don’t think I love you. Since that’s the case, why do you hinder my life and not let me enjoy the life I desire?

Perhaps I cared very much about you all before, but now I don’t. I never cared about your money, so how could I care about it now? Initially, the person I cared most about was you, but today you have said things that humiliate me, cause me pain, leave me without words. I’ve chosen not to care about you anymore. Since I’ve chosen not to care about you, then I will strive to forget you, forget all the pain you’ve caused me, only keeping the most beautiful memories between us. Those memories will accompany me for a lifetime and never disappear, but the fate between us might have truly come to an end because of this. Although the heart will not be pained, whose heart will not feel any sadness?

Since you don’t believe me, don’t try to make me stay, because that would only make me see you as hypocritical. What I cared about in the past has all become irrelevant. There’s nothing in this current situation worth fighting for, worth guarding with all my might. Why should I keep being foolish and suffer so greatly for these things?”

Zhang Yichen finally understood now that his wife wasn’t with him because of money. It was just that he saw her associating with Chen Gang and his jealousy flared up, leading him to say those unthoughtful words which have now resulted in this outcome.

But when he regretted, it was already too late. His wife had already turned and left the house, never to return. Perhaps, they would really miss each other just like this.

Watching his wife leave home, he realized he truly couldn’t live without her. It was this one act that would cause him sorrow for a lifetime. But it’s already happened; these words came out of his own mouth, leaving him no way to back out gracefully. Why demean himself so much, make himself so humble?

Ran Zhihan was already in tears when she turned around. She couldn’t withstand her husband’s doubts; no wife doesn’t want to receive full trust from her husband. But some people just doubt their partners, ultimately causing discord in marriage.

Clearly, she cared about him so much, and could give up everything for him. But in his eyes, she ultimately was nothing.

Now she’s no longer the way she was before, no longer giving up everything and herself. She finally wants to live calmly and steadily, waiting quietly for the expectations she holds in her heart.
