My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1930: Chapter 1725: Out of Reach

The love between us is like unachievable love, impossible to grasp, with no end.

”Zhang Yichen, do you really think that by treating me this way, your wife will stay with you forever? Actually, you’re mistaken. Your wife has always been using you, he doesn’t truly love you; he’s only with you for money. What makes you think he would sincerely spend his life with you?” Chen Gang shouted at the backs of the departing couple, unwilling to accept that the love he had finally found would end this way. He was unwilling to accept that the girl he had waited so long for would end up abandoning him for this man. Did he really mean nothing to them?

Ran Zhihan, upon hearing Chen Gang’s words, finally understood that everything her husband said was true. This man only claimed to truly love her to win her over for his own gain, but in the end, it was all for exploitation.

Ran Zhihan walked as she looked up at her husband. She couldn’t make out any expression on his face, and she didn’t understand his mindset. Was he happy, or was he sad? His wife had done something that made her heartbroken, and yet she had no way to remedy the situation.

Zhang Yichen seemed to understand the conflict in Ran Zhihan’s heart, yet he didn’t know what to say. He knew he was partly at fault, but he could never comprehend why his wife betrayed him despite his own failings as a husband.

Did he mean so little in his wife’s eyes? Could she easily betray him after hearing a few sweet words from someone else? Did he still hold any place in her heart? What status did he have in her mind?

”Say what you want to say. There’s no need to look at me hesitantly. That look bothers me. You always had this look, and I always yielded to it in the past. But today, I’m not going to do that. You’ve already hurt me. Whatever you want to say, say it outright. Don’t use nonverbal cues to deceive me.”

”I know what happened today is my fault. I know you’re hurt by this, but can’t you trust me? It wasn’t intentional. I didn’t know this would happen to me. I just wanted to live a peaceful life with you, but I never expected it to be so difficult. I never thought he would do such a thing to me. It might be hard for you to accept, but believe me, my heart is also in pain.

I admit, I used to act in ways that hurt and upset you. I never considered your feelings before. But I’ve changed now. I don’t live as thoughtlessly as I used to. Now, everything I do is centered around you.

Because I want to spend my life with you, you might think I’m lying, but one day you’ll realize everything I’m saying now is true. I’ll prove it with my actions. Everything I’m saying now comes from the depths of my heart. It’s not a lie to deceive you.”

”I know I have no right to ask you to forgive me. I can’t expect you to overlook this as if it never happened. Even my own heart feels sickened by this, let alone yours.

I understand that what happened would be unacceptable to anyone, especially a man. You love me so much, yet I did something to hurt you, damaging our happiness. How could your heart not ache? You didn’t expose me today only because of our son. I really hope you’ll give me another chance. Don’t pass judgment based on this one incident. I’m not that shameless.”

”Actually, you didn’t need to say these things today. No matter what you were like before, I don’t recognize you now. I won’t naively believe everything you say anymore. Prove your words with action, because everything you’ve done makes it impossible for me to believe this is something my beloved woman could do. I’ll never understand what you were thinking that night when you secretly met him. Nor will I understand your thoughts after it happened.”

Ran Zhihan knew in her heart that trust was irreparably damaged. Her husband no longer trusted her like before, nor would he be so devoted. He hadn’t filed for divorce yet only because of their son; he didn’t want to hurt their son and grandfather, not realizing that she had no choice in all this.

Chen Gang, in the warehouse, recalled every expression of the woman he loved. He didn’t expect that in the end, she would choose not to believe him. He wasn’t afraid of anything, not even losing his life; all he wanted was for the woman he loved to believe in him a little. But the reality was a harsh slap.

No matter how much he sacrificed for the woman he loved, she never trusted him. That look of doubt haunted him, causing endless pain. Yet, he couldn’t make it as though it never happened.

He made a decision: if he couldn’t have her, no one else would.

Why did he have to endure so many years abroad, only to return and face the ultimate betrayal from the woman he loved...

Even though this love left us both scarred, we still cannot bear to forget it.
