My Alleged Husband

Chapter 2028: Chapter 1821: Endure

”Grandpa, tell me, how long has it been since we had a proper meal together? It’s been ages since we’ve had a reunion dinner!”

Ran Zhihan didn’t want to say anything to Chen Gang now. He knew sometimes Chen Gang used reverse psychology to manipulate him for his own purposes. Yet, even though he knew it was a trap, he still dove in headfirst, which only showed how foolish and overly trusting he was.

”I don’t want to say anything to you now, just reflect on it yourself. I’m leaving, and don’t mention our relationship in front of my husband anymore. No matter what you say, it will only make me look worse. You’re not helping me; you’re hurting me. Do you really want to destroy my marriage? Do you really want me to cry without tears? Do you really want my husband to heartlessly abandon me?

You’re not such a heartless person. Everything you do has a purpose, and you’re willing to pay any price for what you want. You can disregard things that don’t matter to you, but I can’t. I have consequences to consider because I have a child. I must prioritize my family and my child in everything I do!

I can’t just leave like you can. You can set off on a whim, but me? Once you reveal this matter, everyone here will gossip about me, and many will look down on me. At that point, you can easily book a flight and leave, but I have to stay here and endure the pressure of the rumors you’ve caused. Can’t I at least hate you for this?

Chen Gang, everyone has their own mission, their own responsibilities to fulfill.

Don’t always think I should revolve around you, following your steps. I’m not a saint; I really can’t do that. I can’t prioritize everything for an unrelated man...”

”Enough, you don’t need to say anything more. When you leave, tell your husband I want to see him. I’ve nothing to fear now, and he’s already tortured me to the point where I’m neither human nor ghost.”

After Ran Zhihan left, she didn’t plan to tell her husband about this. Wouldn’t it be better for these matters to disappear forever? Why let them meet again?

But she didn’t know that when she went to see Chen Gang, her husband was already following behind her without appearing. It was only when Chen Gang mentioned seeing him that he quietly revealed himself, but Ran Zhihan didn’t notice.

After watching his wife leave, he slowly entered the warehouse. Facing Chen Gang, who looked neither human nor ghost, almost at a breaking point, he stood silently watching him.

”You’ve come?

Actually, you were outside the door the entire time, weren’t you? You watched your wife come in and talk to me while you listened silently outside, didn’t you? Are you satisfied now, having heard your wife reject all my requests, seeing how she treated me, and hearing the cold words she spoke to me? Do you think my heart isn’t aching?

I asked you here not with other intentions, but just to say a few words and ask you how you managed to captivate her to the point where the woman I once loved most would forsake me, disregard my life completely for you?

To be honest, I’m jealous of you. I never received her most sincere feelings, but you easily gained her love to the depths of her being. For you, she’d even abandon me, a man who loved her for so many years. Do you understand the pain in my heart as I waited abroad for so many years for her?”

Zhang Yichen nodded.

”Chen Gang, actually you were a decent person, but your crucial mistake was targeting those around me. If you hadn’t attempted to harm those near me, how would I have tortured you this way?

Your actions provoked every basic reaction I should have as a man. I was doubting her already, yet you insisted on embellishing your story to me. You brought this humiliation upon yourself, all in a bid to test whether my wife would grieve for you. You got your proof: she does have feelings for you, but they’re not deep!

If it weren’t for the issue with my wife, we could have been friends. You always believed I deprived you of the woman you loved most, but do you understand?

You claim you’ve suffered abroad for years waiting for her return, longing to see her. But when you finally come back, she’s already married with a child. Yes, you’re disappointed, but did you know that since I was young, I underwent grueling training for her?

At that time, all I wanted was to strengthen myself, to prove to my parents I was worthy. Once I had power, I planned to find her, keep her by my side, ensuring she’d never grieve again for any reason.

Only after some years did I realize it was impossible because how could I accept my wife betraying me? Isn’t this a huge disgrace? And yet you deliberately acted against my woman, even flaunted it in front of me. Were you not intentionally humiliating me? If you can’t respect me, why should I consider my own feelings? Rather than being disdained by you, I should think carefully about my next steps, how to ensure you two never meet again, disengage completely, and understand what should and shouldn’t be done...”

As Zhang Yichen spoke, he grew increasingly angry, veins popping out on his face.

”During that time, having a reunion dinner was such a happiness, each person having memories they’ll never forget!”
