My Alleged Husband

Chapter 2170: Chapter 2003: Complete

You could clearly find a better confidant, someone you don’t have to be as close to as you are with me. I’m afraid that one day I’ll truly be unable to leave you. The distance makes it hard for us to be close. I know there’s a big gap between us, but love once again leaves me helpless. People who have been hurt always doubt; it’s not easy to come by, but after fighting so hard, it’s still better to give up.

Zhang Yichen saw his wife turn to leave, and he reached out to hold her. He couldn’t let her leave without a reason. Some things needed to be said clearly to avoid unnecessary trouble for them in the future. But he didn’t expect that his coldness this time would leave a lasting scar in his wife’s heart. In the end, living together became no more than treating each other politely, never going back to that original feeling. Their emotions for one another were irreversibly destroyed by his impulsiveness.

”Did I hit the mark, so you feel embarrassed and now want to escape? Do you really not have anything to explain to me? Haven’t you thought about staying together with me for money, living a life of ease and luxury? Just be honest with me; if you’re with me for the money, I won’t mind at all and let you stay by my side.”

”Haha, you’re too arrogant. You think having money means you can say whatever you want. You think I can love you endlessly without any limits because of money? I don’t love your money, your name, or your power. I love you for who you are. Back then, you were a bright and sunny boy, and I thought you were worthy of entrusting my life. But now I find you’re no longer deserving of my love. So why should I force myself to stay by your side, making both of us miserable? I don’t want to live like this anymore. Let’s each take some time to calm down and figure out what would be the best conclusion for both of us, without making any impulsive decisions that cannot be undone.”

”Don’t worry, I won’t tell Grandpa about this today, nor will I tell our son. I want them to live happily without the shadow of our conflicts. Grandpa is old; remember to spend more time with her. I won’t be visiting her for a while because I don’t know how to face her after what you’ve said. I think I understand what you’re implying, but don’t worry, once you have a clear idea, I’ll give you a satisfactory answer!”

Zhang Yichen suddenly found himself at a loss for words. Was his wife really leaving him because of what he said? Was all these years of waiting for today’s farewell? He had waited for her tirelessly for years, only for today’s painful departure, leaving him questioning why he had waited so foolishly all these years without expecting anything in return.

”Have you thought it through? If you really step out today, you might never have the chance to return. Are you really willing to give up all this wealth, this luxury? Do you not care at all? Do you not care about this family, Grandpa, our son, or me?”

Ran Zhihan paused and said, ”Perhaps I truly cared about each of you before, genuinely treated you as my own family, willing to give up everything I cared about, even my own freedom, and I would abandon my principles and dignity for you.

But today, I can’t do that anymore because you’re starting to doubt me. You don’t even know why I chose to be with you. In your eyes, I’m just a money-grubbing woman who married a man for money. You think I don’t love you, so why waste my life with you? Just let me live the life I want joyfully.

Perhaps I really cared about you before, but now I don’t care anymore. I never cared about your money from the beginning, so how could I care about money now? The person I once cared about most was you, but now after hearing all this from you, I feel humiliated and hurt, not knowing how to respond. I’ve chosen not to care about you. Since I’ve made that choice, I will put all my efforts into forgetting you and the pain you’ve caused, leaving only the beautiful memories to accompany me forever. But maybe our fate truly ends because of this incident, though it wouldn’t be painful, whose heart wouldn’t feel unhappy?

If you don’t believe me, don’t try to keep me. It will only make me think you’re fake. What I cared about no longer matters because I no longer care for someone who is not as they were. None of this is worth caring about or protecting with all my might. Why would I continue living painfully like before?”

Zhang Yichen now finally realized that the reason his wife was with him was not because of money. He had only been jealous seeing his wife and Chen Gang interacting and, without thinking, had spoken recklessly, leading to this situation.

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

Watching his wife’s departing figure from home, he finally understood he couldn’t truly let her go, realizing a simple action could leave a lifelong heartache. But what’s done cannot be undone; he had said those words himself. How could he step down without a ladder, why make himself so lowly, so humble?

Ran Zhihan was already in tears as she turned to leave. She couldn’t bear her husband’s distrust. What wife doesn’t yearn for her husband’s wholehearted trust? Yet some people still suspect their spouses, ultimately causing marital discord.

Clearly, she cared so much for him, willing to give up everything for him, yet in his eyes, she amounted to nothing in the end.

While I was still standing there, you had already soared into the sky. I liked imagining us together, always saying goodbye until we meet again, hoping one day we’d be together, just the two of us, you and me.
