My Alleged Husband

Chapter 2270: Chapter 2103: Spring Breeze

I don’t blame the spring breeze of that day for sealing our fate.

Ran Zhihan really doesn’t know how to explain this matter to her husband. She’s made everything so clear, but why is he still unwilling to believe her? Without trust in a marriage, can she really be happy? She constantly reflects on herself, but each time, she’s forced to make a decision, to be with him for a lifetime, yet the ultimate result hurt her. How could his heart be balanced, loving someone so arduously for so many years only to be treated like this in the end?

Ran Zhihan doesn’t want to say anything now and just turns to leave. But when her husband sees his wife turning her back and leaving, he immediately becomes unhappy. Could it be that now she doesn’t even want to explain? Why is it so difficult to give him an explanation? He just wants an explanation that can convince him. Does he not even deserve an explanation in her eyes?

”Where do you think you’re going? Stand right there and don’t move. The matter hasn’t been explained clearly, and do you think you can just leave quietly by yourself? Don’t you feel that what you’re doing is immoral? I’ve sacrificed so much for you, and how have you repaid me? You really think I won’t care in my heart, do you? Do you think you can just walk away, leaving me here alone and not caring about our son? Is this what a mother should do?

No matter what happened, you should at least give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, I’ll just think you’re evading, unwilling to tell me the truth. Do you think we can still live happily together like this? I believe you don’t want to live a life filled with pain. Everyone has their pride, their principles, and I have mine too, especially as a man.

Now imagine, if you were a man, knowing your wife had been with another man, but still had to pretend nothing happened and be affectionate with her, wouldn’t you feel disgusted?

Honestly, every time we’re intimate, I only need to think about your past with another man for my heart to ache unbearably. You never cared about my feelings. You assumed that when I said I didn’t mind, I truly didn’t care. But I’m not a saint. All I want is a complete marriage, yet you’ve completely let me down. I thought that if I just tried hard enough, made sure that you wanted for nothing, you’d never have to lift a finger again. Yet reality fiercely slapped me in the face. My wife spent a day and night with another man, and as a husband, I could only wait at home, waiting for a wife who offers no explanation upon return. How would you feel?

Zhihan, I’m not made of wood. I can’t act oblivious like those men in ordinary families, knowing their wife has cheated but continuing life as usual. They may have ulterior motives, but I’m different. I have everything I want now, all through my own efforts. My conscience is clear; I’ve taken no shortcuts. I’ve simply worked harder than others since I was young, and that’s how I gained everything I have now.

I believe I deserve this. Since I’ve worked so hard, why shouldn’t I have it all? And what did you give? Just a few years of living together, and you got everything. You easily conquered the whole world, whereas I may have only conquered you. But now, I won’t foolishly be at your beck and call like before. I’m not the person I used to be. I know each mistake I made may seem inconsequential to you, but to me, it’s a lifetime of pain, pain that may prevent me from ever holding my head high again. You’re content living your happy days, while I bear the torture and pain. My heart aches, yet you remain indifferent. How can I be at peace with this, and how could I let this matter rest?

”Actually, I’ve never said much else to you from start to finish. What I want isn’t much. You seek a stable marriage, and I’ve always wanted a stable life together. Isn’t this best for us? I admit I did something wrong, but did I do it willingly? I didn’t want this to happen. It was just that I fell into someone else’s plot. Why can’t you understand my perspective?

You think after it happened, I was happy every day? You’re wrong. Each day was extremely painful. I couldn’t even fathom how I was getting through each day. All I knew was that every consequence arose from my own actions. I have no way and no one else to blame.

I didn’t want this to happen, but with everything laid bare, how can I rescue it now? All I want is your genuine forgiveness. Only then can I stay by your side, work tirelessly, and live with you forever. Yet you dwell on this matter, refusing to let go. Where do you leave me? Don’t you know what I truly want?”

Zhang Yichen fell silent. How could he not know what his wife truly wanted? He’s understood her so deeply over the years. It’s not that he doesn’t know, but he refuses to accept it. She doesn’t want to admit she’s clinging to this issue, but indeed, his heart is in agony. Some things aren’t easy to drop for dignity’s sake, affecting both personal dignity and family reputation. He can only suppress everything for the sake of the family. But can the unscrupulous not uncover anything?

Ultimately, he can only choose to protect his dignity, letting this matter end unresolved.

If we meet again, will we blush or will tears well up?
