My Alleged Husband

I really want to love him, but reason is arguing. Could walking away be a solution? Who can give me a good answer?

Zhang Yichen saw his wife turn around to leave. He reached out and grabbed her; he couldn’t let his wife leave just like that, without any reason. Some things must be made clear to avoid unnecessary trouble later, but he didn’t expect that his harshness this time would create a hurdle in his wife’s heart that she couldn’t overcome for a lifetime. Ultimately, they lived together begrudgingly, never returning to the initial feelings they once had. Their relationship was completely destroyed by his impulsive actions.

"Why did I hit the mark? So now you feel embarrassed and want to escape? Do you really have nothing you want to explain to me? Haven’t you ever considered being with me for money, living a life of comfort and wealth? Just say honestly, if you’re with me because of money, I won’t hold it against you. I’ll let you stay by my side."

"Heh, you’re too arrogant. You always think money can excuse anything; you always think that because you have money, I’ll love you without limits forever? I don’t love your money, or your name, or your status. I love you the person. Back then, you made me feel you were a bright, sunny boy. I thought at that time you were truly worth entrusting my life to. But now I realize you’re not worthy of my love. So why should I force myself to stay by your side, causing you pain and myself distress? I don’t want to live this way any longer. We should both calm down for a while and see what’s truly the best outcome for each other. No more impulsive decisions that cause regret later!

Don’t worry, I definitely won’t tell Grandpa about today, nor will I tell our son. I want them both to live happily, without our conflicts affecting their joy. Grandpa is getting old; remember to spend more time with him. I won’t accompany him for now because I don’t even know in what capacity I should face him. You’ve made your intentions clear to me, so don’t worry. When things are clearer, I’ll give you a satisfactory answer!"

Zhang Yichen suddenly felt at this moment that he didn’t know what to say. His wife would really leave him because of these words of his? So what was all his years of waiting for, if it would lead to this farewell today? He had waited for her for over ten years, and it has resulted in a painful farewell today, leaving him to question what it was all for, waiting foolishly all these years without expecting any return.

"Have you really thought it over? If you step out of this house today, then you may never have the chance to come back again. Are you really willing to give up all this wealth, all this luxury? In your eyes, does none of it matter? Do you really not care about our family, care about Grandpa, care about our son, or care about me?"

Ran Zhihan paused and said, "Perhaps I used to truly care about every one of you, truly treated you all as my family. I could abandon everything I cared about for you, even my own freedom, give up principles of being human, my own dignity I didn’t need.

But today, I can’t do that anymore because you have started to doubt me. You don’t even know why I chose to be with you, in your eyes, I’m just a profit-driven woman who married a man for money. You think I don’t love you; if that’s the case, why hinder my life, why not let me happily live the life I want?

Maybe I really cared about you all before, but now I don’t care anymore. I never cared about your money, so why would I care about money now? You were the person I cared about most from the start, but today you’ve said things that hurt me, make me suffer, and leave me not knowing how to respond. I’ve chosen not to care about you anymore, and since I’ve made that choice, I will do my best to forget you, forget all the pain you brought me, leaving only the most beautiful memories between us. Those memories will stay with me forever, never disappearing, though perhaps our fate really ends because of this incident. Though my heart won’t suffer, whose heart won’t have any unhappiness?

Since you don’t trust me, don’t try to hold me back because that will only make me think you’re hypocritical. The things I cared about, today I don’t care about any of them anymore because what I care about isn’t the way it used to be. Now none of this is worth me desperately caring, desperately guarding. So why should I live as painfully as I did before, foolishly for these things?"

Zhang Yichen finally understood; his wife really wasn’t with him for money. It’s just that when he saw his wife interacting with Chen Gang, jealousy surged in his heart and, without thinking, he blurted out those accusations, which have now led to this outcome.

But when he realized his mistake, it was too late. His wife had already turned away from home and wouldn’t be coming back. Maybe they really would miss each other just like this.

Watching his wife leave home, he realized that deep down, he truly couldn’t live without her, truly would be heartbroken for a lifetime because of his actions. But the damage was done, and the words came from his own mouth, giving him no way out. Otherwise, why would he let himself fall so low, into such a humble state?

Ran Zhihan was tearful as she turned away, unable to bear her husband’s suspicion. What wife doesn’t want their husband’s wholehearted trust, yet some people always doubt their partners, eventually leading to an unhappy marriage.

Knowing she cared so much, knowing she sacrificed everything for him, yet in his eyes, she ultimately meant nothing.

If we continue to be unwilling to let go, we will all become victims in the end.
