My Alleged Husband

Even though I’m trying hard to forget, why does it feel like I can’t escape the memories no matter where I go?

Even though Zhang Yichen understood deep down that no matter how big a mistake he made, in his grandfather’s heart, his grandfather would never blame him. On the contrary, his grandfather would always see him as his greatest pride. But does this mean he can act recklessly without fear? Can he really hurt his grandfather again and again? No one could understand how difficult it has been, and no one could grasp how hard it was for his grandfather to raise him. On what basis did he have the right to hurt his grandfather repeatedly? Just because she loves him, cherishes him like a treasure, does that mean he should do so many heartless things to her?

When he saw his grandfather happily getting discharged from the hospital, his heart was filled with joy. He knew how uncomfortable his grandfather felt in the hospital, but he always disregarded his grandfather’s feelings, forcing him to stay in the hospital so he could be completely cured.

In reality, she understands better than anyone how painful it is to lose a loved one. She knows that the despair of being unable to bear the pain is unchangeable. Once you lose a loved one, it means your world will change and you will lose one more person who loves you. No one wants such things to happen to themselves. People are selfish and all want to find the person they love most to always be by their side for a lifetime. But will heaven really give you such a chance? Never.

Old Master Zhang saw his grandson frowning before him, and as a grandfather, how could his heart feel at ease? But the reality is perpetually before him. No matter what kind of outcome he faces, he ultimately cannot let his loved ones suffer even a little bit because of him, and his heart is filled with remorse.

He clearly knows how much effort his grandson has put in over the years. But when he saw his grandson smiling forcibly in front of him, she realized that his grandson had ultimately chosen a different path from others. No one is born destined to walk such a path. Sometimes one chooses a path only because of life’s necessity, ultimately left with no other alternative but to walk that road.

"Child, with the achievements you have today, grandpa is truly proud of you. Grandpa never imagined that the child I raised with my own hands could achieve such success. I never thought you could be so much stronger than your father, as your father never changed anything for grandpa, but you are different. You can give up things you don’t want to for the sake of making grandpa happy. You know it’s to make grandpa smile happily, and that’s already comforting enough. You shouldn’t selfishly ask yourself to let go of things you don’t want to give up. Some things aren’t just something you can let go of easily.

Now grandpa understands; as long as you can live happily, even if it means living alone, what does it matter? Nobody can always have someone by their side forever. What we have is just a life different from others. Everyone’s life is taken step by step by themselves. I believe that one day we will have a life distinct from others, and these lives are created by us, not bestowed by others!"

"Grandpa, I have to admit, having you in this life makes me really happy. You gave me a life different from others, gave me the power to choose, allowed me to achieve the success I have today. Every result I gained through hardship was given to me by grandpa, and I have no regrets. No matter how much effort or sweat I put in, I will always face you with a happy smile, not a forced one, but a genuine smile. Because with you, I feel completely secure.

You probably also know, that I’ve been a child who lacked a sense of security ever since I was young because my parents left me, and my heart has always been unbalanced. But why do I grow up faster than other children? Because I clearly know that if I don’t rely on my own efforts to stand at the pinnacle of life, one day I will be trampled and taught by others. I can’t let my dignity be disrespected casually by anyone, and I can’t let the Zhang Family’s reputation be ruined overnight.

Every decision I make is based on the family’s interests and taken into account for the family’s reputation. I believe that such a life is an extraordinary life. I may have given up many personal viewpoints for the family, but I believe that’s not the initial decision. One day I’ll make the family prosper because of me, and make the family’s century-old reputation flourish. I’ll let everyone know I have a great grandfather, and my whole life is because of my grandfather, who brought me success, step by step, to the pinnacle of life!"

Old Master Zhang smiled, believing he hadn’t misjudged people in this life. Having such a grandson by his side is his greatest comfort. No matter what his son did to him, the child he raised still stands by his side and puts forth all his efforts for him forever. Perhaps this is the most important thing that should exist in a family. Nothing can disturb our family’s happiness and peace, and this is the greatest happiness and consolation for him.

"Grandpa, let’s not say anything else, let’s go home quickly. My wife and my son are still waiting at home. Let’s hurry back. Today I didn’t let them pick you up because they have prepared a lot of delicious food for you at home. When you come home, you’ll be able to enjoy a hot, fragrant meal immediately. For anyone, this is the greatest happiness. I know you have been uncomfortable staying in the hospital, and today you can finally go home. Our family eagerly welcomes your return. Your homecoming is the greatest joy for us!"

Old Master Zhang smiled, regardless of whether these words were true, but in the heart of the person hearing them, they were the happiest.

Everyone hopes to find someone they love and who loves them, even if it’s difficult, they never give up.
