My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1156 - 1016: Recalling the Past

Once, I saw my own wife wanting to leave my side with my own eyes. At that moment, I was scared, I panicked. I didn’t know why she wanted to leave me. I couldn’t accept such an outcome. The life I wanted was with her by my side.

I saw my wife turn to leave, and I reached out to hold her hand. I couldn’t just let my wife leave for no reason. There were some things that had to be made clear to her, to avoid unnecessary trouble for both of us in the future. But I didn’t expect that because of my ruthlessness, my wife couldn’t get over it for the rest of her life. In the end, although we lived together, we treated each other with respect and never regained that initial feeling. Our relationship was completely destroyed by this impulsive moment of mine.

"Is it because I was right? So you feel embarrassed and want to escape. Don’t you have anything to explain to me? Have you really never thought about being with me for money, to live a life of luxury? As long as you tell me the truth, that you are with me for money, I can overlook everything and let you stay by my side."

"Heh, you are too arrogant. You always think that having money means you can have everything. You think I can love you unconditionally just because you have money? I don’t love you for your money, your name, or your power. I love you as a person. Back then, you seemed like a bright and sunny boy to me, someone worthy of entrusting my life to. But now I see that you don’t deserve my love. Why should I force myself to stay by your side, causing you pain and making myself miserable? I don’t want to live like this anymore. Let’s each take some time to calm down and see what would be the best outcome for both of us. Don’t make any impulsive decisions that we’ll regret later."

Don’t worry, I won’t tell Grandpa about today’s events, nor will I tell our son. I want both of them to live happily without our conflicts affecting them. Grandpa is already old; remember to spend more time with him when you have the chance. I won’t be accompanying him for a while because I don’t even know what identity I should face him with. You’ve made your intentions clear, so I understand what you mean. Rest assured, once you’re clear-headed, I’ll give you a satisfactory answer!"

Zhang Yichen suddenly felt at a loss for words at this moment. Was his wife really going to leave him just because of what he said? What was all those years of waiting for? Was it really just for today’s parting? After waiting for her so bitterly for over ten years, it ultimately led to today’s painful separation. What was I waiting for, while waiting foolishly for her without expecting anything in return?

"Have you thought it through? If you walk out of this house today, you might never have another chance to come back for the rest of your life. Are you really willing to give up all this wealth, all this luxury? Do you really not care about any of it at all? Don’t you care about our family, about Grandpa, about our son, or about me?"

Ran Zhihan paused and said, "Perhaps in the past, I really cared about each of you, genuinely treated you as my family. I could give up everything I cared about for you, even my own freedom, my dignity, my principles as a person."

But today, I can’t do it like before because you’ve started to doubt me. You don’t even know why I chose to be with you. In your eyes, I’m just a mercenary woman who married a man for money. You think I don’t love you. If that’s the case, why waste my life, why not let me happily live the life I want?

Maybe I really cared about you in the past, but I don’t care anymore. From the beginning, I never cared about your money, so how could I possibly care about it now? The person I cared about the most at first was you. But today, you said these things that embarrass and hurt me, leaving me unable to respond. I’ve chosen not to care about you. Since I’ve chosen not to care about you, I’ll do my utmost to forget you, forget all the pain you’ve brought me, leaving only the most beautiful memories between us. Those memories will accompany me for a lifetime, never disappearing. But perhaps our fate has truly come to an end because of this matter. Although internally I won’t feel pain, whose heart wouldn’t feel any unhappiness?

If you don’t believe me, then don’t try to hold on to me, because that will only make me think you’re a hypocrite. The things I cared about have already become insignificant today because I no longer care about what used to be. Now, nothing is worth my desperate concern or protection. Why should I foolishly live in such agony for this matter like I used to?"

Zhang Yichen now finally understood that his wife wasn’t with him for money. It was because he saw his wife having interactions with Chen Gang that his jealousy got the better of him, and he said those things without thinking. Now, it had become like this.

But when he regretted it, it was too late. His wife had already turned and left the house, never to return again. Perhaps they really would miss each other like this.

Seeing his wife’s departing figure, he realized that deep down, he really couldn’t let go of her. A single action of hers could make him heartbroken for a lifetime. But the situation had already happened. These words were spoken by him, so how could he find a way out? Why degrade and humble himself so?

When Ran Zhihan turned around, she was already in tears, unable to bear her husband’s doubts. Which wife doesn’t want her husband’s complete trust, but some people always doubt their other half, ultimately leading to disharmony in the marriage.

Clearly, I cared about him so much and was willing to give up everything for him, yet in his eyes, I meant nothing.

"During that time, our arguments were so intense. I never thought we would have such a day of fighting. He always tolerated me, but I forgot that he is also a woman, also needed love and care from someone in her family. I took everything for granted, which eventually led to this outcome..."
