My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1163 - 1022: I Made Her the Loneliest Person

Zhang Yichen once thought he might be the loneliest person in the world, yet he never considered who made him feel so lonely. He always thought everything he wanted was simple, believing that no one would treat him in such a way. But who would have thought how painful every step he took once was?

"You will never understand how I personally turned my most beloved woman, the woman who loved me the most, into the loneliest person. That period was such an ordeal for her, but I never considered her feelings."

Ran Zhihan walked alone on the street like a walking corpse, feeling nothing. As the heavy rain poured down, she kept silently walking on the road, completely oblivious that it was raining.

She only knew how much pain there was inside her, watching helplessly as her husband spoke such ruthless words to her. She felt powerless. Clearly, she could have dealt with the situation in a better way, yet why did she act so impulsively, letting the matter evolve into this state? Why did everything she did never get good comments from him?

The more she thought, the more heartbroken and sad she became. All her years of hard work had been entirely in vain. Her heart didn’t feel his presence, so why should she force herself to stay by his side? He was unwilling to spend a lifetime with her, so why should she cling to him, making herself so insignificant?

Ran Zhihan didn’t know that while she was heartbroken, her husband was also unbearably heartbroken on the other side. Clearly, he could see the woman he loved right in front of him, yet he couldn’t abandon his supposed dignity and pride to deeply embrace her. He could only watch as the woman he had waited for so many years walked away from him step by step, unable to take that step himself.

Remorse and pain intertwined, making his heart even more miserable. Clearly, what he did and wanted wasn’t like this, but why was everything always beyond his expectations? Was it that what he wanted would never be achieved? Was he destined to live a lonely life throughout his lifetime?

After his wife left, Zhang Yichen released Chen Gang, feeling that it was unnecessary to keep Chen Gang in his warehouse anymore. Continuing this way would only leave him with no avenue of return. Murder is a point of no return, a path on which there might be no way to turn back and be a new person. He couldn’t let his actions bring shame and disgrace to his grandfather or son.

He deeply knew his family was a Wealthy Family, also an intellectual family, so how could it turn into a realm for murderers?

Upon being released, Chen Gang didn’t know how he felt when he learned that the woman he loved had left this man’s side. Perhaps happy or sad—happy for having an opportunity, but sad that he ultimately disrupted a once-happy family. He wandered aimlessly on the streets, searching for her, hoping he could find the love in his heart and comfort her well, not letting such painful matters consume his entire spirit. Otherwise, how could he peacefully spend the rest of his life?

Maybe the heavens favor the persistent. As he walked by the lake, he saw the woman he loved most and her despairing eyes. It’s because she became like this due to him, and ultimately, he was the one who destroyed her happy life.

"Zhihan, are you alright? I understand now. I never expected my appearance to bring such trouble to your life. I never thought he would ultimately say such heartless words to you and that you would choose to leave him and walk away alone. Are you willing to give me a chance? I know it may not be right to say this now, but I hope you can consider it; I truly love you!"

Ran Zhihan looked up at Chen Gang and smiled bitterly, feeling further tormented. Clearly, everything was caused by the man before her, so why did he always pretend to be so pure and innocent? In his eyes, was the one at fault not him, but herself?

Chen Gang reached out to grab Ran Zhihan’s hand, but she pushed his hand away.

"Chen Gang, are you satisfied now? Because of your appearance, I lost everything I once cared about. Because of you, my family has fallen apart, and I can’t return home. Clearly, I have loved ones by my side, yet I can’t even hug them. Are you happy?"

"You don’t need to tell me that you didn’t mean for any of this to happen. I don’t care whether you did or not now; I just want to know what your heart is made of. How could you heartlessly disrupt my family like this? I truly treated you as a good friend. I never imagined spending a lifetime with you. Why do you always act so self-righteously? Don’t you know your actions have ruined me? Now I’ve become the loneliest person in the world. Do you think I’m not already miserable enough? Do you want to continue mocking me and causing me harm?"

"Chen Gang, when I became the loneliest person in the world, I realized that I would never have the chance to live a joyful life again. Whether or not you accompany me later doesn’t matter; you’ve never been the Prince in my heart. No matter how learned or wealthy you are, none of that matters to me. All I care about is living with the man I love. For you all, maybe you don’t understand this feeling, but my heart sincerely longs for a perfect family not to be disrupted by anything!"

"Zhihan, how could you say you’re the loneliest person in the world? Even if everyone abandons you and refuses to treat you as their kin, you still have me! You just need to look back; you’ll see that I’ve always been waiting behind you, waiting for you to look back one day and see me, to awaken and choose to be with me. Do you know? I’ve waited too long for this day. Maybe you don’t understand what this feels like, but don’t say you’re the loneliest person in the world."

"Am I not the loneliest now? My husband abandoned me because of you, and my once-happy family is now like this because of you. How could I not feel hurt or hate?"

"Now that I recall every word he said to me initially, there’s a deep pain within my heart. It’s a woman’s deep aversion and hatred for her husband. Never did I imagine letting my wife become this way, but is this the outcome I wanted? I’m scared now; I never imagined I’ve turned out this way. Never did I imagine being so cruel and heartless to say those words that hurt her, leading her to pain and despair. Where was I when she was alone? I just silently watched, unwilling to apologize, until now when she’s already gone."
