My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1319 - 1148: Unyielding

The happiest time of my life has already ended here, and maybe only when my wife returns to my side can all this become what I truly desire.

I have defied my parents more than once, and in the end, the results have always left me coldhearted.

"How many times do you need me to say it before you can understand what I’m really thinking? I’ve said it, I want to live with the man I love the most. Isn’t that worth anything in your eyes? I’m your daughter, not a machine, I have my feelings too, and I don’t want my parents to dictate my marriage. All these years, you’ve controlled everything about me and I never said a word because I thought you were my parents, that you had the right to decide everything for me. But today, I realize that even though you’re my parents, I should bravely stand up and fight for my own love. I shouldn’t let the man I love make all the sacrifices without doing anything myself. Dad, didn’t you go through so many challenges to be with Mom? Why can you sacrifice everything for my mom, but I can’t let go for the man I love?"

"So, what you’re saying is you plan to abandon us as your parents? We raised you all these years, and you’re just a thankless wretch? We painstakingly raised you, and this is how you repay us as parents? If you want to be with this man, then you can get out of this house right now, and don’t ever come back. We’ll just act as if we never had a daughter..." Ran Zhihan’s father erupted in anger!

"Dad, I’ve said, I don’t mean it that way. In my heart, you and Mom will always come first, but I’m in my twenties now, I need to live my life too, I need to plan for my future. I hope that in the rest of my life, the man I love will be there to walk with me, not someone I don’t love; that would be truly painful. You and Mom really know that feeling, and since you understand how painful it is, and the harm it brings, don’t hurt me with that pain, okay? Please don’t let your daughter endure that blow again. Do you know how much I’ve hoped that my parents could love me a bit more? I know that over the years, you and Mom have always put me at the most important place in your hearts. You endured hardships so that I could grow up with no worries about food and clothing. With all that you’ve done for me, how can I ever repay you in this lifetime? But that doesn’t mean you can decide my happiness for my entire life!"

"Zhihan, is this how you talk to your father? How did I educate you? Did I teach you to speak to your elders like this? Where is your respect—do you even see your parents in your eyes? You brought this man home without saying a word beforehand. I didn’t say anything, but you can’t do this. He is your father, how can you yell at him like that? Because of a man, have you lost even the basic sense of reason and courtesy? Is this the kind of upbringing all your education has given you? Did we spend so much money sending you to school just so you could talk to your parents like this?"

"Mom, why are you saying this too? I just want your approval so I can marry and have children with the man I love. Is that so incomprehensible? Is it not worth a bit of understanding and respect from you? What do you see me as in your hearts? I’m not some machine to be pampered every time, I am a person, a living person, and I am still your daughter. How can you do something so hurtful to me? Mom, do you know that I always revered you because you gave birth to me and raised me? I can never repay your kindness in this life. Because I know your kindness to me, I’ve always tried to be the good girl at home. No matter what you say or do, I endured it all. But why do you still treat me this way? Do you see me as less of your daughter? Did you go through all the pains to give birth to me just to stop me when I want to marry someday?"

"Alright, don’t say anything more. Pack your things right now and leave with this man. Our home doesn’t have a daughter like you. This home no longer welcomes you back. From today, we are cutting all ties with you. From now on, you do whatever you want. Marry whoever you want, live your life however you want. As your parents, we won’t interfere anymore!"

Ran Zhihan’s father finally uttered the harsh words. He was devastated by his daughter’s actions. He couldn’t believe that his once intelligent and sensible daughter would lose her mind over a man, that she’d scream at her own father for a stranger, treating her father like an enemy. His heart ached deeply; was this how the daughter he painstakingly raised was repaying him? Although he didn’t expect much in return from his daughter, he never thought she would hurt him like this. After all, he was her father.

"Mom, can you please plead with Dad for me? If he throws me out, where will I live?"

"Zhihan, the situation has reached this point. I can’t say anything more. Your father’s attitude is clear. You yourself should know what to do. If you still want us as your parents, if you don’t want to break our hearts, then quickly make this man leave. If he wants to be with you, then let his parents come and apologize to us. But if you want to leave home because of this man, then from today on, you are no longer our daughter, and this family will no longer include you. We will also remove you from the family registry, as you are no longer our daughter. Isn’t your mom saying this enough to make you feel something? Are you really going to abandon all these years of family ties for a man?"

"Dad, Mom, I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I’ve made you upset. But I still say this: I don’t want my relationship to cause trouble between you. On one side is the man I love the most, and on the other, my parents. No matter who I choose, it won’t feel right in my heart. So, I will move out, but I won’t be with him. From today on, I will wander the world alone. Are you pleased now?"

Becoming a wanderer was not my intention, nor was it my goal!
