My Alleged Husband

Chapter 346 - 326 Testing Ends_1

"Wife, when that boy comes to our house again, I want to probe him a bit more. I want to see how deeply he truly loves my daughter. If he would do anything for my daughter for the rest of his life, then I’ll agree to them being together. Perhaps I should believe that the Heavens really want them to be together, which is why they were fated to meet more than a decade ago and have held onto their feelings for so many years. I believe this love hasn’t come easily. Call him over for me, will you?"

"Alright, since you want to test him again, I’ll call him to come over. But let me make it clear beforehand, don’t be too hard on him. After all, it’s not right to trouble someone else’s child too much, even if he is our future son-in-law. We can’t act like that; we can’t make them think less of us common folks. If we deliberately make things difficult because of the previous incident, it would only lead to them bullying our daughter more in the future. We need to pave a perfect path for our daughter’s life..."

"Mm... Ok..."

Zhang Yichen was in a meeting at the company. Once he finished his work there, he was planning to begin his search for the girl he loved across the country. He couldn’t abandon his work because, aside from him, no one else could complete it. If he left his work to his assistant, it would only make Old Master Zhang think he was indispensable. He didn’t want his grandfather to see how clear Yichen didn’t want his grandfather to discover that for the sake of a woman, he would neglect his own future.

"Auntie, hello. May I know why you called me?" Zhang Yichen asked Ran Zhihan’s mother.

"Child, it’s like this; my husband would like for you to come over to our house for a bit. He has some matters to discuss with you. Do you have time now?"

"I have time, auntie. Just give me a moment, and I will be there shortly."

At the Ran family’s home.

"Uncle, auntie, I’m here now. What is it that uncle wanted to talk about with me? May I know now?"

"I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly. Do you think that I called you over because I’ve agreed to you being with my daughter, so you rushed over to our house as if flying?"

"Uncle, I didn’t think that way, I just thought you called me over because you had news of your daughter. I wanted to see where she might be, and I am also very worried!"

"Alright, let’s not talk about other things now. I have some matters to discuss with you. If your answers satisfy me, then I will consider agreeing to you being with my daughter. If your answers do not satisfy me at all, then I hope you will never bother my daughter again. The two of you must break off all contact from now on, do not chat anymore, and you are not allowed to look for my daughter anywhere. Can you promise me that?"

Zhang Yichen hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he agreed because he believed that he certainly had the ability, the confidence, to persuade his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Okay, Uncle, please tell me. If my answers do not satisfy you at all, then I promise, from now on, I will never disturb your daughter’s life, nor will I seek her out or bother her. I will sever all ties with your daughter henceforth. However, if my answers do satisfy you, Uncle, then I also hope you will keep your promise and agree to give your daughter to me in marriage."

"Essentially, I know you are a very nice kid. I know you have thoughts, independent and quite special thoughts, daring to innovate, and to face all difficulties. I truly believe you are a very good child. From another perspective, you indeed are a man worthy for other families’ daughters, a good man to entrust their lives to because every word you say makes it hard for me to believe that someone in their twenties could speak so exceptionally. It really makes me doubt that such a wise child exists in this world. You are indeed much more intelligent than most, and all your deeds have proven your hard work. I also believe that every word you have said to me is sincere, and I know that every word you speak is the truth, for you have never lied to us. You are a child who doesn’t lie, but that alone will not make me hand over my daughter to you, allowing the two of you to be together. That would be too irresponsible of me as a father. All I hope for is that my daughter can live a safe and peaceful life. I don’t harbor any lofty expectations. I don’t wish for a future son-in-law who is very wealthy, nor do I wish for one who is very handsome. All I wish for is that my daughter can be cherished by her husband for her entire life, that when her mother-in-law and father-in-law bully her, her husband will bravely stand up to protect her. That would be enough for us as parents!"

"Uncle, I don’t understand why you are saying all this to me?"

"Child, the reason I’m telling you this is to make you understand my intentions. Now I will ask you a few questions. Can you stand up to your parents for my daughter? When your parents bully my daughter, can you bravely oppose them and protect her? Can you give her a warm embrace when she is sad and crying instead of a cold look? Can you promise that, after my daughter is with you, you will not be with any other person for the rest of your life, not be moved by any other woman, and only have eyes for my daughter?"

"Uncle, regarding the questions you just asked, I can answer you very firmly that I definitely can, because Zhang Family men have always been faithful through the generations. No one can surpass me in devotion. Actually, you should understand that, as a scion of a wealthy family, there are many wealthy ladies who wish to be with us, many of whom are much more attractive than your daughter. But why am I not willing to be with them? Because their faces are covered in makeup, which makes me feel utterly disgusted. But your daughter is truly simple and unadorned; she never touches any of those cosmetics, and that makes her very comforting to look at. I’ve also had feelings for her for over a decade. I believe with this decade of feelings, I will never be moved by another woman in my lifetime because she is the one I most want to marry. I wouldn’t give up the woman I love most for other women who want to be with me or for some benefit. That’s what I hate most, and it’s the thing I detest most in men!"

"If you can do as you’ve said today, then I agree to marry my daughter off to you!"

"Thank you, Uncle. One day, I will prove to you that I can indeed do everything I’ve said today..."
