My Alleged Husband

Chapter 437 - 416 In a helpless tone_1

Zhang Ni knew he shouldn’t have suddenly made such a request to his parents, but he couldn’t help it, he really wanted to have someone to play with every day. After all, he was still a child, and he also wished to have company, not wanting to always lead a boring life alone!

"Mom, I still hope for a little brother to keep me company, even a sister would do. I don’t want to live alone like this, such a life is so hard and so boring for me. Every night I sleep by myself, I really hope I could have a little brother or sister to sleep with. As an older brother, if I had a younger sibling, I’d definitely take good care of them. But why don’t you want to give me a little brother or sister? Seeing other kids accompanied by their siblings every day, I feel so envious. After having me, you could have had a brother or sister. Mom, Dad, I’ve never been so willful as to demand anything, nor have I dared to ask others for more, because I know that if I want something, I must work hard for it. I have to pay with all my hard work and labor to get those fruitful results. But today, I want to be willful just once. I want to ask my mom and dad, please, can you give me a little brother or sister? I will take good care of them, not let anyone bully them, not let them suffer even a tiny bit of grievance, and I’ll treat them as my precious treasures!"

When Ran Zhihan heard Zhang Ni’s words, her heart ached: "Nai’er, Mom knows how much you wish for a little brother or sister by your side. Mom also hopes to give you a little brother or sister soon, but such things can’t be rushed, and even if we’re anxious, there’s nothing we can do, is there? Do you know how much it hurts Mom to hear you say these things? Mom also hopes that you can have siblings to grow up happily with you, but we really can’t just give you a little brother or sister when you ask for it. These things have to happen when the time is right, and perhaps when everything falls into place, we won’t need to overly demand those things, right? How about we enjoy our happy times together as they are? You are still young, and in a few years, Mom and Dad can give you a little brother or sister, okay? By then, you will have the ability to protect your siblings from harm. How could you, as a child yourself, possibly have the capacity to protect those you care about? If you forcibly try to protect them, you might even end up causing them greater harm, right? I know you’re a good child, and you understand so much at such a young age. It’s unavoidable because you want to prove to your grandparents that you are the best, you don’t want to be abandoned by them for any small reason. Mom knows that your heart is also in pain, so can you understand Mom’s difficulties?"

Zhang Ni listened and said to Ran Zhihan, "Okay, Mom, I’m sorry. This time it was me being willful, and I made things difficult for you. I will never make such an impolite request again. Maybe one day I’ll still have a little brother or sister. It’s just that I have to choose to wait, because although waiting is tough, there will always be fruitful results! I still don’t understand why my grandparents chose to abandon me. Is it because I’m not cute enough? Many times, I’ve asked myself over and over again, why my grandparents don’t want me, why they don’t want my parents or my great-grandfather. What do we, as a family, mean to them? I really want to find out. But I know I can’t ask such impolite questions to my elders because my parents are cultured people, and I can’t be an uncultured child. I must be more cultured than anyone; I want to prove to the world that only I am the strongest, and prove to everyone that abandoning me was their biggest mistake, one they will never be able to make up for in their lifetimes!"

"Child, even if you want to prove it to your tears, you shouldn’t hold any hatred in your heart. Your grandparents love you in their hearts no matter what. They just don’t know how to get back and interact with you. They have been away from home for a good long time. If you keep your grandparents out because of something to do with your parents, do you think your grandparents will be happy inside? They also don’t wish to be shut out by their grandchild, right?"

"But Mom, why have my grandparents not stayed at home for so many years, and why do they choose to come back suddenly? Sometimes I really can’t understand these questions, but one day I will have to figure them out myself. I can’t feel at peace without understanding. I don’t want people to always think I’m a child that even my grandparents don’t want. I also want others to know that I actually have grandparents, it’s just that they have never cared for me. I want them to know that my grandparents really do love me! But I always feel that these are hard to achieve. I so wish that time could stand still, how happy I must have been in my mother’s belly before I was born, but now there’s no going back. One day my grandparents will regret losing me because once a grandchild is lost, there will never be a day to mend that relationship. If it’s truly destroyed, no amount of effort will ever bring it back! If time could reverse, I would rather have never met people like them; their abandonment has deeply wounded me!"

"Child, a pure heart is not tainted by hatred. Mom hopes you will always remain the carefree child, not blinded by other things. Mom wants you to face the world with an objective mindset, understand?"

"Okay, Mom, I understand I was wrong. I shouldn’t have such thoughts. I’m sorry for upsetting you. I won’t think this way again, and please don’t be mad at me. Take good care of yourself, and when I grow up, I will definitely take good care of you both!"
