My Alleged Husband

Chapter 577 - 556: Do Not Leave_1

"You still haven’t answered me," "Have you really never felt anything for me? Have you never thought that maybe one day we could truly be together? All these thoughts, have you really never had them from the beginning till now?"

"I must admit that I did have those thoughts," Chen Gang confessed, "There was a time when I wished I could be with you, but as soon as those thoughts arose, I snuffed them out myself. I knew all too well that a woman as lowly as me could never secure a love that was truly mine. However, what I never anticipated was meeting him. After being apart for so long, I didn’t expect we’d be reunited, and all those years, he had been searching for me. The moment he found me, I knew my spring of love was nearing. My spring of love has nothing to do with you, and I don’t want to ruin my lifetime of happiness because of you."

"Stop struggling in vain and let go. Give me a chance at a happy life. I know the consequences I’m about to face will be difficult, but I have no regrets!"

"So, you’re saying that spending this night with me, you have no regrets? Does that mean deep down you still have feelings for me, and you just don’t know how to express them? You’re just concerned about losing face, right?"

"You are too naive," "Do you really think that I love you? Do you really think we’re so compatible? You’ve never considered what I want. You’re so selfish, I wouldn’t be happy with you. Rather than that, I’d rather take a chance on my own life!"

"Being with you today was the biggest mistake I’ve made. I should never have believed your lies and drunk with you. I shouldn’t have ignored advice and met up with you. If I had just a bit more self-control, none of this would have happened, and I wouldn’t have to worry about the future. Don’t come looking for me ever again. It’s best for both of us to cut off all contact for good..."

"Zhihan, after everything I’ve said, don’t you understand how I feel? I love you so deeply, yet why do you treat me this way? Can’t you give me just one chance? You’ve been divorced for years but still refuse to give me another chance. Do you really find me that repulsant? I want the same things you do, a simple and ordinary life. All I want is to be with you. Is that also a mistake? If it’s a mistake, then I’m willing to accept any punishment. I can go through life without marrying or having children, but I can’t stand losing you!"

"Please," "When I have time, can’t you just come out and meet with me? If you refuse, I’ll never bother you for the rest of my life. Just agree to this small request, and whatever outcome you wish for, I’ll comply!"

Ran Zhihan looked at Chen Gang, pathetic. She was too naive. After deliberating, she ultimately declined, yet she hadn’t foreseen that this refusal, due to a single lapse in judgment, would become her biggest mistake. Once she agreed to Chen Gang, things would spiral out of control.

"I think we really shouldn’t meet again in the future. It’s not good for you, and for me, it will only make my marriage worse. I don’t know what you’re planning, but now that I’ve decided to marry my husband, I won’t do anything to harm him. Let’s pretend this conversation never happened. After I return, I don’t know how I’ll face him or how to explain my overnight absence. Maybe he already knows everything, yet I must hide it from him. Do you know how unsettled I feel every time I lie to the man beside me in bed? I’m afraid of revealing the truth in my sleep, afraid that he’ll easily discard me, lose trust, and doubt me. All I want is his complete trust and to live together wholeheartedly. Perhaps your appearance could drastically alter our peaceful trajectory. Nevertheless, I don’t blame you, as it has nothing to do with me. Stop saying you love me, or looking for me, or else we’ll never meet again in this lifetime!"

Ran Zhihan didn’t wait for Chen Gang to speak. As she was about to turn and leave, Chen Gang suddenly pounced from behind, hugging her tightly, mumbling incessantly.

"Zhihan, please don’t go. Don’t leave me alone," "I just want to hold you, to have you sleep in my arms every night. Is that really too much to ask for?"

With a swift turn, Ran Zhihan slapped Chen Gang across the face. She hadn’t expected the man before her to make such an impotent request. She was a married woman—how could he ask her such unreasonable things? Did he see her as someone so tainted?

"That’s enough; I hope you’ll refrain from speaking such humiliating words. If this continues, I really can’t guarantee that I won’t grow murderous towards you!"

"A person’s patience has limits, and you mustn’t keep pushing mine. All I want is to return to my husband and give him a plausible explanation. If he can forgive me, I will spend my life devoted to him wholeheartedly. But if you dare meddle with my affairs again, do not blame me for erasing you from this world!"

"Whether or not you love me, whatever you intend, we’re just not suitable. Stop struggling in vain and give me a way out. I’m begging you, don’t let the marriage I’ve worked hard for collapse just like that. Please?"

Ran Zhihan realized that no matter what she did was wrong. All she wanted was a peaceful life; why was it so difficult? Why wouldn’t anyone grant her the simple things she desired? Why must she endure all these tribulations?
