My Alleged Husband

Chapter 589 - 568 So That’s How It Is_1

Ran Zhihan had initially wanted to go back to sleep, but when he returned and found the bedroom empty, he knew his husband must have come here again. They just hadn’t expected him to return and actually receive such explosive news. The man who had always professed to love him the most turned out to be using him all along. Everything he did was just to destroy everything he couldn’t have himself. He never once considered Zhihan’s feelings. Why did he deserve to have his feelings taken care of by such a man?

Outside the door, Ran Zhihan forcefully suppressed the raging anger in his heart. He listened to his husband talking with Chen Gang, wanting to understand clearly what was going on. He wanted to shed light on the whole affair, no longer wanting to live in delusion, to ultimately find out who had betrayed him without his knowledge.

"Chen Gang, so this was your goal, wasn’t it? You approached my wife not because you truly loved her, but just to use her. You just couldn’t stand to see me and her being close. When you saw us being affectionate, your heart roiled with fury, because she was the woman you once loved the most. And now, the woman you love most is lying in another man’s arms, both of them living their happy lives, while you, you’re left to suffer the pain and torture alone. So your heart is unbalanced, and you want to spread this pain to everyone. You want everyone to feel the pain you suffered, how excruciating it was, making them pay the price, satisfying yourself, right?"

"That’s right, exactly, it seems the old saying is true, the person who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy. We’ve become enemies now, and we can never be friends in this lifetime, unless one day you completely disappear from this world, and my most beloved woman willingly devotes herself to me, no longer having to be nostalgic with a man like you!

If that day really comes, I would forgive past grievances and be with the woman I love, no matter what she did for this man, or what she sacrificed. No matter how my family objects, I will steadfastly take her with me. If my family opposes, I will take her far away, never to return."

Zhang Yichen laughed, "In fact, you clearly know it’s impossible, but why do you still harbor such hopes? Your heart doesn’t believe a single word you say, so why bother spouting fabrications that confuse others? You’re just trying to manipulate others’ feelings to deceive them again. You have never cared about her, about what she wants – a peaceful life. Can you give it to her? If your parents oppose you being with her, what end will you face? You’ll drag her around without a stable life, preventing her from living the peaceful days she desires. You’re just harming her, using your possessiveness to hurt her, using your so-called love to do so."

"If you don’t kill me today, wait till the day I get out, I will make your life worse than death. I will make you watch as your wife is taken by me over and over again... Only then will you truly understand pain, and yet you will be powerless to do anything!"

"Enough!"

Suddenly, Ran Zhihan stepped out from outside the door. He couldn’t bear to hear Chen Gang say any more; he felt disgusted with himself. How could he have become like this? The sunny and cheerful classmate from before, how did he become so dark?

Zhang Yichen and Chen Gang were both stunned. They hadn’t expected Ran Zhihan to suddenly walk in at this moment.

"Zhihan!"

"Zhihan!"

"Chen Gang, have you said enough? I really didn’t expect you to be such a filthy person. Where did the sunny and cheerful you go? Tell me, what kind of torment did you go through abroad all these years to end up like this today? Do you know how scared I am of the way you are today? I never thought we would get to this point one day. I never thought you would hurt me to achieve your goals. I admit that I was once moved by you; my heart beat fast for you!

Maybe you think that I really loved you back then and that I left you only because of my husband. But do you know? It wasn’t because you weren’t good enough for me; it was because I wasn’t good enough for you. Back then, your parents had already sought me out, asking me to leave you early because we were from different social classes. You were a rich man’s son, while I was nothing, only able to rely on the hard-earned money of my parents to maintain my life.

The gap between us was just too great, not something that can be summed up in a few words. And today, hearing the words you said, it really hurts me. I’ve already made it very clear to you, there will be no outcome for us. So why do you repeatedly tarnish my innocence, ruin my reputation?

In your heart, do you really not wish for me to have a happy and peaceful life? If you really love me, then please prove your love with your actions. Sometimes letting go is also a form of love, isn’t it?

You know that persisting will only make both of us very miserable, so why hurt everyone’s sincerity for your own obsession? What you’re doing is just causing more pain for yourself, making your parents suffer because of your pain, and making me feel like dying because of your actions. What you want is not to hurt others, but you’re hurting the people closest to you!"

"You speak so lightly, but do you know what kind of torment I’ve been through? You will never understand the pain of living in a dark and damp place. Even though I’m a rich man’s son, my life is no happier than that of a poor person. Do you know? All I want is my own love. Over the years, my parents haven’t stopped arranging blind dates for me, and I’ve always refused them time and time again, leading my parents to be utterly disappointed in me. I’ve waited all these years just for you to come back to me, yet you slapped me hard in the face!"
