My Alleged Husband

Chapter 621 - 600 Sounds Good_1

"Talking about fair treatment now, don’t you think it’s a bit late? Do the things you’ve done yourself deserve fair treatment from me? Have you never thought about how expensive the necessities of life can be, how many people in this world struggle to eat, how cruel the world is? Many people toil everywhere for money and ultimately choose to leave this world because they can’t earn enough. You’ve never experienced that kind of painful life, so what gives you the right to say such things?"

"I was sincere with you, Yichen. Because of me, your parents could go abroad, live a life they’ve never had before... and yet, you’re still not satisfied? All their expenses overseas were covered by me alone. When have you ever helped to share the burden? Every penny spent on every single thing done in this house, when has it not been my money? Have you ever gone out to earn any money? You were just comfortably raising our son at home, but in the end, you still betrayed me. How could you bear to do that?"

"The world really is fair. Having been given such a good husband’s family, there should be some balance in your family. But I’ve never looked down on you for being from a common background. On the contrary, I admired you because of how different you made me feel, not to mention that we’ve known each other since childhood. Do you know how much I yearn to return to those days? Back then, I would have unhesitatingly brought you home with me, and you wouldn’t have suffered so much."

"Perhaps you think I’ve never tried to put myself in your shoes, but do you know that ever since we parted ways as children, I’ve often woken up from dreams in which I was having a nightmare. Every time it would be you reaching out to me, leading me to a haven of happiness. Do you know how much I regretted leaving the forest alone, without taking you with me? If I had taken you with me then, maybe your life wouldn’t have been so hard."

"Everything I’ve done, all the reasons behind it, were simply for the happiness of our family. Yet in your eyes, they seem so contemptible. I don’t understand how I’m supposed to act, what proof I need to give you to make it clear that I truly regard you as my wife. I sincerely want to spend the rest of my life with you. I don’t want to go looking for another woman; the woman I respect in my life, it’s you, and that will never change in this lifetime. But your actions have completely chilled my heart. I never thought the woman I cherished would hurt me, making me utterly unable to lift my head."

"Yet, I still need to consider the face of our family and forcibly suppress this matter. Do you know how much it hurts to do this? You are my wife, and you’ve made me wear the cuckold’s horns, yet I have to suffer in silence, swallowing all my tears. Have you ever considered my feelings? For any other woman, I wouldn’t care so much, but you are my wife. How could you bear to do this, to keep secrets from me, to leave me in the dark, while I foolishly smile at you and shower you with love? Do you think I’m stupid? Am I so foolish that you can just play with me however you want?"

With every word he spoke, Zhang Yichen took a step forward, relentlessly closing in, until his wife was cornered against the wall with nowhere to retreat.

"I’ve never thought you were foolish, quite the opposite; I’ve always believed you have a good business sense. That’s why I’ve never dared to play tricks in front of you. Likewise, I wanted to live a simple and pure life before you. Why should I live a complicated life alone when life is already so short, creating days filled with scheming and uneasiness for everyone?"

"I’m just an ordinary woman. I need my husband’s understanding, his trust, and his love. You’ve indeed loved me enough over the years, but do you understand me? Do you trust me? The truth is, you’ve never really trusted or understood me. You have no idea why I do what I do. You just want me to act in ways that will please you, and that’s why you deign to shower me with affection, right?"

"I’ve kept every word you’ve said to me in my heart, believing that one day I would be able to warm yours. Although you truly loved me back then, I later realized it was my actions that hurt you, that made you grow cold toward me. But I believe that sincerity can soften the hardest heart, and that no obstacle in this world can’t be overcome. If I stay by your side with true sincerity, one day you’ll recognize my worth, you’ll be willing to open your heart to me again, and then I will spare no mercy in revealing all the secrets in my heart to you. But in the end, did you ever give me a chance?"

"You make it sound so easy, as if opening one’s heart needs time, perhaps another few years? If you want to open your heart to me, you can do so at any time. It seems you still have many secrets I’m unaware of. How much have you hidden from me? Can’t you just be honest and tell me, rather than treating me like a fool, kept in the dark forever? It would be humiliating for me, making me feel that my wife has always been taking advantage of me. I don’t know what you’re hiding, so stop trying to placate me with sweet talk. Show me through your actions that you truly see me as your husband and not just paying lip service. Is that possible?"

"Anyone can say nice things, but doing something is much more difficult, especially when it comes to proving something to one’s own husband. You claim you’re not at fault; if you want me to trust you, then show me through your actions that you have no connection to all that has happened, that you’re completely unaware of it all. If you can prove that, I swear I’ll ensure you lead a good life and will never doubt you again!"
