My Alleged Husband

Chapter 572: Chapter 551 The Contradiction of Chen Han_1

Everyone thought that this matter would temporarily come to an end due to the decision each had made, believing that the once scattered family could stop worrying like before. But unexpectedly, just as her parents’ conflict had been resolved, her own family faced another crisis!

Ran Zhihan secretly met with her junior high school classmate behind Zhang Yichen’s back. She originally thought it wasn’t that big a deal, but never anticipated that it would become so troublesome.

That night, her husband searched all over the house, but she was nowhere to be found. After a long search, he still hadn’t seen his wife, which worried him deeply. He feared something had happened to her or that she was facing a difficulty and unwilling to tell him.

The relationship between the couple, which had finally stabilized, was now on the brink of falling apart again. All she wanted was a happy life with the woman she loved, but why was it so difficult for them?

In the middle of the night, Ran Zhihan finally returned home slowly. She expected to see no one in the living room, not even the lights on, thinking her husband must still be at the hospital. She reassured herself, thinking he hadn’t returned home and didn’t know that she had been out all day, putting her mind at ease.

However, she hadn’t anticipated that things wouldn’t go as smoothly as she imagined. How could she have guessed her husband had returned home earlier, had been looking for her, but didn’t find her?

She sauntered upstairs, pushed open the bedroom door, and when she turned on the light, she was shocked to find her husband sitting on the bed.

”Ah, when did you come back? Sitting here in the dark, don’t you know that scaring people can scare them to death?”

”What are you talking about, getting so startled by me? Could it be that you’ve done something behind my back to feel guilty about? Don’t you want to know what time I came back, don’t you want to explain where you’ve been, who you met, or what you did behind my back?”

Ran Zhihan became increasingly anxious. She sensed her husband must have discovered something or he wouldn’t have said such things to her.

”Husband, what’s wrong with you? Is Grandpa’s condition changing? Or did work put too much strain on you today? Why do you sound so strange? I haven’t done anything to upset you, so why are you always so sarcastic with me? The hot and cold treatment is making it hard for me to stay calm. I really don’t want much, just to stay by your side and live the life I want. Why are you always so quick to lose your temper with me? What exactly are you suspecting of me?”

”Am I suspecting you of something? I always feel like you don’t think before you act, and even speak carelessly. Do you realize this makes me think you’re acting guilty? Have I accused you of doing anything wrong to me? Why are you overreacting so much?

And about Grandpa’s illness, he’s much better now, stable. Why do you think a change in his condition is causing me to be hot and cold? Why do you think it’s work stress? Have you never looked for reasons within yourself? Haven’t you ever thought about why I, who have always been so good to you, would suddenly change my attitude towards you by a hundred and eighty degrees?

How can you be like this? Whenever there’s a problem, you never first look for reasons within yourself. You always feel like others have wronged you or owe you, but have you really considered it? If it weren’t for something you did, why would I be hot and cold towards you? Dare you say you did nothing tonight? I’ve been home since noon, waiting until now for you to return. What time did you leave, and why have you only come back now? What did you do, and who did you meet? Can you honestly tell me?”

Zhang Yichen stared intently at his wife, not wanting to believe the suspicions in his heart were true. He knew her junior high classmate, who once had a crush on her and pursued her fervently, had come back to find her. She might not have told him, but that did not mean she wasn’t aware. To uncover some truths, all it took was a little effort, yet he had never INVESTIGATED until now his suspicions had driven him to do so.

But he surely hadn’t expected his suspicions to be confirmed as truth. Why did his wife have to secretly meet with her junior high classmate until this late, now in the early hours of the morning?

”I didn’t do anything; I didn’t meet anyone. I just went out for a walk; can’t I do that? I’m not a prisoner; why should I be cooped up at home all the time? I just want the freedom I desire. Is it wrong to go out for a stroll?”

”Did you really just go for a walk? Then can you tell me who you were with? You’ve been out strolling until now, haven’t you looked at the time? It’s already past midnight; you’ve been out since noon. What have you been doing all day? What did you buy, who were you with, and what did you talk about? Can you answer me?”

Ran Zhihan never expected her husband to be so aggressive, demanding a clear explanation. Now she felt even more uneasy. If her husband found out about this, the consequences would be unthinkable, and the fragile relationship that had just been mended would revert to its prior state.

”Yes, you are not a prisoner of our home; you certainly have the right to do what you wish. But I hope you consider my feelings and don’t gamble on chance. If I discover you’ve betrayed me, you should know the consequences you will face. I won’t give you another chance. The thing I detest the most in life is being betrayed by someone. You can stop loving me, use me as a tool, or be with me for money, but I don’t ever want to be betrayed by you. If you want to leave, just say it openly, and I will let you go. Don’t do things behind my back; don’t think I’m unaware...”

Ran Zhihan was terrified by Zhang Yichen’s words!
