My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1704: Chapter 1498: Deadline

Early the next morning, Zhang Yichen ran into his son’s bedroom to find his wife. He felt that this matter needed to be cleared up with his wife, otherwise it wouldn’t be worthwhile for anyone. Clearly, many things can be less troublesome if explained clearly, yet why was he so stubborn, unwilling to apologize even once? This time, he must apologize to his wife. Surely, she would be very moved, as he had never apologized to anyone before; this was the first exception.

But he didn’t know that this time his wife wouldn’t take his money. The mistake clearly wasn’t his, yet as her husband, he pushed all the blame onto his wife. How could she so easily forgive her husband?

Zhang Yichen knocked on his son’s room door.

Zhang Ni opened his sleepy eyes and saw his father standing at the door with a fierce look that made him a bit scared.

When did his father become so fierce with him? Why had he never seen him this angry before?

”Dad, it’s just after five. Why are you so anxious? Knocking on doors this early — I still need to sleep!”

”Okay, stop pretending. Let me ask you, is your mom in this room? She didn’t come back to sleep all night. She must be here with you. Move aside, I need to go in and talk to her. Don’t block my way. Get up. It’s not early anymore. After I talk to your mom, you can sleep more if you want; no training for you today, alright?”

Upon hearing that he didn’t have to go to training today, Zhang Ni was overjoyed and quickly moved aside, letting his father in. He thought his mother wasn’t inside, but when he followed his dad into the room, he found out she really was. When did this happen? When did his mom come here last night? Why did he know nothing about it?

”It’s not early, wake up, I need to talk to you!”

Ran Zhihan opened her eyes, rubbed them, and saw her husband standing right in front of her. Her heart nearly stopped. When did her husband come here? He used to never come looking for her; what was going on today? Did the sun rise from the west, or was something big about to happen?

”Why are you here? I remember you never looked for me before. Didn’t expect you’d make an exception today. Tell me, what do you want to say?”

”Do you think this is a good place to talk? Shouldn’t we go out and make things clear? Our child is still here; some things shouldn’t be said in front of him. It won’t lead to a good outcome for anyone, so why make it ugly? Just come out and talk; it’s not going to kill you. I’ve already come down here so often. There’s no going back now, so just come out with me!”

Ran Zhihan couldn’t help but worry that her husband would speak unpleasant truths in front of their child. She feared he’d disregard their image and spill everything in front of their son, so she followed her husband out to clarify things — to avoid being blackmailed in the future. She couldn’t bear repeated coercions and utilizations.

”Alright, let’s go. Let’s sort out this matter thoroughly today so it won’t be used against me again and again. It’s unnecessary!”

Zhang Yichen found it hard to accept his wife’s attitude, but he still followed her out. He knew some things shouldn’t be said in front of their child, as it wouldn’t lead to a good outcome for anyone and would only make the child feel upset. Some sacrifice should be made for their child. This matter wasn’t that serious; why bring it up in front of their child? Wouldn’t it be better to discuss it clearly outside?

”Alright, we’re outside now, say whatever you need to.”

”I came to you today to say I’m sorry. It was my fault. I was too self-absorbed and didn’t consider your feelings. I hope you can forgive me and not be angry because it’s unnecessary for us to sleep in separate beds. It’s not a good image for the household. I hope you seriously consider this.”

”Do you still think this whole thing is my fault? Why do I always have to take the blame when you make mistakes? Why should I keep putting up with you when you keep acting so despicably? In your eyes, do I mean so little to you despite being the first to let things slide for you this time? When you came to find me, I had hopes you’d change from before. But after a whole night of thought, you are still the same, never considering what I truly want. You think what you give is what I want. But I don’t want your money, status, or reputation. What I want is a stable life...”

”Enough with pretending to be high and mighty. Do you really think you can live without me? Everything you use comes from me — branded bags, clothes, shoes — all bought with my money. Can you honestly say you have no selfish motives? Haven’t you ever considered staying with me for the luxury? Don’t constantly act like everyone believes in your nobility. People who do are just blind.”

I once believed in you, but now I won’t be foolishly trusting like before. It’s exhausting!”

I gave up everything for you, hoping you’d turn back, but you’re still moving forward alone!
