My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1870: Chapter 1664: Unable to Speak

It’s not that I like staying up all night until dawn; it’s just that I have a heart full of sorrows but can’t express them!

This is what he needs most in life as an elder; this is the best way to repay an elder. He wants to know what he should do to make this matter extraordinary, to make the memories last forever in the family’s minds.

”Grandpa, it’s rare for the family to be reunited, so let’s not think about unhappy things. Just our family living in harmony is enough. This is the life you want, and it’s the life I most want to protect. I’ve missed out on so much before, and now, I only want to make up for everything I missed in the past; life is truly difficult.

You have sacrificed so much for our family’s happiness, and we have never done anything to repay you. Now we also want to show through our efforts and actions that we are willing to give up our own principles for you because you have given us a different life, a happy life as we have now. Everything we have now is given by you, and we are full of gratitude. So please accept our thanks and let us forever keep today’s warm scene in our minds, making it unforgettable for life!”

Old Master Zhang heard his granddaughter-in-law say these words, and he was truly moved. He never expected that the once naïve girl now knows how to repay her loved ones.

”You’ve truly grown up, child. You didn’t know how to repay others before, but now you’ve matured; every decision you make fills Grandpa’s heart with pride and joy, not for anything else but because you’ve tested my patience and slowly become mature. You also know how difficult maturity is for a person, as it means life will undergo tremendous changes, and you’ve matured, meaning you’ve experienced all that should be experienced. Trust Grandpa; your future will be very beautiful!”

”In that case, thank you, Grandpa, for your blessing. Borrowing your precious words, I believe my future will indeed be different.

The life I have, mostly relies on your teachings. If it weren’t for you, how could I possibly have today’s insights?

Every person’s life grows through constant realization, and my life reached today step by step. I’ve experienced so much, including emotional upheavals, yet I’ve never given up because I understand that as long as I persist in the ideals in my heart, no matter what torment life throws at me, ultimately life will provide a perfect response!”

Ran Zhihan understands such truths because long ago someone told him that time is kind; it will give you answers you can’t imagine or obtain, always considering your life from your perspective. But maybe because time passes so quickly, it torments one, making it impossible to live happily.

Ran Zhihan doesn’t know what attitude to adopt towards such a life, nor what ideology to decide which path to take. He only knows he should give everything for the man he loves in his heart, even at the cost of his life. The world is only so big; if missed, it would be a lifelong miss, regardless of what mistakes he makes in this life, what torment he suffers, what pain he faces. As long as he can be with the person he loves, enduring hardships and challenges will mean little; as long as the light in his heart doesn’t go out, he will ultimately spend his life with his beloved, never separating.

Yet, more than anyone, he understands that fantasies, in the end, are just fantasies and can never become reality.

Having dreams is essential; without them, what’s the point of living? But if one only dreams, even about futile things, life would still lack meaning. The world is fair; you reap what you sow. Life is always ordinary; no one is born with a dazzling life. Only through one’s hard work does it become dignified, beyond the reach of others.

”The achievements you two have today are entirely due to the hardworking efforts you put in. No one will help without reason; when others help, they eventually seek return. So your heart must understand the hardships faced, guiding the life ahead towards fewer tribulations. To anyone, this builds life’s character, right?”

Zhang Ni heard Old Master Zhang’s words and did not understand a single sentence. He sat there, bewildered, listening to his parents and great-grandfather converse. He knew this, as a child, he’d probably never comprehend. He’s not even hoping to understand it all; he only knows that perhaps the greatest comfort in life is having parents like his. His parents, despite any hardships, have never chosen to abandon him, their biological son. To him, this is the greatest love in life, the most selfless, the most touching.

”Dad, Mom, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand a single word? Can’t you say something that I can also understand? You adults are chatting away, leaving me alone; a child would be very bored!”

”If a child doesn’t understand, then they don’t. Perhaps when you grow up, you’ll understand what Mom and Dad were talking about today. One day, you’ll have such gifts; remember, every step you haven’t walked is the most beautiful memory of your life. When you look back at everything you’ve done, you’ll realize it was the most wonderful part of your life!”

I want to cry but can’t. What can I do? The more I want to let go, the harder it is to forget, and the more it remains engraved in my heart.
