My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1942: Chapter 1736: Hiding

I always wonder if I can forgive everything from the day you were taken away, and I also hope that one day you can still return.

Ran Zhihan looked at Old Master Zhang, smiling so widely that he couldn’t keep his mouth closed. He knew this was the life he truly wanted, this was the life an old man longed for, and the best way to repay an elder. He wanted to know how he should act to make all of this extraordinary, a permanent memory in the minds of this family.

”Grandpa, since our family has finally come together for a reunion, let’s not dwell on unhappy things. Our harmonious life as a family is enough. This is the life you desire, and it’s precisely the life I most want to protect. I’ve missed so much in the past, and now I just want to make up for all that I missed before. Life is truly not easy.

You have sacrificed so much for our family’s happiness, yet we have never repaid you in any way. Now we want to show you through our efforts and actions that we are willing to give up our principles for your sake, because you have given us a different life, allowing us to have today’s happiness. Our current state as a family is all thanks to you, and we are filled with gratitude towards you. So please accept our thanks, and let us forever keep today’s warm image in our minds, let it remain unforgettable for life!”

Old Master Zhang was truly moved when he heard such words from his granddaughter-in-law. He had never thought that the once naive girl now knew how to repay her family.

”Child, you’ve truly grown up. You never knew how to repay others before, but now you’ve matured. Every decision you make makes your grandpa proud, not because of anything else, but because you’re maturing slowly under my guidance. You should also know how difficult maturity is for a person. Maturity means a tremendous change in one’s life, and since you’ve matured, it proves you’ve experienced everything you should. Trust grandpa; your life will be very wonderful in the future!”

”Well then, thank you for your kind words, grandpa. I’ll take your golden words, believing my future life will indeed be different.

For me to have such a life, it’s mostly thanks to your guidance. Without you, how could I have today’s insights?

Everyone’s life is a gradual growth through constant realizations. My life has been step by step leading to today. I’ve been through a lot, through emotional upheavals, but I’ve never given up, because I understand that as long as I stick to the ideas in my heart, no matter what torments I suffer in this life, heaven will eventually give you a perfect answer!”

Ran Zhihan knows this truth because someone told him a long time ago that time is kind. Time will give you everything, answers you can’t even imagine or obtain. Time will always consider your life from your perspective, but maybe, precisely because time passes so quickly, it may torture you, leaving no way for a happy life.

Ran Zhihan didn’t know what attitude he should take towards such a life, nor did he know what principles he should use to decide which path to take. He only knew he should give everything for the man he loved, even his life, sparing no sacrifice. The world is only so big. If you miss it, it will be a lifelong miss, no matter what mistakes you’ve made or what torments and pains you’ll suffer in life. As long as he can be with the man he loves, no matter how much grievance he endures, what difficulty he faces, as long as the light in his heart doesn’t extinguish, he will be with the one he loves forever, never parting in life.

But deep down, he understands more than anyone that fantasy is just fantasy, it can never become reality.

Having dreams is essential. If your dreams don’t exist, then what meaning does life in this world hold for you? But if a person spends their whole life dreaming, then their existence still holds no meaning. The world is fair. The price you pay will bring you the corresponding return. Life is ultimately lived in ordinary days. No one is born with a brilliant life. Only through one’s own efforts can one make their dignity untouchable by anyone.

”The achievements you both have today are entirely due to your hard work. No one offers unwarranted help. The help given by others will eventually be reciprocated. You should understand better than anyone else what difficulties you’ve endured, and your future life will indeed be less subject to certain hardships. For everyone, isn’t this an aspect of life’s flavor?”

Zhang Ni listened to the words of Old Master Zhang, not understanding a thing. He stood there bewildered, watching his parents and great-grandfather speak. He knew that as a child, he might never understand it all. He didn’t hope to comprehend everything either. He only needed to understand that perhaps the greatest comfort in life was having parents like his own, because no matter the difficulties his parents faced, they never chose to abandon him, never abandoned their own son. To him, this was the greatest love in life, the most selfless, the most touching love.

”Mom and Dad, what are you talking about? Why don’t I understand a single word? Could you say something I can also understand? You three adults chatting over there, while I, a little kid, am left out, it can be really boring!”

”If kids don’t understand, then they just don’t. Maybe you’ll understand one day when you grow up what Mom and Dad are talking about today. Someday you’ll have such gifts too. Remember every step you haven’t walked yet, they’re the most beautiful memories of your life. When you look back one day, you’ll find that everything was the most wonderful excitement in your life!”

No one else should say anything, let me hide away and escape all the disputes of this mundane world!
