My Alleged Husband-Chapter 1700 - 1494: A Joke

Ran Zhihan watched Old Master Zhang smiling so broadly that his mouth couldn’t close. He understood that this was the kind of life he wanted, the life that was most needed as an elder, the best way to repay an elder. He thought about how he should act to make all of this extraordinary, and ensure it remains a permanent memory in the minds of this family. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Grandpa, it’s so rare for the whole family to be able to reunite; let’s not dwell on unhappy things. Living a peaceful and joyful life as a family is enough. This is the life you want, and also the life I most want to protect. I’ve missed too much in the past, and now I only want to make up for everything I missed. It really is not easy in one’s lifetime.

You have sacrificed so much for the happiness of our family, yet we have never repaid you in any way. Now, we also want to use our efforts and actions to show you that we are willing to give up our original principles for you. You gave us a different life, leading to the happiness we have today. The state of our family now is all because of you, and we are full of gratitude towards you. So please accept our thanks, and let us always keep this warm scene in our minds, unforgettable for a lifetime!"

Listening to his granddaughter-in-law, Old Master Zhang felt truly touched. He never expected the once naive girl to now understand how to repay her relatives.

"Child, you have really grown up. In the past, you never knew how to express gratitude to others, but now you’ve matured. Every decision you make fills my heart with pride, not for anything else, but because you tested what was in my hand and matured slowly. You should also know how difficult maturity is for a person. A person’s maturity means monumental changes in their life. Since you have matured, it proves you have experienced all you should. Believe in Grandpa, your future life will be wonderful!"

"In that case, thank you, Grandpa, for your good words. Borrowing your golden words, I believe that my future life will indeed be different.

Most of the reason I can have this life is due to your guidance. Without you, how could I have such insights today?

Everyone’s life is about continuously gaining insights and growing slowly. My life has progressed step by step to this point. I have experienced too much, gone through emotional changes, but I have never given up. Because I know that as long as I persist in my beliefs, no matter what torment I face in this life, eventually heaven will give you a perfect answer!"

Ran Zhihan understands such reasoning because someone told him a long time ago that time is kind. Time will give you all the answers that you cannot imagine or obtain. Time will always consider your life from your perspective. But perhaps because of the passage of time, you will be tormented and lose the ability to live happily.

Ran Zhihan didn’t know what kind of attitude to take towards such a life, nor did he know what principles to use to decide which path to take. He only knew that he should give everything for the man he loved in his heart, even at the cost of his own life. The world is only so big; if you miss it, it will be a lifetime regret. No matter how big a mistake you make in this life, no matter what kind of torment and pain you endure, as long as you can be with the one you love, even if you face endless grievances, what harm is there in enduring numerous hardships? As long as the lamp in your heart remains unextinguished, you will ultimately share life with your beloved, never separated for a lifetime.

But his heart also understood better than anyone else that fantasies are, after all, just fantasies and can never become reality.

It’s very important for a person to have fantasies. Without dreams, what meaning would life in this world hold? However, if someone spends their whole life merely daydreaming, their existence remains meaningless. The world is fair; what you pay as a price will determine the reward you receive. A person’s life will eventually be ordinary. No one is born with a magnificent life; it is only through one’s efforts that they become untouchable.

"The achievements you both have today are entirely due to your hard work. No one will help you for nothing. If someone helps you, they will eventually retrieve what they deserve. Your heart should understand more than anyone what difficulties you’ve faced, so you will endure fewer such hardships in the future. For anyone, this is a life’s taste, isn’t it?"

Zhang Ni listened to Old Master Zhang but did not understand a word. He just looked puzzled at the conversation between his parents and his great-grandfather. He knew as a child, he might never understand; he did not expect to understand it all. He just needed to know that maybe the greatest comfort in his life was having parents like his, who never abandoned him despite any difficulties. To him, this was the greatest love in life, the most selfless and touching love.

"Mom and Dad, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand a word? Can you say something I can understand? The three of you adults are chatting there, leaving a child like me alone. A child will feel very bored!"

"If a child can’t understand, then just don’t understand. Maybe when you grow up, you will understand what your mom and dad were talking about today. One day, you will also have such a gift. Remember that every step you haven’t taken was your life’s most beautiful memory. When you look back on everything you have done, you will find that all of this was the most wonderful part of your life!"

Love is not a game, nor a joke!
