"But have you ever thought about it, if I really choose to be with you, the hardships you’ll face in life won’t be just like now. For , the way we’re living right now, I’m already very satisfied. I’m not a greedy person when it cos to my affairs; I don’t covet others to treat overly well. I simply give my sincerity to the people I care about. I hope my sincerity can be exchanged for their genuine hearts, not to have my sincerity t with ungratefulness. I’ve found in you that no matter how much sincerity I invest in you, you always give your whole heart back to . Because you truly have in your heart, I really do love you. But we are facing a significant problem now. You’re a titan of the world economy, while I have no achievents to my na. In this society, even if you have a lot of money, if you don’t have any achievents, you can only be considered a rich man’s son, not a real CEO. If you truly hope that we can be together, then I need you to give three more years. I want to use these three years to establish my own company, my own path of destiny. When I have made so achievents, that will be the ti I agree to marry you!"
"If after three years you haven’t created your own company, your own path of destiny, will you leave again?" Zhang Yichen wanted to make it clear; she didn’t want to be deceived any longer.
"I can’t tell you the answer so definitively. All I can say is, if after three years, we haven’t built our own brand, haven’t crafted our own paths in life, then I won’t deserve to stand at the pinnacle of life with you. Therefore, I would only be able to separate from you. And I hope that by then, you won’t stop !"
"No, if you commit to now, regardless of whether you have your own company in three years, regardless of whether you have carved out your own path in life, you will continue to live with , stay by my side, and never leave for the rest of our lives, then I’ll agree to give you three years. Otherwise, we have nothing further to discuss!"
"How can you be so overbearing? Can’t I control my own destiny? Do I have to listen to you? Who are you to that you can dictate my everything?"
"Based on what? Simply because you are my wife, and that’s what I have to do. Do you dare to deny it?"
"Who told you I’m your wife? I just don’t acknowledge it. What can you do about it?"
"Do you really not acknowledge it?"
"That’s right, I do not acknowledge it. What are you going to do about it?"
Zhang Yichen didn’t say anything, just took a fruit knife from under his pillow, placed it against his neck, and said to Ran Zhihan, "If you don’t agree with , I’ll die right here for you to see. You should know I’m a man of my word, always keeping my promises. Since I say this, I will do it. Right now, I’m not afraid to die; I’m just afraid of losing you. You decide whether you’ll be with or watch die before you."
Ran Zhihan never expected Zhang Yichen to be so fearless of death for her sake. Her heart was genuinely moved. But what could she say? Could she really agree to Zhang Yichen’s demands?
"Don’t be like this. Three years isn’t too long but also not short. Many things can change in three years. Perhaps after three years, you might not wish to continue living with , but instead seek a woman more suited to you. If I make such a promise to you now, wouldn’t that be irresponsible? If it’s not who lets you down in three years, but you who betray , what should I do? I don’t want to promise you now, making you wait another three years for , only to have to be with you after that. Because so much can really change in three years. Perhaps we should both take that ti apart to cool down. But on the other hand, three years could cent all my feelings for you, and if by then you’re finding joy in another woman’s bed, how should I cope then? Have you really considered my feelings?"
"You’re overthinking it. Do I look like soone who joyrides with other won? I’m not asking for anything else, only that you agree to this. I’ll listen to whatever you say. Not just three years – I can give you ten years! Have you made up your mind yet?"
"I’ll say it again, I can’t give you any promises now, nor dare I promise you anything. Promises can fill a person with hope, with longing, but sotis promises are what hurt a person the deepest!"
"I don’t care. I can give up everything, but I cannot be without you. If you choose to leave , then sorry, but I’ll go be with you right now. I don’t ask for much in life, I don’t hope to have a large family fortune, nor do I hope to live a glorious life. I just hope to spend my life with a woman like . Is that really so hard? I beg you, please don’t leave . As long as you stay, I’ll listen to everything you say! The two of us have been through so much together, never like today. I’ve never pleaded with you like I am today. This is the first ti in my life I’ve begged a woman. You are the only one I’ve ever spoken to in such a pleading tone. Can you give more trust, stay by my side? Let take care of you for life, I promise I won’t let you suffer even a little bit of hurt. Let’s not bring up those unhappy things of the past. As long as we can live happily ever after, that’s enough. Don’t think about those sad things anymore!"
"How many tis do I have to tell you? I really can’t make any promises right now, because I’m afraid that if I make a promise, I’ll let you down. I don’t want that day to co, I’m scared that in three years, it will be you who fails , just like before. I’ve always been so confident that we could last a long ti, but in the end, I realized it was all just a mirage. Do you know? I once had a dream where we got married, had a happy family, had everything. But do you know what conclusion I ca to in the end?"
"What is it?"
"The dream is just a mirage in real life... Do you know what that ans? Because everything that happens in a dream doesn’t exist in real life. I’m afraid that one day this will beco reality. I fear there’s no future for us. So I beg you, don’t push , give so way out, let survive in this world for one more day!"
"I beg you, don’t leave , I’m begging you. Do you want to kneel down and beg you?"
"I’m willing to agree to try, but if one day I fail you, I hope you won’t hate !"
"Okay!"
