Chapter 468: 467 Everyone makes mistakes

Seemingly sensing her mood, Mo Xiuchen’s eyes tighten slightly. His slender fingers intertwine tightly with hers, and he softly says, “Ranran, don’t let your thoughts run wild. No matter what happens, I’m here. You don’t have to be afraid or worry.”

A warmth springs into Wen Ran’s heart. His deep voice, the comforting words—hearing these, her heart, inexplicably, settles down.

“I know. I just hope the police will catch Wu Tianyi soon.”

“They will. The net of heaven has wide meshes, but it lets nothing through. Xiao Wenqing has already been arrested, Wu Tianyi won’t be able to escape for long.”

Despite the low tone of Mo Xiuchen’s voice, it carries an undercurrent of determination. His deep-set eyes harbor an unfathomable darkness, which disappears in the next instant, quickly replaced by a soft affectionate gaze that clearly reflects Wen Ran’s delicate, fair face.

In an apartment in G City.

Shen Yuting and Jiang Liu are having dinner.

At the dinner table, Jiang Liu excitedly tells Shen Yuting that he successfully signed a client. Even though it’s not a large client, he is very happy.

“This is a good start. I believe you will do better and better.” Shen Yuting replies, picking up a chicken leg and placing it into his bowl, “This is your reward. Keep going.”

“Yuting, it’s all thanks to you. If not for your encouragement, I definitely couldn’t have done it,” Jiang Liu expresses sincere gratitude towards Shen Yuting. A gentle softness flows through his clear eyes. In the past, he didn’t understand love, and only knew how to live a carefree life.

Despite the short time he has been with Shen Yuting, he has unknowingly developed feelings for her and wants to continue this journey.

He realizes that being sincerely with a woman brings more happiness and joy than dealing insincerely with countless others.

Even for her sake, he had lied to Cheng Jia. Although he found out from her that Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen were in Bali Island, he told Cheng Jia they went to Paris.

Shen Yuting chuckles lightly, “This is not my credit, it’s obviously your own hard work. Jiang Liu, as long as you’re willing to, you can surely do very well.”

Men need encouragement, especially people like Jiang Liu. Shen Yuting knows very well that the difference between the results of a word of encouragement and a word of complaint is as vast as heaven and earth.

Jiang Liu picks up a chicken wing and places it on Shen Yuting’s plate, softly saying: “Yuting, if it wasn’t for you, I definitely wouldn’t have thought about settling down and focusing on work. In the past, I was very reckless and committed numerous mistakes. Thank you for giving me a chance to change.”

Shen Yuting presses her lips together, quietly looking at Jiang Liu while listening to his heartfelt words, a feeling she can’t quite name arises in her heart.

“Everyone makes mistakes. I care about your present and future, not your past. You don’t need to blame yourself, and in the future, you don’t need to think about the past.”

Shen Yuting hides her emotions, revealing a soft smile. Every word and sentence she speaks is an encouragement to and acceptance of Jiang Liu.

“There’s something I haven’t told you yet.”

“What is it?”

Shen Yuting puts down her chopsticks, looking at him seriously.

“I want to move. This apartment was rented with other people’s money. Yuting, the place I used to live in wasn’t as high-end as this, it was a very cheap rental.”

As Jiang Liu says this, he appears somewhat stiff. It isn’t easy for a formerly reckless, lazy, and vain man to confess everything about himself.

Looking at his handsome, yet not-so-confident, even somewhat embarrassed face, Shen Yuting suddenly feels a twinge of pain.

After a few seconds of eye contact, she suddenly stands up and hugs him: “Tomorrow, I’ll help you move. We’ll go back to the place where you lived before.”

Jiang Liu is touched and tightly hugs Shen Yuting back, guiltily saying, “Yuting, I won’t always let you suffer with me. I will work twice as hard and ensure you live a happy life.”

“I don’t mind.”

Shen Yuting’s voice is soft, but to Jiang Liu, it’s a huge shock.

After Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran arrive home, eat, take a bath, and lie down in bed, they soon fall asleep.

Listening to her even breathing, looking at her peaceful sleeping face, a touch of tenderness spreads across Mo Xiuchen’s lips, and his deep eyes fill with warmth.

Gently withdrawing his own arm, he covers Wen Ran with a blanket, then gets off the bed and goes to the study room to light a cigarette.

Recalling Xiao Wenqing’s words, he feels an involuntary sense of unease.

His handsome face, now hidden behind a cloud of smoke, gradually hardens. His sexy thin lips tighten, and he takes out his phone to dial Gu Kai’s number.

That evening, when he returned from the police station, Gu Kai had just entered the operating room.

The phone rings twice before being answered; Gu Kai’s voice comes through the line, “Hello, Xiuchen.”

“When I returned to the hospital tonight, you were just going into the operating room. How is Zhang Ergou’s condition? ”

Leaning back in his chair, Mo Xiuchen’s tall figure bears a shade of frost. According to Zhang Ergou, all of Wu Tianyi’s subordinates are like him.

“Zhang Ergou’s condition isn’t severe; he can be detoxified within a month.” Gu Kai answers him, and then asks, “How about Ranran? Has she fallen asleep?”

“Yes, she refused to sleep on the plane. It was only when she saw that Xiaoxiao was safe, that she finally let out a sigh of relief and fell asleep once she hit the bed.” As the conversation turns to Wen Ran, the hint of chill in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes melts away, and his brows soften.

Only when you are truly in love with someone, could such responses emerge unconsciously.

Every time he thinks about her, his heart softens up. The reason he took action at the police station earlier was because Xiao Wenqing had mentioned his Ranran.

“It’s regretful that Zhang Ergou doesn’t know where Wu Tianyi is hiding. Be careful during this period. Now that Xiao Wenqing has been arrested, Wu Tianyi will definitely take action.” Gu Kai cautions with a hint of unease and then asks, “Even though it has been twenty days since it happened, the situation has never been calm. Have you thought about how you would explain this to Ranran if she finds out?”

Mo Xiuchen’s hand gripping the phone tightens; his voice, emanating from his lips, is low and deep: “On the way back earlier, Ranran asked if anything has happened these days. She would definitely find out. It’s better to stick to the original plan and tell her that those were rumors when the time comes.”

Couples in love are always on the same wavelength.

During their time in Bali Island, although Wen Ran didn’t ask about the reasons and acted happy like a little bird every day, Mo Xiuchen knew she was perplexed.

It’s just that he didn’t disclose it, and she didn’t ask about it.

Perhaps she feels that no matter what he does, it’s for her own good, so she doesn’t ask. Or perhaps, she thinks that she would know whatever happened once they returned to G City.

So, she doesn’t ask.
