Chapter 220 So, she was not the one who abandoned her husband and children

at the same time.

Small terrace on the second floor.

Shen Yankai held a cup of coffee, leaned on the railing, and looked at the small house in the garden not far away.

He asked, "Have you really made up your mind?"

Shen Xichuan stood aside with his hands in his pockets, his eyes deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"What decision?"

Shen Yankai snorted softly, “I’m your brother, what are you trying to do, do you think I can’t see it?”

Shen Xichuan glanced at him and said nothing.

"Back then, you put in so much sweat and effort to join the fire department, and it took so much effort to get close to your dream. Now, before the time is right, you are ready to give up?"

Shen Yankai put one hand on the railing and asked him sideways.

Shen Xichuan was silent for a few seconds, “I have realized my dream.”

“Four more years.” Shen Yankai retorted.

Shen Xichuan: “…”

He looked at Xu Jialan in the small house, paused for a moment, and then slowly said, "Too many variables in four years."

The voice is a little deep.

Hearing this, Shen Yankai also fell silent.

How could he not know that there are too many variables in four years?

"Don't you regret it?" he asked.

Shen Xichuan kept looking at her, with a gentleness that was not easy to reveal in his eyes, “I am already satisfied.”

What else is there to regret?

Shen Yankai was silent again.

Shen Xichuan looked at him sideways, “A person’s life has more than just one goal. I can’t be so selfish and let others sacrifice for my own dream.”

"Who sacrificed?" Shen Yankai asked subconsciously.

Shen Xichuan looked at him and said nothing.

Shen Yankai was helpless, “There is really no sacrifice, this is what I should do.”

Shen Xichuan also said, “That’s what I want to do.”

Shen Yankai: “…”

"Xiaochuan..."

“Brother.” Shen Xichuan interrupted him, “I’m scared.”

Shen Yankai frowned and looked at him.

The man lowered his long eyelashes slightly, stretched out his hand, and held an amulet in his palm.

Shen Yankai knew about the amulet.

Xu Jialan begged it back from the temple after kneeling and kowtowing three times.

Amulet specially requested for Shen Xichuan.

Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes and looked at the amulet in his palm.

"I can't bear... to let her suffer any more injustice."

The voice was so soft that it drifted away on the wind.

He didn't lie to Xu Jialan.

He had indeed had a nightmare.

But it's not what is called abandoning husband and children.

But he abandoned her.

The dream was so real...it was as if I had experienced it myself.

His memory of his first meeting with Xu Jialan was very vague, and he couldn't remember what her expression was like when she lost both her parents one after another.

But in the dream, he was like an outsider, seeing how she lost her light.

She was so fragile that she would break if pushed lightly.

From the moment I learned of his departure to the end of the ceremony.

She looked very calm.

So peaceful that you can't even see the sadness.

So, no one expected that she would be so decisive.

Chose the path of no return.

It's not just her.

She didn't know it at that time.

He watched her break apart bit by bit in his dream.

After hearing the doctor's last words, he almost collapsed.

So, she was not the one who abandoned her husband and children.

He was the one who abandoned his wife and children.

Shen Yankai sighed deeply, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "Think about it again, or discuss it with Jia Lan."

"As for the company's affairs, don't worry. I'm here. Those minions are just small fry. They can't threaten the company, okay?"

Shen Xichuan didn’t speak.

Shen Yankai shook his head helplessly, without saying anything more, just pressed his shoulder, then turned and left.

Patriarch Shen was standing outside the study. Seeing him come out, he asked, "Have you decided?"

Shen Yankai turned around, glanced at Shen Xichuan’s back, and nodded, “It should be.”

The head of the Shen family did not speak, his expression darkened.

…

In the bedroom.

Xu Jialan sat on the sofa with a notebook on his legs.

I was halfway through writing the test report when I suddenly couldn't continue.

Her mind kept echoing with what Mrs. Shen had said in the small house just now.

They haven't seen each other for many years.

But she also learned from some fragmented information how much effort he had put into this dream.

Would he really give up so easily?

But she knew that he was never someone who would give up easily.

Never.

He will give his all to achieve his goals.

But if something happens to the Shen family...

He is a member of the Shen family and he will definitely not stand idly by.

Xu Jialan sighed unconsciously.

Shen Xichuan saw this scene as soon as he opened the door and came in.

He raised his eyes slightly, "What are you sighing about?"

As he said that, he walked over.

He casually glanced at the half-written report on the screen.

"About work?"

He sat beside her on the sofa, put his arm around her waist out of habit, and kissed her temples.

Xu Jialan quickly came to his senses, "You're back?"

The man hummed.

"What did you talk about in the study just now?" she asked tentatively.

Shen Xichuan looked at her sideways and raised an eyebrow, “Want to know?”

Xu Jialan nodded honestly, "I do."

"Something about the wedding," he said.

Xu Jialan: “?”

"Dad and my eldest brother wanted to know what kind of wedding I wanted to have and who to invite, so we just chatted for a while."

Shen Xichuan glanced at her sideways and chuckled, “Don’t you believe it?”

His tone was relaxed, and it sounded like it was true.

Xu Jialan was silent for a moment, "I don't doubt it."

She just felt a little sad.

There was no way to share her sadness with him, and in the end he had to comfort her.

Shen Xichuan rubbed her head and asked in a low voice, “Then do you have any requirements for the wedding?”

He asked seriously.

Xu Jialan thought about it and shook his head, "It seems not."

Shen Xichuan raised his eyebrows, “No requirements at all?”

Xu Jialan looked at him, "That's not it."

"Um?"

"The groom is you," she said.

The man was stunned for half a second, then he laughed and hugged her waist tightly, "Who else do you want as your groom besides me?"

Xu Jialan shook his head, "No one."

Just him.

Only him.

Shen Xichuan rested his chin on her shoulder, his eyes fixed on the screen, “Is this the test result of the fire?”

Xu Jialan came back to his senses and nodded, "Yeah, that's right."

"You found the DNA of two suspects in the rubble of the exploded warehouse?"

"Yes, I suspect there is more than one murderer."
