Chapter 244 Wife, I’m sorry, I said the wrong thing.

The two were silent all the way.

Xu Jialan has been thinking about why Shen Xichuan chose to retire.

And Shen Xichuan thought that Xu Jialan was angry because of what happened just now, so he ignored him.

The vehicle was parked steadily in the parking space.

Shen Xichuan unbuckled his seat belt and was about to go around to the passenger seat to open the car door.

Xu Jialan had already gotten off the car.

He paused, quickly got out of the car and followed.

Xu Jialan frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shen Xichuan walked beside her, looked at her for a few seconds, and then tentatively reached out to hold her hand.

Xu Jialan just glanced at him and said nothing.

The man then breathed a sigh of relief and held her hand tightly.

Return to the apartment.

Shen Xichuan took advantage of her not reacting, grabbed her waist and lifted her up, then put her on the shoe cabinet.

Xu Jialan: “…”

She sat on the shoe cabinet and looked down at him.

"I'm sorry." The man said bluntly.

Xu Jialan: “?”

She frowned, "You..."

"Honey, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."

Shen Xichuan put his hands on the shoe counter on both sides of her, staring at her closely.

Xu Jialan was stunned for a long time before he reacted.

"You mean just now in the car..."

Shen Xichuan nodded, moved closer to her, and blinked innocently, imitating her.

"Well, I said something wrong, you can hit me and scold me as much as you want."

Just don't ignore him.

Xu Jialan lowered his eyes and looked at the man in front of him.

The arrogant second young master of the Shen family has now learned how to seduce people with his beauty.

A smile flashed in her eyes, but she suppressed it and coughed lightly.

The tone is quite serious.

"I'll beat you and scold you, but just answer one question for me."

Shen Xichuan didn’t think much about it and nodded, “Okay, ask.”

Xu Jialan looked at him steadily.

After a few seconds, she slowly spoke, "Are you... planning to retire?"

Shen Xichuan's expression paused, and the only smile on his face disappeared.

"Who told you that?"

He spoke in a relaxed tone, as if nothing had happened.

Xu Jialan held his shoulders with both hands and stared at him closely.

"Answer me this question first."

Shen Xichuan pursed his lips and was about to speak.

Xu Jialan added, "Don't hide anything from me, and don't lie to me."

Shen Xichuan: “…”

He sighed silently, "Ancestor, don't you already know?"

Xu Jialan looked at him seriously, "So, it's true, you really want to retire, right?"

The man paused for half a second and nodded, "Yes, I was planning to tell you after the wedding."

Xu Jialan looked at him, puzzled, "Why?"

"Why did you suddenly choose to retire?"

Shen Xichuan didn’t speak.

Xu Jialan was stunned for half a second, "Is it... because of me?"

"no."

Shen Xichuan decisively denied it.

Xu Jialan looked at him and said nothing.

"Really not." He emphasized again.

Xu Jialan still didn't speak.

Her mind was working rapidly.

Thinking about what exactly caused Shen Xichuan to make this decision.

But she couldn't think of anything.

The man held her hand tightly and said to her, "Lanlan, look at me."

Xu Jialan's eyelashes drooped and his eyes fell on his face.

"I admit that before making this decision, a small part of my considerations did have something to do with you, but it's not entirely because of you that I did this."

Hearing this, Xu Jialan was stunned, "Then what other reason is there?"

What other reasons could there be for him to choose to give up his dreams and ideals?

This was clearly what he had always dreamed of.

He even went so far as to complete his studies and graduate early just to join the fire department.

She didn't want to be a stumbling block to him.

Shen Xichuan said slowly in a calm tone, “Because, I have a plan, and the person who is most suitable to complete this plan is only me.”

He looked at her and explained seriously, "The reason you've persisted in the cancer medicine project for so many years is because you want to give cancer patients hope, right?"

"Without medicine, the only outcome facing those patients is death."

"So, you want to develop a drug that can cure them. My plan and your experiment have the same purpose."

After hearing this, Xu Jialan fell silent.

Shen Xichuan paused for a few seconds and continued, “For firefighters, if the equipment they carry and the equipment used for on-site rescue are not perfect enough, the loss will not only be the safety of people’s lives and property, but also the professional firefighters carefully trained by the Chinese Fire Department.”

"Medicines, like firefighting equipment, are weapons that can protect the people."

"So, I hope to be like you and do my best to help everyone."

Xu Jialan looked at him and paused, "So what are you going to do?"

Shen Xichuan chuckled, “Return to Shen’s.”

"When the time comes, I will establish a foundation in the name of the Shen family, and then form a team, inject funds into them, and develop equipment specifically for this purpose, striving to ensure that every firefighter can go out on duty safely and return safely."

After he finished speaking, he looked into Xu Jialan's eyes and said, "This is my plan. Another small consideration is that I also hope that I can spend more time with you. This is responsible for our marriage."

Xu Jialan lowered his head, "Then you won't regret it?"

Shen Xichuan paused and smiled, “I have no regrets anymore.”

So, it can’t be said that I don’t regret it.

He squeezed her hand and said, "Why are you silent? I didn't mean to not tell you in advance. I was just afraid that you would misunderstand that I chose to retire because of you, as you are now."

Even so, this reason does exist.

But he didn't want her to have any psychological burden.

"If you don't tell me, won't I misunderstand it too?" she said.

The man laughed, "Yes, I was wrong, so what do you want in exchange for your forgiveness?"

Xu Jialan sighed and looked at him, "I don't blame you."

Shen Xichuan raised his eyes slightly, “Yes, he didn’t blame me, but blamed himself.”

Xu Jialan: "...and you know?"

“I’m your husband, what else don’t I know?” Shen Xichuan was helpless.

Xu Jialan thought for a moment and hummed, "Then do you know what I'm thinking about now?"

He raised an eyebrow, "What are you thinking about?"

Xu Jialan bent down and put his arm around the man's shoulders.

“Even if Captain Shen retires, he will always be a hero in Mrs. Shen’s heart.”

She spoke word by word.
