Seeing this, Ning Wan felt both annoyed and amused.
After finally managing to get Shen Fu to sit up straight and kneel down again, both of their gazes turned to the side.
Ning Yanshu, who had been sitting cross-legged, watching the commotion, quietly gathered up the melon seed shells and knelt down again.
Shen Fu coughed lightly, his expression serious.
He adopted a fatherly tone and asked, "Tell me, what did you do to make Mom angry?"
Ning Yanshu lowered his head and answered honestly, "I shouldn't have made the decision without consulting my mother. I was stubborn and self-righteous..."
"Stop..." Shen Fu interrupted him, "If you're going to talk, then talk properly. Why are you copying me?"
Ning Wan glared at him fiercely: "Shut up and listen to me properly!"
Shen Fu gave a pitiful "Oh".
Ning Yanshu then continued, "I shouldn't have acted on my own initiative, wanting to... wanting to jump into the river and commit suicide..."
The veins on his forehead throbbed with tension: "What did you say?"
Jump into the river?
suicide? ! ……
...
"Yes! It was suicide!"
Ning Wan jumped up from the sofa, tears welling in her eyes: "Your son ran to the little river where Grandma Chen had managed to save him, and jumped in without any hesitation!"
I recall those endless, repetitive cycles.
Everything seems so vivid in my mind.
Unable to control the panic and fear in her heart, Ning Wan burst into tears.
Her voice choked with emotion as she said, "This is what you call 'doing what's best for us,' this is your self-righteous sacrifice and dedication. You haven't really considered our feelings at all."
"Love is not about absolute sacrifice. I want us to be a whole, a family. There should be no secrets, and we should trust each other. We've been doing well before, haven't we?"
Ning Wan cried uncontrollably, as if she had endless sorrow and grievances to express.
Hearing her cries, Shen Fu felt even more guilty.
Ning Yanshu was also frightened by her appearance and couldn't help but burst into tears.
She apologized haltingly, saying, "Mom, I'm sorry... Xiaoshu knows she was wrong, I'm sorry..."
Ning Wan sniffed and looked intently at Shen Fu: "Do you still remember Grandma Chen?"
With red eyes, Shen Fu nodded with difficulty.
"You know why Grandma Chen came, right? And do you remember what I said?"
As Ning Wan spoke, Shen Fu's thoughts returned to the past.
He answered earnestly, word by word: "No matter who it is, they know nothing about the future. But I still choose to overcome all difficulties and obstacles, traversing time and space, to come to your side."
Ning Wan opened her mouth and spoke in unison with him—
"Because no matter what happens, you and Xiaoshu will always be my unwavering choice."
"Because no matter what happens, you and Xiaoshu will always be my unwavering choice."...
...
Looking into Ning Wan's gentle yet determined eyes, Shen Fu was deeply moved.
At that moment, he truly realized his mistake.
Shen Fu lowered his head and sincerely apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, Wanwan, I was wrong."
He turned to Ning Yanshu and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaoshu. It's Dad's fault. Will you forgive Dad?"
Ning Yanshu waved her hands repeatedly: "It's my fault, I made mistakes too... I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry, Dad. I won't do it again."
Seeing that the father and son were sincerely apologizing to each other, Ning Wan also let out a long sigh.
"Now that the problem is solved, let's go cook... I'm hungry."
He slowly looked up at Ning Wan.
His eyes were filled with disbelief: "...Wanwan, you're willing to forgive me?"
She forgave him so easily?
...
Ning Wan, of course, did not want to forgive so quickly.
But when he saw Shen Fu and Ning Yanshu standing safely in front of him...
The pent-up frustration in my heart has long since vanished.
There's no need for so much fuss and resentment anymore.
"Even now, when I think back to the days when I was cyberbullied, and recall the circumstances of Xiaoshu's suicide, I still feel lingering fear. But I don't want to blame you for what you did in the past..."
Ning Wan smiled, her expression relieved, and said, "I know you must have been confused at the time, not knowing what to do. Your decision may not have been the best choice, but it was the optimal consideration after taking all factors into account."
"No one can make all the right choices at every crossroads. But thankfully, at least we're all safe and sound now, and you're home safely. That's enough..."
His deep eyes were moist, and his gaze was filled with surprise.
It should have been a happy occasion, but he couldn't stop the large tears from falling one by one.
He hugged Ning Wan, sobbing softly, "Wanwan, thank you. Thank you..."
Ning Wan patted his back, comforting him, "I'm the one who should be saying thank you. I never knew that when you left without saying goodbye when we were little, you ended up in prison because you saved me..."
"Why didn't you say anything? You were so foolish, always silently giving... You really are so foolish..."
If netizens hadn't uncovered this, Ning Wan would have even suspected that Shen Fu intended to keep it a secret for the rest of his life.
Say nothing.
"Even this time, it was all for me and Xiaoshu..." Ning Wan rubbed her eyes, wiped away her tears, and joked, "So, does that make me your femme fatale?"
"No, you have never been a femme fatale."
Shen Fu's eyes were filled with tears, but his gaze was warm and kind.
