"You can’t go."

Ningwan was the first to disagree.

Zhan Yunxiao and Xia Luo also said, "Mu Chen is insidious and cunning, ruthless and heartless, who knows what he’s planning? Mom’s right, Dad, you can’t go."

"But now, he’s asking for me by name," Zhan Hanjue said.

"You still can’t go," Ningwan grabbed his arm. "Feng Qianru has always hated us. Who knows if she’ll have Mu Chen harm you? If anything happens to you, what am I supposed to do?"

"Dad, I’ll give up the child, just don’t go."

Xia Luo painfully made up her mind and was finally willing to give up the child.

Zhan Yunxiao looked at her in surprise, "Luoluo, have you really decided to give up the child?"

Previously, she wouldn’t give up no matter what, even at the cost of arguing with him, yet now she was saying she’d give up, leaving him quite surprised.

Xia Luo nodded, holding Zhan Yunxiao’s hand apologetically, "Xiao, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have argued with you before. But I want you to know, the reason I didn’t want to give up the child wasn’t because of Fang Qingyang, nor because of Qingqing. It’s just that he’s our child, our first child together, and I didn’t want to give him up. I wanted to have a child with you, that’s why I was reluctant. Now I’ve realized, compared to an unknown life, cherishing those we have now is more important. I hope our whole family can be safe and sound, so I’m willing to give up, and I hope you no longer misunderstand me."

"It was my fault, Luoluo, I’m sorry,"

Zhan Yunxiao didn’t expect Xia Luo to say these things to him, and immediately felt deeply remorseful, apologizing right away.

Xia Luo shook her head and gently leaned on his shoulder, "In the future, let’s never misunderstand each other again. I love you, it’s never changed, there’s never been anyone else, I wanted to save Qingqing, but that was out of guilt, nothing more."

"I understand, and I promise there won’t be any more misunderstandings."

Zhan Yunxiao held her hand in one of his and wrapped his other arm around her shoulders, making a sincere vow to her. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Zhan Hanjue and Ningwan watched the couple harmoniously, feeling greatly relieved.

Ningwan glanced at Zhan Hanjue and saw the depth in his eyes, her heart twinged. She gave him a look, and the two went upstairs.

"Are you still planning to meet Mu Chen?"

After going upstairs, Ningwan inquired.

Zhan Hanjue nodded, "Wanwan, I don’t want to hide it from you; I do want to meet him. You saw how deep Xiao and Xia Luo’s feelings are, they’ve finally got a child, how can we bear to let them suffer the pain of losing a child? We are also parents; even though he is grown, I still hope to protect him, to shield him from the storms."

"But if you go to meet him, what if there’s danger? If anything happens to you, what will I do?"

Ningwan’s eyes turned red as she couldn’t help but lean on his shoulder, hugging him tightly by the waist.

She understood the rationale behind his words.

It’s not just about his feelings for Xiao and Xia Luo; even as a doctor, he wishes the child in Xia Luo’s womb, even if unrelated to their family, to be healthy.

But everyone has selfish desires, and she’s no exception.

She hopes to practice medicine and save people, hoping to help more, but she hopes even more to grow old together with Zhan Hanjue, sharing a life together.

"You mentioned ’what if,’ which is uncertain. If there isn’t that ’what if,’ and no danger, wouldn’t we be helping them while also saving our grandchild?" Zhan Hanjue said.

At this point,

Even if Ningwan had a hundred unwillingness in her heart, she couldn’t stop Zhan Hanjue anymore.

Moreover, she knew she couldn’t stop him.

Once he decided to do something, it had to be done.

"Okay, I agree to let you go. However, you must plan well and ensure your safety without fail. Zhan Hanjue, remember, you’re not just Zhan Yunxiao’s father, but also my husband. You can protect him, shield him from the storms, but you’re also meant to share a life with me. Losing you would be sad and painful for him, but losing you, I couldn’t live on."

"I know, don’t worry. I’ve promised to spend this life with you well; why would I be willing to leave early?"

Zhan Hanjue lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and softly promised her.

Ningwan hugged him even tighter, afraid he might leave her.
