Su Xiao Ning was in the living room watching Qin Zhao Mu give Wen Zhi Nu a needle treatment for a while before she yawned and went upstairs.

  It was already past one o'clock in the middle of the night.

  Because she slept a lot on the big bus during the day, it wasn't until this time that she started to feel slightly sleepy.

  Mo Chenyuan must be asleep at this time, right?

  Su Xiaoning pushed open the door with a hint of guilt.

  At this time she actually didn't know how to comfort him and also didn't know what would make him stop thinking so much.

  After simply washing up, Su Xiaoning quietly climbed onto the bed and hugged the man's sturdy waist.

  "Husband..."

  She closed her eyes and let out a soft sigh.

  It has always been Mo Chenyuan who helped her, solving all the problems she encountered, good or bad.

  She can help Mo Chen Yu's part, less and less.

  She was so silly and didn't know how to make his mood better, so she could only follow what Qin said and let him calm down by himself.

  If one day...

  She pursed her lips, if one day she found out that her uncle was also a bad person, she might be more miserable than Mu Chenyu now.

  He always regarded his sister as sacred and revered, his closest relative.

  What comes out of a warm and comfortable mouth is actually a devil, through and through.

  Husband.

  She wrapped her arms around his waist and let out a deep sigh, "I'm so stupid."

  "I don't know how to comfort you, I don't know what can make you happier."

  "Don't blame me."

  Her voice was very soft, so soft that she thought only she could hear it.

  A moment later, her hand was tightly clasped in the man's large palm.

  In the darkness, his low voice came over, "Xiao Ning."

  The temperature of the man's palm warmed Su Xiao Ning's heart.

  She puckered her lips, "I'm here."

  "I'm also afraid."

  His low voice carried a hint of loneliness and desolation, "I'm afraid that what Wen Zhiwan said is all true."

  Su Xiaoning grasped his hand, saying nothing.

  He sighed again on his own and said, "Actually, I know she's telling the truth."

  "My sister... is indeed a ruthless person."

  Thirteen years of memories, he still has them all stored away.

  He just always remembers the good things she did for him and automatically filters out her tactics towards others outside.

  When he closed his eyes, he could still recall that when Mo Fu Song held his hand and told him, "Chen Yu, the death of your parents is a responsibility that every member of the Mo family has, and every partner who cooperates with the Mo family also has this responsibility."

  "This world is a jungle where the strong prey on the weak; if you don't become heartless, others will take advantage of you."

  "Dad and mom are just too kind-hearted, which is why they ended up in this situation."

  "So we have to be ruthless."

  He let out a wry smile.

  Before meeting Su Xiao Ning, he indeed treated others coldly, ruthlessly and unscrupulously, just as she had said.

  All the unsolvable problems Mo Jia encountered over the years were secretly manipulated by him.

  He carefully laid out a series of plans, leading the Mohists step by step into a desperate situation.

  He doesn't think he's cruel, nor does he think he's indifferent.

  But then he met Su Xiaoning.

  Her radiance and sunshine gradually helped him recover that heart which had been closed off by the world's indifference.

  The man grasped the girl's hand and tightened it fiercely.

  "Many hatreds are actually things that can't be let go of."

  "But I hope she won't drag innocent people in again."

  Mo Chenyuan turned around and pulled Su Xiaoning into his arms, gently kissing her forehead. "It's us who owe Wen Zhiwen."

  "So..."

  He took a deep breath and held her face in his hands. "If I said that from now on, I'll give Wen Zhiwan more protection, would you be unhappy?"

  Su Xiaoning was taken aback, "The shelter you mentioned is..."

  "I think... I'll treat her like a little sister."

  His deep eyes stared at Su Xiaoning, sincere and serious, "I couldn't think of a better way to make up for it."

  "So I was thinking, can we let her be your and my sister, take care of her, protect her until she gets married."

  "My sister was hurt, and as her younger brother, I should be the one to make it up to her."

  Su Xiaoning pursed her lips and couldn't say a word for a long time.

  She actually understands Mo Chenyu's idea.

  It's just...

  She couldn't forget that Wen Zhiyuan had been eager to get close to him before.

  She said she was under Mo Fu's arrangement and would intentionally get close to Mo Chenyuan, destroying their marital relationship.

  Ke Su Xiao Ning had an emotional knot after all.

  She closed her eyes, hesitated for a moment, "What... kind of sister?"

  Mo Chenyuan chuckled and wrapped his arms around her petite body. "Anyway, it's not a sisterly love."

  "Of course, this is just one of my preconceptions."

  "Considering she has a record, let's take it slow. If everything she says is true and there are no other intentions, we can hold a ceremony to get her registered in our household."

  Su Xiao Ning hesitated for a moment, feeling somewhat bewildered, "Can it be like this?"

  "I thought... only you, my child, could..."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the man's large hand moved gently to her lower abdomen and rubbed it lightly, "I remember I gave you many seeds."

  "If it can't sprout, let's try another large-scale sowing in a few days?"

  The heat of the man's palm was scorching Su Xiaoling's skin.

  She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the past few days... her memory of being unable to get out of bed.

  The girl's face changed instantly, "No no no..."

  "You can't help it."

  He chuckled and hugged her.

  In the dim light of night, the smile on the man's face gradually turned bitter.

  All along, he had hoped that Wen Zhi would give him a lead about her.

  Wen Zhi Nuan has always been ambiguous.

  He thought she was being deliberately mysterious, but now he realizes that she couldn't speak up and didn't dare to.

  But... she gave him too much information tonight.

  If it weren't for Su Xiao Ning, he really didn't know how he would face all of this alone.

  ————————

  The next morning, Cheng Xue started making phone calls one by one. Everyone was preparing to go up the mountain for a photo shoot and gathering inspiration.

  Su Xiaoning yawned and went downstairs, where everyone was already waiting in the living room.

  Tang Yihan wore a duck-tongued hat and sat in the corner with a gloomy face, Gu Senzhi sat beside her, both of them were covered in scars.

  Qin and Mo Xuan were leisurely drinking tea and chatting about the weather.

  At the other end of the sofa—

  She leaned weakly on the sofa, her eyes gazing softly at Zheng Haobin, "Thanks to you, otherwise I would have gone hungry this morning."

  Zheng Haobin held a bowl of rice in one hand and a spoon in the other, gently feeding her porridge. "What are you saying? We're all classmates, it's only right that we help each other."

  Tang Yihan's face looked even more unsightly.

  Gu Sen couldn't help but laugh lightly.

  Hearing Su Xiaoning's footsteps going downstairs, Wen Zhiwen raised his head to look at her with a hint of slyness in his eyes.

  "Ouch, it's scalding hot."

  "Is it hot?"

  Zheng Haobin hastily took a spoon and blew on it before feeding it over, "How's this?"

  Qin Chaowu, who was sipping tea on the side, spoke up indifferently, "Yi Han, your boyfriend is like this, and you don't care?"
