669 Everyone Needs to Grow up
“I was rude and insulted Mrs. Ji first. I was impolite to Mrs. Ji. She only slapped me because she was angry. I deserved it.” Lu Nuannuan touched her face. Her cheeks were burning hot, and when her slightly cold fingertips touched her cheeks, it brought a comfortable coolness. As she spoke, she felt as if the heavy burden in her heart had been lifted a little, and she felt a little more relaxed. She had done nothing wrong. She should have told the truth. She should not have allowed Shen Hanxing to continue being misunderstood.
Lu Nuannuan encouraged herself in her heart. She clenched her fists and continued. “I don’t blame anyone for what happened today. I only blame myself for being careless.” After a pause, she mustered her courage and walked forward. Finally, she looked up at Shen Hanxing, who was standing a few steps away. “Mrs. Ji…” Her eyes were slightly red as she softly said, “Thank you, and I’m sorry.” She was sorry for not being sensible and saying so many vicious words. She was sorry for being too selfish and willful, causing Shen Hanxing to fall into the sea. She was sorry for framing Shen Hanxing time and time again, causing Shen Hanxing so much trouble. Lu Nuannuan was not apologizing because she was afraid of Shen Hanxing’s beating. She was sincerely sorry. She bent down and bowed to Shen Hanxing and her clear tears fell onto the deck of the cruise ship.
Shen Hanxing was a little surprised. She did not expect the arrogant Lu Nuannuan would lower her head and repent one day. She did not expect her to thank and apologize for her past mistakes and reflect on them. Shen Hanxing’s emotions were a little complicated. She remained silent for a long time before she laughed in relief. “It doesn’t matter. Just learn from your mistakes in the future.” Everyone had to grow up, and one’s past should never affect one’s future.
Having received Shen Hanxing’s forgiveness, Lu Nuannuan’s tears fell like a waterfall. She never thought that her vicious self would be met with such gentleness from Shen Hanxing. She would never forget how Shen Hanxing’s beautiful face had appeared out of nowhere like a savior in the ocean of despair. She had been so reliable, gentle, and powerful. If she had not been so arrogant and had not been so prejudiced against Shen Hanxing in the past, would Shen Hanxing have had the chance to become her sister-in-law? No, Lu Nuannuan rejected the thought the moment it flashed through her mind. How could she have such an extravagant hope? Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan were such a good match. Even if she thought that her brother was a great man, she had to admit that Lu Shaoyang was not good enough for Shen Hanxing.
!!The turn of events was so unexpected that even Mrs. Lin could not react in time. She looked left and right, then took a step forward. “Nuannuan, what nonsense are you spouting?” She was a little anxious and angry. She tugged at Lu Nuannuan and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Are you possessed? What do you have to apologize to Shen Hanxing for?”
“Mrs. Lu, I advise you to watch your words.” Upon hearing Mrs. Lu’s words, Ji Yan’s face darkened instantly and he looked at Mrs. Lu with a dangerous gaze. “Insulting my wife in front of me like this, Mrs. Lu, do you think I have a good temper?”
“I… didn’t mean it that way.” Mrs. Lu was stunned and looked at Ji Yan with a stiff expression. Under Ji Yan’s cold gaze, she became more and more afraid and explained dryly, “I’m just…” Her lips trembled for a long time, but she could not come up with a proper explanation.
“President Ji, my wife said something wrong in a moment of anxiety.” Lu Guo hurriedly stepped forward to ease the situation. He forced a smile on his face. “My wife was just too concerned about our daughter. I hope you can understand.”
“What if I say I don’t understand?” Ji Yan’s lips curved into a mocking smile as he looked at Lu Guo with a cold gaze. “I’m not a father yet, so I don’t understand what you mean by being concerned about your daughter. I only know that I have to protect my wife and I’ve always been a very protective person!” He took a step forward, his tall and straight figure filled with dominance. “Whoever dares to touch my wife, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Previously, Shen Hanxing had mentioned that she wanted to settle everything by herself, so Ji Yan stood behind her to hide his presence. At this moment, he walked out and stood side by side with Ji Yan. He did not hide his presence at all. Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan were both outstanding in appearance and temperament. The two of them were a perfect match when they stood together, and it was hard for people to look away from them.
