Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Mu Tiantian left Xiao Hailan alone and asked Anan to take her and Jiang Hui back to the villa.

She needs a nice bath.

I feel terrible if I don't shower for a day, and I also smell of that abandoned factory.

Just thinking about how long it would take for someone as fastidious as Fu Zhengting to take a shower makes me feel bad for him.

It will be a long process, she will have to be patient.

Once in the car, Jiang Hui held Mu Tiantian's hand and kept saying comforting words to her.

Mu Tiantian leaned her head on Jiang Hui's shoulder, a happy smile on her face. "Mom, don't worry, nothing can defeat me. I want to be an optimistic little sun, shining on Ashen."

Jiang Hui was very pleased and gently stroked Mu Tiantian's head. "Tiantian, I believe in you."

Looking out the car window, Mu Tiantian murmured, "Mom, what would my fate have been if you hadn't taken me in back then?"

Jiang Hui was also curious, a hint of a smile appearing in her eyes, "With your optimistic personality, no matter where you're sold, you'll end up living a good life."

"Turns out I was smart from a young age, knowing that crying like that would annoy human traffickers," Mu Tiantian joked to herself.

The thought of human traffickers still made her grit her teeth in hatred.

I hope that both the human traffickers and Yang Guanghui will be sentenced to death.

She touched her neck; thankfully, no tendons or veins were damaged, otherwise she would have bled to death, which would have been another tragic end.

Jiang Hui grabbed Mu Tiantian's hand to prevent her from touching the wound, and carefully instructed her, "When we get back to the villa, you must not touch the wound when you take a shower."

"Do you know how tense we were watching? I almost fainted from the tension."

Mu Tiantian didn't want to recall those cruel scenes anymore.

She thought she was going to die.

"I wish all the bad people in this world would die out, completely and utterly!"

She was so angry she gritted her teeth.

"Yang Guanghui is in jail now. Your father and A Shen's father have jointly sued him. The charge of illegally manufacturing bombs alone is enough to keep him in there for a long time," Jiang Hui comforted him. "Let the law punish him severely."

Mu Tiantian nodded. Although her anger was hard to quell, she thought that revenge only leads to more revenge, and this outcome was the best she could hope for.

"If Ah Shen can reconcile with his mother this time, that would be perfect."

Jiang Hui didn't dare to have too much hope, "I'm afraid it's very difficult."

"It's alright if it's difficult, it's just a matter of time. Once Ah Shen becomes a father himself, perhaps he will gradually let go of his resentment," Mu Tiantian prayed.

"I hope so," Jiang Hui said, offering her blessings.

The ward was quiet.

Xiao Hailan sat by the hospital bed looking at Fu Zhengting, her mind replaying the scene of her son lying in bed with a fever years ago.

She wasn't taking care of her son at that time.

Now I must take good care of my son.

She mustered her energy to stay awake.

Mu Tiantian returned to the long-missed villa, a faint smile on her face.

She said to Jiang Hui beside her, "Mom, you have no idea how scared I was when Uncle Zhong brought me here that night."

Jiang Huiqian glared at Mu Tiantian, "You silly child, you kept this from me and sacrificed yourself like this."

"If you hadn't dialed the wrong number and had a child with that fifty-year-old Fu Junsheng, even if Mom recovered from her illness, she would live with guilt for the rest of her life."

"But I made a mistake and read 6 as 8. It's fate that I was destined to reunite with Ashen in such a dramatic way!" Mu Tiantian exclaimed.

"This is what they mean by 'marriage is all about fate,'" Ah Nan joked as he parked his car and caught up with the two.

Mu Tiantian thought of the little girl by the sea and, following the conversation, asked Anan, "Anan, have you ever thought about your own marriage?"

Anan was taken aback by the question.

The image of the little girl flashed through his mind, especially her big, watery eyes, and that expectant look in them, which made him feel guilty.

Mu Tiantian couldn't see through Anan's thoughts, so she asked directly, "Anan, bodyguard, do you like that girl by the beach?"

Anan neither denied it nor admitted it on the spot, saying, "She looks too young, while I'm thirty-one."

"Age is not a problem. Aren't your boss and I the best examples?" Mu Tiantian said what she really meant.

"Maybe that young girl just likes older men? As long as you treat her well and don't let her down, if you both like each other, you can give each other a chance."

Jiang Hui chimed in, "Yes, as long as both people are good people and like each other, nothing else matters."

Anan lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Mu Tiantian and Jiang Hui exchanged a glance.

The two felt it was best not to talk about this too much, as it would annoy people and be seen as meddling.

"Anan, being alone is too lonely. Your boss certainly doesn't want you to be a bachelor for the rest of your life. While you're still young, go and love if you want to. Don't wait until you're older to want to love, because then you won't have the energy or the will. After my misunderstanding with your boss, I thought about cruelly forgetting him, but with the encouragement of Jiang Hui and Qiu Yi, I bravely went to find your boss. I'm so glad I made that decision..."

Mu Tiantian recalled the scene and felt it was magical, and she was proud of herself.

Sometimes, a single decision can affect the lives of two people.

Many couples who love each other separate for various reasons.

Sometimes it might be because of a harsh word, a small thing, or a small misunderstanding that wasn't cleared up.

Once we part ways, we'll never see each other again.

His entire life was filled with regrets.

She doesn't want this outcome.

She squeezed Jiang Hui's hand, "Mom, it's so good that you understand me. You could tell I was unhappy, and you comforted me like that."

Jiang Hui recalled Mu Tiantian's unhappy expression at the time and joked, "You were like a lost soul back then, Mom could tell right away."

Mu Tiantian rolled her eyes playfully. "That was the first time I liked someone. The more I tried to restrain myself, the less I could control my feelings. You have no idea how sad I was when I found out that Fu Zhengting had blocked me. I felt like the sky had fallen."

"Especially at that time, I was repeatedly misunderstood by Fu Zhengting, and Wen Kerou even took the drunk Fu Zhengting away. Just thinking about what might happen between Fu Zhengting and Wen Kerou made me completely lose my composure..."

Even now, talking about it still makes her feel a little sad.

"This is what it's like to love someone—it makes you happy and it makes you sad," Jiang Hui advised, speaking from experience.

Anan listened silently from the side.

He also wanted to experience the bittersweetness of love.

Mu Tiantian's words just now moved him.

"Our Tian Tian used to say that no man is any good, and she swore she would never get married. But when she met the one destined for her, all those thoughts became irrelevant. She was proven wrong." Jiang Hui seemed to be talking about Mu Tian Tian, ​​but she was actually giving A Nan a hint.
