Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Is this Considered a Reward?

Chen Xuan could naturally sense Han Jingting’s feelings at the time, so he didn’t say anything more and turned to leave the ward.

Watching Chen Xuan leave after being scolded by Han Jingting, Ding Lijuan’s heart swelled with pride.

She felt as if she were holding the Imperial Sword in her hand—just a word from her, and everyone would have to listen.

Even Han Jingting, her daughter who once dared to talk back to her, was now completely obedient to her.

This feeling greatly satisfied Ding Lijuan, and she even felt some regret now. If she had known earlier that Ding Liang’s method was so effective, she would have used it sooner!

After calming Ding Lijuan down, this time it was Han Jingting who stepped out of the ward.

In the corridor, she saw Chen Xuan leaning against a window, staring outside alone.

"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that just now..."

Han Jingting approached Chen Xuan and took the initiative to apologize.

In fact, Han Jingting had also been worried that Chen Xuan’s words would once again upset her mother. She had been too impatient, and that’s why she had said what she did. Now that she had calmed down, she was filled with regret.

But Chen Xuan just smiled faintly, "It’s okay, you don’t need to apologize."

Chen Xuan understood Han Jingting’s feelings very well. She was a filial daughter—that much was clear.

Chen Xuan then said, "However, there is something I want to tell you."

"What?" Han Jingting was curious.

Chen Xuan then shared his suspicion that Ding Lijuan was pretending to commit suicide to garner sympathy.

Upon hearing Chen Xuan’s account, Han Jingting was shocked, "What are you saying? Pretending? That... that’s impossible..."

Chen Xuan spoke bluntly, "The doctor who treated your mother earlier is a friend of mine; I believe he couldn’t be wrong."

"I... I don’t believe it. Just to get money from me, would she go to such lengths?" Han Jingting found it all hard to believe.

Chen Xuan gave a wry smile, "You certainly wouldn’t do such a thing, but you know what our mom is like..."

Ding Lijuan was status-seeking and greedy; upon reflection, it wouldn’t be surprising if she did something outrageous.

"How could she do such a thing! I’m going to confront her about it right now!"

Han Jingting was always straightforward and couldn’t stand deceit.

Now, learning that her mother had been deceitful and dangerous, she was enraged and immediately wanted to confront her.

However, before Han Jingting could take a step, she was stopped by Chen Xuan.

"Jingting, asking her like this, you’ll never get the truth. Even if mom did feign suicide, do you think she would admit it?"

Han Jingting paused.

She knew Chen Xuan was right; without evidence, if she went to accuse her now, her mother wouldn’t only deny it, she would surely scold her as well, and even accuse her of being unfilial.

Then, a situation where she originally had the moral high ground would become indefensible.

"How can my mom be like this! Do we just let it go?!" Han Jingting felt dissatisfied.

Chen Xuan appeared contemplative, "Jingting, actually, I think we really don’t need to fall out with mom right now."

Han Jingting was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Chen Xuan sighed and opened up to Han Jingting, "Jingting, do you know? All these years, I’ve always hoped to live a normal family life with you and our parents."

"Now that our relationship has finally started to improve, I truly feel very content."

"You also know that since our marriage, my parents’ attitude towards me has always been very poor. To be honest, sometimes I think that without them causing trouble, our life might be happier."

"But just now, when I saw your look of despair upon learning of mom’s attempt to end her life, I realized I shouldn’t be so selfish."

"You’ve always been a dutiful daughter, sad and heartbroken over our parents’ health," Han Jingting said. "I don’t want you now to distance yourself from them because of me and later, if something really happens to them, live with regret in your heart!"

Chen Xuan seemed to realize his words were getting a bit too much, a bit messy. With a wry smile, he finally said, "In short, I just don’t want you to have regrets in the future, don’t want to see you sad..."

"Do you understand what I’m saying?"

Han Jingting, however, had already been stunned where she stood.

Of course, she understood.

This man was completely thinking from her perspective, from the perspective of a child for their parents!

These were things even Han Jingting herself had not considered, but Chen Xuan had thought of them all.

What did this mean?

It meant that he truly cared about her! Cared about everything to do with her!

This made Han Jingting feel an unparalleled wave of emotion in her heart!

"Thank you for thinking so much for me!"

As she spoke, without any warning, Han Jingting rose on her tiptoes, her delicate red lips landing a kiss directly onto Chen Xuan’s lips.

At this moment, Chen Xuan’s brain went blank!

Six years!

This was the first real kiss between Han Jingting and him!

The zero-distance contact between their skin, the woman’s breath sweet as orchids, the familiar scent of her perfume in between breaths.

All of it mixed together, the feeling was indescribably delightful, utterly intoxicating Chen Xuan.

After a moment, Han Jingting finally parted from Chen Xuan.

Her exquisite face was already covered with a rosy flush.

"Was that... a reward?" Chen Xuan scratched his head embarrassingly and asked.

Han Jingting nodded with feigned arrogance, "You could say that."

"Does that mean we can..." Chen Xuan was full of anticipation.

Han Jingting turned her back, "It depends on how you behave."

These words were like a shot of adrenaline, causing Chen Xuan’s blood to surge and his heartbeat to quicken.

He was one step closer to success!

"Alright, I’ll leave first if there’s nothing else."

Han Jingting said and was about to rush off.

But Chen Xuan suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "Actually, the reason I didn’t want you to give that twenty million to the parents wasn’t because I was stingy, but I feel that for them, twenty million is simply too much."

"Giving them so much money at once might not be a good thing for them."

Han Jingting realized the truth and deeply agreed.

She vividly remembered the incident with Meng Jinzhou and his twenty million.

After getting the twenty million last time, her parents didn’t cherish it at all and chose to squander it.

As a result, half of the twenty million was spent in just a few days, and in the end, they even had to sell their house to pay off the debt!

Thinking of this, Han Jingting immediately felt some regret.

If she had known, she shouldn’t have agreed to her mother’s request earlier!
