Stealing Your Heart

“I won’t pursue this matter, but you should have a chat with her. As for you, just like I’ve said before, you should go study so you can help me out at the company after you graduate.”

He had missed out on a lot of important things because he refused to let go of certain elements of his past. He didn’t want to repeat this mistake in the future.

Jiang Youqian pressed his lips together. He was deeply moved by Jiang Mohan’s words.

He didn’t speak because he was at a loss on how to respond to this generosity.

After taking some time to recollect himself, he finally said, “Thank you.”

He wanted to say many things but didn’t know how to put them into words, so he could only use these two simple words to convey his deepest and most heartfelt gratitude.

Jiang Mohan, however, didn’t respond. He had a vacant and unfocused look in his eyes.

They walked together for quite some time. Although not much was said, both of them did a lot of thinking.

After sending Jiang Mohan back, Jiang Youqian returned home.

Qiu Mingyan was fine. She was neither interrogated nor apprehended.

Jiang Youqian ordered some food as he didn’t know how to cook, and presented the dishes on the table.

“You’re still in the mood to eat?” Qiu Mingyan snapped. If we seized the opportunity well today, we wouldn’t have walked away empty-handed.

Jiang Youqian pretended not to hear her and brought Jiang Jun over to the table.

“Jiang Youqian!” Qiu Mingyan spluttered, “I’m talking to you! For all we know, we could be arrested tomorrow.”

She was well aware of what she had done, and she certainly didn’t think that Jiang Mohan would spare her.

All of a sudden, Jiang Youqian roared, “If you were going to be arrested, it would have been done long ago.”

Mingyan asked, “What do
