Chapter 2296 - As Long as I Can Protect You
"Luoli." He reached out to caress her uninjured cheek. "Now, I'm afraid too. Even if the risk I'm taking is very small, I don't dare to take it anymore. I'd rather sacrifice something as long as it can protect you.
"To me, you and the child are the most important."
He had been preparing for this election for years.
He was determined to get that position.
Every man had his own ambitions. His ambition was to be in that position.
If he hadn't met Jiang Luoli.
If he wasn't married.
His ambition would definitely be realized.
But since God had changed his life trajectory, he had to let go of some things, whether he was willing to or not.
Which was more important?
Mo Shixiu used to think that his career was the most important.
He didn't even want to touch his feelings because he didn't want to waste time on meaningless things.
But now, there was something more important in his life.
More important than his ambition and future.
Mo Shixiu looked deep into Jiang Luoli's eyes and said gently, "I know what I'm doing. Although I'm not competing for that position, it doesn't mean that I'll have to retire early in the future.
"I've always wanted to do something, but if I get chosen, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to do it. Actually, this is good too. I can finally do what I want without worry." Mo Shixiu looked relaxed and happy as he said this.
He seemed really happy.
Jiang Luoli stared at him for a while.
She could tell that he was really in a good mood and wasn't faking it. She couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Seriously.
If Mo Shixiu was unwilling, Jiang Luoli would definitely feel pressured even if his actions touched her.
Because she felt that she'd be delaying his future.
She was afraid that Mo Shixiu would regret it one day and blame her for it.
"What do you want to do the most?" Jiang Luoli blinked curiously.
"Go to the Ministry of Justice and amend the law."
Jiang Luoli was shocked.
Mo Shixiu hadn't told her about this before.
He was interested in justice?
Mo Shixiu looked down at her expression and smiled. "Surprised?"
"Mm." Jiang Luoli nodded. "You've never told me that you're interested in justice."
"That's because you haven't asked. I'll tell you anything you want to know. Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Let's settle your wound first. Wait here for a while, I'll get the first-aid kit."
Jiang Luoli's face was still red and swollen.
Mo Shixiu quickly took the first-aid kit into the study. He took out the ointment to reduce swelling and inflammation, squeezed it on a cotton swab, and gently applied it on her injury.
His movements were very light as he was afraid of hurting her.
But even so, Jiang Luoli still trembled in pain.
Mo Shixiu's hand stiffened. She immediately felt a gloomy aura coming from him, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Jiang Luoli was speechless.
