Chapter 991: Chapter 991: Give Her Something to Rely On Chapter 991: Chapter 991: Give Her Something to Rely On After all, the entertainment industry is too chaotic, with few who are clean. She had left behind suspicions, wouldn’t he be doubtful?

Wen Jingheng shook his head without a second thought, “I don’t doubt it! I understand what kind of person you are. Even if you had a past, you are still a good girl.”

“I don’t have any,” Hai Lan earnestly explained. “I don’t have any bad past at all.”

“I know, I believe you!” Wen Jingheng’s tone was very firm, which made Hai Lan feel very grounded and secure.

Because he believed in her so firmly…

As long as she had his trust, she was no longer afraid of anything.

Hai Lan leaned in his embrace and smiled, “Jingheng, actually I am very thankful for the time you scolded me. At that time, I just started acting, and I didn’t understand anything; it was very easy to stray onto the wrong path. It just so happened you scolded me, and out of spite, but also to prove myself, I never indulged in any bad habits. Even later, when I had countless resources to choose from, I never dared to mess around. You don’t know how severe you were when you scolded me then; I was really scared by you.”

Wen Jingheng suddenly hugged her tightly, kissing her forehead affectionately, “Hai Lan, you are the best girl I’ve ever met! From now on, I will protect you. You don’t have to live guardedly. No matter what happens, I will always stand by your side to protect you.”

Hai Lan suddenly felt a sour nose, and a desire to cry welled up.

Everyone thought she was capable, as if she would never fall.

Her foster parents relied on her, her biological parents also depended on her.

Even Wei Zhijie never thought she needed someone to lean on, that she would also want to be cared for, not wanting to fight so hard.

She didn’t actually need to depend on someone for life, just needing someone who would always stand there, ready to give her reassurance to lean on was enough.

But they couldn’t do it, none had ever given her that sense of security.

Instead, Wen Jingheng, from her words, sensed her inner thoughts.

Her words clearly weren’t about these, yet he related it to this point… it was really moving.

This was enough to show that he really cared about her, which is why he thought of her past hardships and wanted to provide her with support out of sympathy.

What he didn’t know was how much warmth his words brought her.

She felt like a small boat adrift in the waves, and he was the guiding light in front beckoning her to shore.

At this moment, Hai Lan felt grateful that fate had given her a chance to be with him.

She would also cherish this opportunity and live happily for the rest of her life.

Thinking of all this, Hai Lan couldn’t help but hug Wen Jingheng tightly, whispering, “Wen Jingheng, thank you.”

Wen Jingheng was slightly startled, feeling her initiative and attachment. His lips curved into a gentle arc, and his arms held her even tighter…

Their hearts, on that night, drew much closer.

********************
The next day, Wen Jingheng announced to his family that he was going to marry Hai Lan.

His father and mother had no objections and highly approved of them marrying early.

Wen Jingheng was not young and was very decisive and insightful.

They believed that the woman he loved would surely be excellent, so they certainly wouldn’t object to anything.

Still, before they married, the two families should first have a meal together.

Wen Jingheng and Hai Lan decided to first return to C City, and his parents would join them in a couple of days.
