Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Lei pursed his lips. After being with her for such a long time, he could sense her little emotional fluctuations, but since she didn't say anything, he didn't have to ask.

When she wants to talk to him, she will speak naturally.

"Be good." Nadel stood at the door of the ward, panting. When he saw her, he looked up and smiled at her, holding a bag in his hand.

"Hanazawa Lei, Simon, my brother is looking for you two. He's waiting for you in the garden." This was the second sentence she wanted to say.

When he heard what she said, Lei looked at Shanlai lying on the hospital bed and said, "I'll be back soon. You just wait for me here." He reached out and scratched her little nose.

Shan Lai nodded obediently, "Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Lei and Simon went out, and they were the only two left in the ward.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Shanlai raised his eyebrows at Nadel.

"Hehe, I can't hide it from you."

……

Simon and Lei walked all the way to the garden. Kassell was leaning against the pillar of the pavilion with his arms folded across his chest. When he saw them coming, he looked at Simon with an inquiring look.

"Kassell." Lei spoke first.

Looking at the way they were acting, one could tell that they must have made arrangements in advance to discuss something here. Ximen was very tactful and left first, saying, "It's only the third day of my marriage and I have a lovely wife at home."

Lei put one hand in his pocket and walked up to Kassell and sat down on the bench next to him.

Kassell maintained that posture, and when he saw Lei sit down, he didn't say much, but just raised his head slightly.

"I know what happened yesterday." These were the first words he said.

"I took action to deal with Huo Ting and made him unable to hold his head up in your circle."

"I didn't know what the situation was like in your circle in Country K, so I did this. Don't blame me for acting on my own initiative. I'm sorry." He wanted to say this sincerely. His actions might bring immeasurable consequences to Hanazawa Rui.

Lei smiled slightly and said, "It's me who should thank you."

Kassell was obviously surprised. Hanazawa Rui's nonchalant reaction was beyond his expectations. He originally thought that Hanazawa Rui would ask her why she did that.

"I know you are doing this for Shanlai." Lei looked up at Kassell's blue eyes, which seemed to be without any emotion. At this moment, he couldn't tell what the owner of these eyes was thinking.

"Yes, I did it for her." Kassell's voice slowly lowered, and he suddenly realized that the man in front of him seemed to have obtained a marriage certificate with her. He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and continued, "I met her in Country M, and then I fell in love with her. Do you want to listen?"

Kassell knew that Shanlai would definitely tell him, but before that, he, as an insider, should explain everything to him, so that if something went wrong, Huaze Lei would not misunderstand her again.

From a selfish point of view, he hoped that Shanlai would not talk about the happy time they spent together in Country M, so that if something unexpected happened in the future, perhaps he could have her again.

But morally speaking, he shouldn't do this. Since this is her choice, he has an obligation to help her eliminate this potential threat and not let people with ulterior motives destroy their relationship.

"Okay." Lei answered decisively.

Kassell curled his lips and smiled, and began to talk about the days when he and Shanlai met and got to know each other in Country M.

"The story all started when Nadel ran away willfully and was caught by his enemies."

"Nadel has been fearless and rebellious since she was young. She always thinks she can solve everything on her own." Kassell smiled helplessly.

Lei frowned and listened to him from the side.

"At that time, the Ferdru family had just emerged in Country M. They had annexed some small forces and were in the process of reorganizing the family. It also happened to be the time when Country M was in the presidential election. The situation was turbulent, and she often sneaked out to play by herself."

"The merger of the H Gang is different from the merger of two groups in the business world. The merger of groups is nothing more than a matter of financial resources and connections, but they are real swords and guns, and they will not stop until bloodshed. There were still a few people left in some small forces that refused to obey Ferdru and were dispersed by them. That was when they arrested Nadel."

When he said this, Kassell closed his eyes slightly, as if he didn't want to recall that time.

After a two-minute pause, he continued, "At that time, they took Nadel to the amusement park, thinking that they would bring Nadel to negotiate with me later. There were a lot of people there, and they were sure that we wouldn't dare to send our men in to arrest people. Shan Lai happened to pass by there, and recognized that Nadel was a senior from the same school as her, so she took a marshmallow and handed it to her."

"The men who captured her didn't want to attract too much attention, so they loosened the rope on Nadel's hand and let her catch it. It was during this gap that Nadel pulled her and ran away while the men were not paying attention. In the panic, she took the knife for Nadel." Kassell's voice gradually became low, and it was obvious that he didn't want to mention the past.

"She had been lying in bed for a month. Those men were all adults. They intended to kill her with the knife, right on her waist. If it had been a little further away, she would have been dead."

Kassell suddenly laughed, "Actually, what I was thinking at that time was how a weak little girl could have the courage to hand marshmallows to Nadel without knowing anything about it."

"Nadel is well-known for her bad temper at school. She would kick anyone she disliked. Because of our family relationship, no one dared to offend her. No one dared to disobey her."

"Later, she was almost well. I took Nadel to see her. The little girl was lying quietly on the bed. She told the nurse next to her in a baby voice that she didn't want to eat oranges but apples. She was very small and had a little baby fat on her face. When she frowned, it didn't seem like she was angry but rather like she was being spoiled."

When Kassell said this, the emotion in his eyes was unclear, but the smile on the corner of his lips never disappeared.

"Because she saved Nadel and she was so cute, she caught my eye right away."

"I was thirteen at the time, the age when I first fell in love. I met her at the beginning of my love. Maybe it was fate. From the moment I saw her, I didn't think other girls were that pretty anymore."

"When I see a girl her age, all I can think of is her."
