"What?" Qin Jinhuan's seriousness made Mu Yu feel a little uneasy.
"Why don't you go back with Jiang Wenwen?"
Mu Yu was confused: "Ah? Why do you ask that?"
"Jiang Wenwen, it's your parents who called you here to tell you to go home."
"No! Well, it was my parents who called Wenwen here, but my parents didn't let her call me home. They just asked her to come and see us. My phone was out of battery and turned off automatically. They couldn't contact them. I."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah! My phone is really out of battery, look."
"I'm not questioning this," Qin Jinhuan stopped her from taking out her phone and smiled lightly, "You don't have to cover up for your parents. What they did is right. You should go back with them."
"They really didn't ask me to go home! They also specifically told me to take good care of you. You see, they sent this check just to help you tide over the current difficulties." Mu Yu handed over the 20 million The check was presented to him.
Qin Jinhuan took the check and smiled playfully: "This is my betrothal gift, give it back to me."
Although her thoughts were the same as his when she first saw the check, Mu Yu still defended her parents: "You misunderstood, they didn't mean that, they just wanted to..."
"You insist on staying to take care of me, is it because you feel guilty for me? I have said many times that this matter has nothing to do with you. There is no need for you to take the responsibility on yourself. I will ask Ze Yu to send you back."
"No!" Mu Yu quickly grabbed his hand that was about to ring the bedside bell, "I won't leave! I won't go back!"
"Mu Yu!"
"I am your wife! You are sick, and it is unjustifiable for me not to take care of you, both emotionally and rationally!"
"We are just a contractual couple, you have no obligation to take care of me. We will go through the divorce procedures at dawn."
"No! I don't agree to divorce! No divorce!"
"I am no longer the eldest son of the Qin family. My current situation is very difficult and the future is unknown. I may one day be so poor that I end up on the streets begging for a living. It is impossible to give you the comfortable life of the young mistress of the Qin family. There is no point in following me. It is better to leave as soon as possible to avoid being implicated in the future. "
"I don't care about the fame of the young mistress of the Qin family, and I'm not afraid of being implicated. I just want to be with you." Feeling that there was pessimism in Qin Jinhuan's words, Mu Yu hurriedly advised, "Don't be too pessimistic, we have You have both hands and feet, and as long as you work hard, you won’t end up living on the streets!”
"Why?"
"ah?"
"Why do you have to be with me?"
"Uh... because... that..." Mu Yu blushed and lowered his head, stammering for a long time without saying anything.
Qin Jinhuan stroked her shoulders and ordered her to raise her eyes and look directly into his eyes: "Give me a reasonable reason."
"I..." Not daring to face his deep eyes, Mu Yu bit her lip and let her eyes wander. After a long while, she finally said, "I just want to be with you."
Qin Jinhuan stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly let go and said, "I don't want to be with you, you can leave." Then he turned away, obviously dissatisfied with the reason she gave.
Mu Yu leaned against the back of the bed in frustration and muttered as if he was choking for air: "I won't leave! I won't leave!"
At this time, Qin Jinhuan turned around suddenly.
Seeing the gloomy expression on his face, she was startled. When she straightened up, she instinctively moved to the bed, telling him with practical actions that she would not leave.
Qin Jinhuan suddenly laughed and teased: "You refuse to leave or get a divorce. Do you think you have fallen in love with me?"
After his thoughts were revealed, Mu Yu suddenly panicked. Not only did his face turn red to his neck, but his heart barely jumped out of his throat.
However, when she finally made up her mind and wanted to nod her head to admit it, Qin Jinhuan smiled bitterly as if he was mocking himself: "I'm so down and out, you can't possibly like me."
"Why isn't it possible?"
"People are very realistic."
"But not everyone is realistic!"
Qin Jinhuan smiled disdainfully and did not answer.
"At least I'm not a very realistic person."
"Really?" Qin Jinhuan laughed again, "Are you trying to tell me that you like me who is down and out in front of you?"
Feeling the distrust and ridicule in his eyes, Mu Yu felt a little sad. She bit her lip and lowered her head in silence for a while. Then she mustered up the courage to look up at him and said, "I do like you. I don't want to get divorced or leave." It’s because I like you, it doesn’t matter whether you are down or not, or whether you are the eldest young master of the Qin family, I just like you!”
Perhaps he didn't expect her to be so direct. Qin Jinhuan's face stiffened, he stopped laughing, turned a serious expression and asked, "What do you like about me?"
"This, I, I can't say, anyway, I just like it." Mu Yu stuttered again, but she was telling the truth.
"You used to like Xin Yihan."
"This is different!" When old accounts were revealed and she knew that he still had misunderstandings about this, she immediately became anxious, "I like Brother Yihan, and I still like him now, but my love for him and my love for you are completely different. It’s different! I admire him, admire him, and rely on him. I like the feeling of being pampered by him as his little sister. It’s actually a brother-sister relationship. Of course, I always misunderstood that my feelings for Brother Yihan were between a man and a woman. , I didn’t realize that it was an illusion until I was with you! My love for you is the true love between a man and a woman!”
"Really?" Qin Jinhuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't I feel any love for you, but instead think you hate me?"
"That's because you always like to tease me! You also find every opportunity to eat other people's tofu." Mu Yu looked a little aggrieved.
"You mean, you got used to this tofu and fell in love with me?"
"I... eh!" Mu Yu didn't know how to answer this for a moment, and felt that his confession was a failure.
Her depressed look amused Qin Jinhuan. He suddenly hooked her chin with his index finger, approached her with a smile on his face, and joked: "It turns out that love starts with teasing and eating tofu."
"No!" Mu Yu put aside his hand in embarrassment, "I mean... to say... tsk!"
Seeing that she was taking a bite again, Qin Jinhuan couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "Tell me again, why do you want to be with me?"
Knowing that he was deliberately teasing her again, Mu Yu felt a little shy: "Didn't I just say that?"
"I have a bad memory and forgot how you answered me just now."
"You! Why are you like this?"
"Say it, I'm waiting to hear it." Qin Jinhuan crossed his arms and smiled, waiting for her next words.
Damn that guy!
No matter, I have already said it once, there is nothing to be ashamed of!
Although he thought so in his heart, Mu Yu's words sounded like he was angry: "Because I like you!"
"So fierce? It's too scary! I still don't want you to like it, just leave." Qin Jinhuan looked like he was trembling in fear.
Mu Yu was very annoyed and glared: "What's wrong with me?"
"You said you're not serious? You're scaring the baby to death." Qin Jinhuan quickly turned his face away, "dare not" to look into her eyes, slapped her chest with one hand, and drove her away with the other, "Come on, hurry up, I don't want you to stay here."
"Hey! Stop making trouble, okay?!" She didn't expect that at this time, he would still have time to joke. Mu Yu couldn't bear it. Seeing that his hand was still waving, she couldn't get angry, so she slapped him over and shouted, " That's enough! If you dare to tell me to leave, do you believe that I will kick you under the bed?"
Qin Jinhuan immediately surrendered: "Isn't it okay if I don't say it?"
It was rare to see him look so cute. Mu Yu couldn't hold it back for a moment and laughed out loud, but soon she sighed helplessly: "I didn't expect you would also enjoy hardships."
Qin Jinhuan caressed her face and said with a smile: "Appropriate joy in suffering can change your mood. People can be defeated by others, but they can never be defeated by themselves."
Mu Yu, who had been worried about Qin Jinhuan because of Xin Yihan's words before, immediately felt relieved when he heard these words and nodded in agreement.
She knew he wasn't someone who got depressed so easily.
Of course, for her, his change at this moment was still a bit fast.
After all, he is a person who has seen the big world. She thought so again.
"Really like me?"
"Yes!" Mu Yu's hand covered his hand that was still on her cheek, and she nodded solemnly.
"Have you made up your mind to share the joys and sorrows with me?"
"Yes!"
"You may have a very hard life with me in the future. Are you sure you won't regret it?"
Mu Yu straightened her chest and expressed her position word by word: "I don't regret it!"
I thought that the next moment he would be like the plot in a romantic TV series, and he would be so excited that he would hold her in his arms. Unexpectedly, he quickly withdrew his hand in the next second, and said with an expressionless face when he spoke again: "You have been there from the beginning to the end. You haven’t asked me if I like you or if I want to be with you.”
The sudden twist in the plot made Mu Yu's boiling heart instantly cool down. She was dumbfounded and looked at him weakly, unable to find the courage to ask his question in return.
"Emotions must be two-way. One-sided feelings cannot support the backbone of a marriage."
Mu Yu seemed to feel something, biting her lip and stuttering, "Do you dislike me as a person, or do you mind what happened in West Bay that day?"
"You can't be blamed for what happened in West Bay. You are just a victim who was implicated by me."
"Then you mean you don't like me as a person?" Mu Yu suddenly became extremely frustrated.
If he liked her but only cared about what happened that day in West Bay, she felt that she still had some hope. After all, she had always had doubts about what happened that day.
But if he doesn't call her as a person, then...
"I can't say whether I like you or not, because I haven't paid attention to what kind of person you are at all. Alternatively, you can tell me your advantages and let me consider how suitable we are."
Although his first sentence made Mu Yu a little disappointed, his last sentence ignited some hope in her. Her mind started to work quickly. After brewing for a while, she said shamelessly: "I am knowledgeable, sensible, considerate, gentle and virtuous." , hard-working and kind-hearted, thrifty and house-keeping, hard-working, smart and capable, independent..."
"Ha ha ha ha… "
Qin Jinhuan's burst of laughter made Mu Yu's guilty boast come to an abrupt end. Seeing him laughing and pointing at the door of the ward, she understood that he was gesturing for her to leave. Knowing that she was being rejected, her eyes suddenly dimmed, feeling aggrieved and ashamed. Tears of shame instantly filled his eyes.
It turned out that he had no feelings for her at all.
Sad and helpless, she silently got out of bed and walked to the door.
