Chapter 102: Will You Marry Me?
Su Mengxue knew that she could no longer hide this matter, so she first put the jade pendant on her hand. After the wound on her hand healed quickly, she put the jade pendant back on her neck.
She looked at Gu Yunting, hesitated for a few moments, and said solemnly: "This matter is a bit unbelievable. Maybe you won't believe it after I tell you, but what I say..."
"I believe everything you say."
Before Su Mengxue finished speaking, Gu Yunting interrupted.
Su Mengxue looked at Gu Yunting, who was speaking sincerely, and a strange emotion flashed through her heart.
Originally, she didn't intend to tell anyone about the time travel because she herself felt it was too melodramatic, but Gu Yunting's words made her completely let down her guard.
After she heaved a long sigh, she told Gu Yunting face to face everything about her, including what happened before she traveled through time and the special powers she discovered on the jade pendant.
Gu Yunting listened carefully the entire time, even though he found many things unbelievable, even though he wanted to interrupt her countless times, he finally held back.
After Su Mengxue finished speaking, he looked at her with burning eyes and asked in a trembling voice, "You don't want to have children, and you don't want to marry me. Besides your family reasons, it's also because you want to return to modern society, right?"
Su Mengxue didn't hesitate at all and answered truthfully: "My career, my home and my friends are there. Of course I want to go back if I can."
When Gu Yunting heard this answer, his fingers unconsciously clenched tightly. Although he had expected this answer, he still asked without giving up. He thought, what if, what if she wanted to stay here.
He soon realized his stupidity. Su Mengxue had a good career and favorable living conditions in modern society, where everyone was equal and there was no gender discrimination. She lived a free and bright life. How could she be willing to stay in the 1980s when materials were scarce?
When he realized that what separated them was not just thousands of mountains and rivers, but an insurmountable period of time, he suddenly felt a deeper sense of powerlessness than ever before.
He used to think that Su Mengxue didn’t like her, but as long as he tried harder, maybe one day she would accept him. He thought that even if she really didn’t like him, or even if she would marry someone else in the future, as long as he could still see her, he would be satisfied.
But now Su Mengxue said that she was not from this era and she might leave at any time. If one day she really found a way to leave and returned to modern society, where could he find her?
Thinking of this, he froze in place, his heart feeling stuffy and bloated, and even trying to catch his breath was difficult.
Su Mengxue naturally noticed Gu Yunting's strangeness and knew why he was upset, but she didn't know how to persuade him. She could only pat his shoulder gently and said in a soft voice, "Gu Yunting, I don't belong to this generation, so we... However, I believe that you are so outstanding, you will meet the right person in the future."
Gu Yunting suddenly raised his head, staring at her intently, and asked seriously, "Su Mengxue, can you stay?"
He knew what Su Mengxue would say. After he finished speaking, he did not give Su Mengxue a chance to speak, but added very seriously:
"I know the conditions here are far inferior to those in modern society, but I am willing to do my best to create better conditions for you. I will also use all my connections to support your career. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, I can..."
"Gu Yunting, even if you can do all this, I'm already accustomed to the pace of life and the conveniences of modern society. How can you change that? Besides, all my work partners, friends, and family are not here. How can I possibly stay?"
Gu Yunting's heart sank. Yes, why should she stay here? What right did he have to ask her to stay?
Su Mengxue looked at Gu Yunting, who was gradually calming down, and persuaded him, "Gu Yunting, if you really like someone, you should respect and support her, instead of wishfully trying to restrict and change her. Otherwise, the person being liked will feel very tired."
Restraint? A dark light flashed in Gu Yunting's eyes. He stared at her and asked thoughtfully, "So, my love for you has caused you trouble, right?"
Su Mengxue looked at Gu Yunting's gradually softening voice and dull eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
She knew that there was no point in saying anything more, so she simply changed the subject: "Gu Yunting, they are still waiting for us, let's go out."
What Su Mengxue had just said was hard for him to accept. His mind was in a mess and he needed time to think clearly. He didn't look at Su Mengxue, but just whispered, "I want to be alone. You go back first."
Su Mengxue knew that he needed time to digest these words. She looked at him with concern and then opened the car door. Just as she was about to get out, Gu Yunting suddenly raised his head. He wanted to reach out and grab the corner of her clothes, but his fingertips froze in mid-air.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down before he asked, "Su Mengxue, if you were a person from this era, would you like me?"
Su Mengxue's eyelashes trembled. Just now, when Gu Yunting was pinned to the ground and beaten by Wang Min, she realized for the first time that the heart really could hurt. She had to admit that she was attracted to Gu Yunting.
But even so, she didn't look back. After a brief moment of hesitation, she said, "You are so outstanding, and you risked your life to save me. If I say that I am not moved by you, then I am too hard-hearted."
"What about you?" Gu Yunting's eyes flashed with anticipation. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Mengxue say, "Gu Yunting, it's just that we were born at the wrong time, so it's destined to be fruitless."
Gu Yunting pulled the corners of his mouth. There were many things he wanted to say, but all the words were stuck in his throat. He couldn't say anything. He could only say with red eyes: "Anyway, thank you for saying that."
Su Mengxue didn't want to stay here any longer and add to her sadness, nor did she want to be shaken by Gu Yunting's already firm heart, and she didn't want to have a relationship that would have no future. She hardened her heart and walked out quickly.
After she left, Gu Yunting laughed self-deprecatingly: "With her words, my life shouldn't be too difficult."
After Su Mengxue got off the car, she saw Jiang Weilong and the others standing at the door, as well as the little girl. Lu Yuanzhou was not beside him. She thought to herself that he must have gone to call the doctor.
As she walked towards them, Jiang Weilong walked up to her first and said to her, "I have a few words to say to you, come here!" After that, he walked away.
Su Mengxue felt that Jiang Weilong was really used to being a leader and had a lot of airs. She didn't want to go, but she was afraid that Jiang Weilong had something important to talk to her about. So she turned around and walked towards Jiang Weilong. Then she stopped two steps away from him and asked impatiently, "Jiang Weilong, what do you want from me?"
Jiang Weilong looked at her and blurted out, "Su Mengxue, how about you marry me?"
