Chapter 5 Confrontation!
Su Mengxue's expectant voice echoed in the empty room, but no one answered after she called out, and the flame that had just ignited in her heart was instantly extinguished.
She lowered her head and looked at the simple house in a daze. Her design draft, the large flat filled with luxury goods, the newly purchased convertible sports car, and Cheng Yang who was pursuing her relentlessly, all flashed through her mind.
She thought about a lot of things, but she didn't think about her parents.
Her parents divorced when she was young. She witnessed their love, their falling out, and then their re-established families and having more children. She was left as a completely helpless "orphan".
So she never had any expectations for love. She knew in her heart that even if they knew she had died in a car accident, they wouldn't necessarily be sad. She suddenly felt that staying here was far more reassuring than returning to that cold world.
Just as she was sighing inwardly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the whole room lit up instantly.
Su Mengxue subconsciously looked outside the door and was stunned for a moment.
Gu Yunting was standing tall beside the door frame, his white shirt tied tightly, highlighting his broad shoulders and tight waist. His military trousers were tucked into shiny black leather boots, outlining his long legs in a neat and sharp manner.
The man in front of me is indeed too dazzling. No wonder the book calls him the dream lover of all unmarried women in Jiangbei!
"I will go to the army to file a marriage report tomorrow, and after I get my leave, I will take you back to the Su family to propose marriage!"
Gu Yunting's deep voice broke through the stagnant air. Su Mengxue then realized that she had been staring at him for a long time. When she realized what was happening, her brows furrowed. "Gu Yunting, are you really planning to marry me?"
"I've said before, I will take responsibility for what I do." Gu Yunting's eyes were filled with a firmness that left no room for questioning.
Su Mengxue saw that his tone and expression seemed to be discussing not marriage with her, but signing a combat order. She didn't expect that he, who seemed quite smart, could be so stubborn.
She walked a few steps towards Gu Yunting and deliberately slowed down her tone. "Gu Yunting, you shouldn't be so conservative at your age. I've already told you that you don't need to be responsible. Besides, a marriage without love is the greatest irresponsibility to both parties."
Su Mengxue was in a hurry to convince him and didn't realize that the two of them were too close.
Gu Yunting glanced at Su Mengxue and inadvertently saw the faint teeth marks on her neck. That was when the two of them were rolling together, and she grabbed his back hard in excitement. He bit it there as a punishment because of the pain.
Thinking of this, the scenes just now suddenly came to his mind like a tide. The warm touch and rapid breathing rolled and stirred repeatedly in his mind, and his face soon turned red.
Su Mengxue noticed that something was wrong with him. She looked down at the ambiguous marks on her neck in the direction he was looking, and instantly guessed what he was thinking.
She rolled her eyes at Gu Yunting. All men were the same, thinking only of the same things. She pulled up her collar and coughed heavily.
Gu Yunting finally came to his senses. He looked away awkwardly. After a few seconds of silence, he said calmly, "Emotions can be cultivated."
Su Mengxue knew that what she had just said was in vain. She had inexplicably traveled to this era of material scarcity, was drugged at the beginning, and now had to deal with this stubborn man like a block of wood. It was really annoying.
She quickly came up with an excuse: "Gu Yunting, I don't think we're compatible in that area. You don't quite satisfy me."
Su Mengxue knew clearly that saying a man was not good in that aspect was like slapping him in the face in public.
As she expected, Gu Yunting fell silent, and the expression on his face became increasingly ugly.
Su Mengxue's eyes swept across his tense jawline, and a sense of pleasure gradually emerged in her heart.
When Gu Yunting walked in, she had already made up her mind. If the two of them didn't get married, a traditional man like Gu Yunting would definitely feel that he owed her. She could take this opportunity to ask him for some money as a start-up fund.
But this was a matter of mutual consent. She didn't want to put herself in the position of a victim and ask him for compensation. When she made money in the future, she would definitely return the money to him.
"I didn't have experience before." Gu Yunting looked up at her: "I will work hard in the future."
Su Mengxue was stunned. She didn't expect that Gu Yunting was not angry but also said these to her. This man was really stubborn.
She raised her chin, and deliberately raised the corners of her eyes in a contemptuous arc: "Gu Yunting, some things cannot be achieved by hard work..."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Yunting clasped her slender wrist with his hot palm: "As long as you can bear it, after we get married, we can practice and learn every day."
Practice learning every day?
Although Su Mengxue is a modern person with non-conservative ideas, she has never been in love until she was 28 years old.
A tall, handsome man full of hormones was so close to her that she could clearly feel the warmth of his palm through her skin and smell the refreshing scent of soapberries on his body. Moreover, he was talking to her about this issue seriously, and her ears instantly felt hot.
She looked up at him, and even her rebuttal turned into a stutter: "Gu Yunting...you hurt me!"
Gu Yunting suddenly let go of her hand and took a few steps back.
His eyes darkened and he changed the subject: "Besides this issue, if you have any other concerns, please share them with us."
After Su Mengxue thought about it again and again, she said, "Also, you are six years older than me. You are too old. I like younger people."
After she finished speaking, she felt that this was a really good reason. Even if the problem she just raised could be solved, age could not be changed.
She glanced at Gu Yunting out of the corner of her eye, and the expression on his face was indeed darker than the bottom of a pot.
She suddenly realized that Gu Yunting also had his strengths, that is, no matter how excessive her words were, he would not take a high-handed attitude to retort her. After all, the original owner's family background and education were completely different from his. Compared with her, Gu Yunting had more capital to despise her.
"I'm six years older than you, that's an undeniable fact, but I'm only 28, not very old. I've been exercising regularly in the army, so my physical fitness is pretty good."
Seeing that this reason didn't work, Su Mengxue bit her lower lip and quickly thought of a new one.
She sighed in feigned helplessness, "I'm sure someone like you will often live in the army after getting married. You know I just offended your eldest brother and his wife. I'm afraid they'll give me trouble if we live under the same roof. You're not at home, and I don't want to be bullied just by marrying in."
"After I get married, as long as the army doesn't have any additional missions, I will come back to live here. As for my eldest brother and sister-in-law you mentioned, I saw the way you confronted them just now. You don't look like someone who would suffer any loss."
Su Mengxue: “…”
"Even if I'm not at home, you can tell Dad if you have any problems. If you've really been wronged, he'll seek justice for you."
"Dad?" Su Mengxue looked at the tense yet serious expression on Gu Yunting's face and realized that this stubborn man in front of her no longer treated her as an outsider. He was determined to marry her.
She was worried now. Wouldn't the entrepreneurial fund she had planned be wasted?
How can this be possible...
In order to make Gu Yunting change his mind, she added with a pout, "Gu Yunting, I already have someone else in my heart. I will never like you even if I die. Even so, you still insist on marrying me?"
