Chapter 123 Marry Me
Xiao Xuanjin's face was gloomy, and he didn't respond. "You should worry about yourself."
"What's wrong with me?"
"That's the second young lady of the Su family, are you sure?"
Meng Yuncheng's expression froze. "Rabbit... seemed angry just now and ignored me."
"You're exposing yourself so quickly, there's no way she'll even bother with you."
"You can't blame me for that. I couldn't stand seeing those things stuck on my handsome face."
Xiao Xuanjin left a message, "May you wish me the best."
After saying that, the driver started the car, and Meng Yuncheng could only watch the car quickly disappear from his sight.
…
The next day, Su Mi got up early to go to work.
When I arrived at the company, I heard the secretary say, "Manager Su, there is a gentleman waiting for you in your office."
Su Mi is just a project manager now. Her father told her to gain more experience, and she is willing to accept it.
When she opened the door of her office, she saw Gu Mucheng sitting on the sofa in the reception room. He was wearing a blue suit today and looked very formal and solemn. He was waiting for her.
"Brother Mu Qing, why are you here?"
"Come and see you, Qingqing. I haven't asked you yet, are you used to being in the company?"
Gu Mucheng raised his eyes to look at her. She was wearing a white women's suit today, and her slightly curly long hair was casually tied into a low ponytail. She looked both capable and intellectual.
Su Mi leaned against her desk, looking at him casually, "It's okay, everything is fine."
"That's good."
Su Mi asked casually, "Brother Mu Qing, I thought you would go abroad after attending the dinner."
"I probably won't leave for the time being."
"Why?"
Gu Muqing paused.
Su Mi noticed his hesitation, but was not in a hurry. She walked around the desk, sat down on the chair, turned on her computer as usual, and waited for his answer.
After a while, Gu Muqing finally spoke, "Qingqing, your uncle is choosing a marriage partner for you. Did you know about this?"
Su Mi stopped typing, "I know."
Then he continued to reply to emails, and it seemed that he didn't care that much.
Gu Muqing looked at her with amusement, "Qingqing, you must be the first one who doesn't care about your own marriage."
Su Mi sent the email before replying, "In a family like this, the options are limited. Considering the interests of the family, there are often no choices."
"How can there be no choice, my dear? What if I could choose?"
Having said that, Gu Mucheng stood up from the sofa, walked over step by step, supported himself on the desk, and stared at her stubbornly and eagerly.
Su Mi raised her eyes and looked at him calmly, "I don't take marriage seriously. My focus in the future will be on the company, and my energy is limited. So, in my opinion, choosing someone from a similar family background, with whom I can respect each other and live in peace, will be enough."
After hearing her words, Gu Mucheng felt even more that she really didn't care about him.
He curled his fingers slightly, and looked at her nervously and eagerly with his phoenix eyes. "Then will you marry me?"
Su Mi suddenly fell silent. For so many years, she had always regarded Gu Mucheng as her brother and her own relative, and never thought of anything else.
In her opinion, the relationship between them is beyond that of a man and a woman, because they are too familiar with each other, and staying at this stage is the best.
But at this moment, he suddenly asked her to marry him. Su Mi looked away, her fingers frozen on the keyboard, and she didn't respond for a while.
"Qingqing, don't get me wrong. Think about it carefully. If you marry me, I can promise to cherish you, take care of you, and protect you for the rest of my life, just like when we were little. Nothing will change. I will support you in whatever you want to do. If you want to focus on the company, I will accept that. I will not interfere with any of your decisions, nor will I let my family interfere with you. You are you, just like before marriage. Even if you want to go back to the Su Mansion, you can be home in a few minutes."
"Qingqing, think about it again. I'm definitely more reliable than those other men you have no feelings for. You know me well, and I understand your temperament. Our families know each other very well, so we're a perfect match. You won't even need to spend time and energy getting to know your husband or your in-laws after marriage. This will be incredibly worry-free and cost-effective for you."
Su Mi admitted that Gu Mucheng's words hit the nail on the head. What she wanted now was a marriage that would give her peace of mind, a partner and a family that didn't require her to worry about.
However, another voice in her heart told her that it was wrong to do so and she couldn't be so selfish.
"Brother Mu Qing, this is unfair to you."
"What's unfair about that?"
"You should choose a wife who loves you and you can have a loving marriage that will be a great success. You shouldn't ruin your marriage because of me."
Her words were also a hint that she didn't like him and didn't have any romantic feelings for him.
Gu Muqing's eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the darkness under his eyes. After a while, he smiled and corrected her words.
"Qingqing, what you said is very contradictory. Didn't you just say that we will all be influenced by our families in the end, and there aren't many options. If that's the case, why not choose someone you are familiar with and comfortable with in advance? That would be good for both of us, right?"
Su Mi shook his head. "Brother Mu Qing, that's not the way to calculate it. There are too many unknowns in life. I don't want to delay you. You still have a chance to meet true love, unlike me."
She has no expectations or hopes for her marriage partner, so she has no burden. After marriage, she can completely follow her own temperament.
But she couldn't use these on Gu Mucheng because she would feel pressured and guilty, and she didn't want to lose even the current relationship with him.
"My dear..."
He was about to say something, but Su Mi raised her hand to stop him. "I appreciate your kindness, but I can't agree to it."
…
When Gu Mucheng came out of the office, he stood against the wall for a long time.
When the secretary saw this, he kindly asked him what he needed, but he shook his head and sent the person away.
I just feel exhausted.
There was a voice in his head talking to him, "See, she won't agree to marry you."
"Why?" Gu Mucheng fell into deep self-doubt.
[I told you long ago, but you just refused to give up and kept trying.]
“I’ve tried so hard.”
[No way, you're not her first choice.]
"I won't give up."
[You, just follow my instructions. Don't worry, she will nod her head someday. You're just being too impatient.]
"But you want me to watch her marry that man? I won't accept that!"
[Isn't this something you already know? Why take it so seriously?]
"How long exactly is the deadline you're talking about?"
[That depends on whether you listen to my arrangements or not.]
Hearing this, Gu Mucheng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had regained his composure.
He looked up at the gold-plated manager's number plate above the office again, then turned and left.
