Chapter 123 Marry Me

Xiao Xuanjin looked gloomy and didn't respond, "You should just 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 to be angry just now and ignored me."

"You're moving too fast, there's no way she'll pay any attention to 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 the best be to you."

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. Daddy 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 reception sofa. 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 working in the company?"

Gu Muqing raised his eyes and looked at her. She was wearing a white women's suit today, and her slightly curly long hair was casually tied up in a low ponytail. She looked both capable and intellectual.

Su Mi leaned against his desk, looking at him casually, "It's OK, everything is fine."

"That's good."

Su Mi asked casually, "Brother Mu Qing, I thought you would go abroad after attending the dinner."

“I won’t leave for now.”

"Why?"

Gu Muqing paused.

Su Mi noticed his hesitation, but was not in a hurry. He walked around the desk, sat down on the chair, turned on his computer as usual, and waited for his answer.

After a while, Gu Muqing spoke up, "Qingqing, your uncle is choosing a marriage partner for you. Did you know about this?"

Su Mi paused typing and said, "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 marriage."

After Su Mi sent the email, he replied, "In a family like this, the range of options is limited. Considering the interests of the family, in fact, many times, there is no choice."

"How can there be no choice, dear? What if I could choose?"

Having said this, Gu Muqing stood up from the sofa, walked towards her step by step, resting his hands on the desk, staring at her stubbornly and eagerly.

Su Mi raised her eyes and looked at him, very 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, it's enough to choose someone from a similar family background, treat each other with respect, and live in peace with each other."

After hearing her words, Gu Muqing felt even more that she really didn't care about him.

He bent his fingers slightly, and looked at her nervously and eagerly with his bright 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 relative and had never thought of anything else.

In her opinion, the relationship between them went beyond that between a man and a woman, because they were so familiar with each other, and it was best for them to stay at this stage.

But at this moment, he suddenly asked her to marry him. Su Mi looked away, her fingers froze on the keyboard, and she did not respond for a while.

"Qingqing, don't get me wrong. Think about it carefully. If you marry me, I can promise to take care of you, look after you, and protect you for the rest of your life, just like when you 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 go home in a few minutes."

"Qingqing, think about it again. I am definitely more reliable than those other men who have no feelings for you. You know me well, and I know your temperament. Our families know each other very well, so we are a perfect match. You don't even need to spend time and energy getting to know your husband and your in-laws after marriage. This is very 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 allow her to worry less, with a significant other and a family that she didn't need 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 you like, and have a loving marriage with her. 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? There aren't many options. If that's the case, why can't we choose someone we 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 their current relationship with him.

“My dear…”

He wanted to say something else, but Su Yu raised his hand to stop him, "I appreciate your kindness, but I can't agree to it."

…

When Gu Muqing 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 just shook his head and sent him 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 Muqing fell into deep self-doubt.

[I told you a long time ago, but you just kept trying.]

“I’ve tried so hard.”

[There's no way, who made you not her first choice. ]

"I won't give up."

[You, just follow my instructions. Don't worry, she will nod her head someday. You are just 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 is the deadline you mentioned?"

[That depends on whether you listen to my arrangements or not.]

Hearing this, Gu Muqing 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, then turned and left.
