Ning Qiluo had a sudden inspiration and took a step forward to rush out.
But this impulsive prediction couldn't stop him; he had only taken two steps when the door was slammed shut.
'Bang-'
Immediately afterwards, the electronic lock beeped.
Su Muyu withdrew his hand, a faint smile on his face, and looked at Ning Qiluo: "It's windy outside, I don't want you to go out, I'm worried you'll catch a cold."
Even their deceptive language sounds so appealing.
Ning Qiluo had nothing to say and turned back to sit on the sofa.
After sitting down, her protruding belly was quite noticeable. When she saw Su Muyu staring at her belly, Ning Qiluo covered it with her hand.
Feeling that blocking wasn't enough, Ning Qiluo bent her knees and hugged herself with both arms.
Because of her protruding belly, she couldn't rest her chin on her knees, so she could only look at Su Muyu and try to speak to him in a calm and peaceful tone: "Given our friendship, I didn't expect you to make such a big fuss about catching up with me. It's too much trouble. You could have just said so."
"You think I haven't contacted you, Qi Luo?"
Su Muyu walked towards her, his voice seemingly tinged with annoyance: "But Jiang Yingchi is keeping a close eye on you, and you don't want to see me."
When Ning Qiluo saw him coming, she felt inexplicably scared.
I'd never felt this way before, probably because she's pregnant, which has made her vulnerable. She's not afraid of anything happening to herself, but she's afraid of something happening to the baby in her belly.
"Qi Luo, you seem to be afraid of me."
Brother, it seems like you should remove it!
Su Muyu noticed Ning Qiluo's fear.
But she tried her best to appear calm: "What am I afraid of? You're not some monster. We've been friends for years. I'm not afraid of anyone but you. You won't hurt me."
These words were said intentionally to him.
Clearly, Su Muyu seemed more pleased after hearing this.
He sat down beside her, and Ning Qiluo immediately tensed up, adopting a state of constant defense.
Su Muyu saw through her words but didn't say anything. His tone was gentle: "You're right, and you must believe that I would never hurt you. Qi Luo, I really just wanted to catch up with you. Like you said, we've had such a long friendship, haven't we?"
Ning Qiluo took a bite and then nodded: "Mm."
Su Muyu turned to the side and put one hand on her shoulder.
The moment his hand touched her, Ning Qiluo's heart sank.
Su Muyu noticed it all and sighed, "We weren't like this before. You were very close to me and even called me brother."
"elder brother!"
Ning Qiluo immediately called him "brother".
Su Muyu stared at her in silence.
After a long silence, while Ning Qiluo was still confused and didn't know what he was trying to say, he slowly said, "I never wanted to be just your brother."
Ning Qiluo remained silent.
"Qi Luo, I want to discuss something with you, okay?" He leaned closer with a smile on his face.
Ning Qiluo felt that since there was something to discuss, the current situation was at least not bad.
He nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."
The next second, Su Muyu reached out with his other hand, placing both hands on her shoulders, his expression so serious: "Treat the time you spent with him as the past, and treat me as your future. Will you live with me? Qi Luo, I will give you everything, and I will do everything I can to take good care of you."
As he finished speaking...
Ning Qiluo's eyes widened.
