Chapter 740: Heartfelt Words
In the morning, Xiao Muzhen had just washed up and went downstairs when Chen Tian told her that Shi Yiheng had been waiting outside the villa all night.
Xiao Muzhen frowned, turned his head to look out the window, and sure enough, he saw Shi Yiheng's car parked at the door.
Seeing the displeasure in her eyes, Shen Tian quickly said: “If you don’t want to see him, then disappear. I’ll go and send him away.”
"No, I can do it myself."
Just as Xiao Muzhen walked towards Shi Yiheng's car, he pushed open the door and got out and walked towards her.
When the two were a few steps away, Xiao Muzhen stopped.
"You don't have to stay here any longer, go back."
Shi Yiheng looked at her with regret and guilt in his eyes, "Zhenzhen, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday... I was too excited, and I was too afraid of losing you... Although we are engaged, I still feel insecure inside, always feeling that you will leave me at any time... That's why I lost my mind and said something without thinking yesterday..."
Looking at Shi Yiheng's eager expression for explanation, Xiao Muzhen's face showed no expression.
"Although you did say those words yesterday when you were emotionally agitated, do you dare to say that those were not your true feelings?"
If you didn't think that way in your heart, how could you say those words?
After what happened yesterday, Xiao Muzhen realized her mistake. She shouldn't have been so anxious to get engaged to Shi Yiheng. After all, they didn't really know each other.
What they knew was only about each other three years ago... or maybe six or seven years ago, but people change.
Shi Yiheng took a deep breath and said slowly: "Indeed, I have thought about those things, I admit, but I really have never thought about hurting you. I want to give you happiness."
It was obvious that as long as Xiao Muzhen and Huo Yunting completely drew a line between them, they could be together happily, so why did she insist on staying in contact with Huo Yunting?!
Seeing the unwillingness and indignation in Shi Yiheng's eyes, Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips.
"Shi Yiheng, I feel like we no longer understand each other. We need time to slowly get to know each other, and then we can talk about whether we're suitable for each other."
Shi Yiheng looked at her with a wry smile, "So... do you want to break off the engagement with me now?"
Xiao Muzhen frowned. "I'm not breaking off the engagement. I just hope we can get to know each other better. Maybe after getting to know each other better, we'll find out that we're right for each other, or maybe not. Then, we can decide whether it's better to stay together or separate."
A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and the hands hanging by his side tightened slightly.
After all, she still didn't want to be with me and wanted to kick me away under the pretext of getting to know each other.
After a few seconds of silence, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to promise me that you won't meet Huo Yunting again!"
Xiao Muzhen sighed, looking somewhat helpless.
"You don't seem to understand what I mean. If you insist on me doing what you say, I think we may not be suitable."
She won't be with someone who just wants to control her, because that would drive her crazy.
Shi Yiheng's eyes revealed a hint of vulnerability, "Zhenzhen... I really feel too insecure. I'm afraid that in the process of interacting with Huo Yunting, you will fall in love with him again... If that happens, I don't know what I would do."
"If you won't even give me your trust, how do you think we can go on?"
"During the three years since I lost my memory, you've been keeping a few women around you, haven't you? I didn't want to bring this up, after all, everyone has a past, but you keep harping on my past, hoping that I'll stop associating with Huo Yunting for your sake. I explained, but you refused to listen."
"Do you want a partner or a puppet who obeys you unconditionally?"
Shi Yiheng couldn't help but take a step back and looked at Xiao Muzhen in disbelief.
"Do you think my love for you is control?"
"Isn't it? I suggest you go back and think about it carefully. If you still want to continue to control my normal interactions with others, we will break off the engagement. You saved me in the car accident, and I am very grateful, but I won't trade my freedom for the rest of my life. I can compensate you with something else."
Looking at Xiao Muzhen's calm expression, Shi Yiheng's forced calmness finally turned cold.
"Other compensation? What? Money? House? Or something else? Do you think I need it?"
"I know you don't need it, but this is all I can give you."
Shi Yiheng looked at her for a while and finally compromised.
"Okay, I won't interfere with your relationship with Huo Yunting anymore, but you can't doubt me anymore. Let's give each other a chance to get to know each other. If we find it's not suitable, I will let you go."
"Yeah, okay."
Seeing Xiao Muzhen agreed, Shi Yiheng's face showed the same gentle smile as before.
"Then I'll go back first. Today might not be the right time. Let's have dinner together tomorrow night."
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Okay."
After Shi Yiheng left, Xiao Muzhen returned to the villa.
"It seems like you guys had a good chat today and didn't quarrel. But you and Shi Yiheng are an engaged couple after all. You were too far apart when you were talking. You could have fit two of me in between."
Xiao Muzhen glanced at her and said calmly, "He and I have decided to get to know each other again. If it's not suitable, we may cancel the engagement later. I'm telling you this in advance so you won't be too surprised."
Shen Tian frowned, "Why do you say that as if you are sure that you two are not suitable?"
"If he keeps interfering in my life, we might not be right for each other."
"Shi Yiheng interferes with your life?!"
Chen Tian's eyes were full of disbelief and doubt. After all, she had seen Shi Yiheng and Xiao Muzhen getting along before. He was so obedient, so how could he possibly interfere with her?
"What's that expression on your face?!"
Noticing Xiao Muzhen's unfriendly expression, Shen Tian quickly shook her head, "No, no, I'm just too surprised... After all, I think he loves you very much, and he has a very good personality. He doesn't seem like someone who would interfere with your life."
Xiao Muzhen was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "We haven't seen each other for several years, and he has been the president of Shi Group for three years. His personality must have become stronger. Otherwise, how could he control the people below him?"
In fact, Xiao Muzhen was not shocked that Shi Yiheng became like this.
When a person is in a high position for a long time, he will subconsciously control everyone around him, but he himself does not realize it.
"Okay, but I don't think you have much affection for Shi Yiheng... maybe there's friendship, but I don't think you're attracted to him."
"Haven't you heard that love can be cultivated?"
Shen Tian sighed, patted Xiao Muzhen's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Do you think you are the kind of person who can cultivate feelings with others?"
