After venting her emotions, Li Anran gently embraced Su Mu in her arms.
He whispered softly, "Mumu, are you sure you won't regret this?"
"Regret," Su Mu uttered in a hoarse voice.
Li Anran's expression changed drastically, and her body instantly stiffened.
What he wanted was Su Mu's love, a love that came from the bottom of his heart. Not gratitude, not to repay him, not to treat himself as a tribute.
"Hehe, how can you be so cute?" Su Mu chuckled, leaning against Li Anran's chest, listening to the strong heartbeat, and closed his eyes contentedly.
"I regret not choosing you back then, and I regret missing out on so many years with you even more. Anran, let's get married! I want to spend the rest of my life making up for the years we missed."
No! Not just in this life, but in all the lives to come, we must find each other and spend our lives together, okay?
Su Mu raised her head slightly, and a drop of cold water landed on her face.
"Anran?" she asked worriedly.
Li Anran suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace.
The force was so great that it seemed to want to merge her into his body.
Su Mu even felt like his bones were about to break.
With each breath, the space in your chest decreases.
"Anran, I... can't breathe."
Li Anran then suddenly came to her senses and released her arm.
Su Mu breathed heavily, as if he had survived a disaster.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I..." Li Anran became so nervous that she couldn't speak coherently.
"It's okay, really."
"Mumu, did I hear that right? What you just said... is it true?"
Su Mu actually offered to marry him? Li Anran was in a daze.
He didn't even dare repeat what he had just heard, because he was afraid that he had misheard, or that all of this was just a dream...
Just like he had dreamed countless times over the years.
Suddenly, his face was cupped in two hands.
The face he had longed for day and night was now so close.
Warm breath sprayed onto his face.
Even though everything seemed so real, he still couldn't believe it.
"Li Anran, look carefully! It's me, Su Mu! I'm really in your arms! And what I just said is also true!"
I want to marry you! I want to have so many children with you! I want to grow old with you, for all eternity.
Su Mu's upturned lips never left his mouth.
"But……"
"No buts!" Su Mu interrupted, "Listen carefully! It's not because of gratitude, nor because you're rich now, I just simply like you, like you, the fool who has loved me for so many years."
Anran, you have to believe me. The reason I rejected you back then was because... I had my own reasons.
At this point, Su Mu seemed to furrow his brow in pain.
Just as she expected, the next second, she was tightly embraced by Li Anran.
"I know, I know everything! Mumu, forget the past. As long as you're willing to marry me, I will do everything in my power to make you happy for the rest of my life."
At this point, Li Anran suddenly froze.
Like a wooden puppet, he slowly pushed Su Mu away from his embrace.
"Mumu, there's something I want to tell you."
Su Mu nodded, looking at him earnestly.
Li Anran looked solemn; he didn't want Su Mu to feel guilty after learning the truth.
Because none of this was ever caused by Su Mu.
She was simply unlucky in love, or perhaps she was deceived by Liao Nanxing.
If there has to be a right and a wrong in this matter, then it is Liao Nanxing's fault!
Therefore, he did not intend to tell Su Mu the truth.
But he didn't want Su Mu to blindly follow him and live a hard life.
After much deliberation, Li Anran finally spoke: "Mumu, I mean, if... if one day my business fails and I become that penniless nobody again, would you... would you still be willing to marry me?"
He thought that if Su Mu hesitated even slightly, he would rather give everything to support her for the rest of his life than marry her.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Mu feigned anger. "Did you just let what I said go in one ear and out the other? I've said it before, I never wanted to marry you because of your money! What I want is you as a person, someone who loves me deeply!"
Su Mu spoke with exceptional firmness.
What a joke! She's been spending a lot of time online these past few days while taking care of her baby at the hospital.
She checked and found that Li Anran's company was engaged in overseas trade.
This industry is currently riding the wave of opportunity! As the saying goes online, if you catch the right trend, even a pig can fly.
Moreover, Li Anran's company was rated as the most promising dark horse online, and its rise to prominence was just around the corner. How could he suddenly become penniless?
As the old saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
Just by looking at the villa she lives in now, you can tell that Li Anran has made a lot of money over the years.
Even if the company is really struggling, how bad can it get?
Besides, Li Anran's heart and soul are completely devoted to her, so how could he possibly bear to let her suffer!
Even if things really come to that, Li Anran might give her everything he can, ensuring she'll be financially secure for the rest of her life, without her even having to ask for a divorce.
Whichever path she chooses, it's the best option for her!
Thinking of this, Su Mu's expression became even more determined.
"Mumu".
Li Anran leaned over and pressed down on him.
Su Mu not only accepted it readily, but even took the initiative to please Li Anran.
She desperately needs a child right now.
Only by becoming pregnant with Li Anran's child can she confess to Li Anran the mistakes she made in the past.
At that time, she won't even need to say a word; Li Anran will definitely clear the obstacles for her.
After all, Li Anran loved her so much, and with the child in her belly, Li Anran would definitely not stand by and watch her go to jail.
She's thought it all out.
For the rest of her life, as long as Li Anran treats her with all her heart, she will repay Li Anran with the utmost sincerity.
Late at night, Su Mu's phone rang again with a WeChat notification.
The room, filled with the scent of musk, was blindingly bright from the screen.
Su Mu woke up suddenly, just like he always did.
She glanced nervously at Li Anran beside her, then gently turned over and reached for her phone on the bedside table.
Upon clicking, Su Mu's heart skipped a beat.
It's that same person again!
I glanced at the time; it was 2:17 AM, almost the same time as before.
Su Mu frowned.
It seemed like the other person did it on purpose, deliberately choosing this time so that she wouldn't be able to sleep well in the latter half of the night.
This feeling was as if the other person was deliberately torturing her.
But that doesn't make sense either.
Why would they treat her like this when they had no grudge against her?
Trembling, I opened WeChat...
Tell me where Tiancheng is, or don't blame me for sending the photos to the child's mother.
Su Mu frowned.
Could it be... that the other party isn't looking for her, but for Jiang Tiancheng?
