After Mu An'an asked her question, Lu Cheng paused for a moment and did not answer.
His silence made Mu An'an even more puzzled and annoyed.
"You don't want to go public with me, do you?"
Mu An'an put down her chopsticks, stared at Lu Cheng, and asked slowly.
"If word gets out about what happened between us, it might affect your future."
Lu Cheng lowered his head, not daring to meet Mu An'an's gaze, and replied indifferently.
Mu Anquan believed Lu Cheng's earlier statement.
Without a romantic relationship, it's easier to create on-screen couples for publicity within the industry. Often, when promoting a show, it's necessary to generate buzz around the male and female leads. If news of her marriage gets out, the on-screen couple can't be created, which can negatively impact her fan base.
Many celebrities in the industry who follow the idol route are unwilling to go public if they have a partner.
"If I say I'm not afraid!"
Mu An'an continued.
"What others think about this relationship is their business; I'm happy as long as I'm happy."
She has always lived a carefree life and dislikes being constrained.
"As long as I like it," the last half of the sentence made Lu Cheng's heart beat faster. He looked up and stared blankly at the girl he had always kept in his heart. Faced with her suggestion and confession, he wanted to accept.
He married Mu An'an through deception, not to be a couple who couldn't be seen in the light of day.
However, now is not the time.
"An'an!"
Lu Cheng called out.
Mu An'an got up and sat down next to Lu Cheng. "Lu Cheng, there's nothing wrong with people knowing that we're together."
"Um."
Lu Cheng agreed.
"An'an, what if you find out that I lied to you about something?"
Will you be angry with me?
"What is it?" Mu An'an asked with a smile.
She didn't think Lu Cheng would dare to lie to her; this man cherished her like a precious gem.
"You didn't like me that much before."
Looking at Mu An'an who had thrown herself into his arms, Lu Cheng's voice became indifferent.
The more you cherish something, the more you fear losing it.
There's nothing Lu Cheng can't get in his life, or rather, he's extremely good at controlling his desires and doesn't easily let anything steal his attention.
He had fallen for Mu An'an, but he had always kept his feelings hidden.
Until Mu An'an was in a car accident, he could no longer control his possessiveness towards her.
He thought, "This is how I'll live my whole life!"
However, what will happen if he goes public with his relationship with An'an, and An'an remembers their unpleasant past and how she didn't love him in the past?
Lu Cheng had never put himself in such a dilemma before.
Once a person has something they can't let go of, they're no longer so carefree.
"hehe!"
After hearing Lu Cheng say that she didn't like him before, Mu An'an laughed out loud, "It must be because you didn't know how to pursue me at the beginning!"
"I'm really curious, how did you manage to catch up with me?"
Lu Cheng stiffened, afraid that Mu An'an would ask him to talk about how he pursued her!
"However, I can't remember anything from the past, and I don't really want to know."
Mu An'an was very open-minded. She looked up at Lu Cheng with her bright eyes and said, "I only know that I have to be with you from now on."
"Lu Cheng, I really like you."
Mu An'an's confession was direct and sudden, which startled Lu Cheng. Without giving An'an a chance to speak, he lowered his head and kissed Mu An'an's lips quickly and fiercely.
When the two of them were together, Mu An'an would flirt with Lu Cheng from time to time; she was the one who took the initiative.
