The faint scent of roses became stronger due to the sudden increase in temperature inside the car.
Li Mu couldn't bear it any longer and bit Liu Zi's lip with restraint, subtly reminding her not to do it here and to wait until they got back.
Liu Zi stopped breathing heavily, her eyes glistening with tears. Her shirt collar was slightly open, which made Li Mu hug her even tighter.
It's no wonder Liu Zi was so excited to see him this time. Firstly, the two had been separated for quite a while, and secondly, Liu Zi was grateful for Li Mu's thoughtfulness; he had thought of everything for her.
To be honest, the Super Star program was able to run smoothly this time thanks to Li Mu. From the venue and training equipment to the personnel, he even sent Xu Er to Shenzhen.
Liu Zi sensed his importance.
This incident marks the first time someone has tried to trip her up since her return to the entertainment industry. Even Zhang Ke, a seasoned veteran in the industry, was at a loss, which shows just how ruthless these people were.
After confirming the live broadcast location for Chenxing, Zhang Ke secretly told her that the other party was not only trying to take over their venues in Hong Kong, but also large venues in Beijing, waiting for their program to be unable to continue and be canceled.
However, when they heard that Chenxing had sponsored the program, not only providing the venue but also investing a lot of money in it, they were all devastated and had no choice but to give up.
Liu Zi especially wanted to share her happiness with Li Mu; this was what it felt like to have someone supporting her.
Looking at the woman who was leaning obediently and dependently against him, Li Mu felt that she was particularly warm towards him this time.
Could it be the legendary saying that women in their thirties are like wolves and tigers? Otherwise, how could she be so wild? Before, when the two of them were occasionally intimate, she would blush shyly like a peach.
Although I am a few years older than her, I am well-maintained and have not neglected my physical training. I must not disappoint her tonight.
Li Mu made up his mind and tightened his grip.
Liu Zi was completely unaware, assuming that Li Mu was also missing her, and the two went back to the hotel affectionately.
Dinner was served, and Li Mu ordered something rather light, which suited Liu Zi's taste.
She took a bath in the bathroom until she felt completely refreshed before coming out.
"Come and eat, or it'll get cold." Li Mu stood up from the sofa wearing the bathrobe provided by the hotel.
"Okay!"
Liu Zi paused for a moment, then tidied her hair and walked over.
Li Mu ate very little, only holding a glass of red wine, watching Liu Zi eat with unwavering focus.
Liu Zi felt embarrassed by the stares, but she had been too busy today and only had a simple lunch, so she was really starving.
But the man opposite her kept staring at her. Liu Zi felt a little shy and anxious. Seeing a glass of red wine next to her, she picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.
"No~"
Li Mu couldn't stop her; Liu Zi had already finished her drink.
He chuckled softly, thinking to himself, "This girl, the red wine today is a bit strong. She's not good at drinking, she'll probably get drunk soon!"
"What's wrong?"
Liu Zi stuck out her tongue; she really couldn't appreciate this red wine.
In her previous life, she drank alcohol mainly for social occasions, mostly baijiu (Chinese white liquor), and only occasionally dabbled in red wine.
Compared to the fruity aroma of red wine, Liu Zi prefers the soy sauce aroma and spiciness of baijiu.
However, she overlooked one thing: she hadn't yet developed her alcohol tolerance through countless social engagements. After drinking a glass of red wine, Feng felt slightly tipsy.
Liu Zi stood up, feeling a little dizzy. She staggered a couple of steps and fell directly into Li Mu's protective arms.
"Give me a hug," Liu Zi said after a sigh.
Li Mu chuckled, bent down, picked the person up, and the two walked into the bedroom together.
Li Mu was not a lustful person, even though the two had not seen each other for some time.
Why are you behaving so strangely towards me today?
Li Mu half-pressed Liu Zi down on the bed and gently kissed her forehead before speaking.
"What's wrong with me? I clearly miss you a lot," Liu Zi pouted and retorted.
"You wouldn't have been this...proactive before!" Li Mu kissed her lips.
"She was just a little excited to see you, okay!"
"Zizi, I don't want you to feel like you're trying to please or repay me because of what I've done. I'm your boyfriend, and it's my own willingness to help you solve your problems," Li Mu said after a couple of seconds of contemplation.
Liu Zi frowned. Why would this man think that way?
She rolled over forcefully, pushed the man off her, and then sat on top of him.
"Li Mu, it seems we need to talk."
"What should we talk about?"
Li Mu seemed somewhat distracted, his large hand lingering on Liu Zi's waist and abdomen.
"Let's talk about my last relationship."
"I know that, no need to talk about it." After pausing for two seconds, Li Mu began to avoid the topic.
"You don't know, there are some things I want to tell you." Liu Zi insisted, her eyes fixed intently on the man beneath her.
"...Go ahead and say it!" Li Mu said, sounding a little sour.
Liu Zi briefly recounted her past romantic experiences.
"In my last marriage, I was always the one being chosen, decided upon, and abandoned. After the divorce, I told myself I would never step into the grave of marriage again, but I never expected to meet you."
"Li Mu, you gave me endless trust and favoritism, letting me know that I am worthy of being loved and cherished." Two tears slid down Liu Zi's cheeks.
"Don't cry."
Li Mu felt a painful ache in his heart. It was all his fault for not meeting Liu Zi sooner, which made her suffer so much in her previous marriage.
"Although we haven't gotten married yet, or even had a formal engagement, you give me a great deal of respect and a sense of security."
"How about we get married?" Li Mu interjected at the opportune moment.
Liu Zi froze on the spot. Why did this man suddenly bring this up?
"We'll talk about that later!" Liu Zi hadn't decided yet.
"Since you say there's no difference between us and a real married couple, why can't we get married?" Li Mu wanted an answer.
"I know you were hurt in your last marriage and you're worried about our future. I can transfer all my assets to your name. If I ever do anything to betray you, you can make me leave with nothing," Li Mu said without hesitation.
"No... I don't want your assets." Liu Zi didn't expect Li Mu to force her to marry him at this time.
"This isn't about money; we have many issues to resolve. I think our current relationship is quite good."
"Leave all the problems to me, I'll handle them," Li Mu said, unwilling to give up.
After a two-second silence, Liu Zi asked, "Will your family dislike me? Will they care that I was married before? Will they care that I have two children? Will my parents dislike you?"
A series of questions revealed all of Liu Zi's inner struggles.
