Ma Siluo looked at Xia Yansi in disbelief and asked, "Senior, what are you talking about?"

Ma Siluo's face became even paler, her lips were trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of fear.

She looked straight into Xia Yansi's eyes, trying to see whether this was just a joke and to confirm whether he was serious or not.

Xia Yansi looked straight at her and repeated, "Marry me."

Ma Siluo smiled bitterly and asked, "Senior, are you kidding?"

Although Ma Siluo had a smile on her face, it was actually uglier than crying. She found that her whole body was cold and she was trembling slightly.

Xia Yansi said seriously: "I'm not kidding, Siluo, let me take care of you."

Ma Siluo did not agree to Xia Yansi's request, but asked, "Why?"

She wanted to see Xia Yansi's true emotions through his eyes, but this man's disguise was too strong, concealing all his thoughts, making it impossible for Ma Siluo to see.

Ma Siluo wanted to know why Xia Yansi brought it up so suddenly. He had clearly heard him say yesterday that he couldn't commit to marriage with her, so why did he change his mind?

Ma Siluo didn't believe that Xia Yansi would change his words easily, she knew him so well.

Xia Yansi suddenly couldn't answer, and the two fell into silence.

Ma Siluo smiled bitterly. She had already understood everything from Xia Yansi's attitude.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of her left wrist wrapped in white gauze, and her face turned even paler.

Ma Siluo almost forgot about this matter. She did such a thing this morning because she was surrounded by despair.

She subconsciously stretched out her right palm to cover the wound, and said in a trembling voice: "Is it because of me..."

Ma Siluo suddenly couldn't say those two words. She still had her own dignity, and she couldn't expose her ugly side in front of the person she loved.

Xia Yansi saw Ma Siluo's subtle movements, his eyes moved slightly, and then he said to her: "No, I really want to be responsible for you."

Although Xia Yansi couldn't express his feelings for Ma Siluo in words, he thought that maybe they would develop feelings for each other as they got along with each other.

He knew that this was unfair to Ma Siluo, and he also wanted to try his best to compensate her in other ways. Even if Ma Siluo told him to die now, he would not hesitate and would immediately repay Ma Siluo with his life.

However, Ma Siluo is not such a person. She would rather have nothing than have Xia Yansi give her alms out of pity and sympathy.

Ma Siluo pulled the corner of his mouth and asked, "Aren't you marrying me because you like me?"

Xia Yansi's throat was dry. He moved his lips but couldn't utter a word.

Ma Siluo's heart sank, and he pressed on, "Did you marry me because you felt sorry for me after seeing me commit suicide?"

Xia Yansi was hoarse and remained silent.

Ma Siluo's heart completely turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "No, I don't agree, I won't marry you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Siluo pulled out the needle hole on his left hand, lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed.

Xia Yansi was shocked. He immediately stood up and held Ma Siluo down, asking, "What are you doing?"

Ma Siluo pushed Xia Yansi's body, crying and suppressing her sobs, saying, "I don't want to marry you, I won't marry, I won't marry..."

Xia Yansi held Ma Siluo's hands, looked into her eyes steadily, and said seriously: "Siluo, I know you have a knot in your heart. I won't give my heart to you so quickly. Can you give me some time? When I said I would take good care of you, I was planning to keep you by my side. Believe me, I will never let you down."

Ma Siluo listened to Xia Yansi's words, tears still streaming down her little face, looking so pitiful.

Yes, Ma Siluo didn’t want much. He just wanted to be able to look at the person he loved, even from a distance. That was enough.

But it is definitely not like this now. I can stay by his side for the rest of my life, but I can still feel his love, which is even colder and more indifferent than an outright rejection.

Ma Siluo didn't want this situation. She liked Xia Yansi, but she couldn't allow herself to become a burden to Xia Yansi.

Finally, Xia Yansi sighed, hugged Ma Siluo in his arms, and said to her: "Siluo, believe me, I will definitely do what I say."

After listening to Xia Yansi's words, Ma Siluo couldn't help but burst into tears, and his tears soaked Xia Yansi's clothes.

She always believed what Xia Yansi said about the man she used to worship as a god, because he was him, not anyone else.

At this moment, Ma Siluo should have felt happy, but instead, she felt uneasy.

Will the future be better? Will it be happier than now?

Maybe, who can predict the future changes in advance...

…

At night, Royal View Bay.

Mu Heng finally finished all the things that had been piled up. He walked out of the study and was about to go to the bedroom to take a shower, but he smelled the smell of food coming from the kitchen. The aroma became stronger and attracted Mu Heng over.

A tall woman stood in front of the cooking table, turning the fish in the pan with a focused look. She was frying the fish, the skin was fried golden brown, and the aroma was overflowing, which was very tempting.

The warm yellow light from the kitchen shone on the woman's black hair, making it appear chestnut, and a few strands of hair fell to her cheeks.

Mu Heng walked over and gathered those strands of hair and tucked them behind her ears.

Ruan Mengmeng looked back at him and said with a faint smile: "Dinner will be ready soon, go take a shower first."

Mu Heng replied calmly, "Yeah." But he didn't leave for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Mengmeng looked at the fish in the pot and asked the person behind her.

Mu Heng looked at Ruan Mengmeng's clean and white fingers, which were empty. Only then did he realize that they had forgotten something very important.

Mu Heng lowered his eyes, thinking quietly. Suddenly, he walked forward and gently hugged her from behind, with his chin just resting on her head. He put his hands around her waist and said softly, "Meng Meng."

"Hmm?" Ruan Mengmeng let Mu Heng hug her while frying fish in her hands.

"Let's go back to the Mu family and tell grandma." Mu Heng used his free hand to hold Ruan Mengmeng's left hand, pinching and playing with her fingers one by one.

Ruan Mengmeng paused, knowing that Mu Heng wanted to go home and tell Old Madam Mu that they had obtained the marriage certificate. She smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Mu Heng's mouth curled up slightly. He leaned over and left a light kiss on Ruan Mengmeng's cheek, then left the kitchen.

Ruan Mengmeng couldn't help but shake her head and laugh. Mu Heng's kiss just now seemed to be a reward for her.

Twenty minutes later, Mu Heng came out of the bathroom, and Ruan Mengmeng had already prepared the meal.

Mu Heng dropped the towel he was using to wipe his hair, walked over, leaned over and gave her a kiss on the face, and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."
