Su Shenglin smiled and said, "There's no doubt about it, this is indeed one of the motives."
What? !
Why are you rushing me to get our marriage certificate just for this?
I suddenly froze, staring at him blankly, speechless.
"Let's go, I'll take you up."
He still cared that there was a driver in the car, so he didn't do anything else, but he took my son from my arms and took us upstairs.
In the elevator, he looked at me with focused and affectionate eyes, without moving.
I felt embarrassed by his stare and said, "What are you looking at?"
“I’m not going to stare at you properly until we’ve made up, because I’m afraid you’ll get angry,” he replied seriously, making me even more embarrassed.
After entering the house and putting the sleeping child down, I saw him turn around, and instinctively I turned around and left as well.
But it was still too late.
He stretched out his arm, grabbed me around the waist, and pulled me back into his embrace.
"Su Shenglin, don't do this. This is Wanzhen's place, it's not appropriate..." I quickly stopped him as his face was about to fall down, and said in a low voice.
Su Shenglin remained rational enough to restrain himself and lean in for a peck. "When are you moving in with me?"
"No rush."
"Shall we get the marriage certificate first?"
"Well... there's no rush, is there?"
Su Shenglin suddenly frowned. "Are you changing your mind again?"
To be honest, I did have some regrets.
But looking at his expression, I dared not admit it, fearing that he would immediately use some forceful means to compel me to get the marriage certificate right away.
"No, I just feel... I can't run away, why are you in such a hurry? At least let me get used to it."
Su Shenglin smiled and said, "We've known each other for a while now, what's there to get used to?"
I didn't say anything.
He took my hand and led me out of the bedroom, then turned back to look at me and whispered, "Let's have a good talk about our plans for the future."
"Um."
Since you've decided to get married, there are indeed many things that need to be agreed upon beforehand.
There were rattan chairs and low tables on the balcony, so I told him to go sit on the balcony first while I made a pot of tea.
I don't sleep well at night with the kids, and I'm feeling a bit sleepy around noon, so I need to drink some tea to perk myself up.
Seeing me bring over the tea, Su Shenglin asked curiously, "When did you start liking tea?"
"Refreshing".
He looked at me and instantly understood, his eyes filled with heartache. "From now on, I'll help you take care of the child, so it won't be so hard anymore."
I smiled and said sincerely, "Actually, my son is quite obedient. He hasn't woken up at night much since he was six months old. It's just that I'm used to being a light sleeper."
Mothers are all like this; they wake up at the slightest sound, worried that their child has woken up and is crying.
"Wanwan, do you hate me?" Su Shenglin looked at me and asked very seriously.
I was pouring tea when I heard this, and my hand trembled slightly. Then I chuckled and said, "I don't hate you."
"That's good..." He visibly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved. "Ever since I found out you had a child, I always thought you hated me, which is why you didn't tell me."
"No, you are wonderful. It's because I wasn't good enough for you that I lost you."
No, you are fine too.
He slowly raised his hand, his long arm reaching across the low table between us, and gently grasped my hand.
“Wanwan, you need to know that when someone falls in love with another person, it's because that person is good enough. Don't use worldly and realistic things to measure your worth. In my opinion, I love you, and you deserve it.”
I stared at him blankly, feeling the warmth of his palm. My heart, which had been adrift for two years, seemed to slowly return to its place.
Su Shenglin in the past was very good at sweet talk.
Two years after we parted, he was always unpredictable these past few days when we met again. I thought his personality had changed drastically and he was hard to understand.
But after hearing these words, I know that the Su Shenglin of the past has returned.
He remained as gentle and refined as ever, with impeccable manners.
Being with him is incredibly comfortable, like a gentle breeze.
He said, "I love you, and you deserve it."
It instantly boosted my confidence and made me feel inexplicably more self-assured.
I stared at him silently for a while before blinking away, embarrassed.
“But I’ve accomplished nothing right now…” I muttered to myself.
Although I'm starting a new career, my grandmother is seriously ill and my son is young, so I'll have to put my work on hold again for the time being.
"You've done a great job raising your child on your own, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. Besides, with your abilities, it's only a matter of time before your career makes a comeback."
I smiled at him and said, "You have that much confidence in me?"
“Of course.” He turned around and took both my hands in his. “However, starting a business always takes time and energy, so why don’t you move in with me? I’ll take care of our son, so you can do what you want to do.”
I stared at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Su Shenglin, is this the real purpose behind your so-called 'talking to me'?"
He smiled, his handsome face relaxed and happy, and did not deny it: "Since we are getting married, where to live is of course the biggest problem. Wanwan, I know what you are still hesitating about. This time, can you let me shelter you from the wind and rain and support our little family? You don't have to worry about anything. I will solve any difficulties and obstacles. Just consider it an opportunity for me to show my responsibility as a father and set an example for my son."
I listened quietly as he finished speaking, and my heart was completely won over.
Just a moment ago I had some room for regret and hesitation, but now I'm completely resolute.
If a strong and outstanding man has made such a statement, what am I still hesitating for?
If I were to refuse happiness that was offered to me, I fear I would be punished.
