âHow do I feel about this? Donât you know?â Mo Liuxi snickered and lowered his head further. At this point, Yan Su was cornered like a little bird in a nest.
Yan Su frowned in frustration...sometimes she knew,...but what happened between him and An Ning always clouded her judgment. âMo Liuxi, I donât know. You always tell me I have poor taste. My family tells me the same thing. They say that I focus on superficial appearances too much and donât focus enough on the person inside. Iâm lost and confused. Iâm scared...â
âAt least you know yourself,â Mo Liuxi said through gritted teeth. For a long time, he hated her taste in men. He couldnât help but add viciously, âYan Su, I donât know what youâve done to me. I canât get you out of my system. Itâs impossible to move on even after all this time.â
Yan Su already had an inkling of his feelings before now, but it was different hearing it from him. She was happy, a little bitter as well, and very confused. âSo whatâs going on... between you and An Ning Can you tell me?â
Mo Liuxi stood up abruptly. âYan Su. You have no right to ask about An Ning and me. Donât forget about the time you spent the night with Shi Xiang.â
Yan Su frowned, disappointed again. âSo, you still donât believe me that day...â
âHow can I believe you?â Mo Liuxi inhaled sharply as he tried to calm himself down. âIâm standing here not because I believe you, but because I care about you so much. Iâm forcing myself not to think about it. But Yan Su, if you dare make me a cuckold again, I will... I will lock you up.â His sharp words left no room for rebuttal.
Wow. He doesnât seem to be joking with that expression on his face. âWhatâs the point of all of this if you never believed me in the first place? Weâll live in the shadows of our doubts forever.â
âSo youâve decided to be with Shi Xiang in the end?â Mo Liuxi narrowed his eyes anxiously.
âLiuxi, I never thought about getting together with Shi Xiang. Iâve been out of love with him for a long time now. I love you.â Yan Su bit her lip. âThose things I asked you just now...if I didnât like you...would I have let you touch me again in Venice? I wouldnât have gone out with you in Beijing. I just hope we can be frank with each other today. Iâm drained. Iâve only slept for four hours for a few days now. Every time I open my eyes, I have to prepare for the upcoming competition. I heard that someone good is joining the show next week. If I donât work hard, Iâll be eliminated. This will probably be the last one until the end of the year. I hope you can calm down in the meantime and tell me about An Ning. Iâve said this before, but I have something important to tell you, too. If youâre not busy over Lunar New Year, stay with me...â
She blurted this as if it was a confession. And she had asked him to spend the Lunar New Year with her.
Mo Liuxi wasnât expecting this.
His pupils constricted, and he asked for clarification, âWhat do you mean? Are you planning to bring me to meet your parents?â
Yan Su, â...â
She did have plans: She wanted him to meet Yan Yan as well.
Why did she feel that he meant something else when he said that?
âAre you planning to drive your parents to their graves?â Mo Liuxi frowned. âYou went home last year pregnant, and youâre going to bring a man home this year?â
âWho said anything about meeting my parents?â Yan Su was annoyed now. âI just asked you to accompany me.â
Mo Liuxi was upset again. âWhat do you mean? Are you not going to bring me to meet your parents for the Lunar New Year? Is this the love youâre talking about? Are you serious about being together with me, or are you just fooling around again?â
