She looked wan without her makeup, albeit her features still looked pretty. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying excessively, and it made her look especially miserable.
The barâs loud music had mellowed into a soothing slow rock.
The man did not push her away, though his expression remained cold and remote. He bowed his head and coolly watched her in his arms before he uttered slowly, âDonât you find it disgusting to get so drunk?â
Stunned, she looked down resignedly. Her teary appearance looked sorrowful as she replied softly, âYes, I also find myself ugly, but... Brother Mu, why are you ignoring me?â
He answered neutrally, âIâve said before: until you acknowledge your faultââ
âMy fault? What did I do wrong?â She broke down suddenly. âIâm just... justââ
âEnya, I know how you feel toward me, but Iâve already told you very clearly whatâs my stand on this matter! Itâs impossible between us.â
âWhat do you mean by âimpossibleâ? Is it because of our blood relations? Is that so?â
She hugged him sadly. âI know that Iâll be despised by society if Iâm with you, but what can I do when I love you so much? Brother Mu, I love you more than anyone else!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She suddenly thought of something as she looked up at him and said with a forced smile, âIâm not looking for status! I donât need you to marry meâjust the right to stay by your side for my whole life and be your lover! I just want to be with you forever, even if it means Iâll have no status or it canât be in the open...â
âNonsense.â His eyes turned sharp and chilly. âWhy are you putting yourself down in this way? Donât you find it utterly disgraceful?!â
âI donât care!â she retorted, tears rolling down her face anew. She added hoarsely, âThatâs because I really, really love you!â
He pursed his lips coldly before spouting cruelly, âBut I donât love you.â
That statement struck her like lightning.
She could not reconcile with his words and asked, âDo you love Yun Shishi, then?â
She suddenly tugged at his sleeve and asked seriously, âBrother Mu, answer me: Do you love her?â
He turned his eyes away coldly and refused to look at her.
The love between his woman and him had nothing to do with a third party, so he did not see the need to answer this ridiculous question.
Alas, his avoidance was misconstrued by his niece as him not loving Yun Shishi that much.
âI donât believe that you really love her! To you, sheâs only a plaything, isnât she?â She was eager to confirm that and searched his face desperately for an answer.
He merely told her icily, âEnya, have you fooled around enough? Now, you go home; understand?â
âYou havenât answered my question!â she persisted before breaking into a woeful laughter. âYou donât love her! I know that! If not, why would you make plans to marry Sister Wanrou?â
Raising an eyebrow, he frigidly asked in return, âWho said that Iâm marrying her?â
â...â
She was stunned.
Dumbstruck, she said, âI heard that you will hold a press conference to announce your wedding...â
âIâm going to announce my wedding.â His aloof tone paused as it dipped lower. âBut itâs not with her!â
Now, she was thoroughly floored.
He said that heâll announce his wedding but not with Mu Wanrou!
