C29 Because I like You

After an unknown period of time, Xia Wennuan's emotions gradually calmed down. Only then did she realize how close the distance between her and Mo Shaoqing was, and how ambiguous her posture was.

"Sorry, I dirtied your clothes again." She looked at Mo Shaoqing's wet chest from her tears and blamed herself. Xia Wennuan's voice was so soft that she almost could not hear it.

Mo Shaoqing smiled and shook his head. "It's okay. You can continue to wash my clothes."

"Yes." Xia Wennuan smiled embarrassedly.

Unexpectedly, Mo Shaoqing's next sentence was, "You better wash me for the rest of my life."

... "" Xia Wennuan was speechless for a moment. She gently pushed Mo Shaoqing's chest away and stepped over the grass. She walked towards the river and looked at the rippling river. She seemed to have gathered her courage. "Shaoqing, do you want to hear my story?"

"Yes, as long as you are willing." Mo Shaoqing walked over and stood behind Xia Wennuan, staring at her petite and thin back.

"You must be very curious why my relatives treat me like that. They do not seem to be related to me at all. Why is my sister so mean to me?"

Turning her head, Xia Wennuan sighed in her heart, "Actually, my father's current wife is my stepmother. My younger sister is only my half-father and half-mother. My mother passed away when I was ten years old. Today's relatives are all my stepmother's family members. It has nothing to do with me. "

Xia Wennuan's voice paused for a moment before she adjusted her emotions. She continued, "My father always hoped that my sister and I could marry a rich man. The invitation to the cocktail party that day. It was not easy for my father to get it. The reason why he let us go was to get a husband. "

Who knew that he would meet Mo Shaoqing that day?

After knowing the truth, Mo Shaoqing wasn't surprised at all. He didn't have the slightest intention of looking down on Xia Wennuan. He just felt that this girl was not easy to deal with. No wonder every time he was with her, he could feel her helpless struggle.

"I don't know why I'm telling you all this. Maybe it's because I'm usually too depressed. After you hear my story, do you feel that I'm unbearable? Actually, I think so too. "

Thinking about how she had such a family, such a group of family and relatives, Xia Wennuan felt ashamed and could not raise her head at all.

Mo Shaoqing had been silent the whole time. He quietly listened to Xia Wennuan and did not ask any questions.

Xia Wennuan did not dare to turn her head when she could not hear the sound behind her. She was afraid that when she turned her head, she would see Mo Shaoqing looking at her with disdain.

She was afraid that she could not bear it.

It was her that disappointed Mo Shaoqing.

"Mister Mo, now you know what my family background is like. Are you very disappointed? I am not the kind of good girl you think I am. I am just... I am just a... bad guy who wants to marry a rich man..."

"Stop it!"

Just as Xia Wennuan was about to cry, Mo Shaoqing suddenly hugged her tightly. His voice was low and suppressed. "Don't say anymore!"

Wennuan's chest was pressed against her back and her large white hands were tightly wrapped around her chest, making Xia Wennuan feel at ease.

"You, what do you think of me?" Xia Wennuan mustered up her courage and still asked this question.

She did not know why she asked that. It was as if there was a force urging her to ask, but after asking, she did not regret it.

"Wennuan." Mo Shaoqing did not immediately answer her question. Instead, he pulled her body over and faced her. He forced her to look at him. "Look at me!"

Xia Wennuan held her breath and summoned her courage. She slowly raised her head and looked into Mo Shaoqing's eyes.

With just one look, Xia Wennuan knew that she had thought too much. Mo Shaoqing's eyes did not have the contempt and ridicule that she had imagined. There was only tenderness that could not be melted.

"Forget about those, forget the unhappiness and unhappiness, and forget the unhappy life that you had in the past. Forget all of them!" Mo Shaoqing stared into Xia Wennuan's gentle eyes. "Those things are not worthy of you to blame yourself, and they are even more unworthy of you to cry!"

However, Mo Shaoqing's words made Xia Wennuan start to cry again. "Why are you so good to me?"

Did he not dislike her family? Didn't he dislike that she used to be a snobbish woman? Didn't he care about the humiliation he received today?

"Because I like you." Mo Shaoqing's thin lips moved and he said something that made Xia Wennuan unable to believe what she heard.

"What did you say?" Xia Wennuan looked at Mo Shaoqing in shock. There was a voice in her heart that kept telling her, You heard it wrong, you heard it wrong...

Mo Shaoqing held Xia Wennuan's little hand and tightly folded it in his palm. Then, he repeated word by word, "I said, because I like you."

Boom!

Xia Wennuan's brain instantly exploded.

Her entire body was completely stunned. Her body stiffened and she was unable to react for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Mo Shaoqing noticed Xia Wennuan's blank expression and asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Nothing." Xia Wennuan came back to her senses and subconsciously retracted her hand. At the same time, she pushed Mo Shaoqing's chest away. "Don't joke around. This joke is not funny at all."

Xia Wennuan, who was immersed in a blank world just now, suddenly woke up as if she had been splashed with a bucket of cold water.

She immediately turned around and faced Mo Shaoqing with her back again. "If you still think I am a friend, don't joke with me like this in the future."

Although she knew that Mo Shaoqing had some feelings for her, Xia Wennuan knew that it was impossible for the two of them.

Just now, Xia Wennuan woke up because she saw the seriousness in his eyes.

"I am not joking. Actually, you have always known that from the beginning, I was not joking with you."

Yes, he was definitely not joking. He was not so bored and would not do that. If it was not for the person he firmly believed in, he would not have wasted so much time.

"Wennuan, can you marry me?" Mo Shaoqing's voice was slightly hoarse because of nervousness.

When he said this, even Mo Shaoqing himself was in a trance. He actually... proposed to a woman.

"Not good."

However, the person who proposed to him was rejected very straightforwardly.

"Why?" Mo Shaoqing's eyes turned cold as he asked in puzzlement.

"There is no reason. It is not good." Xia Wennuan used the movement of shaking her head to slow down the agitation in her heart.

She had just walked out of Mo Shaoqing's confession, and in the next moment, she was sucked into the whirlpool of his proposal.

Her mind was in a mess.

After experiencing so much tonight, Xia Wennuan no longer knew which words were true and which were false. She was so tired and wanted to sleep. All of this must be a dream of hers.

There was nothing about her eating with Mo Shaoqing, nor was there a series of conflicts at night, nor was there any confession or proposal at this moment.

It was all fake...

"Give me a bad reason, Xia Wennuan."

Mo Shaoqing stared at Xia Wennuan's face seriously, trying to find the flaw on her face. He exposed that she was actually being reserved and saying what she thought was wrong.

However, after searching for a long time, Mo Shaoqing only found a trace of determination on Xia Wennuan's face.

"I am not worthy of you." Shaking her head, Xia Wennuan wanted to break free of Mo Shaoqing's hands. "Let go of me. I want to go home."

"Go home? Did you forget what your father said just now? He told you never to go back! You still want to go back now? Xia Wennuan, is your brain playing tricks on you?! "

" Yes! I am just out of my mind, but even if I am out of my mind, I will not be with you. "

Xia Wennuan calmly looked at Mo Shaoqing, "Mr. Mo, if you insist on being with me, I can only call you that."

"Mo Shaoqing frowned and looked at Xia Wennuan without saying anything.

"I am just an ordinary woman. There is nothing good about me. I don't know why you like me, and I don't want to know either. I just want to tell you that I'm rejecting you because I don't like you... I don't want to get rid of my family just because you're just an ordinary friend. I'll just casually find a man I don't like to date and get married... I won't do such a thing."

Xia Wennuan calmly said a lot to Mo Shaoqing. These reasons might be a little heartless, but Xia Wennuan knew that if she wasn't heartless, her family would be heartless to Mo Shaoqing.

The reason why she could not be with Mo Shaoqing was very simple. She did not want to drag him into the water.

Perhaps Mo Shaoqing did not have money and was very poor, but he was a good person. He was also a man that Xia Wennuan had feelings for the first time she saw him.

She really didn't want to see him being humiliated by her family because of her.

Xia Wennuan knew very well in her heart that once she nodded and agreed, there would be endless troubles in the future. Her family members who were like vampires would definitely not let Mo Shaoqing go.

Even if she did not marry into a wealthy family in the end, they would still think of ways to get money from her in-laws.

Xia Wennuan had already seen through this matter very thoroughly.

"Is this the reason?" Mo Shaoqing smiled indifferently, "I don't believe it."

"Alright. Of course there is another reason. Do you want to know? Then I'll tell you." Xia Wennuan secretly pinched her palm with her fingers and told herself to hold on. She said to Mo Shaoqing in an even colder and crueler way. "Because you don't have money. You are a pauper. You can't afford the betrothal gifts that my father wants! Is this enough? "

Mo Shaoqing looked at Xia Wennuan's expression coldly and suppressed the huge waves in his heart. He almost told Xia Wennuan on the spot that it wasn't that he didn't have money, nor was he a pauper. He wouldn't be unable to afford the betrothal gifts that her father wanted.

But in the end, Mo Shaoqing held it in and only coldly threw down two words, "Is that so?"

"Yes, that's right!" Xia Wennuan answered firmly without any hesitation.

"Yes." Mo Shaoqing pursed his thin lips and answered faintly.

"I'm going back." Xia Wennuan lowered her head and walked past Mo Shaoqing, brushing past him.

"I'll see you out." Mo Shaoqing's voice no longer had the strength from before. His tone could no longer discern his emotions.

"No need." Xia Wennuan stopped in her tracks and turned her face to look at the shadow of Mo Shaoqing on the grass. "I know him very well. I know the way home."

Mo Shaoqing did not insist. He looked at Xia Wennuan's back as she slowly walked away. There was a bitter smile on his face - he was laughing at himself.
