Chapter 156: Confessing to Each Other
"What’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you saying anything?" Xue’er was getting a bit anxious while waiting, and she couldn’t help but urge him. She was an impatient person, and she was truly worried seeing Mu Qiancheng like this.
She wanted to know what was going on with Mu Qiancheng before, why he seemed so sullen. Logically, seeing her earn money and join the Calligraphy Association, he should be happy.
But he didn’t seem too happy, rather he appeared to be burdened with heavy thoughts.
"Xue’er, I just, just..." Seeing Xue’er getting anxious, Mu Qiancheng bit his lip, and finally spoke, "I’m just worried that you might leave me. After all, you’re so outstanding now, and I’m afraid I don’t match up to you. I’m even more afraid that I can’t protect you."
As soon as he said that, Xue’er was stunned. She never imagined that Mu Qiancheng’s concern was this. She had thought, had thought that Mu Qiancheng’s feelings for her had changed, even doubting his love for her.
Thinking of it like that, Xue’er immediately felt guilty, feeling she had wronged Mu Qiancheng. So, she reached out, wrapped her arms around Mu Qiancheng’s waist, and said, "Fool, what are you thinking so carelessly for? No matter how outstanding I become, am I not still your wife? Don’t worry, for this lifetime, I won’t leave you. Unless, unless, you don’t want me anymore."
Xue’er originally hadn’t planned to confess to Mu Qiancheng so soon, but she hadn’t expected him to think this way. To stop him from thinking wildly, she had to confess.
This way, he shouldn’t worry that she would leave him anymore.
"No, I wouldn’t, how could I not want you? I couldn’t adore you more, otherwise, I wouldn’t have let my mom go to your house to propose, nor insist on marrying you when you didn’t want to."
