Then isn't he the most suitable candidate?
In order to ensure that someone could inherit his great cause, he flew back to China from afar, bowing and scraping and sincerely apologizing, saying he would make amends. In the end, it was all for his own benefit.
This man can fool him time and time again, no matter the situation.
Yes, how could someone like that possibly change their mind?
Shen Moyu sniffed, a sudden gust of cold air entering her nasal cavity. It turns out that no one in this world will suddenly be kind to you; everything you receive requires a return.
"If you keep going, you'll bump into a tree." Su Jinning pressed Shen Moyu's forehead and pushed him back.
Shen Moyu looked up and saw a large white poplar tree standing less than two steps away from her. If she bumped into it, she would probably get a concussion.
He turned around and looked at Su Jinning, who was secretly laughing to herself, and lowered his head with a hint of grievance: "What are you laughing at? We haven't bumped into each other yet."
"I won't stop you from trying?" Su Jinning raised an eyebrow and smiled, her hand that was on Shen Moyu's forehead sliding down to touch his frozen cheek.
Shen Moyu closed his eyes and rubbed his palm against his, like a wronged child finally comforted, and then ran straight into someone's arms. The familiar scent of mint wafted into his nostrils, and he relaxed.
Ugh, let him just stay like that, and never get up.
Su Jinning patted the back of his head. He seemed to sense the negative energy emanating from Shen Moyu. He bent down so that Shen Moyu's head could rest against his shoulder. "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your uncle?"
Shen Moyu remained silent, but reached out and wrapped his arms around Su Jinning's waist, still showing no intention of getting up.
"What's wrong? Tell me." Su Jinning patted his back rhythmically.
"Brother Ning, have you and Zhou Xingqi met alone?" Shen Moyu lifted her head from his chest.
Su Jinning clearly avoided his gaze. In front of Shen Moyu, all his secrets and thoughts could be seen through without exception.
"He told you, didn't he?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Moyu lowered her head and straightened up: "You forgot to delete the call logs."
“…” Su Jinning turned her head away and sighed.
"You knew about my going abroad a long time ago, why didn't you tell me?" Shen Moyu's words were reproachful, but her tone was still gentle: "I sensed something was wrong with you a long time ago. You kept saying strange things, like what if we broke up, or whether we would leave each other. Why did you choose to keep it all to yourself and not tell me anything?"
The feeling of being exposed was unpleasant. Su Jinning held his hand but didn't dare to look up at him: "I don't know how to say it."
He didn't know how Shen Moyu would react to his suggestion, and he was afraid of putting Shen Moyu in a difficult position. But what he feared most was that Shen Moyu would agree and then leave without looking back.
The thing that had been bothering him for almost half a month finally happened. Su Jinning's mind was a complete mess, and he grabbed Shen Moyu's cold hand haphazardly: "I know your dad might be able to give you a better life, and there are better resources waiting for you abroad, but Shen Moyu..." He finally looked up at the other's eyes, and the unspoken reluctance in his eyes was all there: "Can you wait for me a little longer? As long as you graduate from university with me, we can run my dad's company together, and I can give you any kind of life you want! I'll work harder next semester, and I'll try to catch up with you. Think about it... okay?"
Su Jinning's voice was urgent yet soft, clearly showing her reluctance, yet she spoke with extreme timidity.
He could only try his best to hold Shen Moyu's hand, but if Shen Moyu let go first, he wouldn't do anything selfish.
He unconditionally submitted to Shen Moyu and respected all his decisions.
Shen Moyu stared into his eyes, and Su Jinning couldn't discern his emotions, but felt inexplicably flustered.
Like a soldier obeying orders, like a lamb to the slaughter, his heart was pounding in his throat.
"Why do you always feel like you're chasing after me?" Shen Moyu frowned, his fingertip touching Su Jinning's brow. "I've said it before, we've always been people who walk hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder. Besides, I've never cared whether you're outstanding or not. I don't need to consider it, because my choice has always been you."
He never cared about how bright his future would be; being with the person he loved was the future he wanted.
Su Jinning felt a warmth in her heart and hugged the boy in front of her. The huge rock suddenly fell, and she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been brought back to life.
This feeling of constant anxiety and fear was too torturous; he didn't want to experience it again.
"You never need to try to stop me, because I won't leave." Shen Moyu smiled gently, but only subtly.
"Um."
As long as they hold hands, no one can separate them.
“However, your father has been preparing for so long, he won’t give in so easily.” Thinking of this, Su Jinning was a little worried.
"So what? If I don't want to go, he can't just kidnap me." Shen Moyu winked at him, as if victory was assured.
When he said that, Su Jinning was genuinely afraid that her boyfriend, who was so big, would be kidnapped by Shen Donghai without a word. She immediately gripped his hand tightly: "Why don't you come to my house for a couple of days to hide?"
"If we could really avoid this, I would have booked tickets and run away with you to the Atlantic Ocean by now." Shen Moyu wondered when Su Jinning's IQ had become so low.
"Besides, there's no need to hide. Is it shameful for me to be with you?" Shen Moyu retorted.
"It's not shameful. I'm so handsome." Su Jinning raised an eyebrow again, acting completely irreverently.
Shen Moyu sighed, "Yes, yes, yes."
all
When Shen Donghai saw the two of them standing hand in hand in front of him, he almost fainted from anger. His serious face trembled, and he finally grabbed Shen Moyu's arm and said, "Come on, come inside with me."
"Let go!"
Shen Donghai refused to let go and tried to exert force, but Su Jinning pushed him back with a clever push and turned to protect Shen Moyu: "Uncle, let's talk things out, don't resort to violence."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Donghai was completely enraged: "Who do you think you are? Don't touch my son! Our family affairs are none of your business!" As he spoke, he reached out to touch Shen Moyu again.
"Uncle, I really shouldn't interfere in your family affairs. I just don't want to see you lay a hand on him." Su Jinning reached out and stood in front of Shen Moyu, staring unflinchingly at Shen Donghai's furious eyes.
“Uncle, I know a little about some things, but I just feel that Mo Yu is already eighteen years old. He has the right to take charge of his own life and the right to choose who to love. You shouldn’t interfere in these matters.”
He paused, then gripped Shen Moyu's hand tightly. "I am indeed with Shen Moyu, and we love each other very much. But I'm only here today to let you know, not to ask for your understanding." Su Jinning smiled politely, but a closer look revealed a hint of arrogance.
Shen Donghai was so angry that he staggered, his face extremely pale: "Stop talking nonsense, I don't want to hear it! Break it off as soon as possible! Don't let your disgusting behavior affect my son!"
"You..." Shen Moyu was about to retort when Su Jinning pulled him back. He gently patted the back of his hand and turned to say seriously, "I'm afraid that won't work. We're going to get married in the future."
Shen Moyu was stunned.
"Say that again!" Shen Donghai was furious and wanted to make a move, but Zhou Xingqi stopped him first.
"Two men should never fall in love! You're both mentally ill!" Shen Donghai gasped for breath: "Do you know how shameful this is if word gets out?"
"Stop talking!" Zhou Xingqi tried to drag Shen Donghai into the house. His brother's face was so ugly that for a moment he regretted telling his father about it.
