Mr. Mu appears aloof in public, but secretly proposes marriage and kisses.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. If you cry again, I'm going to kiss you."

Mu Tingshen held the crying little girl in his arms and tried to comfort her for a long time without success, so he couldn't help but threaten her.

However, Su Muran couldn't stop crying.

Three years have passed, and she is no longer sad.

But at this moment, with all the misunderstandings cleared up, she still couldn't control herself and couldn't hold back her tears.

After threatening her, Mu Tingshen saw that she was still crying, so he didn't hold back and immediately lowered his head to kiss her.

His burning lips gently kissed away her tears, finally covering her lips and forcefully taking them from her.

He kissed her until she stopped crying and couldn't breathe, then slowly let go of her.

"Okay, stop crying. You won't be pretty if you keep crying."

Mu Tingshen cupped her face in his hands and spoke gently.

After a brief pause, he continued, "Actually, I haven't finished telling you what I wanted to say yet."

"What else?"

Su Muran looked at him with teary eyes, her expression both cute and bewildered, making Mu Tingshen want to kiss her again.

Forcibly suppressing the urge to speak, I said patiently, "After he told me this, I was furious. At the time, I only wanted to make him experience the pain of being locked in darkness and having no daylight. So... I found a place to lock him up too, and while he was away these past few days, I acquired and reorganized his company. Now his company is my property."

After saying this, Mu Tingshen felt guilty and didn't dare to look at her.

With her head down, she said again, "If you're angry, feel free to take it out on me! But I don't regret anything I've done. He hurt you, so I couldn't just do nothing."

"I'm not angry. I know you did all this to vent my anger, so how could I be so unreasonable as to yell at you?"

Su Muran immediately said.

Mu Tingshen was secretly delighted and immediately looked up at her: "You're really not angry?"

Su Muran nodded.

However, she looked directly at him and asked, "But there's something I'm curious about: why did you stand up for me?"

"Why do you think that is?"

Mu Tingshen asked in a low voice, deliberately countering the question.

Su Muran's heart pounded, and she quickly lowered her head to avoid his burning gaze, murmuring, "I don't know, I don't know."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment and then murmured, "Three years ago, I met a psychologist in Estonia. He told me that it's a sign of adult wisdom not to give your heart away too easily."

Mu Tingshen: "..."

Which bastard said that to her?

No wonder she seemed emotionally drained during this reunion; she had been manipulated by someone.

He grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up at him, and said in a serious and solemn tone, "Did he tell you that if you meet someone who is truly good to you, don't push them away? Isn't that a sign of adult awareness?"

Su Muran gazed into his deep eyes, where her own reflection was clearly visible, brimming with overwhelming emotions, and her heart nearly leaped out of her throat.

She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything.

Then Mu Tingshen continued, "Three years ago, we misunderstood each other and didn't want to take responsibility, so we left without saying goodbye. Now that misunderstanding has been cleared up. I ask you, if you had a chance to do it all over again, would you still want to take out that divorce agreement and divorce me?"

"I……"

Su Muran's mind was in a complete mess for a moment, and she didn't know how to respond.

Seeing her flustered and helpless appearance, Mu Tingshen couldn't bear to press her any further. He said in a low voice with a sigh, "I know you've suffered too many grievances before. It's okay, I can wait for you to slowly accept it, as long as you don't keep bringing up divorce all the time in the future."

"Our agreement..."

"There was no agreement, not three years ago, and not now; only the marriage certificate is real."

"If one day you find someone you want to be with more..."

Su Muran couldn't help but think of Meng Shuyan, wondering if one day she would become the next Meng Shuyan.

"I will tell you," Mu Tingshen said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will never deceive you in matters of the heart."

"Yes, I believe you. If one day I find someone I want to be with more, I will tell you."

Su Muran nodded, and to be fair, she also made a solemn promise to him.

However, Mu Tingshen was not happy because of her fairness.

Hearing that sentence hurt me deeply. I silently vowed in my heart that this person should never appear in my life again, or else he would be ruthless.

"Ranran, there's one more thing I need to tell you."

"Is there anything else?"

Su Muran was surprised; there were just too many things she had to confess today!

"Didn't I just tell you that I locked Su Mingli up for seven days..."

"I hope he doesn't starve to death!"

Su Muran asked in shock.

Mu Ting's heart tightened, and he quickly asked her, "During the seven days he locked you up, didn't he bring you anything to eat?"

Su Muran still felt lingering fear when she recalled that dark and hopeless period of her life.

She murmured, "He locked me up there and left, and never came back. That storage room was usually used to store odds and ends, and apart from my aunt occasionally going there to get things, my family rarely went there. My aunt didn't go there for those seven days. Luckily, I was afraid she might find a bag of expired biscuits in there, otherwise I don't know if I would have starved to death."

I only found out when I talked to Su Yunge that her aunt had taken leave and gone home those few days.

She only discovered that she was locked inside because her aunt was not home.

Mu Tingshen gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I was too kind; I even had someone send him food."

In reality, he only gave her one meal every seven days. It was because he knew that Su Muran hadn't done anything to him that he was happy and asked someone to give her some food so she wouldn't starve.

If I had known, I wouldn't have given it to them.

"So, he didn't starve to death, did he?"

Su Muran was more concerned about this issue.

"No, but he escaped and is now missing; we can't find him."

Mu Ting's face was grim as he plotted to find the man and lock him up for another seven days, this time without even giving him a sip of water.

Su Muran breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that he's not dead."

Mu Tingshen said unhappily, "He treated you like that, and you're still worried about him."

Su Muran explained, "I'm not worried about him, I'm worried that if something happens to him, my parents will be heartbroken. Especially my mother, she just had surgery and can't handle any more shocks. They raised me, I can't repay their kindness by ruining their only son."

That's why she preferred to run away rather than tell the truth.

She couldn't stop Su Mingli from destroying himself, but she absolutely couldn't let her words destroy him.

"If your parents also supported your relationship with him, would you agree to it?"

Mu Tingshen was still bothered by Professor Su's suggestion last time. Although he already knew the answer, he still wanted to confirm it again.

What do you think?

Su Muran hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his cheek, her ears turning red as she asked him shyly.
