Chu Yihong looked at the determined gaze of Chu Mucheng and suddenly felt a chill down his spine, his face turning ashen.
It turned out that his son had already seen through his affair with Su Linxue, yet he had always believed it was foolproof!
Ha! At this very moment, he felt he couldn’t hold his head up in front of his son as a father.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Yihong asked, "Mucheng, you say you like Xiaoyu, but... does Xiaoyu fancy you?"
"Rest assured, as long as you agree to our marriage, I will find every possible way... to make her fall in love with me!"
In the living room, Su Linxue looked at An Xiaoyu with a myriad of emotions.
She never expected this sort of situation today.
Truth be told, she always saw Chu Mucheng as a bit willful, a bit arrogant, a bit domineering, and what mattered more was that the number of girls he had dated... was a bit too many.
Of course, for a man like Chu Mucheng, with his status and identity, these things weren’t much of an issue.
But Chu Mucheng’s sudden announcement of wanting to marry Xiaoyu still shocked Su Linxue.
Over the years, she had also felt the estrangement Chu Mucheng had towards her.
After all, being a stepmother is tough.
When she married Chu Yihong, Chu Mucheng was already seven years old and understood a lot.
Seeing that little boy standing in his black tailcoat under the ceremony platform, looking at her indifferently, she knew that the child held a grudge against her.
Later, she tried hard to improve her relationship with Chu Mucheng, but it never turned out to be very effective.
It was a different case with Chu Mushan; she was still young, so with some affection from her, she eventually changed her attitude towards Su Linxue, even calling her "mom" sweetly on her good days.
But then, when she brought An Xiaoyu over... Chu Mucheng showed such blatant hostility towards Xiaoyu, even more obvious than when she had just married into the Chu Family!
She wondered if that child had transferred all his animosity towards her... onto his daughter.
Later, she compromised for the sake of peace, turning a blind eye to Chu Mucheng’s overt bullying of An Xiaoyu.
She knew she was wronging her daughter, but what else could she do?
After all, Chu Mucheng was Chu Yihong’s son; all she could do was to endure.
For the sake of her relationship with Chu Yihong, for this hard-earned marriage, she could only sacrifice her own daughter.
But now, Chu Mucheng was actually saying... he wanted to marry Xiaoyu; it was like a bolt out of the blue.
Why would Chu Mucheng want to marry Xiaoyu?
She couldn’t understand, but the first thought that came to mind was whether Chu Mucheng was going to continue his revenge on her in this way? After all, Su Linxue had seen with her own eyes the various ways Chu Mucheng had treated Xiaoyu before, and if Chu Mucheng wanted to use marriage as a means to continue tormenting Xiaoyu...
This thought made Su Linxue’s heart skip a beat.
However, seeing the wounds on Chu Mucheng’s forehead and hands, and knowing that he had saved Xiaoyu’s life, Su Linxue’s heart was a blur.
The actions of Chu Mucheng, this child, were somewhat incomprehensible to her.
What exactly does he feel for Xiaoyu...?
An Xiaoyu, watching Chu Mucheng follow Chu Yihong to the study, knew that father and son were bound to have a lengthy discussion. Chapters fırst released on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
She said to Su Linxue, "Mom, I don’t understand why Chu Mucheng would suddenly say such things, but an association with Chu Mucheng is impossible for me, and I won’t agree to marry him. Thus, you just need to make it clear to Uncle Chu!"
