Chapter 114 Brave Confession
Chapter 114 Brave Confession
The next day, Luo Jiuyu brought over a bound book of personal real estate information.
He had Bai Ning organize all of this.
The presentation is in PPT format, with text explanations and multiple pictures of the house.
"Choose one you like from among them," he said, wanting to transfer the property to her.
These properties were his premarital personal property and have nothing to do with her legally.
He wanted to transfer the property to her name. These things were external to him, but for her, they might represent a sense of security he could offer.
She flipped through the booklet and teased him, "What if I like them all?"
"Then you can have it all."
"I don't want it. Managing so many properties is too much trouble. I just want this home in the northern suburbs, is that okay?"
"can."
"Brother Lorne, I like you."
"Sweetie, what did you say?"
In the president's office of Xinghai Group, Mu Sitian mustered up her courage to confess her feelings to Lorne.
In the vast room, she could hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
bang bang...
So fast, so powerful.
“Brother Lorne, I’ve liked you since junior high. You’ve always only had eyes for my sister and never noticed me.”
Her cheeks were flushed. Her two beautiful almond-shaped eyes blinked.
Lorne was a little confused.
"How could that be? I'm so much older than you, I've always treated you like a little sister."
She was several years younger than his own sister, and Lorne couldn't imagine that she would fall in love with him.
She looked at him and said, "I'm not as pretty as Mu Siran, nor as talented, but I've always been watching you carefully, and my feelings for you are genuine."
Lorne's face remained etched with shock for a long time.
Her palms were sweating with nervousness.
But I seem to have heard Hua Meimei say something like, "Try your best, at least you tried."
Lorne rubbed his temples and spoke earnestly to Mousse, "Sweetie, you're still too young and your mind isn't settled yet. The person you like now might just be the one you imagine me to be. In a few years, when you look back at me, I might not be the person you want."
"I don't want to worry about the future, I just want to love in the present. If you think I can be your girlfriend, then let's be together."
God knows how much courage it took for her to say those words!
Her eyes were fixed on his face, as if afraid of missing any subtle expression.
Lorne did not avoid her burning gaze.
Even if he no longer likes Mu Siran, he won't accept Mu Sitian indiscriminately.
"I'm sorry, I don't think we can."
"Why? You don't like me at all?"
She pressed further, "Not even the slightest bit of affection?"
He said, "I'm sorry, Tian Tian, I can't be with you. Seeing you reminds me of Mu Siran, and I don't like that kind of entanglement."
If he wants Mu Siran to disappear from his world completely, then he needs to reduce contact with the Mu family.
He couldn't date Mu Siran's sister. He just couldn't.
Mousse Sweet had already imagined that she would receive this answer.
But when I actually heard it, even though I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help but feel defeated, and I was incredibly sad.
She forced a calm smile, "Okay, I understand, Brother Lorne. I'm not good enough for you anyway. I wish you happiness! From the bottom of my heart!"
"Tiantian..."
She ran out.
I held back my tears and ran into the elevator before letting them fall.
I cried the whole way.
She stopped the car halfway there.
There is a riverside park nearby.
The Zhenlongtai residential area is located on the other side of the river.
"Meimei, where are you?" She looked in the direction of Zhenlongtai Community and called Hua Meimei.
Hearing her choked voice, Hua Meimei asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Tian Tian?"
"Can you come out and keep me company?"
"Where are you?" Hua Meimei is at the villa in the northern suburbs, which is too far from the city.
"I'm in the park across the Zhenlongtai River." Mu Sitian couldn't hold back anymore and started sobbing.
"I live far away and can't get there right away. I'll ask Ling'er. Wait for my call."
After comforting her, Hua Meimei quickly called Xia Ling'er.
Xia Ling'er happened to be free, so she went ahead to keep Mu Sitian company.
"I need to go back to the city," Hua Meimei said to Luo Jiuyu, hurrying to grab her coat.
Luo Jiuyu followed behind her, saying, "I'll go back with you."
"Yes, but you can't come with me to see them. Sweetie is in a bad mood, and we have something to talk about privately."
“Okay. Amo and Liu Bin asked me to go drinking, but I refused. Since you're not going to come with me, I'll go find them.”
The two drove back to the city from the northern suburbs. They would stay at Zhenlongtai tonight.
Luo Jiuyu went to Lanyang Club.
Hua Meimei drove herself to find Mousse Sweet and Xia Ling'er.
In a corner of the park, Berry found them. Mousse's emotions had calmed down, though the tear stains on her face were still wet.
"I was rejected after confessing my feelings," Xia Ling'er told Hua Meimei.
Hua Meimei looked at Mousse Sweet, "Are you still sad?"
"I knew I wasn't good enough for him. It's okay, I already guessed this would happen." Mu Sitian smiled bitterly.
She patted Mousse's head and comforted her, "What's this about being a good match or not? It's all about whether you love each other or not. If he doesn't love you, you can love someone else. You don't have to hang yourself on one tree. If you've tried your best, there's no need for regrets."
Xia Ling'er said, "Yes, at least you were brave enough to confess and fought for your own chance."
After saying that, Xia Ling'er felt a pang of sadness, realizing that she didn't even have the courage to confess her feelings.
Hua Meimei noticed Xia Ling'er's change in expression and quickly asked her, "You don't happen to have someone you like but are too afraid to confess, do you?"
"How did you know?!" Xia Ling'er exclaimed in surprise.
“Your expression betrays you! Tell me quickly, who do you like?” Hua Meimei walked over and grabbed Xia Ling’er’s hand.
Mousse's attention was drawn to Xia Ling'er's gossip, "Ling'er, you actually have someone you have a crush on?"
"Why can't I have a crush on someone?" Xia Ling'er blinked guiltily.
"A beautiful female celebrity actually has a crush on someone else. Tell me, which male celebrity is it?" Hua Meimei pressed, her gossip instincts kicking in.
Mousse Sweet also came to ask.
Xia Ling'er refused to speak, so they tickled her armpits.
Xia Ling'er almost burst out laughing, so she had no choice but to confess: "You know Meimei too!"
"Who?" Berry stopped scratching herself.
“It’s… Liu Bin…” Xia Ling’er’s voice was low.
Berry and Mousse looked at each other in bewilderment. What a terrible coincidence!
"Do you two know each other?" the two asked Xia Ling'er in unison.
Xia Ling'er awkwardly smoothed her hair. "He was my senior in college. He confessed his feelings to me, but I didn't accept him at the time."
Mousse felt regretful: "Since you like him too, why didn't you say yes?"
"I... I had just entered the entertainment industry and didn't have time to date. At that time, the company didn't allow dating either."
"Wow, Liu Bin and you have this connection." Hua Meimei laughed excitedly, "I'll drag you to confess your feelings today."
"Hey hey hey... I'm not going!"
Mousse Sweet: "I failed to confess my feelings today. If you fail, we'll be a perfect match."
Xia Ling'er: "What if I succeed?"
Hua Meimei: "It's perfect that you're treating me to dinner; it'll comfort Tian Tian."
"Shall I treat you to dinner too?"
"Of course, I'll take you to see Liu Bin right now!"
