"Are you okay, Dongqing?" Grid was so scared that he threw the water he had just bought in his hand.
"It's okay, it's okay, Gezi. Maybe the weather is too hot." Dongqing didn't want Gezi to worry.Gezi helped her to a public chair to rest, then went back to the newsstand to buy water. Dongqing sat on the chair, her mind filled with thoughts about who Mosen really was. She used to think that Mosen's identity was mysterious, but now he seemed even more elusive and sinister. Dongqing couldn't accept it. No, she had to go and ask for clarification.With this in mind, Dongqing stood up to leave, forgetting about Gezi. Gezi, who had returned with the water, saw this and hurried to catch up, handing her the bottle of water. "Dongqing, are you still feeling dizzy? Are you feeling any better?"Dongqing took the water and reassured her, "I'm fine, Gezi. I want to go back and rest, the weather is too hot. You should go back too, don't stay out in the sun, hurry back.""I'll take you back, I'm worried about you like this." Gezi didn't give her a chance to refuse, and hailed a taxi, pulling Dongqing into it."Driver, 'Ruitian' Hotel." Gezi glanced at Dongqing, lost in thought.Outside the gates of the 'Ruitian' Hotel, Gezi watched as Dongqing entered before finally leaving, feeling relieved.Dongqing, in a daze, arrived at Mosen's room and stood there for a while, raising her hand and then putting it down, repeating this several times before finally turning and leaving. She didn't know how to ask Mosen, and she didn't know if he would answer the questions in her heart. What if Mosen said what she suspected and thought? How would she deal with her feelings then? So, at this moment, Dongqing chose to escape.Wandering outside, Dongqing forgot about time and place, until she felt a familiar hand grab hers. She knew who it was without a word, and let that person lead her.Back in the hotel, Dongqing entered the bedroom and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Every moment from the day she met Mosen until now played out in her mind like a mini movie, projected onto the white ceiling. The night she saved him, when Mosen coldly and cruelly removed the bullet from his shoulder, Dongqing was so scared she couldn't bear to look. At HD Zhuotingting's dilemma, Mosen turned a blind eye, leaving her in a desperate situation and not even getting paid. At Jiaolong, when Huangmao slapped her, Mosen took Huangmao's life. In the villa, she was so afraid of the dark night that she ran into Mosen's room and ended up sleeping in his bed the next day...
Until last night, everything that happened, Mo Sen risked his life for her alone. She no longer hesitated, letting down her guard and falling into his embrace. Mo Sen was everything to her, but would he truly belong to her? She was afraid, afraid of Mo Sen... No, she had to ask clearly. She didn't believe that Mo Sen was the strange person she imagined in her heart. She got up and walked towards the study, knowing that Mo Sen was there. Pushing open the door, she entered and saw Mo Sen standing by the window, just like last night. "What do you want to know, ask away." Mo Sen turned around, but Dong Qing couldn't read the color of his pupils. Mo Sen's gaze was as cold and lonely as moonlight, making her feel a sense of distance. Dong Qing's heart tightened, in pain. She shouldn't doubt Mo Sen. Since she had decided to follow him, she should believe in everything about him. Did her thoughts hurt him? "I'm sorry." Dong Qing's heart was in pain, as if suffocating. "I'm not an ordinary person." Mo Sen's gaze was self-deprecating. "Dong Qing, are you afraid of me?" Dong Qing was speechless for a moment. She didn't want to know, but Mo Sen insisted on telling her.
"Stop talking, I don't want to know. What I want to know is if you meant it when you said you would marry me? Do you truly want to marry me?" Dong Qing didn't want Mo Sen to bring up his painful past, as people like them already lived a tiring life.She only knew that she had fallen in love with Mo Sen. If he was willing to marry her, that was enough. Nothing else mattered.Mo Sen looked at her for a moment, a hint of disgust in the corner of his mouth. "I don't need your pity." After saying this, Mo Sen turned to face the window, his face pale and his expression desolate.What has this man been through? Dong Qing's heart ached, and she walked up to Mo Sen's back, pressing her face against it. She could feel Mo Sen's body tremble slightly."I have fallen in love with this feeling, what about you?" Dong Qing pressed her face against Mo Sen's back.Mo Sen didn't answer, and Dong Qing's bright eyes gradually darkened. Mo Sen's silence gave her the answer she needed."I will be returning to T City tomorrow."In an instant, Dong Qing's expression froze and her body stiffened."Dong Qing, before last night and before you said those things to me, my purpose for coming to X City was to take you back. I wanted to control you and keep you by my side. But now, I choose to respect you and not force you. You know everything now. Meet me at 'Tianhu' tomorrow night, I'll wait for you until nine o'clock." Mo Sen turned around, his deep eyes showing no emotion. He fixed the strands of hair that had fallen on Dong Qing's face. "Go eat and rest well. I won't accompany you tonight."Mo Sen sat down on the leather chair and started working on the documents on his desk. Dong Qing silently looked at him and then went back to the bedroom. She understood that tonight would be a long and agonizing night for both her and Mo Sen.
Not eating, Dongqing didn't feel hungry. After taking a shower, she lay alone on the large bed, unable to sleep. Dongqing didn't realize when she had gotten used to having Mosen by her side. She had unknowingly fallen into his embrace.Mosen's choices were really difficult to make, and Dongqing struggled to make a decision. She had come back to spend more time with her sick father and elderly grandmother. If she chose to go back with Mosen, how could she face her father? Would she have to lie again? And even if she did, could she face them afterwards? She would feel guilty towards her father and grandmother. But if she didn't go back with Mosen, would everything between them end? Dongqing didn't want to give up her feelings for Mosen. He was the first man, besides her father and grandmother, to truly care for her.Her heart was torn between the two options, and Dongqing tossed and turned in bed. Finally, she got up and stood by the window, looking at the enchanting night outside in silence.In the study, Mosen had no motivation to work. He had never been so scared and nervous before. He could only pretend to be melancholic and look out the window as usual. Would Dongqing go back with him?Mosen lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly, feeling like time was passing by too slowly.A wall separated the two lovers, and the long night was filled with confusion.
