Zhao Anan tiptoed out of her room and placed her ears against Zheng Lun’s room. After a long while, she frowned and mumbled. “Why is it so quiet? That is weird. Could it be that Zheng Jing is incapable?”
Standing by her side, Mu Qing found it amusing and annoying.
She had walked out of her room to eavesdrop??
Even if that was the case, she should have tried Jing Yichen and Shangguan Ning’s room, not Zheng Jing’s!
They were siblings and there definitely would not be anything going on.
Was Zhao Anan brain-damaged today?
Mu Qing shook his head and then scooped Zhao Anan up from the floor and carried her back to the bedroom.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Anan didn’t struggle at being carried off. Instead, she kept mumbling, “What is it going on? Is Zheng Jing a real man to resist a beautiful girl?”
Mu Qing found what she said quite irritating. “Honestly, Zhao Anan, whether or not Zheng Jing is a real man has nothing to do with you. What you need to do is to make sure I am a real man. That is all you have to worry about.”
Zhao Anan came back to herself, but she refused to explain the fact that Zheng Lun liked Zheng Jing, because she had made a promise to keep it a secret. She would not spill a thing to Mu Qing.
“Alright, Alright, let’s go back to sleep. But I need the bed, so you can take the sofa.”
There was a sofa in her bedroom, but it was a one-person sofa meant for sitting, not for lying down. Sleeping there would be very uncomfortable.
Zhao Anan was just about to climb on the bed when Mu Qing dragged her back.
“What are you doing? Let’s sleep now. Don’t take advantage of me! You had forced me earlier but today we are at my home, and you are not allowed…”
Before Zhao Anan finished the words, she saw Mu Qing getting down on one knee.
Zhao Anan suddenly realised what was happening.
Mu Qing scooped out a red box from his pocket. He opened the box and presented it to Zhao Anan and said seriously, “Anan, I love you. Will you marry me? I want to stay by your side for the rest of our lives.”
This was the real reason why Mu Qing didn’t want to share the bed with Zheng Jing tonight.
He had planned to pop the question to Zhao Anan on her birthday.
Mu Qing’s serious words went deep down into the bottom of Zhao Anan’s heart. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the dazzling diamond ring. Then her heart started to beat at a breakneck speed.
She hadn’t expected that Mu Qing would pop the question so quickly.
Was it too soon?
No, not really. She had been looking forward to this day for ten years!
But for the rest of their lives?
Mu Qing, I have no idea how much longer will I live for. There is no such thing as the rest of my life!
The cancer had resurfaced twice in the past ten years. As I grow older, the cancer would resurface more frequently. I am not sure how much longer can I hold on for.
Chemotherapy was very painful. The anti-cancer shots went directly into the marrow.
At that time, every single day was miserable. She couldn’t eat or sleep. Every part of her ached…
The German doctor had told her that after two high impact sessions of chemotherapy, it would be highly unlikely that she could get pregnant ever.
I mustn’t be so selfish to ruin your lifetime happiness because of my sickness.
Mu Qing, I love you so much that I want to leave you so that you can lead a happy life.
If any woman comes to your side in the future, I would definitely get very jealous. But I am not going to appear in front of you again or ruin your life and make you sad.
Zhao Anan couldn’t stop the tears which trickled down her cheeks.
The tears landed on the back of Mu Qing’s hand that was holding the diamond. His heart ached at the sight of those tears.
He knew pretty well what Zhao Anan’s expression meant. He covered her mouth with his palm and said anxiously, “Zhao Anan, you are not allowed to turn me down. If you ever turn me down again, I will die right in front of you!”
Zhao Anan couldn’t say anything with his hands over her mouth. But she kept shaking her head.
She rarely cried, but tonight, her tears kept gushing out of her eyes.
Mu Qing took out the ring and placed it upon Zhao Anan’s third finger of her left hand. Then he carried her up to the bed and threw himself at her.
He wiped off Zhao Anan’s tears and covered her mouth with his lips so that she couldn’t say a word.
A long time later, Mu Qing stopped.
A drop of tears trickled down alongside his eye corner as he spoke in a low growl. “Zhao Anan, if you are still a goddamned woman, you must not turn me down. You are stuck with me for your entire life. I forbid you to withdraw!”
“Mu, I…”
“Shut up!” Mu Qing’s eyes were bloodshot. His handsome, sunny face was full of fury and he didn’t sound like his usual jovial self. “You are not allowed to say anything tonight. I don’t need any explanation and I am open to none. What I want to hear from you is nothing other than ‘I will’!”
“To hell with that I can’t marry you!”
Mu Qing cursed furiously as he started to rip off Zhao Anan’s clothes.
“You are not sick in the womb. You are sick in the head! You are completely healthy now and you still assume that you are dying. Can’t you just wait until you really get sick? I am a god damn doctor. I can cure you. Cancer is nothing, I can cure anything as long as it is not damned heartlessness.”
Whenever Mu Qing got furious, Zhao Anan always became very quiet.
Mu Qing barely lost his temper. He was a patient man who did whatever she wanted and tolerated whatever she did. Zhao Anan could bully him or scold him in whichever way she wanted and he would accept it all.
But when he was really angry, Zhao Anan got very scared.
His anger was terrifying and heart-breaking at the same time.
Her heart ached for Mu Qing in this situation.
He was a legendary man of A City who had become a prestigious doctor at such a young age. He had become a respectable director of an enormous hospital all by himself.
He never shed tears, but now he was.
Zhao Anan’s heart ached a great deal. Tears again gushed out of her eyes, making Mu Qing scold her again.
“What are you crying for? I am not dead. No more crying now. You are only allowed to cry when I am dead, otherwise no tears for anything or anyone.
He got angry as he completely stripped Zhao Anan. Before she realized it, he had entered her.
Zhao Anan frowned and let out a low cry. “It hurts!”
She had just finished speaking when Mu Qing spanked her hard, making Zhao Anan again let out a cry. “It hurts!”
Mu Qing spoke through clenched teeth, “Zhao Anan, do you know how it feels like being hurt? Do you know how much it hurts when you keep stabbing my heart?”
