Shi Nianyao was stunned.
She felt as if she understood what Mo Xicheng had said but, at the same time, she totally had no idea what he was talking about.
She looked at him dazedly and after a while, she asked a really stupid question, “Why- why do we have to go to the city hall?”
Mo Xicheng was shocked and rendered speechless.
He stopped for a moment and continued, “To register our marriage. Will you go?”
Shi Nianyao was at a loss for words.
Shi Nianyao stared at Mo Xicheng and heard him say slowly, “Nianyao, are you willing to marry me? Under these circumstances?”
Shi Nianyao swallowed and, after a few seconds, she made a sound of understanding.
Mo Xicheng stared ahead and continued, “In the past, I never wanted to get married because I knew that I was living in darkness. I didn’t want my other half to be with me… until I met you.”
Mo Xicheng paused for a while. In his melancholic eyes, there were indissolubly thick emotions. “I had never known that liking a person, loving a person, could make someone so worried about losing the person they love. Do you know what I was thinking as I took you home?”
Shi Nianyao shook her head.
Mo Xicheng turned his head to look at her and said, “I was thinking that if there is a day where you get tired of me and my mom, and really leave me…”
His voice was really low. That pleasing voice of his brought along an unexplained sorrow.
It was sad to listen to.
Shi Nianyao looked at her idol. After a while, she stuck her hand out and grabbed his as she said, “Mo Xicheng.”
Mo Xicheng turned his head to look at her. Her eyes were glistening with passion and excitement—they shone and people couldn’t resist getting close . She said, “Ok, tomorrow at 9 a.m. at the city hall, see you there.”
Mo Xicheng was shocked and speechless again.
Mo Xicheng widened his eyes in shock and stared at her in disbelief.
At first, it was just that he had felt really insecure after all that had happened with Yao Lili today, and he had said that on impulse.
Never would he have thought that Shi Nianyao would agree to it and actually agree to it so decisively.
Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes and stared at her. Then he stuck out his hand and pulled her into his embrace.
At the same time, he quietly swore in his heart.
Nianyao was the person who had walked into his life when it had been at its worst. Thus, no matter how tough the rest of his life would be, he would not let go of her hands.
He would use the rest of his life to treat her well.
He knew that it was very selfish of him to do so. But he also knew that if Yao Lili didn’t agree to their marriage, they would really fail to be together after the people from the Shi family found out.
It was better for him to take action first. He had no choice but to do so, so he could be with Nianyao in the end.
After he had these thoughts, Mo Xicheng was even more sure. He looked at Shi Nianyao, nodded after a while and said, “See you tomorrow.”
Shi Nianyao then smiled and alighted from Mo Xicheng’s car. She waved to him and said, “Go back quick.”
Seeing her smile, Mo Xicheng didn’t really feel like leaving. He wanted to keep being with her but if he didn’t leave, the people in the house could also see him through the surveillance camera.
So he could only leave obediently.
Even after Mo Xicheng’s car was out of sight, Shi Nianyao was still staring in his direction with her neck stretched and head stuck out. Just at that moment, a voice spoke behind her, “He’s already long gone, what are you still looking at?”
