"Ruozhen." Mu Jilian looked at her affectionately, her deep eyes less careless than before and became serious, even a little serious.

"What for?" Ruozhen curled her lips and replied to him.

He took off the slippers from her feet, pulled her to the center of the bed and let her get up.

He and she sat face to face in the middle of the bed. He was silent for a long time, his eyes staring straight at the woman opposite, seeming a little stunned.

He was silent and looked a little serious, which made her a little confused.

"Ruozhen, I think we have reached the point where we can talk to each other and talk about everything."

His sudden words made Ruozhen's heart sink, and there were a few ripples between her thin brows.

"Ruozhen, I like you, I like the feeling of being with you, and I like sharing my emotions with you, joy, sadness... even the most private things."

Mu Jilian's words and his serious look made her heart tremble. She knew what he meant, but she didn't know how to express it to him. She couldn't say it directly. She didn't like Zheng Xue, and she didn't like Zheng Xue looking at him.

look in her eyes. This is not something she would do. She is not

Such a domineering person, she knew that Zheng Xue was just his secretary, and even if she didn't like him, she wouldn't force him to do anything. However, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, and she thought that falling in love with such a slow man was a big deal.

She brought it upon herself, but she loved it.

Mu Jilian took her cold hand and put it in her palm. The room was heated, but the woman's hand still couldn't be warmed, so he could only use his warmth to warm her.

"Ruozhen, we have gone through so much, what else can't be said? Is it possible that you have something to hide from me?"

Ruozhen swallowed and then uttered, "I don't have anything that I can't hide."

"Then why did you make a bad face to me all night? We were fine when we were in Spring City." Mu Jilian asked after him. No matter what, he was going to find out what the problem was today.

The reason why lovers break up is because the relationship between them becomes intense little by little from this subtle point, and then explodes towards death.

He and Ruozhen have gone through so much, and he hopes that the relationship between them will be like an evergreen tree, long-lasting, and make them feel like they are in love every day.

"Just think of me as menopausal." Ruozhen took her hand out of his and replied perfunctorily.

"Even if I'm menopausal, you can't dislike me. Besides, you're only a few years old, so don't use such excuses to deal with it." Mu Jilian threw off her coat domineeringly, pulled her and got into bed.

Ruozhen had been traveling for a day and didn't have much energy to bother with it, so she let him go.

"Are you warm?" He put her little ice-like feet between his thighs, and hugged her body with two iron-wall-like hands.

Ruozhen leaned her head on his broad shoulder, her lips opened slightly, "Warm."

He surrounded her like a big furnace, how could she not be warm?

"Do you know why I am willing to come back with you?" Ruozhen put her hand under his armpit, absorbing more warmth from his body.

"Why? Because of Xiaobao?" He lowered his eyes and raised his eyebrows from her.

"Xiaobao is only part of it."

"What else?" He followed her lead and wanted to hear more answers from her, and this answer was about him, which would make him extremely happy.

"I am willing to follow my heart. I think you will be good to me in the future, we will be happy together, and we can work hard to build a relationship together. This reason accounts for half of it."

Mu Jilian lowered her head and gave her a deep kiss.

"Zhenzhen, we will be happy in the future." He looked at her with burning eyes.

"I believe it too." Ruozhen responded with a smile on her lips, "I believe you can do it just by me."

"Ruozhen, no matter it was five years ago or five years later, I will only have you. Whether you want to believe it or not."

Ruozhen blinked, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, "Five years ago... weren't you a popular lover?"

When Mu Jilian heard what she said, her face turned slightly red, almost inaudibly, "That's just a newspaper write-up. You also know that what reporters love to do most is make up things."

"Then there must be something for them to make up." Ruozhen didn't let him go and continued talking.

"Truly, I am innocent, as can be seen from the sun and the moon."

"The book says that anything a man says in bed cannot be trusted." Ruozhen poked his stiff chest with her finger, as if warning, but also intimate.

"Then if I tell you on the ground, you should believe it, right?"

"It's just you who is so glib."

"That's just for you." Mu Jilian slid down a little, half of Ruozhen's body was on his body and naturally followed him down until she was lying on the bed smoothly.

The two of them slept on the same bed, covered with the same quilt, as if they had returned to the scene five years ago. At that time, they were both stubborn. Even if they liked each other, they both hurt each other. Five years ago, they were very

It was hard to imagine that one day they would sleep together peacefully and talk about the truest feelings in their hearts. At that time, it was almost too late for her to avoid him, so she would still think about these things.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you something." Ruozhen turned her head, with a nasal voice like a lazy kitten.

Mu Jilian supported her head with one hand, and helped her pull the hair covering her face behind her ears with the other hand. She curled her lips and said, "Say."

"When did you fall in love with me?" It seems that this topic is asked by every romantic couple, and Ruozhen is no exception.

She just stared at him like this, and could clearly see every expression on his face. She looked at his red face and felt happy. She didn't expect that a man like Mu Jilian could blush.

There must be something fishy in this. She guessed that before she confessed to him, he had already...? The more she thought about this, the happier she felt, and at the same time there was a little anger, because - how could he be like this?

Mensao!?

"Speak quickly! Leniency will be given if you are honest, strict if you resist." Ruozhen originally wanted to pull his collar to warn him, but she didn't know when this man took off all his clothes, causing her to touch him now.

The strong muscles cannot be lifted even if they are squeezed, and it breaks my neck.

"A good man never mentions his bravery." Mu Jilian grabbed her hand to prevent her from causing trouble on her body.

"What kind of a hero are you? All you did to me were nasty things!" Ruozhen curled her lips in disdain, thinking that back then, he bullied her so badly that she should take revenge at all costs!

"Those are all things in the past, how about we not mention it?" Men are most afraid of women bringing up old scores, especially if they are like Wen Xiang Nephrite in their arms now, if a woman admits her mistake and has a bad attitude, then the duck she got will fly away.

Gone.

"Why don't you mention it? I still want to make a list? Let you know what it means to settle accounts after the fall." Ruozhen grabbed the spot on his chest and exerted force. Mu Jilian didn't feel any pain, but it just made her feel uncomfortable.

That desire ~ the fire dragon.

"No, don't change the subject for me. Tell me when you fell in love with me?" Ruozhen found that he had taken her away from the subject, so she reluctantly brought it up again.

"Do you really want to say it?" He looked pitiful, but he didn't get her sympathy.

She nodded affirmatively, just to hear his truth. Because his words would give her reassurance about their relationship. After all, she was no different, she just wanted a promise from him. Because Zheng Xue

The reason made her stable heart start to panic.

"A long, long time ago." Mu Jilian turned sideways and took her earlobe in her mouth and said vaguely.

"How long? How long? Five years ago?" Ruozhen realized that her last words were nonsense. If Mu Jilian hadn't fallen in love with her in five years, he wouldn't have been so entangled with her five years later.

"It's been longer than five years ago..." He expressed his truest feelings in a calm voice.

"Have we... met before?" Ruozhen frowned slightly. In her impression, her first encounter with Mu Jilian should have started on the day of Wu Ping's wedding. She had always known Mu Ji before.

Lian, because he is a music master, he is considered a public figure, but how could she, an ordinary person, fall under his master's eyes?

"I've seen it before. It's just that you forgot." Mu Jilian told her firmly, moving forward slightly and pecked her lips again.

Ruozhen was a little confused and asked quickly, "When did we meet? Why didn't I know?"

"It was my birthday at the place where I bought desserts. My father finally found time to accompany me and took me to pick up the birthday cake. But at that time, there was a little girl who kept staring at the things in my hands. When I was about to go out,

When she was there, she reached out and grabbed my clothes. I will always remember her eyes at that time, which were watery and cute, as if she could talk."

"That little girl can't be me, right?" Ruozhen couldn't help but widen her eyes. She didn't believe what he said. After all, she had no impression of her at all.

"That's you."

"How are you sure? What if you recognized the wrong person? If you really recognized the wrong person, when you find the real girl in the future..." Her voice became softer and softer, and she became less and less confident, because she couldn't stand him.

Abandoning her for another woman was enough for her to experience this bone-gnawing pain once in her life. If it happened again, she probably wouldn't be able to bear it.

"Fool!" Mu Jilian pinched her small nose, "Even if you admit your mistake, it is a matter of youth. I will not leave you and Xiaobao behind. My heart is all about you.

Then why bother thinking about others? Besides, I won't admit the wrong person, especially if that person is you."

"Because you held on to my clothes and refused to let me go, and then your mother came over. She took you away, but then she met my father... As for what happened next, my memory is very blurry.

, I only know that there was a girl in that dessert shop, and I remember her eyes."

Ruozhen felt a little overwhelmed when she listened to his description. Although she still didn't remember what Mu Jilian said, she knew about the reunion between Wu Ping and Mu Jinsen. The reunion between them should have started there.

It started as a dessert shop.

"It turns out it was me that made my mother and your father meet again." Ruozhen pouted, feeling a little astringent in her heart. She couldn't tell what it was like, but it was definitely not pleasant.

"I haven't told you this all the time, just because I'm afraid of putting a mental burden on you. The entanglement between your mother and my father is destined for them. Without your relationship, even if you didn't hold me back that day, my father would sooner or later fight with you.

Mom meets. City A says it’s big or small, but it’s easy for two acquaintances to meet.”

"Then do you still hate my mother?" Ruozhen also propped up her head with her hands and looked at him softly.

"If I still hate her, then I won't fall in love with you. How can I love her if I have hatred in my heart? If I don't hate her, I have stopped hating her a long time ago. It can be said that I have never hated her at all, but I just don't love her in my heart.

I just like it. I don’t like her coming in and taking away my mother’s status in the Mu family. Look at her

In the Mu family, I felt a little guilty for my dead mother. My mother loved me very much, but I didn't even hold on to her position as the mistress of the Mu family... What about you? You still feel uncomfortable with them now.
