Chapter 1382: Chapter 1535: Turned Into a Little Mute?
Chu Mucheng’s gaze was deep yet filled with a faint smile.
At this moment, the little woman in front of him clearly felt wronged, yet she was unwilling to admit it.
Alright, she had her pride too...
He gently lifted her chin, gazing into her eyes.
"These past few days, there was work at the company. I went abroad for business, only got back this morning... Yesterday, after I finished my work, I wanted to call you. But when I looked at the time, you should’ve been sleeping, so I didn’t call! Because I was afraid of disturbing your rest."
As Chu Mucheng’s words fell, Tao Zhixiang stared at him in a daze.
Was that the case?
Chu Mucheng hadn’t come because he went abroad for business?
Seeing her shocked expression, Chu Mucheng continued, "Do you believe me when I say this?"
Tao Zhixiang felt an intense tremor in her heart, and her mind seemed to be swirling with tidal waves, preventing her from calmly thinking, leaving her only to gaze at him.
"What, have you become a little mute? Hm?"
Chu Mucheng’s eyes were gentle as he tenderly caressed her cheek.
Under his gentle gaze, Tao Zhixiang felt all her grievances churning, wanting to burst out from her heart.
Believe him, how could she not?
Chu Mucheng had never been so gentle in explaining things to her, and before, they never communicated like this.
Yet today, Chu Mucheng patiently explained so much to her!
Why was that?
It seemed like something had truly changed between them!
Just when she wanted to let go, to stop loving him, he was this gentle, this deeply affectionate towards her... Tao Zhixiang felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
To love or not to love?
What choice should she make?
Tao Zhixiang’s eyes were filled with pain and hesitation, and at this difficult decision point, she still felt somewhat anxious and uneasy.
If she chose to continue loving, would their relationship become closer, take a step forward?
She didn’t know, nor was she sure, nor confident.
Because the distance between them... was so vast.
If she chose not to love anymore, should she now draw a line with Chu Mucheng?
If so, she could find a place to live tomorrow, move out, and from then on, go separate ways.
Of course, she would repay the medical expenses she owed him, even if it took a lifetime!
Tao Zhixiang hesitated, unable to decide, but once she thought about the reason Chu Mucheng gave for not spending the holiday with her, her heart softened.
What should she do? What should she do?
At this moment, he was telling her such things!
How could Chu Mucheng not see her hesitation now?
She remained silent, without a word, what was she thinking?
Did she really want to cut ties with him completely and never interact again?
At this thought, Chu Mucheng’s heart became a bit flustered, and he dominantly commanded:
"Tao Zhixiang, take back those ridiculous thoughts. You are my woman, I won’t allow you to leave me, not even to have such a thought! Do you hear me!"
Chu Mucheng dominantly gazed at her, his burning gaze filled with desire and an undeniable firmness.
Chu Mucheng locked his eyes on the little woman before him.
This woman, she was his!
She was such a contradictory yet special existence, making him reluctant to part, hard to let go.
His world had always been under his control, skillful and at ease, until she appeared—this unique her.
In this world, there would never be another her!
Her appearance had already disrupted his life, yet made it impossible for him to give up.
"You are mine, and from now on, don’t even think about leaving me! Tell me..."
Tao Zhixiang was stunned, he forced her to say such things at this moment...
Not to think about leaving him?
"I won’t say it!"
At this moment, her emotions were so complicated, what did it mean for him to dominantly make her say such words?
Her resistance made Chu Mucheng’s heart clutch, and all his calmness shattered into pieces.
"Do not smile at He Muyang!"
"Do not be alone with him!"
"Do not have meals with him!"
"Do not let him see your beauty!"
"Do not fall for him!"
"Do not speak to him so gently!"
"...Do not, do not leave me!"
When these words fell into Tao Zhixiang’s ears, her heart was struck like lightning.
Did she... hear it wrong?
Chu Mucheng... actually said that!
Do not... leave him?
Tao Zhixiang wanted to look at his face clearly, to see his eyes clearly, to confirm if she was mishearing.
"Do not look!"
Chu Mucheng commanded harshly, refusing to let her see his current expression.
Tao Zhixiang was in chaos.
She was sure she hadn’t heard it wrong; Chu Mucheng had indeed said those words.
Do not leave him!
And Chu Mucheng just held her like this, his arms so strong, unwilling to let go even a bit.
This woman was his, so dream on about escaping, dream on!
She was his, always only his!
Chu Mucheng looked at her, extending another hand to gently caress her hair.
Now, her hair was indeed much shorter, no longer like before, when it reached her waist, and a single lock could be twirled around his fingertips several times.
And now, a touch of disappointment lightly flitted through Chu Mucheng’s heart.
"In the future, don’t cut it short again, grow it out!"
Chu Mucheng whispered in her ear.
Tao Zhixiang’s heart quivered.
"Although short hair looks good too, but... I still prefer you with long hair."
Chu Mucheng’s voice was soft, his tone tender.
But once he spoke, she couldn’t resist.
Let her hair grow out?
