Chapter 964: Chapter 961: Have We Been Dating All Along?
After Xiao Qing went out, the room finally quieted down. Zi Yunsui looked at Hua Xiaomo, and there was a certain light shining in Hua Xiaomo’s eyes.
Then Zi Yunsui walked toward her, looked at that beautiful face and thought for a moment before saying, "Just now it seemed like Xiao Qing noticed something. Do you think he might have realized that the two of us are together? Actually, even if he found out it doesn’t matter. We’re dating anyway, right? Even if this hasn’t been made public in the company, a lot of people already know!"
"Hua Xiaomo, I think I really was pretty worked up just now. I hope you can stay by my side forever. I really love you so much, I really want to be with you, I really can’t control myself, Hua Xiaomo, I honestly want to be with you every single minute!"
"I also hope you feel the same way about me. I also know you can’t bear to leave me, not ever! And I know this love between us is something we need to cherish. A love like this requires us to put in a lot, a lot of effort; a love like this is something we both should hold on to with everything we’ve got!"
"We have to treat it well, only then, for you and for me, is this the thing we both ought to do. I want you to always stand on my side, and I also hope I will always love you!"
"Hua Xiaomo, the two of us both have to work hard, and we both have to think about Candy’s happiness, because only in a very normal family environment can Candy grow up with a father’s and a mother’s love. And I really do like Candy a lot!"
"Candy is really just like my own daughter. Even though Candy keeps calling me Brother Zi Yunsha, in my heart I’ve long since treated her as my child. Besides, you said I’m very young and should be enjoying the feeling of being in love. Actually, I think even after marriage we can keep on dating, right?"
"Wouldn’t that kind of relationship be even more stable? I hope you can understand me, Hua Xiaomo. I really do want to be with you, and I really do want to show you my feelings, to let you see clearly what this love is like!"
"I also hope you can understand me. I hope we can really be together, okay? Will you say yes to me? Will you say yes and marry me?" When Zi Yunsui got to the last part and started proposing, there was also a brightness in his eyes.
He really, truly liked Hua Xiaomo.
No matter from which angle, he felt that he and Hua Xiaomo were a perfect match. And now the two of them were working together, working together so seamlessly, and he had accompanied her through such a long stretch of life.
You could say that from the time she got pregnant in America up until now, Candy was already almost five or six years old.
He had walked with her through this stretch of life for so many years. He believed that in her life, she couldn’t be without him, and he couldn’t be without her either.
They had long since formed that kind of tacit understanding, and now they even had this man-woman relationship, so how could she possibly leave him!
If before they were good friends, then now they were already lovers!
They had already moved past that stage of just being good friends.
So he felt that now was exactly the time he should be proposing to her, only hoping that she could stay by his side properly, that just having her by his side would be enough.
When Hua Xiaomo heard this, a hard-to-describe darkness crossed her face. She hadn’t expected Zi Yunsui to bring up marriage again, but in her view, she really didn’t want to get married right now.
And she hadn’t actually sat down and really thought through this question, because right now she honestly didn’t want to talk about marriage. Marriage is a very complicated thing.
Marriage is definitely not equivalent to that kind of simple way of being together. She knew he had always understood that, so now she simply refused to think about marriage. She really didn’t want to think about marriage. As long as they could just live their lives this simply, that would be enough. Why bother proving anything with a piece of paper? There was really no need.
Hua Xiaomo didn’t say anything for a long time, her heart a complete mess. At that moment, when Zi Yunsui saw that she wasn’t speaking, he felt a pressure in his own heart. He couldn’t help walking over to her again, putting a hand on her shoulder, but just then Hua Xiaomo slowly raised her hand and brushed his hand away.
Hua Xiaomo said calmly, "If there were no marriage, would you still be with me? Zi Yunsui, actually I think the two of us should both calm down a bit. What does marriage really mean for us—you’ve really thought that through? And at your age right now, I actually don’t think you’re suited for marriage. I think you should put your focus on your career!"
"I don’t know if you can understand me when I say this, but no matter what, I think this is the most important thing for you and for me. And a lot of the time, we should put most of our attention on our work and not let our relationship put pressure on our work. That’s not right!" Hua Xiaomo looked at Zi Yunsui.
She hoped Zi Yunsui could understand the thoughts deep in her heart. Actually, she just wanted to keep things the way they were; that was already very good. She really didn’t want marriage. If they got married, she knew that the way two people get along afterward would definitely not be that simple.
Especially when she thought of Qi Longbing. After Qi Longbing got married this time, now that he wants a divorce, it’s so incredibly difficult. So she really is afraid that in the future something like Long Bin’s situation would happen to her. That’s something she doesn’t want to see, so she really is somewhat rejecting marriage—you could also call it a fear of marriage. The way things are now is quite good for her; she really doesn’t want to think about life after marriage anymore.
Besides, she already had Candy. Candy was her daughter. She really would treat Candy very well. Being a single mom wasn’t anything bad. It’s just that in other people’s eyes, it seems like single moms are somehow this or that, they get lots of side-eye and discrimination or whatever, but for her there was absolutely no such feeling.
Because she felt that as long as she lived her own life well, that was enough!
Why bother thinking about other people? If she kept thinking about others, it would only make her upset. So she was someone who didn’t like making herself upset. She would live happily, and face every step of the future.
She really would walk forward very strongly, because only like this could she pass on a bit of positive energy.
