Chapter 1489 Fool
Mu Ning grinned, "So, you really don't have any feelings for Bai Xin'ai anymore, right?"
After hesitatingly asking the question, she immediately added, "Don't lie to me, okay? I'll remember."
"Yes, there are no feelings. There weren't any before, and there won't be any in the future," Zhuang Shiyuan said earnestly. "Mu Ning, I hope you can make your own judgment about what kind of person I am. Don't just listen to hearsay; try to see me for yourself, okay?"
"Okay." Mu Ning composed herself, took a long breath, and then said, "Zhuang Shiyuan, may I ask you one more question?"
"You said."
"You said you've never liked Bai Xin'ai, and that I'm the only one you've ever loved. Is that true?" Mu Ning asked softly, glancing at him repeatedly.
"Really, don't doubt my feelings, you idiot." Zhuang Shiyuan raised his hand and tapped Mu Ning's forehead. Was he really that untrustworthy?
For her sake, he should have gone to university, but he turned back without hesitation and spent two more years with her. The energy and feelings he devoted to her were incomparable to the helplessness and difficulty he once felt towards Bai Xin'ai.
Mu Ning rubbed her forehead with a flourish, then walked ahead. "Zhuang Shijue has been incredibly mischievous since he was little. Have you made any sacrifices to help him behave?"
Zhuang Shiyuan sighed helplessly, "Women—"
"Still unable to let go?"
Mu Ning waited for him as he climbed the steps. Surprisingly, her round body completely blocked the light in front of him, so for a moment when he looked up, all he saw was darkness. However, a second later, he could see her face clearly.
"I heard you've lost weight?" Zhuang Shiyuan suddenly asked her. This was something he hadn't expected. How could she have lost weight while pregnant?
"No, it's still just as heavy." Mu Ning looked down at herself. Yes, it was just as heavy.
Zhuang Shiyuan walked up to her, took her warm hand in his, and said softly, "Eat properly, and I can't be any softer, okay?"
"it is good."
The two entered the villa. Zhuang Shiyuan's return home should have been lively, but the dining table was unusually quiet, eerily so.
That night, Mu Ning snuggled into bed, lying close to Zhuang Shiyuan. Unable to sleep, Zhuang Shiyuan read for a while, then looked down at her, who was still staring at him. He immediately sighed.
"Don't overthink it, okay? Just remember that I'm yours."
He gently stroked her hair, lay down, and kissed her forehead. "Sleep."
She used to fall asleep within five minutes of lying down, but today it's been quiet for half an hour and she still hasn't fallen asleep. Can she be having something on her mind?
"Hmm." Mu Ning hugged Zhuang Shiyuan's arm and closed her eyes, still unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Bai Xin'ai's image was constantly in front of her; she couldn't ignore Bai Xin'ai's stunningly beautiful face and figure that was so much better than hers. No man could resist a beautiful woman, she believed Zhuang Shiyuan, but she didn't have the courage to compete with Bai Xin'ai.
"Miss Bai is so beautiful, with such a great figure, you really..."
"There are plenty of women with great figures in the world. Do I love every single one of them?" Zhuang Shiyuan asked softly, patiently trying to comfort her.
Mu gazed at the ceiling and said softly, "But didn't you like me back then because I was pretty?"
"When have you ever looked particularly good?" Zhuang Shiyuan suddenly laughed out loud, asking the question instead of answering.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ning thought, "Hey, what does that mean?"
"I looked pretty when I was thinner," Mu Ning argued, propping herself up. Although she's gained weight now, she did have a "past" of her looks, didn't she?
Zhuang Shiyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "I've never thought you were particularly good-looking. You're quite confident, aren't you?"
"I..." Mu Ning's eyes were uncertain. It seemed that back then, he really didn't think much of her and called her ugly. He only started liking her after their senior year of high school, but they had already spent quite a long time together before that.
"But I think I looked pretty good back then. Don't you think it's just that you have bad taste?" Mu Ning argued. She just had slightly small eyes; if her eyes were bigger, she would be perfect. But some people say she has classical beauty and that her eyes are very expressive.
When Mu Ning is thinking, her eyes usually dart around aimlessly, and her head moves slowly, giving her a somewhat dazed and cute appearance. Her once bewitching gaze has now been softened and made much gentler by her round face.
Zhuang Shiyuan asked with a smile, "So, were you the universally acknowledged school beauty back then? Were you the class beauty? Well, at most, a few hotheads thought you were alright, and you had a few secret admirers, but you were still a bit far from being truly beautiful. You won't deny that, will you?"
"..." Well, he was speechless, utterly stumped by his words.
Is it really that hurtful?
"Zhuang Shiyuan, why can't you just go along with me for once? I'm in a really bad mood right now. Would it kill you to just say something to my liking?" Mu Ning gritted her teeth. This was just too much.
She turned over to sleep and stopped responding to people.
I'm so angry that I've completely forgotten about Bai Xin'ai.
When Mu Ning woke up early, Zhuang Shiyuan had already left again, leaving her a note by her bedside telling her the approximate date of his return.
Mu Ning went downstairs and was surprised to see Zhuang Shijue sitting leisurely in the hall, his long, well-proportioned legs resting on the back of the sofa. His extremely uncouth posture somehow added a touch of nobility to his posture. Mu Ning was stunned by how powerful a person's aura could be.
"Although I am incredibly handsome, dashing, and unparalleled, with countless women falling at my feet, it wouldn't be surprising if you were one more. But I still have to kindly remind you, don't fall in love with me. I won't reciprocate any feelings for a fat guy." Zhuang Shijue continued to casually twirl his phone without turning around, which surprised Mu Ning.
"How come you're me?" Mu Ning asked with a smile as she came downstairs.
Compared to Zhuang Shiyuan, Zhuang Shijue is actually easier to get along with. Of course, this refers to the two of them at present. Zhuang Shiyuan used to be a very nice person, but his personality changed drastically after waking up, making those around him somewhat unsure of his temperament.
"Who else in the Zhuang family, besides that fat woman, could have the ability to make the floor wobble when they walk?" Zhuang Shijue said leisurely, swaying his toes back and forth.
Mu Ning rolled her eyes and went straight into the restaurant. She wasn't taking it to heart; she just didn't want to upset herself.
"Where did the Third Madam go so early this morning?" Mu Ning asked the kitchen aunt. Strange, why is no one here for breakfast? Of course, we have to ignore the person outside, who is always elusive.
"Third Madam and Third Master went to attend a government-organized event, which is not in the capital, so they left early this morning," the aunt replied.
"Oh." Mu Ning relaxed instantly; she was happy that no one was around.
