The time of the city

Chapter 218 Proposal

After Mo Yu returned home, she was still a little dazed. Before she left yesterday, she had thought that she would never come back here again. She didn't expect to be caught by Ni Jiamu so soon.

"Brother Jiamu, I'm here to accompany Sister Xiaoyu." A crisp voice came from the door, breaking the dull silence in the room.

Mo Yu looked up when she heard the voice and saw Yueyue standing beside Ni Jiamu with a big bag full of things in her hands.

Ni Jiamu reached out to take the bag, his slender fingers casually looking through it. After a moment, he took out two packets of spicy strips and frowned slightly: "Your sister Xiaoyu has a weak stomach. These two are too spicy and can't be eaten."

Yueyue nodded obediently: "Brother Jiamu, I will be careful next time and not bring anything too spicy for my sister."

Ni Jiamu looked at Mo Yu deeply, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and then turned and walked towards the study.

Yueyue carried the remaining things and quickly walked to the sofa and sat down, her face full of worry: "Sister Xiaoyu, are you okay?"

Mo Yu pulled the corners of her mouth, forcing out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, don't worry."

Yueyue, however, didn't buy it. She moved closer, looked at Mo Yu carefully, and said distressedly, "Your eyes are swollen from crying, and your face is so pale, how can you be okay? No, I have to tell Aunt Shangxue and Uncle Yuantang to take you away."

Mo Yu hurriedly reached out and grabbed Yueyue's hand: "Don't tell them. They have already cut off ties with me. If they knew about what happened between me and my brother, they would be very angry."

Yueyue frowned upon hearing this, and after a moment's thought, she sat down again. She pulled out a bag of QQ candy from her pocket, her eyes curved into crescents. "Let's not talk about this for now. I hid the medicine in different snacks."

As she spoke, she opened the package of QQ candy, carefully took out the medicine hidden inside, and handed it to Mo Yu, "You can take the medicine and eat the candy inside, so it won't be bitter."

Mo Yu's eyes were filled with tears. She took the medicine, tilted her head back and swallowed it in one gulp: "Thank you, Yueyue."

Yueyue had evening self-study, so she left without staying for long.

After Yueyue left, Moyu opened the snack bag and found that the snacks inside had been opened and resealed, and each bag contained contraceptive pills.

Looking at these, Mo Yu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a bitter but relieved smile, thinking: Someone is willing to help me, I am not too miserable.

Night fell quietly. After dinner, Mo Yu returned to her room, only to find that Ni Jiamu's belongings had been moved in. Suddenly, a wave of irritation washed over her, making it difficult for her to breathe. She quickly walked to the terrace to get some fresh air.

The gardenias downstairs were in full bloom, their rich fragrance filling the air. The pure white flowers were in full bloom, just as they had been when she first arrived.

"You guys are doing well elsewhere. Will you feel sad coming here?" Mo Yu's voice was so low that it faded away in the air.

"They won't be sad. I will give them the best fertilizer and the best care. They bloom for the most beautiful people and realize their own value, so naturally they won't be sad." At some point, Ni Jiamu came behind her, his warm breath spraying on her ears, his voice lingering and gentle, as if telling the most touching love words.

Mo Yu felt as if she was scalded, and suddenly broke free from his arms: "I was just talking casually, I'm going back to my room."

"look up."

With a loud "bang", colorful fireworks suddenly bloomed in the night sky, as gorgeous and dazzling as a dream.

Ni Jiamu knelt on one knee, took out an exquisite ring box from his pocket, opened it gently, and a dazzling ring sparkled in the firelight.

His eyes sparkled with anticipation, and his voice trembled slightly: "Xiaoyu, marry me."

Beautiful fireworks, a dreamy castle, a loving man, and that sparkling ring—anyone who sees it will be moved. But even though Mo Yu and Ni Jiamu did everything a couple should do, they still couldn't face up to the complex and twisted relationship between them.

She remained silent for a long time without responding. Ni Jiamu's eyes gradually dimmed from initial expectation to disappointment, and finally he almost begged: "Mo Yu, please marry me."

Suddenly, he noticed Mo Yu's empty wrists and his expression tightened. "Xiao Yu, where is the bracelet you were wearing?"

Mo Yu's eyes froze for a moment, and the scene of handing the bracelet to the driver as fare emerged in her mind: "Lost it."

"It's okay, I'll buy you another one." Ni Jiamu's tone was a little anxious. He held the ring and moved closer to Mo Yu. "Xiao Yu, will you marry me? I love you."

"I do not……"

"say no more."

Ni Jiamu suddenly lost control. He grabbed Mo Yu's hand and forcefully slipped the ring onto her finger. Then he staggered to his feet and hugged her tightly. "Xiao Yu, don't say that. Fortunately, I have money and can keep you by my side. Whether you like it or not, you have to marry me."

In the sky, fireworks were still blooming wildly, and the diamond ring on Mo Yu's hand shone brightly under the brilliant fireworks.

Mo Yu felt angry and pushed hard to break free from Ni Jiamu's arms. Then she reached out to take off the ring that was forced on her.

"You are not allowed to take it. If you do, I will sleep with you."

Mo Yu's cheeks flushed instantly, feeling embarrassed and angry. She glared at Ni Jiamu fiercely and cursed in a low voice, "Psycho."

But she had no choice but to put the ring back on. Then she turned around and walked quickly into the room, lying down with a rage.

After a while, perhaps exhausted both physically and mentally, Mo Yu drifted off to sleep. In her sleep, she felt the bed beside her sink slightly, and a familiar presence approached. Then, a pair of arms gently wrapped around her from behind, their strong arms holding her tightly in their embrace.

Mo Yu instantly sobered up a lot. She wrinkled her nose. The air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. She knew without hesitation that it was Ni Jiamu.

"What are you doing?" Her voice trembled a little, for she was really afraid that Ni Jiamu would have sex with someone else after drinking.

"Don't be afraid, I'll hug you." Ni Jiamu's voice was as soft as a feather, and his hand gently stroked Mo Yu's head, again and again.

Suddenly, Mo Yu felt a warmth on her shoulder, and the warm touch startled her. "Are you crying?" she asked softly, with a hint of surprise in her voice.

"I'm just sad that you don't like me." Ni Jiamu's voice was nasal. "You don't know how much I like you, but why don't you like me..."

Gradually, Mo Yu heard the sound of even breathing coming from behind her, and she knew that Ni Jiamu had fallen asleep.

The room was silent, with only the breeze outside the window blowing gently, ruffling the curtains.

"Actually, I also want to ask you, why do you like me..."
