Chapter 440 Choice
"What do you want for lunch?"
Chao Mu held Jiang Zhouzhou's hand, the warm sunlight falling on his eyebrows and eyes, his amber eyes filled with tenderness.
This scene is one of tranquility and peace.
Jiang Zhouzhou wanted something spicy, so he cooked it himself.
She helped him tie his apron, rolled up his sleeves, and as she leaned close to him, a cool, elegant woody scent lingered around his nose.
Putting aside their circumstances, the two of them at this moment looked exactly like a real couple.
His cooking skills are excellent. Jiang Zhouzhou ate a few bites of the dish, and soon her nose was sweating and her lips were red from the spiciness.
A glass of milk that had been prepared in advance was handed to her: "To relieve the spiciness."
Jiang Zhouzhou took the bowl and gulped down two big mouthfuls, finally relieving the spiciness in her mouth.
"You can't eat spicy food, but you still want to?" The man in front of her laughed as he watched her bewildered expression.
Jiang Zhouzhou gave a light hum: "You don't understand, this is the feeling that's so great, just like how the more timid you are, the more you like watching horror movies."
She likes the stimulating sensation of spiciness, but her mouth and stomach don't always cooperate.
Chao Mu stared at her swollen lips without saying a word, remaining silent for a while.
Once she had finished eating and drinking, he suddenly asked, "What kind of ring do you like?"
Jiang Zhouzhou paused for a moment, then realized he was referring to the wedding ring.
He forced a dry reply and said, "I don't have any requirements for the style. As long as you design it yourself, I'll like it."
"And I believe in you, that you will design a unique wedding ring for us."
Upon hearing her answer, Chaomu smiled and said, "What about the wedding dress? There are many styles of wedding dresses now. I want to know which one you like, so we can design one according to your preferences."
Jiang Zhouzhou's face showed a hint of confusion: "I've never been married, and I've never known anything about wedding dresses..."
It seems I went too far with what I said yesterday.
Moreover, seeing the other person's serious expression, Jiang Zhouzhou felt a strange sense of guilt welling up in her heart.
She's such a jerk now, toying with and deceiving the feelings of the people in front of her.
Although he was talking about wedding rings and wedding dresses on the surface, he was actually outlining their future.
But this illusory future is like a bubble, easily burst at the slightest touch.
"How about you take me to a bridal shop this afternoon? Maybe when I see a real wedding dress, I'll understand what I want," Jiang Zhouzhou suggested tentatively.
Chao Mu lowered his gaze and looked at her intently: "No rush. Perhaps we can discuss how to decorate the nursery first, since you said you want to have a son and a daughter."
Jiang Zhouzhou: "..."
When she met his gaze, a chill ran down her spine.
It felt like that look in his eyes was as if he intended to devour her alive.
She kept her head down, her heroic spirit from yesterday gone, and muttered softly, "Isn't it too early to discuss this?"
A soft laugh rang in her ears, echoing, "Yes, it is indeed too early."
Jiang Zhouzhou was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard him say the same thing.
But the next second.
The man's cool tone trailed off: "So, let's have a baby tonight?"
Under his unbridled gaze, the girl's face could only be described as thoroughly ripe.
She stood up, wanting to run...
"Once I have a lover and family, I should choose to give up hatred and return to a simple and peaceful life. Isn't that what you want?"
His words made Jiang Zhouzhou stop in her tracks.
“The Sheng family is in chaos now. He’s looking for you everywhere. I told him I’d trade my life for yours, and he agreed immediately.”
Chao Mu's lips curled into a faint smile, her gaze chillingly cold.
Jiang Zhouzhou felt a sudden, sharp pain in her heart and obediently sat back down.
"Can I know... why you did this?"
She simply couldn't understand how much hatred the man in front of her had for the Sheng family.
A heavy silence fell over the living room; he did not answer.
After a short while.
The icy voice was as chilling as wind and snow.
"Because I want the old master of the Sheng family to experience the pain of losing the most important person in his life."
Both are his grandsons, one of whom grew up in luxury, like a favored child of heaven, surrounded by admirers.
Another lives in the filthy mud, and just to survive, they have to fight with all their might.
He could never forget that rainy night...
He knelt on the ground, like a wretched, drowned dog, begging the other party to help him this once, out of consideration for their blood relation.
The man, high and mighty, looked at him as if he were filthy garbage, disgusted and repulsive.
But when he looked at the baby in his arms, his expression softened instantly.
Chao Mu disliked going to the hospital because when he and his mother couldn't afford the medical bills, his seriously ill mother was ruthlessly driven out.
When he returned dejectedly to the filthy basement, the woman lying on the wooden bed was already cold and stiff.
He used to have a family too...
Getting Jiang Zhouzhou involved was an accident.
He had considered many ways to take revenge, but those methods seemed like childish games in the face of the powerful Sheng family.
It wasn't until Sheng Jingyao appeared in that live stream room and showed her unusual level of attention that she realized how important it was to her.
He plays the role of the nice guy and appears at the same time.
However, the closer he got to her, the more he wavered.
He was originally a moth-like insect living in the sewers, unable to see the light. As he gradually approached the sunlight, what he saw was not a colorful world, but his own ugly self.
Fearing he would get too deeply involved, he dared not show up again.
But whenever she smiles at him, he can't help but want to get close to her.
When Jiang Zhouzhou learned that the person he wanted to take revenge on was Old Master Sheng, a sense of powerlessness welled up inside her.
Chao Mu saw through her heart, gently lifted her hand, and kissed it against his lips.
“My dear, a person who wants revenge has no moral principles and will not feel sorry or guilty for hurting innocent people.”
"Now, you're facing this kind of person."
"So, would you choose Sheng Jingyao's corpse, or would you choose this kind of person, marry him, have children, and spend the rest of your life with him?"
