The two people were silent at the same time, and the surroundings were quiet, as if they could only hear each other's breathing sounds, until Mrs. Pei's voice suddenly came, breaking this quiet atmosphere.

  "I said you two ran off somewhere, why are you standing at the door?"

  Su Wanwan was startled and suddenly came back to her senses, hurriedly putting down her arms.

  Mrs. Pei had already seen this scene with her sharp eyes and raised an eyebrow ambiguously, "It seems I didn't come at the right time."

  Su Wan's pale cheeks suddenly flushed with two red clouds, and she subconsciously stole a glance at Pei Mu Nian.

  However, she did not see any shy or awkward expression on Pei Moxun's face, but instead still a cold and icy one, as if the person being teased by Mrs. Pei was not him.

  He didn't look at Su Wanwan and directly lifted his foot to walk into the house.

  Su Wan felt somewhat disheartened.

  Her sincere confession still didn't get any reaction from Pei Mochen, could it be that she had misinterpreted everything before?

  Mrs. Pei looked at Su Wanwan's face, which couldn't hide her disappointment, and softly encouraged: "Wanwan, don't be discouraged, I think Mu Nian doesn't really dislike you. With his personality, if he really didn't like you, he wouldn't let you get close to him, let alone marry you."

  Marry her...

  Su Wanwan's eyes dimmed even more.

  He married her out of desperation, if it weren't for that scandal, how could he have possibly married her? How could he have let her get close to him?

  Su Wan also wanted to smile and tell Madam Pei that she wasn't discouraged, that she would continue to work hard, but at this moment, she really couldn't muster up a smile. She lowered her eyelids and softly muttered a few words, "Mom, thank you."

  Thank her for comforting her.

  Mrs. Pei saw that Su Wanwan still looked lost, and she knew that she didn't believe what she said. After thinking for a moment, she continued: "Wanwan, trust me, Mu Nian is my son, I can see that he has you in his heart, otherwise, after the scandal between you two broke out, he wouldn't have said without hesitation that he wanted to marry you."

  Su Wanwan was still feeling unwell, but when she heard Mrs. Pei's last sentence, her long eyelashes trembled violently and she suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Mom... You just said that Mu Nian marrying me is something he himself... wanted?"

  "Of course it was his own wish, otherwise who could force him?"

  Mrs. Pei answered subconsciously, but after finishing speaking, she looked at Su Wanwan's stunned expression and was surprised again, "Wanwan, didn't you know?"

  How could she possibly know...

  She had always thought that Pei Muxuan married her out of desperation, and just a second ago, she still thought so.

  Su Wan shook her head unconsciously, her eyes were bewildered.

  Mrs. Pei was at a loss for a moment, didn't know whether to laugh or be helpless. Didn't Su Wanwan used to date her son? How could she not understand her own son at all?

  In this world, no one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do. Otherwise, after all these years, she would have been so eager for him to get married and have children, but there's nothing she can do about it.

  "It's not that I'm being biased as a mother, but you really should put more thought into loving Mu Nian. He deserves your love, and if he falls in love with you, you'll be very happy."

  -

  Pei Muniang walked straight back to the veranda outside her house before stopping.

  Su Wanwan's last sentence had been lingering in his ears, slowly infiltrating his mind and disrupting his thoughts.

  Although he knew it was just Su Wanwan's sweet talk, he still couldn't resist such goodness.
