Chapter 316: Self-defeating

Sitting quietly in his place, although it took nearly an hour to make himself as beautiful as possible, Mu Chenxi still felt a little dissatisfied at this time, because from Shang Zichen's expression when he saw him, it could be seen that he didn't seem to be beautiful enough.

Sitting at the dining table again, although it was not the first time to eat lunch with him, but looking at the few plates of Western food, although he didn't feel that it was enough to make him full, Chenxi's mood was still very excited, as if it was the first time he asked himself to eat, as if he was waiting for Shang Zichen to confess to himself.

However, at the same time, she also knew that Shang Zichen, who was sitting opposite her, was afraid that she might not be the same as herself, at least on his face, he didn't seem to be happy at all, but had an embarrassed expression, and there seemed to be a faint sense of hesitation.

In fact, this is indeed a rather embarrassing thing for Shang Zichen, who is sitting face-to-face, regardless of whether what his parents said at the beginning is right or whether it should be or not, just his own indifference to Chenxi is enough to make him feel sorry now.

At least he knew in his heart that after the relationship between himself and Chenxi became estranged, no matter how anxious they were about each other, the person who cried every time was not him, and more importantly, at the moment when he knew that she was still sad for herself, there was still no lack of women's company by his side, and this woman was still Mu Chenxi's best friend.

Of course, Shang Zichen knew in his heart that the main reason why he wanted to ask Chenxi to come out today was to explain these things clearly to her. Even if even he himself is not sure whether he has empathized with another love, at least he is not willing to be a liar. I don't want to be the man who cheats on other people's feelings, so it's embarrassing. Even if you can't open your mouth at all, you still have to pick up the topic.

The two of them sat quietly like this, one raised his head and looked at each other affectionately, while the other lowered his head and pondered how to speak, and it was only after a few minutes that Shang Zichen finally said:

"How have you been lately, it looks like you're busy every day, although work is really important, but at least don't get tired."

Although it may sound like there is a sense of concern. But in fact, only he knew in his heart that this was just to pave the way for the later words, at least before saying those words, he had to let Chenxi's heart relax a little, otherwise he didn't want to see her cry again, after all, there are not many people in this Western restaurant now......

However, although he said so, the expected calmness did not appear, but there was still a silence, which also made Shang Zichen helpless. After all, if Chenxi didn't say anything, then he really didn't know how to continue, but when he finally couldn't help but raise his head, he was depressed. Although he didn't want the other party to cry, Mu Chenxi burst into tears just because of his words.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Tears. Not tears of pain and sorrow, but tears of happiness and joy. Although it is true that he is still very uncomfortable in his heart, what Shang Zichen said just now. Although his expression was still so entangled, he did say this, and for Chenxi, who hadn't spoken to him for many days, it really touched her to suddenly get such care.

In fact, she didn't want to cry herself, after all, in the past many days, she rarely lacked the company of tears, but now these tears still seem to be completely uncontrollable, and they flow out happily.

"Uh, Xiaoxi, you...... Alas. ”

The plan couldn't catch up with the change, Mu Chenxi's crying made Shang Zichen even more unsure of what to do, those words that he originally planned to say when Chenxi was calm, but now they all held back all of a sudden, fortunately, at this time, Chenxi just bit his lip and didn't make a little sound, otherwise he was afraid that the idea of running away would immediately arise in his heart, after all, Shang Zichen didn't want to be regarded by others as a bad man who was bullying girls.

Seeing the obviously depressed look on Shang Zichen's face, Mu Chenxi also felt that she really shouldn't cry, after all, being able to be with her beloved man again, although it was just a meal, but it was enough to make her feel happy, so she immediately wiped the tears on her face with a tissue, and then took a few deep breaths, and after calming down a little, she said softly:

"I'm sorry Zichen, but uh...... I couldn't hold back for a while, hehe, as for what you just said, I'm actually not busy, but I really don't know what I can do and what I should do every day, so I have to make myself more busy, so I don't have to think about it......"

Immediately stopped her mouth, because her heart was overturned again, in order to prevent herself from continuing to cry, she could only prevent herself from saying those words that might make each other uncomfortable, and seeing Chenxi like this, Shang Zichen lowered his head even more.

"I know it's me...... It makes you feel uncomfortable, although I don't think it's useful for this, but I still want to say sorry to you, in fact, maybe you also know in your heart that I don't want you to be unhappy. ”

"I know...... I've always known that I've never thought you'd really want to leave me, and I know in my heart that you'll be very embarrassed, after all, I did what you taught me every day, which is why my uncle and aunt were unhappy, and I actually wanted to apologize to them. ”

Even if she felt uncomfortable in her heart, even if she was talking incorrectly, Mu Chenxi still tried her best to control her feelings, although what she saw and heard was completely different from what she said, but in order to be able to save this relationship, she still tried her best to calm herself.

Hearing Chenxi say this, Shang Zichen also suddenly felt puzzled, and at the same time, a feeling similar to joy was also born from the bottom of his heart, and then he suddenly raised his head and looked at Chenxi and said:

"Apologize? You just said...... Do you want to apologize to my parents? What does that mean? ”

Shang Zichen's words made Mu Chenxi's heart laugh at himself for a while, but although what he was concerned about was different from what he wanted him to notice, since the other party had already asked like this, then he had to answer, 'sincerely':

"Well, first of all, I said goodbye that day, it was a bit of a gamble, and I felt very rude afterwards, so I want to apologize to them for this, and more importantly, I really want to be able to say what I said that day, although I also know that it is impossible, but if I can, I really want to say it to them in a different way, to tell them the way you taught me, anyway, as long as my uncle and aunt can allow me to be with you, that's fine."

While speaking, Mu Chenxi's eyes were always firmly fixed on Shang Zichen in front of him, and this feeling made Shang Zichen suddenly feel that she was really afraid of losing herself, and at the same time, her words also made his heart feel embarrassed for a while.

After all, her purpose today is actually to explain to Chenxi what happened between herself and Xue Yanan, or to put it bluntly, she just wants to settle with Mu Chenxi, but now her words suddenly made Shang Zichen feel as if there was still some room for maneuver between the two people, as if she and Chenxi didn't seem to really need to separate.

"Xiaoxi, I don't don't understand what you mean, but what you just said...... Allowed, but I don't know what you're going to do, you know my parents...... Alas. ”

There was another light sigh, and when she heard Shang Zichen say this, Mu Chenxi's eyes were a lot excited, because it made her feel that she might really not have to lose him, but although she said those words, she didn't know what to do at all, so she hesitated and said:

"I don't know exactly how to do it, but I think as long as I'm sincere, then I can take time to eliminate the dissatisfaction in their hearts."

Hearing her say this, Shang Zichen immediately felt a burst of disappointment in his heart.

"Time? Oh, Xiaoxi, you don't understand, my parents won't allow us at all...... In short, don't be so naΓ―ve, okay, what they care about is not the same thing as what you think! ”

"Innocent...... Yes, maybe I'm really naΓ―ve, but Zichen, let me ask you, you actually still care about me in your heart, right? Even if one day...... Even if you may have another woman by your side one day, deep down in your heart, you still love me, right? ”

Before the disappointed expression appeared on her face, Mu Chenxi once again held back the sadness in her heart, and said it like a gamble, but although her words were already very tactful, it was still a panic in Shang Zichen's heart.

'With another woman?' Could it be that Xiaoxi already knows about me and Yanan? But...... No, she shouldn't know, she just said maybe, not for sure. ’

Thinking like this, although he couldn't ask Chenxi if he knew anything, but because he was a little worried in his heart, Shang Zichen only hesitated slightly, and then nodded immediately, and at the same time grinned vigorously, trying to make himself look like he was indeed smiling.

"Poof...... I knew you still loved me! Thank you, Zichen! (To be continued......)
