Mr. Mu Proposed Again Today

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Who Do You Choose_1

A feeling of dead embers reigniting suddenly swept over his body and soul; he gazed, a bit crazily elated, at that tear-streaked, stunningly beautiful face.

His resolute voice was laced with an unusual stubbornness, "Wanwan, come back with me. I’ll take care of everything. Trust me!"

Su Wanxia’s tear-filled eyes looked at Mu Yingchen, whose face was a portrait of resolve, handsomely ethereal like a deity.

If possible---she truly did not want to leave this place, did not want to leave him, but—some issues, in the end, she had to resolve herself, such as: the grandfather she was about to meet, and the tangled, complex grudges between her parents and his parents, she had a responsibility to sort out all these matters clearly.

Standing at the side, Su Ran, holding a gun aimed at Mu Yingchen, furrowed his brow almost imperceptibly, his expression as indifferent as plum blossoms blooming in winter.

"I originally thought Mr. Mu was a man of his word, unwavering, but it turns out he is one who contradicts himself..."

Mu Yingchen, upon hearing Su Ran’s words, laughed coldly, "Contradict myself? The conditions I agreed to that day were to save Wanwan, and now you actually expect me to use her as a bargaining chip... Do you think that’s possible?"

"Mr. Mu, we just want to take Miss back home, there’s no other intention. Why must you be so obstinate? Don’t you want the miss to reunite with her relatives whom she has been separated from for over twenty years?" Su Ran’s indifferent expression had vanished, replaced by one of great puzzlement and bewilderment.

"She doesn’t want to go with you, does she?" Mu Yingchen hit the nail on the head, leaving Su Ran so choked up he couldn’t utter another word.

Su Ran scoffed coldly, with a light laugh, "What does it change to have a momentary upper hand verbally? No matter what you say, you can’t change the fact that the miss is Grandfather Qing’s legitimate granddaughter!"

Su Wanxia, upon hearing his words, couldn’t help but lower her long eyelashes.

Su Ran was right; matters had reached this point, and there was no turning back. She had no choice but to go with them!

Moreover, Mu Yingchen was alone, while Su Ran had a crowd on his side, not to mention everyone was well-trained. If the argument continued, the one who would get hurt would undoubtedly be him...

"Achen, go back. Take good care of the family for me..." At this point, she could only try to persuade him to return by using a different method.

Upon hearing her words, a glint of emotion flickered in Mu Yingchen’s eyes.

Su Wanxia continued, "Tell Xiaolan and the others that I will come back to see them..."

Just as Mu Yingchen’s facial expression finally began to soften, suddenly, from afar, came the sound of engines being revved furiously, approaching at high speed.

A row of black off-road vehicles charged from the distance, closing in as if racing against time—

A sudden, screeching halt, and the lead car stopped right in front of everyone.

The first to step out was a black-clad bodyguard; he reached out a hand to help someone down— it was Mu’s mother, her face etched with deep anxiety and worry.

When she caught sight of the situation before her, her heart plummeted, a coldness settling in her core.

For Su Ran’s gun was still pointed directly at Mu Yingchen...

"Yingchen!" she watched with utter panic at the calm-faced Mu Yingchen.

Following her was Mu Feng, who stepped out of his vehicle and approached, his brows tightly knitted together upon seeing the scene.

What on earth had happened? Why was it like this?

"Mr. Mu, if you don’t want your mother to faint again, you’d better leave now. I don’t want to hurt any of you---" Su Ran glanced at the large group that had arrived, then back at Mu Yingchen, who still stood motionlessly in his spot.

Mu Yingchen cast a side glance at Mu’s mother and Mu Feng, then shifted his gaze onto Su Ran, his black eyes narrowing slightly as if calculating something.

After a moment, he spoke ominously, "If you want to leave here alive, leave the person behind and get out!"

Su Ran’s whole body suddenly turned cold. He gave a cold laugh as he waved his left hand, and everyone surrounding Mu Yingchen drew the guns they were carrying.

"Su Ran!" Su Wanxia, ignoring the obstruction of two men in black, suddenly ran and stood in front of Mu Yingchen.

"If you want to shoot, let the bullets go through my body first!" She stood in front of Mu Yingchen, her expression resolute.

As their guns were aimed at Mu Yingchen, with a wave of his hand, Mu Feng’s men stepped forward, their own chilling guns now pointed at Su Ran’s people.

Mu’s mother, seeing the situation unfold, could no longer suppress the panic and rage inside her.

The panic was of course for Mu Yingchen, and the rage, well, one could imagine.

"Yingchen... let her go! The farther the better!"

"Su Wanxia! If it wasn’t for your repeated entanglements with Yingchen, how could things have turned out like this today? It’s all you! Everything is because of you!"

Mu’s mother became emotionally agitated; she was afraid. What if the guns accidentally discharged and hurt her son?

Upon hearing Mu’s mother’s words, Su Wanxia’s eyes filled with deep sadness.

She was right, it was her! It was all her fault---

Tears ran coldly down her face as if they would freeze in the chilly air the next moment.

Just like her body and heart, which had already grown cold without a hint of warmth.

"It’s---my fault! It’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have returned to the country, shouldn’t have wavered in my convictions, shouldn’t have let myself go, and most of all, shouldn’t have greedily wished to be with him!" Su Wanxia cried out despairingly!

After shouting these words, she numbly walked forward two steps, then turned around in a daze, gazing at the handsome and charming man in front of her.

The exuberant brows, deep-set eyes, high nose bridge, and those thin, light lips----

Such an elegantly handsome, coldly enchanting person, who had exhausted all her energy, but she still did not know how to extract the tormenting threads of affection from her mind, so her only choice was to distance herself—distance herself—

At that moment, Mu Yingchen was startled by her words, standing rooted to the spot. When he saw her turn to look at him, his eyes filled with intense affection.

His lips moved, about to say something to her, but she spoke before he could.

"So—this cannot continue—Achen—wake up... We can’t be together..."

Her quiet, low voice was like fine silver needles, so soft yet fiercely piercing straight into his heart!

The loving look in his eyes shattered into a million pieces in an instant!

What followed was pain, desolation, and struggle...

"How do you know it’s impossible if you never try..." His heart seemed to be bleeding.

Su Wanxia burst into tears and laughter, her gaze shifting as she slightly turned her head to look at the opposing sides facing each other with bated breath.

Her eyes finally settled on Mu’s mother’s piercingly sharp gaze. There—there was only disgust, hatred, and even a murderous intent to tear her to pieces!

She lowered her head weakly and laughed foolishly. After laughing for a while, she raised her eyes, teary, and looked at those obsidian-like eyes, her voice ethereal: "If you had to choose between your mother and me, who would you choose..."
