Mu Yancheng’s expression became solemn. “I just got promoted, so I don’t have a strong foothold in the company. If I marry into the Song family, I can stabilize my position. Hence, I followed my Second Uncle’s wishes and agreed to marry her!”
Meng Qingxue bit her lip hard.
I can’t accept this!
I won’t take it lying down!
“In the end, because I’m just an ordinary person without any status or background, I can’t be with you, right?”
Meng Qingxue coldly smiled and suddenly took a deep breath. “How ridiculous! What’s the meaning of marriage? Isn’t marriage supposed to be a culmination of love? Yet, all you care about is whether your family backgrounds are compatible. How absurd!”
Mu Yancheng suddenly fell silent.
When Meng Qingxue noticed his silence, she felt even more despaired. Suddenly, she spun around and silently sat on the bench. Unable to hold her tears back anymore, they dribbled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Song Enya was right.
He can love her and give her all the wealth and glory, but he can never give her a legitimate title.
If I continue staying by his side, how am I different from a caged canary?
Although I swore that I’ll snatch Mu Yanchengg away from her side, I just don’t have a family background like hers. Damn it!
These two words, “family background”, were enough to utterly crush her.
Mu Yancheng walked over and sat down beside her. Stretching his arm out, he pulled her into his embrace.
“Qingxue, don’t overthink! I can swear to you that I don’t have any feelings for Song Enya whatsoever! Everything is just for show. I won’t go out and drink like I did in the past. I promise that from now on, you’re the only person I’ll be nice to. I’ll take good care of you!”
Mu Yanchengg promised her again and again, “You’re the only woman I’ll have from now on! There will be no other women. Qingxue, I am a man of my words. This is my promise to you!”
“You can give me everything, but you just can’t marry me!” Meng Qingxue suddenly became agitated.
“Why are you so obsessed with marriage?”
Mu Yancheng threw the question back to her, feeling puzzled.
Meng Qingxue’s expression suddenly froze. She bitterly glared at him and spat, “Then, what should I be obsessed with? Isn’t marriage where love rightfully belongs? Isn’t it something that should be expected? Marriage is not only a legitimate title, but it’s also a form of basic respect for me, Mu Yanchengg, do you know what I need?”
Silent, Mu Yancheng gazed back at her expressionlessly.
Meng Qingxue felt even more aggrieved due to his silence. Gasping, her eyes reddened as she said in a nonchalant tone, “I saw the news some time ago that Mu Yazhe’s fiancée is that popular A-list celebrity, Yun Shishi! I know that he’s your second brother. I also know that he’s willing to abandon everything in the Mu Group for Yun Shishi, including his glamorous position in the company! I was so touched when I saw it. I’m so envious of Yun Shishi because she married for love. However, this kind of utopian-like love is something that I can only long for, but never achieve. To be honest, when I saw the news, I was so overwhelmed with envy. Why can Yun Shishi be so happy while I can only live so miserably?”
Mu Yancheng abruptly interrupted her, “Are you blaming me for this?”
“I…”
Mu Yancheng asked again, “Are you blaming me for being useless?”
“…”
