Chapter 280 Little Monster I Love You
In Jinyang Villa, the chandelier in the restaurant cast a gentle and slightly dim light, silently enveloping the three people sitting around the dining table.
The quiet atmosphere weighed heavily on everyone's heart like a substance; the three of them just remained silent, and the air seemed to have frozen.
Mu Xiaoji was the first to break the suffocating silence. He raised his head slightly and said softly, "Uncle Guo, it's getting late. You should go back to your room and get some rest!"
His voice was particularly clear in the quiet restaurant, with a hint of an effort to lighten the atmosphere.
Dean Guo's eyes slowly moved from the table to Mu Xiaoji's face. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including the majesty of an elder and deep worry. He slowly spoke, his voice full of the vicissitudes of life and seriousness: "What are you two going to do?"
Mu Xiaoji shrugged slightly, his expression seemed relaxed, but there was a hint of stubbornness in his overly calm eyes. He responded lightly: "I don't think there is anything wrong between the two of us."
When Dean Guo heard this, his originally serious face instantly turned red, his eyebrows raised high, and he said angrily: "Xiao Ji, what's your attitude, kid?"
His voice unconsciously rose a few notches, with obvious dissatisfaction and rebuke.
Jiang Chengyu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He knew that Dean Guo was really angry at the moment. He quickly reached out and gently patted Dean Guo's arm, trying to comfort him:
"Uncle Guo, please don't be angry first; this is all my fault, I..." But when the words came to my lips, I didn't know how to continue.
Dean Guo had already turned his anger towards Jiang Chengyu. His eyes were filled with reproach and confusion. He angrily said to Jiang Chengyu:
Yu'er, you always look calm and steady, how come you can act so foolishly with Xiaoji? Tell me, what are you two going to do in the future?"
Jiang Chengyu was a little overwhelmed by this series of questions. He slowly lowered his head, and the hair on his forehead slightly covered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression at the moment.
His hands unconsciously clenched slightly and placed on his knees. His lips trembled slightly, but he still couldn't utter a word. He didn't know what to do.
Mu Xiaoji looked at Jiang Chengyu's embarrassment and felt a little distressed. He took a deep breath, trying to make his expression look calmer, and said calmly:
"Little Monster, go back to your bedroom and have a rest. You've been tired all day! Let me talk to Uncle Guo over here." There was unquestionable firmness in his tone.
Jiang Chengyu was still worried. He raised his head and stared at Mu Xiaoji with a look of worry in his eyes: "Xiaoji, you've been socializing all day. I'm worried that you won't be able to hold on."
There was a hint of fatigue and hoarseness in his voice, but it was still full of concern for Mu Xiaoji.
Mu Xiaoji raised his chin slightly, with no intention of retreating in his eyes, and said confidently: "Uncle Guo, we are not three-year-old children anymore!
The decision we made was no joke, and it was not made on impulse. There was really nothing wrong with this matter for us.
You see, we are all adults now, and in this era, we should have the right to love freely. As for gender, I think it should not be an obstacle in the face of true love.
When two people are in tune with each other and attracted to each other, it doesn't matter whether they are men or women. What's important is that they can happily accompany each other for a lifetime.
In this long journey of life, isn't it more important to find someone who truly understands and loves you than to follow those traditional concepts? "
When Dean Guo heard this, his body trembled violently, his lips trembled slightly, and his outstretched fingers began to tremble. He pointed at Mu Xiaoji and uttered a few words with difficulty after a long while:
"Xiao Ji, you...how can you say such a thing? Do you know that this goes against common sense and worldly views?"
There was a hint of grief in his voice, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen because of excitement. Veins bulged faintly on his forehead. He looked like he had been greatly shocked. He could not accept that Mu Xiaoji expressed emotions and ideas that were contrary to the secular world so frankly and firmly.
Mu Xiaoji looked at Dean Guo's excited look and sighed softly, but his eyes remained firm: "Uncle Guo, I know this is hard for you to accept.
But these days, Little Devil and I have been through so much together, and those ups and downs have made us more certain of our feelings for each other.
In this world, there are many people who are in a seemingly normal marriage relationship between men and women, but do not get real happiness and understanding.
He and I support each other and accompany each other, whether facing difficulties or enjoying happiness, we will always stay together. "
Dean Guo slowly lowered his hand, but it hung weakly at his side. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including anger, helplessness, and a trace of unspeakable sadness:
"Xiaoji, you have grown up beside me since you were a child, and I have always treated you as my own child. All I hope is that you can live a smooth and stable life recognized by everyone.
But have you ever thought about what kind of situation your current choice will put you in? The pressure of public opinion, the expectations and responsibilities of your family, all of these are like a mountain, which will make you breathless. "
Mu Xiaoji leaned forward slightly and looked at Dean Guo sincerely: "Uncle Guo, I understand your concerns.
But if you give up your true inner desires in order to please others, what is the meaning of such a life?
I am willing to face all the challenges that may arise in the future, as long as I can walk hand in hand with the little monster."
Dean Guo slowly turned around, with his back to Mu Xiaoji. He looked a little lonely and hunched over: "How are you going to explain this to your mother?
She has been hoping that you can get married, start a family, and live a normal and happy life. Your decision will break her heart."
Mu Xiaoji was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I know I am not living up to my mother's expectations, but I don't want to build a false life with lies and disguises.
I will find time to have a good talk with my mother. No matter what the result is, I must respect my own heart."
At this moment, a heavy and depressing atmosphere filled the room, as if an invisible storm was quietly brewing.
Dean Guo straightened his back and turned his back to them. His back seemed to carry endless worries and heaviness. His voice was low and serious.
He broke the heavy silence in the room and said, "Go to bed early! I still hope that you two will think about it carefully. After all, this is a matter of a lifetime."
After saying that, he slightly raised his foot. His originally steady steps now seemed exceptionally heavy. Every step he took seemed to carry a tremendous amount of force. He slowly walked upstairs, step by step, and his figure gradually disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Mu Xiaoji stared quietly in the direction where President Guo left, with an indelible stubbornness flickering in his eyes, like a star in the dark night, stubbornly emitting his own light.
He clenched his teeth slightly, and the lines of his jaw were tense, as if silently declaring his inner firmness and determination.
Jiang Chengyu stood aside, frowning slightly, and murmured silently in his heart: "Uncle Guo, I understand your traditional concepts. In your eyes, this may be difficult to understand and unacceptable.
Now Xiaoji's baby is about to be born, which should be a joyous event, but I can't tell you in person yet.
I am well aware of the complexity and difficulty involved, and I am also afraid of facing Xiaoji's disappointment and betrayal, indifference and anger.
Please forgive my helplessness and my indulgence towards Xiaoji. All of this is just because we are deeply trapped in this relationship and cannot extricate ourselves and do not want to give up. "
His eyes revealed a hint of pain and struggle, and his hands were unconsciously clenched slightly, as if he was silently fighting against the contradictions and entanglements in his heart.
Mu Xiaoji's eyes shot out a look as sharp as an arrow as he looked straight at Jiang Chengyu, and that look seemed to penetrate his soul.
Then, a rebuke filled with dissatisfaction and questioning came out: "Little monster, what are you talking about?" The voice echoed in the silent space, carrying a hint of unquestionable majesty.
Jiang Chengyu seemed to be suddenly pulled back to reality from some blurred thoughts. His body shook violently, and his eyes, which were originally a little dazed, suddenly became evasive, with a look of astonishment on his face.
He stammered, "No, I didn't say anything?" His eyes subconsciously avoided Mu Xiaoji's gaze, like a child who had done something wrong, trying to cover up a secret.
When Mu Xiaoji saw Jiang Chengyu like this, he became even more unhappy. His brows were tightly knitted into the shape of a "川" character, and his tone was obviously filled with anger:
"Little Monster, you have been acting strangely since you came back from the practice party at the Four Seasons Hotel in Kuncheng. What are you hiding from me?"
He took a step forward, the distance between them instantly shortened, and the atmosphere became more tense and depressing.
Jiang Chengyu shrank back slightly, forcing a faint smile on his face, and quickly responded: "No, Xiaoji, you've been tired all day, go back to your room and rest early!"
He tried to divert Mu Xiaoji's attention with caring words, but this trick obviously didn't work.
There was a flash of determination in Mu Xiaoji's eyes. He took a step forward, stretched out his right hand like lightning, and grabbed Jiang Chengyu's neck. The force seemed to convey all the doubts and anger in his heart through this hand.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You are always like this. When I get to the point, you use other things to prevaricate me. Little monster, I have known you for a long time. Can't I see what you are thinking?
So don't try to do any other tricks, I just want you to face this matter seriously with me.
As long as I, Mu Xiaoji, don't give in, we will never be defeated by secular views. Do you understand?"
There was a burning fire in his eyes, a desire for the truth and a firm belief in their feelings.
Jiang Chengyu's face turned red instantly and his breathing became rapid. His throat was tightly pinched and he could only make weak sounds with difficulty. His face was full of pain. Helplessly, he could only nod slowly, but his eyes still hid a trace of unspeakable complex emotions.
Mu Xiaoji looked at the painful expression on the little monster's face, and his eyes softened instantly. He loosened his hand that was pinching the little monster's neck, and hugged him tightly in his arms; he whispered softly: "Little monster, I love you!"
Jiang Chengyu calmly enjoyed the gentle care and unyielding protection given to him by Mu Xiaoji, as if he was a ship that finally reached the shore after going through storms and found peace in the warm harbor.
