Mu Mantong smiled at Lu Qingmei. The dimples on both sides of her fair cheeks were very deep, and her smile was especially sweet. It made one feel comfortable just looking at her.
Mu Mantong wasn't a fool. When she arrived at the Fu family manor early in the morning, she could already sense that something was amiss …
Putting aside the fact that Fu Tianci. hadn't appeared, there were still two bodyguards guarding the door of his room.
She asked the servants who delivered the food to her where Fu Tianci was, but they all mumbled that he was in the inner residence and didn't say anything else!
Mu Mantong and Fu Tianci had met previously, and the two of them had gotten along quite well. However, Fu Tianci had clearly expressed that he had no intention of getting engaged to Mu Mantong. It wasn't because Mu Mantong's legs were inconvenient!
Fu Tianci said … it was because the two of them didn't have much of a relationship to begin with, and it wasn't like an arranged marriage in ancient times. How could they decide on it after just one meeting?
Fu Tianci was very straightforward with his words. He was still young, and he had yet to meet a girl that he liked. He didn't wish to meet one day, only to be engaged to Mu Mantong!
He also knew what Fu Qingquan was planning. He didn't want to ruin his lifelong happiness just to get the Kaide Corporation.
He even said that Mu Mantong was older than him. Even if they were reluctantly engaged now, if he met a girl he liked one day, he would definitely cancel the engagement with Mu Mantong. It was because he wouldn't let the girl he liked suffer the slightest grievance!
Therefore, after much thought, he felt that it would be unfair to Mu Mantong if the two of them got engaged. Therefore, he didn't want to get engaged.
The honest Fu Tianci made Mu Mantong feel very comfortable interacting with him.
All these years, Mu Mantong didn't really come into contact with outsiders, much less men. She always felt inferior because she was in a wheelchair.
Fu Tianci was one of the few men — or rather, boys — that Mu Mantong had seen!
However, Fu Tianci was like a boy who had walked out from a comic. His overall disposition was so clean, frank, and sunny, making Mu Mantong yearn for him.
She did not know if that was love …
However, when she heard from her father that Fu Tianci had agreed to get engaged to her, she was elated!
She had always remembered Fu Tianci's words — he wouldn't let the girl he liked suffer the slightest grievance!
Mu Mantong didn't know if she would have that chance, that honor … to become the lady that Fu Tianci liked.
No matter what, Mu Mantong wanted to give it a try …
This was the first time in many years that she wanted to work hard for something.
Therefore, Mu Mantong agreed to the engagement and came to the Fu family manor.
Lu Qingmei was worried about letting Fu Tianci and Mu Mantong chat alone, afraid that something might go wrong!
But Mu Mantong had seen enough strange things today. Lu Qingmei could only nod and agree.
Before leaving, Lu Qingmei turned around and reminded Fu Tianci, "Remember to eat some snacks and drink some milk!"
His words also hinted that he was warning Fu Tianci. not to speak recklessly.
Fu Tianci. didn't utter a sound and turned his head away.
The auntie behind Mu Mantong looked at Lu Qingmei's back view and could vaguely guess that the mother and son were probably at odds with each other.
She hoped that it wasn't because Fu Tianci didn't want to get engaged to Mu Mantong. She had watched Mu Mantong grow up, and Mu Mantong was like her biological daughter. To put it bluntly, a mother knew her daughter best. She knew that Mu Mantong had fallen for Fu Tianci.
Lu Qingmei stood at the door and smiled at Mu Mantong. She opened the door wider. "Come in first!"
Mu Mantong nodded, and the Mu family's auntie pushed Mu Mantong in.
"Auntie Wu, you can go out too. I want to have a private chat with Tianci …"
Mu Mantong's words were directed at the Mu family's auntie, as well as Lu Qingmei.
"Alright! I'll be at the door. Miss, call me when you're done chatting! "
The Mu family's auntie smiled at Lu Qingmei after saying that, respectfully asking Lu Qingmei to go out first. She followed closely behind and closed the door for the two kids.
The room was lit up, but it was a mess.
Mu Mantong sat in her wheelchair, her clean and beautiful big eyes sweeping over the potato chip crumbs on the floor … and then looking at Fu Tianci, the corners of her lips curled up into a big smile, her two dimples looking especially pretty.
Fu Tianci looked at the smiling Mu Mantong, his countenance a little grim. He casually grabbed a pillow and hugged it to his chest, propping up his face with one hand as he lay on the bed. "What are you trying to say?"
Fu Tianci's attitude toward Mu Mantong was different from before. This time around, his attitude was clearly worse than before.
Mu Mantong didn't mind, nor did she try to move her wheelchair closer to Fu Tianci. She asked, "Are you unwilling to get engaged to me?"
"What are you pretending for? Didn't I make myself clear the last time? " Fu Tianci sneered. "Anyway, I've already told you. If you insist on getting engaged to me, then I'll do it! Anyway, there are two bodyguards guarding the door, so I won't be able to run away! "
Fu Tianci's gaze swept over Mu Mantong's legs. "If I were to run away, my mom would probably catch me back and break my legs, forcing me to get engaged to you with her legs!"
It was said that one shouldn't hit someone in the face, and one shouldn't expose someone's shortcomings. Fu Tianci's words were too vicious.
Mu Mantong's face turned pale.
Her clean and beautiful small hands tightened their grip on her dress, and she smiled with much difficulty. "I can't leave … this isn't something I can control. If you don't want to get engaged to me because of this, then I can go and tell our elders. But I want you to know that I didn't shamelessly pester you to get engaged. It was your father and mother who personally called me and told me that you agreed to get engaged. That's why I agreed. It was only when I came to the Fu manor today and saw people looking at you that I realized … that you didn't agree!"
Lu Qingmei was capable of doing something like this!
Fu Tianci felt a little uneasy after wrongly accusing Mu Mantong, but he didn't show it. He continued to look down at Mu Mantong with a condescending attitude.
"Tianci …" Mu Mantong called out Fu Tianci's name softly. "I don't know if you mind my legs. If you don't mind my legs, I think …"
Mu Mantong's heart was beating very fast, and her palms were sweaty. She gripped her dress tightly. "I want to give it a try and see if I can become the lady you like!"
Fu Tianci was stunned, unable to react in time.
Fu Tianci didn't hate Mu Mantong. In fact, he even felt a little sympathy for her.
However, Mu Mantong had suddenly confessed to him with a flushed face, causing Fu Tianci to be at a loss as to what to do.
It wasn't that Fu Tianci hadn't been confessed to by young ladies over the years. No matter who it was, Fu Tianci had always been able to reject them cleanly.
However, Mu Mantong was a lady who couldn't stand up straight. Fu Tianci had always been soft-hearted, so he couldn't bring himself to say those vicious words.
