However, even though she was laughing in her heart, Jiujiu frowned on the surface. She looked at Murong with disapproval and said, "But Mr. Li seems to like her very much."
"You only know that Li Jue likes her. Why don't you know that I like you?" Mu Rong's eyes, which were as dark as the night, stared straight at Jiujiu as he calmly confessed his love.
Murong's sudden confession stunned Li Xiang, who came to report on his work.
After he recovered from the shock, Li Xiang was particularly sensible and retreated. He decisively prepared to report on his work after Jiujiu and Murong finished their meal. After all, he would be struck by lightning if he disturbed them when they were in a relationship. Moreover, his boss's temper was even smaller than a needle's eye.
Li Xiang was right. No wonder Jiujiu could run around and even jump twice under Murong's tolerance. It was because his boss had such thoughts about her.
After Li Xiang figured it out, he looked at Jiujiu with eyes full of admiration. It was simply too awesome to be able to handle their boss.
After being suddenly confessed by Murong and being looked at by Murong with a focused and affectionate gaze, Jiujiu's cheeks slowly turned red. As time passed, the red marks began to spread to her ears and neck. She looked like a big red apple, which looked particularly delicious.
Seeing Jiujiu's blushing face and ears, Murong drank the champagne in his hand. Just when he thought that he would not get a response from Jiujiu, he heard Jiujiu's soft voice, "I also like Mr. Mu."
Murong used to be gentle, but after that incident, his temper became overbearing. Moreover, Jiujiu had been by Li Jue's side for too long. When he thought of how Jiujiu met Li Jue every day and even cooked for him, Murong could not help but be jealous. Now that he was living under the same roof as Jiujiu, he naturally had to solemnly declare that he did not have the thoughts of a gentleman towards Jiujiu.
However, he never expected that Jiujiu would tell him that she liked him too.
Jiujiu's sudden response surprised Mu Rong. After a moment of shock, her cheeks turned red.
Mu Rong coughed lightly to hide the awkwardness on her face. Pursing her lips, she looked at Jiujiu and said, "Then compared to Li Jue?"
"I like Mr. Mu better." Jiujiu's little head tilted slightly. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Mr. Mu is good to me. He won't lie to me, and he is willing to let me go to school."
In front of outsiders, Li Jue at most had a cold image. However, in reality, Li Jue's nature was to plunder. On the contrary, Murong, a man who only knew how to plunder in the eyes of outsiders, actually had a soft heart. Plunder was just a facade to hide the softness in his heart.
Li Jue brought Jiujiu back just to take away Jiujiu's heart. Therefore, he kept covering up the evidence of Jiujiu's existence. However, Mu Rong was willing to give it to her.
He even told Jiujiu after bringing Jiujiu over that he had already contacted the school. She could return to school in a few days.
Mu Rong could take the initiative to propose Jiujiu before she said what she wanted. However, Li Jue would only eliminate Jiujiu's preferences when he knew what Jiujiu wanted.
Even if it was Cheng Xiaocao, if she really had to choose between Mu Rong and Li Jue, even if she only knew Mu Rong for two days, she would definitely choose Mu Rong.
Mu Rong was like the moonlight, extremely gentle.
Hearing Jiujiu say that she liked him better, the smile on Mu Rong's face deepened. Looking at Jiujiu, he said with a smile, "What do you want to do in the future?"
"I want to be a doctor and treat Mr. Mu's illness." Jiujiu looked at Mu Rong and said.
Jiujiu asked about his legs before, and Mu Rong also answered. At this moment, hearing Jiujiu say that she wanted to be a doctor and treat his illness, Mu Rong only felt a little warm in his heart and a little sweet in his mouth.
Mu Rong held the champagne and shook the champagne glass irregularly. He said casually, "I am a very possessive person. If you want to treat my illness, then you can only treat my illness in the future."
"I want to be a doctor to treat Mr. Mu." Jiujiu answered quickly and sincerely.
The reason why she chose to study medicine was that she wanted to have a formal license so that she could treat Mu Rong's legs. Doctors were too busy, and the time they could accompany Mu Rong was too short. Therefore, compared to being a doctor who saved lives and healed the injured and became famous all over the world, Jiujiu wanted to be Mu Rong's exclusive doctor more.
Jiujiu's answer made the smile on Mu Rong's face more sincere. Drinking the originally slightly sweet champagne in his mouth, it was as sweet as drinking honey to the bone. Mu Rong coughed lightly to hide the joy in his heart, "You have such a sweet mouth."
"I'm sincere."
"It's not that I don't believe you." Mu Rong put the champagne glass on the table. Looking at Jiujiu, he pretended to be serious and said, "I will ask Li Xiang to contact a teacher for you. Since you want to treat my illness, then you have to study hard. If you don't study well, I will be angry."
Li Jue knew that Jiujiu wanted to study medicine, and his first reaction was to ask why. However, Mu Rong invited a teacher for her and asked the teacher to teach her one-on-one carefully. It was obvious who was better and who was worse.
Jiujiu said sweetly in her heart, "Mr. Mu is so kind to me."
"The better is yet to come. Do you want to see your brother?"
When Mu Rong suddenly mentioned her brother, even Jiujiu was shocked, "Hasn't my brother passed away?"
"He's not dead, but he's almost dead." When he was found in the laboratory, he had been tortured by a group of lunatics and had only one breath left. Now, he was carefully nursing himself in the hospital.
However, this could not be said to Jiujiu, "Your brother was injured and is recuperating in the hospital. Give me some time, and I will give you a healthy brother."
Jiujiu really thought that Cheng Xiaocao's brother had been killed. She did not expect that Mu Rong could save her brother. At the same time, she felt more and more that Mu Rong was good to her.
Jiujiu said with great sincerity, "Thank you, Mr. Mu."
"How do you want to thank me?"
Jiujiu looked at Mu Rong and said firmly, "As long as Mr. Mu wants it, as long as I have it, I will give it to you."
"I don't lack anything, but I lack a woman," Mu Rong said half-casually and half-seriously.
Jiujiu did not take Mu Rong's words as a joke because of his casual tone. Instead, she answered very seriously, "When I grow up, I will marry Mr. Mu. Is that okay?"
Jiujiu's answer pleased Mu Rong. Mu Rong raised his hand and pinched Jiujiu's cheek. He chuckled and said, "But I'm a lame man. Are you still willing to marry me?"
Mu Rong said the words "I'm a lame man" in a joking tone, but Jiujiu felt particularly uncomfortable. Jiujiu pursed her lips and looked at Mu Rong with a serious face, "I like Mr. Mu. I like Mr. Mu as a person. It has nothing to do with other things."
