Chapter 96 - The past is now forgotten.

Su Menxiang looked at her senior brother in bafflement at his statement as she struggled to understand what he was saying. She couldn't believe that he could still say such a thing after what he had done. "Senior Brother, please be reasonable! How can you ask me to abandon the father of my baby and the man I love just because he is dying, especially when this whole thing is your fault?!"

Su Ying Pei narrowed his eyes at his indignant sister as he grabbed his wine glass. The waiter who was approaching them suddenly halted when he saw his master's sudden change of mood and he didn't dare take another step. "How did you find out about this?"

Su Menxiang laughed angrily at her brother's question, clenching her fists. Apparently, everyone still thought she was still an ignorant young lady even her own family. "What? Are you that suprised to find out that your little sister isn't as stupid as she once was? How could you do it? He is like our own family!"

Su Ying Pei hit the table with a thud, sending his little sister in a state of shock as she turned stiff but he ignored the faint spark of fear that passed through her eyes. "I did it for you, Xiang'er! How could I stand there doing nothing while he insulted you by breaking off your engagement without a valid reason? Does he think that all your brothers are dead or what?!"

Once she had managed to thaw the icy feeling that ran through her blood, she responded with a smaller voice. "But that conflict was supposed to be solved between us. You didn't even investigate the whole story before you took action, you just sent the only child of the Mo family on the path to death!"

Her senior brother seemed to have restrained his emotions better as he leaned back and ordered the frightened waiter to serve them food as he said. "Well, there was no need to listen to his excuses and lies when you were busy crying so much with no one to vent your anger for you. Revenge should be a dish served very cold, little sister."

Su Menxiang had finally reached her limits with him so she stood up angrily as she looked at him with threatening eyes. "That's enough! Let me tell you now, Mo Bingwen is my life. I won't let him die no matter what it takes so I suggest you start turning your interests into making a cure for the poison you invented or I will end my life to make sure he survives this. I will!"

Su Ying Pei didn't even have the time to respond as he saw his sister storm out of the restaurant with tears in her eyes. He clenched his fist and suddenly wiped glass and wine bottle off the table in a fit of rage, his blood boiling all over again as the wine spilled across the clean tiled floor. His ȧssistant who had been waiting outside obediently immediately rushed into the room, looking at the mess with confused eyes. "Sir, please calm your anger. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Su Ying Pei stood up as well and started to walk away as he muttered to himself in annoyance. "This is why you should always finish the job cleanly. I should have killed him when I had the chance. I think it's time to finish this..."

Su Menxiang continued to drive without a clear vision as she continued to wipe her tears in intervals. She tried her best to keep her emotions in check knowing that it wasn't good for the baby so she parked her car to the side of the road as she regulated her breathing and tried to calm herself. She had just closed her eyes when she felt her phone ringing so she picked it up. "Hello?"

"Menxiang, where are you? Chunlan told me that you would meet me in the house but it's been two hours already. Where are you?" Mo Bingwen's worried voice resonated through her ears, making her eyes turn watery again.

She wiped her cheeks before she spoke up "Can...you come and pick me up? I really don't feel so well. I will tell you where I am."

A few minutes ago, she jerked up and raised her head from the steering wheel to see Mo Bingwen knocking at her car window. She immediately opened the door and rushed out to hug him, almost knocking him over as she wrapped her hands around his waist.

"I am sorry." She sobbed into his shirt as she felt his icy skin and her heart broke at the pain that he must suffering from the poison. "My brother, he... It's all my fault!"

Mo Bingwen wrapped his arms around her and held her as he comforted her. He knew that none of this was her fault but this was just how their world worked. They would do anything to protect their own even it meant going against the world. "Stop crying, I have already forgotten about the matter. Be a good girl and stop crying. You will look very ugly on our wedding day if you continue like this."

Su Menxiang raised her head to look at him and for a moment, he forgot how to breathe when he looked into her smiling eyes that had a tinge of guilt and remorse. "Do you really think we will be happy? After everything that has happened? Can you really forgive..."

Mo Bingwen cut her words off as he drew her close for a melting kiss. Their lips intertwined along with the salty taste of her taste and they stood there, lost in each other's embrace. When they finally separated, he smiled and replied. "From now on, between you and I, we would have no hatred and grudges.. The past is now forgotten. Su Menxiang, will you be my wife?"
