Chapter 143 - Consider our marriage

After a whole day of sleep, Ru Shi finally recovered her strength. After freshening up she came downstairs. She saw Li Mu Chang was saying something to the cook which made the old woman smiled. Hearing the familiar footsteps, Mu Chang turned to look at her. "Good morning." Ru Shi raised her brows when she heard him but said nothing. She smiled softly as she greeted him back. "Good morning.' The cook smiled warmly as she said, "Miss Ru, come and eat. I have prepared your favorite food."

Ru shi smiled as she nodded, "Thank you." The moment Ru Shi sat down, Mu Chang placed a cup of milk in front of her. "Drink." Ru Shi smiled as she took the milk. Suddenly, Mu Chang asked, "Kitten, do you think you're already pregnant with my child after last night?" Ru Shi spewed out the milk when she heard him. "cough..cough what are you talking about?" Ru Shi asked as she turned to look at him.

"What? If you are not pregnant then that means there is something wrong with me. I have to go check at the hospital. After my hard work last night I'm really sure you're pregnant." Mu Chang grinned as he stared at her stomach. "Li Mu Chang!!! Don't talk nonsense." Mu Chang chuckled, "well, we will just have to wait and see."

Ru Shi ignored him. After they finished their breakfast, Mu Chang wiped his mouth gracefully with a napkin as he said, "Since it's weekend do you want to visit your parents?" Ru shi blinked when she heard him. Of course, she wants to visit them. she still remembers that night when the police came to tell her she has lost her parents. The night was the beginning of her misery.

"if you want to go I will accompany you. After all, I haven't officially met my future in-laws. " Mu Chang said faintly. "What future inlaws? Who said I will marry you?" Ru Shi snorted. Although she doesn't want to admit it, she was very happy when she heard him. She wonders if her parents were still, will they like Mu Chang?

Ru Shi thought in a daze. "Of course you will, how can you say no to a hot guy like me? I'm rich, I can cook, I'm handsome and super good in bed. Am I not the best candidate to be your husband?" Mu Chang asked as he folded his arms staring at her. "Who said you're good in bed? You're terrible!" Ru Shi said as she stares at him. 

Mu Chang chuckled when she heard her. "But your body says a different thing when you're under me." Ru Shi turned crimson red when she heard him. "Shameless man!" She said as she throws a napkin at him. Mu Chang laughed. "But you like it when I'm shameless." He said as he winks at her. "You…!" Ru Shi was just speechless. The cook smiled when she heard their bickering. These young people will kill her with their flirtings.

When they reached the cemetery, Mu Chang gently held her hands was the walked through the snow-filled ground, making their way to where her parents are buried. When the reach her parents' tombstone. Ru shi finally whispered breaking the silence. "Mom and dad I will like you to meet Mu Chang."

She looked at him trying to hide the sadness she felt at the moment. Mu Chang bowed his head as he greeted. "Hello, I'm Li Mu Chang." He said softly. Ru shi let go of his hands as crouched down.

"I wish you could actually meet him, mom and dad. He is like the prince charming in the stories tht you used to read to me. You would like him. He makes me very happy." Ru Shi smiled. "I miss you mom and dad...but I don't feel sad anymore. I know you wouldn't have wanted that….he made me realized that. Now I'm going to work hard to make you proud of me. I know you will be watching me from above."

Ru Shi said trying very hard not to cry. Because she wanted to be strong. But remembering all the good times she had with her parents made it hard for her to keep her composure. Mu Chang stood by her side without saying anything. he was silently by her side supporting her. They stayed there, for a long time in silence. Then Mu Chang took finally straightened up and took hold of her hands. He smiled as he looked as her gently. "Don't worry Mr. and Mrs. Ru, I will take dare of your daughter. After all, she is my heart, I can't hurt my heart . I just hope you will give me your blessing." Ru Shi smiled.

When they got back to the car, Mu Chang stopped Ru Shi from walking and took his face between her palms making her stare into his eyes. "You have grown up very well kitten. You're now the most extraordinary woman I have ever met. "Your parents would be so proud of you. "

Ru Shi leaned his head in her palm, probably trying to stop those tears that have been threatening to fall, and whispered. "I love you." Mu Chang smiled radiantly. "I know silly, I love you too." He said as he kissed her forehead gently.

When they sat in the car, nobody talk as they were lost in their own thoughts. But the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. Ru Shi looked at the scenery as Mu Chang drives. Suddenly Mu Chang's voice sounded in the silence car."Ru Shi". Ru Shi looked at the scenery as she answered. "hmm."

"Now that I have met your parents, have you considered the matter of us getting married?" Ru Shi froze when she heard him. She turned to look at him as if he was mentally retarded. "Li Mu Chang, even though I am so totally, completely, overwhelmingly, eye-poppingly, life-changingly, spectacularly, passionately, deliciously in love with you. let me warn you. If you dare propose to me in this car. You will surely die!"

Mu Chang chuckled when he heard her. "hmm. Good girl" he said as he kissed her forehead gently. Ru Shi smiled.
