It was quiet along the way, but in the end, Su Yu Chen still couldn't help but ask: "He …"

"Su Yu Chen." Qin Mu suddenly opened her mouth and interrupted her, calling her name in a serious tone.

Yu Chen was startled, she blinked her eyes suspiciously: "What?"

"I hope that in the future, when you're in trouble, you'll be the first to think of me." His voice was as indifferent as ever, but his tone was incomparably domineering.

Until a long time later, when Su Yu Chen once again recalled the little bits and pieces between the two of them, as well as the moment that made her heart palpitate, these words of his was one of them.

There were many times that she had wondered what kind of person Qin Mu was, why did he always be able to say such warm, heart-palpitating words. They could clearly only be considered normal friends, but he gave her a protected sense of security, as if as long as he was here, she could have nothing to fear.

She was afraid that she would fall for his soft trap. When a man with a cold and ruthless appearance showed you his gentle and emotional side, any woman would be unable to resist him, including Su Yu Chen.

"Did you hear that?" It was as if everything was taken for granted.

He was supposed to be her protector, and she was supposed to be on his side.

The scariest thing was that she actually felt some faint joy in her heart. This joy was something she had never experienced before.

In fact, like all girls, she yearned for love and for a strong protector. Even at this moment, she tried her best to protect her heart and not let it waver because of this man again and again.

However, the more she understood that treated her differently, the more she was afraid of taking even a single step out of the lightning pool. She was afraid that if she took this step, she would be doomed.

The most painful thing for a person was to be able to lose again.

Su Yu Chen had always been a very clear-headed person. She wasn't the kind of person who only wished to have those in the past. Either she didn't want them, or she wanted them for life, and Qin Mu was clearly the type of man that she couldn't afford.

"What's on Saturday?" Qin Mu changed the topic.

"Huh?" Su Yu Chen was startled for a moment, she turned her head to look at him and answered decisively, "No arrangements."

It was hard to tell if her silly, cute look pleased him, or if it was because she said there was no arrangement.

"I want to make a trip to North City on Saturday." Qin Mu asked, "Shall we go together?"

He was clearly not a couple, yet he could always speak so naturally, as if he was sure that she would agree.

"North City?" Su Yu Chen was silent for a moment. Only the heavens knew if she was really considering whether or not she should go.

Just now, An Ze Hao had arranged to meet with her on Saturday. Although he had rejected him, she felt that guy was stubborn, and that he would probably just go around her and directly ask for his parents. At that time, even if she wanted to, he wouldn't be able to push him away.

Only, going with Qin Mu, her heart was a little tangled.

"GLB has a cooperative project here, I need to go over for the weekend." Qin Mu unhurriedly coaxed her, "The weather now is the most beautiful time for North City to reward the Maple Leaf."

"Maple Leaf?" Su Yu Chen's eyebrows jumped, a look of joy flashing past her eyes, she had always liked the maple leaves. When she was young, she would save all of the maple leaves she picked as a sample or as a bookmark, and when she grew up, although she did not have this kind of free time or elegance, she would find an opportunity to appreciate the maple leaves.

"If you don't have any plans, you can come with me." Qin Mu took the opportunity and said, "If you really do not feel safe, let your friends and colleagues go with us."

These words were filled with grievance no matter how one looked at it.

Su Yu Chen suddenly felt that she was really not a normal person. The other party had invited him to play outside, and it was fine if she was being hypocritical here, but she acted as if she didn't believe him.

"I'm not worried." Without going through the brain, he blurted out.

Qin Mu did not ignore Su Yu Chen's vexed look. He hid the smile in his eyes and continued to speak expressionlessly: "Then I will ask Qu Yang to arrange some things for me."

Since the other party had already said so, if Su Yu Chen still continued to reject her offer, she would not be able to tell what was wrong with her.

"Did that person just meet your parents?" Qin Mu suddenly brought up the topic that Yu Chen wanted to raise earlier.

Su Yu Chen's expression froze for a moment, as if she was hesitating, but then she quickly nodded and responded: "Mn, my family arranged a blind date for me."

There was a long silence.

Qin Mu did not say anything, and Yu Chen did not know whether to continue until he parked the car next to her apartment building.

"Want to get married?" Qin Mu tilted his head and looked at Yu Chen, who was beside him.

Su Yu Chen was amused by his serious expression and could not help but grin: "I'm already twenty-eight, so it's natural for me to want to get married, right?"

"Do I fit your criteria?" Qin Mu looked at her seriously, his deep eyes hiding a complex emotion that she could not understand.

But there was one thing she could understand. He seemed to be serious.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Su Yu Chen's mouth gaped open, and it took a long time for him to find his voice.

She knew that she must be very, very dumb right now, but she was really shocked. Did Qin Mu really not know what she was saying?

And the only thing that answered her was a bullying black figure, as well as his extremely gentle kiss.

It was their first kiss, and she was caught off guard while he attacked.

So, Qin Mu kissed her?
