You must marry me

Today is Saturday, I just remembered, the 99th gave me a micro signal, said the weekend can video chat.

The children of the orphanage all had no surname. She didn't know that her surname was Mu and only had one name.

My heart is sweet as honey.

The application was approved very quickly, and he just happened to be online.

I received the message from Xiao Jiu, "Auntie Lu!"

I thought of something and hurried out of the tea-shop.

His phone received Little Jiu Jiu's video chat request.

"Hey!" Auntie Lu! " Little Jiu Jiu was on the other side of the phone, laughing very happily.

"I walked down the street and caught a car."

"Didn't you say that you would visit me every week from now on? You didn't come last week, and WeChat didn't add me."

As he spoke, his little face was contorted in a very aggrieved expression.

"I'm sorry, Jiu Jiu. Auntie just came home and was too busy, so there was a temporary delay. I didn't break the contract today, I'm heading to the orphanage!"

The bitter face on the screen suddenly revealed a smile: "Really!? Really?! "Really?!"

He excitedly asked a few "Really?!"

"Of course."

"Then I'll wait for you obediently at the orphanage!"

"Alright."

After hanging up, my heart ached.

For seven years, Little Jiu Jiu lived alone in an orphanage.

The dean said that he was smarter than his peers and had a quick reaction. Many of the couples who came to adopt liked Xiao Jiu at first glance. He was good-looking, smart and had a quick reaction, so he should be able to be adopted within two or three months.

The dean said he was curious. He usually performed very well, but before adoption, when he was with the adoptive couples, he had become a completely different person.

Low, depressed, unhappy.

No one wants a dead child at such a young age.

As a result, up to the age of seven, no one took him away.

When I heard the abbot say this, I felt more relief than pain.

It's a good thing he wasn't taken away, or I really wouldn't have known how to meet him.

However, thinking like this, he was too selfish.

The dean told me that Little Jiu Jiu was only happy when he was with me.

His thoughts were in a mess as he stopped the car. He had arrived at the orphanage.

The dean was waiting for me at the entrance as usual.

"You finally came."

She said: "Last week, Little Jiu Jiu Jiu said you promised to come every week, but he didn't come. He sat in the yard all night."

My heart throbbed with pain at the abbot's words.

"It's a good thing you came today. He's waiting for you inside."

"Thank you, Dean."

After bidding farewell to the dean, I headed straight for room 99.

In a room full of children, Little Jiu Jiu sat alone reading a book.

"Ninety-nine."

I went in and called to him softly.

He turned his head and saw me. His small frown widened.

"Auntie Lu!" He rushed over and hugged me. "You're finally here!"

I took him in my arms and sat down.

"Why don't you go play in the yard with the other children? I think they're playing a game. "

Xiao Jiu shook his head, "I don't like to be friends."

I sighed.

This is exactly the same as me.

"Come, let me see if my 99 years old have grown."

He jumped out of my arms, small and tall.

"I look so good!"

I laughed. "That's good."

"Hey, where's Uncle Peng? He didn't come with you this time either?"

I shook my head. "Your Uncle Peng has been quite busy lately."

That night I stayed with Little Jiu Jiu through the night, reading with him, sleeping with him.

Being able to spend the whole night with him like a mother is the happiest thing that ever happened to me.

With Jiu Jiu, he could think of nothing, put down all the troubles in the outside world, and only concentrate on loving Jiu Jiu and accompanying him.

I feel that the happiest thing I've ever done in my life is to give birth to my 99th birthday.

When it was time to leave the next day, he coincidentally bumped into a couple who had come to adopt a child.

"This is the third time they've been here. They've come twice before, and they've been watching for a long time. Last time, before they left, they told me that they took a fancy to 99."

I was walking side by side with the abbot in the courtyard when I heard her say this.

"They want to adopt ninety-nine?"

The dean nodded.

It was hard to say what he was feeling in his heart. It was a complicated feeling, as if thousands of emotions had rushed into his heart at once.

I should be happy for him. He can finally find a whole family and enjoy his parents' complete love.

"What do they do?"

"They are both university professors and they have been married for more than ten years without a child, so they want to adopt one. The couple are very good and look like they really love children."

I nodded.

A good family.

"Miss Lu." The dean suddenly said, "I know that you really like 99% of the people here."

"Yes."

"So, you also hope that Jiu Jiu will have his own home, right?"

I nodded.

The bitterness in his heart, however, overflowed like a river.

As a mother, she had to helplessly watch her child being taken away by someone else. It felt worse than being stabbed in the heart.

"I understand your feelings." The dean patted me on the shoulder. "You've practically grown up with them all these years."

My throat was choked with acid and I couldn't make a sound.

"I believe that Jiu Jiu will always remember you."

"Yes."

I took a deep breath and swallowed. "Dean, can I see the couple?"

"Alright."

The couple really liked 99, they even knew what 99 liked to eat.

I wanted to invite them to dinner, but I couldn't think of a proper identity.

I'm just a regular donor to the orphanage.

Not much money, not even a shareholder.

I talked to the couple at the orphanage for a long time.

They are very good, very kind, very fond of children, and have a good family.

Ordinary, simple, natural, generous, and loving.

It was the most suitable environment for a child to grow up in.

I can't think of any reason to stop them. If I really want to be happy, maybe I should approve of their adoption.

But my heartache is so great that I can hardly breathe.

Until I left the orphanage, I felt sick and the sky went dark.

It seemed that the only thing that could support me was gone as well.

I sat in the car on the way back, my body as light as it had ever been.

It was as if everything in his body had been hollowed out, leaving nothing behind.

What is mine in this world now? I thought about it for a long time.

I still have a sister.

I still have the Lu Group.

I found a random hotel.

I don't have a home in Mu City, I have no place to stay after leaving Mu Huainan.

In the hotel, I slept for three days and three nights. I switched off my cell phone and disconnected from the internet. No one could contact me.

I just want to get some rest.

As long as I return to the Mu City, there will be countless things that would cause people to collapse, flying towards me from all directions.

So tired.

On the third day I switched on my cell phone and missed a few dozen calls.

It was all Peng Haobai's doing.

I didn't call it back. I didn't think it was necessary.

I checked out of the hotel and went to stay at Lu Jingyu's sanatorium for a few days. Although she was occasionally a little silly. But the special rapport between us sisters is special.

When she held me, there was no need to say anything to reassure me.

I think that there are still people and things in this world that need my protection and support.

For example, 99%, Jing Yu, and Lu Group.

There was still a lot of work to be done.

When I saw Peng Haobai again, I was in Lu Jingyu's sanatorium for a week.

"Why are you here?" I looked at him, my eyes dull.

"Why didn't you pick up the phone! Do you know I'm worried about you! If the Principal didn't tell me you were here, I would have gone to Mu Huainan to ask for him! "

Oh, I almost forgot, this is the place Peng Haobai found for Lu Jingyu. The Principal is naturally his too.

Why nothing around me can escape the two men.

Deep down in my heart, a voice was answering me.

"Because I once bore their kindness to me for nothing."

So you have to pay off the debt, right?

"I'm sorry." I apologized. "I worried you."

My apologies didn't go well, but my expression remained calm.

"Xiao Wei." Peng Haobai anxiously called out to me: "I've let you down."

"I …" He lowered his head. "If I knew that my grandfather used you, I definitely wouldn't …"

"It's all in the past now."

"I don't know anything. Xiao Wei, can you trust me?"

I smiled.

"Of course I believe you."

"Xiao Wei, I'm sorry." He sincerely apologized to me, "I can't escape my grandfather's control. He has been that kind of person since he was young …" Peng Haobai sighed deeply, "When my mother died, he was also watching me coldly, so there's nothing strange about him using the life that he took."

We sat on the grass in the sanatorium, the sun warm and comfortable on us.

"I can't escape my grandfather's control. I've tried many times, all sorts of methods …" He sighed. "That's why I never dared to bring you to see him."

"Because I know that if I don't fulfill his request, he won't let me marry you."

"I understand your difficulties." I told Peng Haobai, "I don't blame you."

"Xiao Wei." He asked me carefully, "Will I still have a chance to marry you?"

"Little White, we can be good friends for life."

"Regardless of the premise of my marrying you, will it be impossible to kill Mu Huainan?" he asked, almost unwilling to give up.

"That's not the point." I shook my head. "I just don't want to get involved with that anymore."

I only need to rely on my own strength to bring the Lu Group back.

"If I can help you take back the Lu Group, you won't marry me anymore either?"

For a moment, I couldn't believe that Peng Haobai would say such a thing.

Since when, whether intentionally or unintentionally, did he use the relationship between him and me as a means to make a deal?

Why did he become like this?

"Peng Haobai, you have changed."

"Heh." He smiled bitterly and said, "It's been seven years. If a person doesn't change, then he will regress."

"But you said you wouldn't force me, you said …"

"That's because I thought you've really let Mu Huainan go!" He suddenly growled at me, blue veins popping on his forehead.

"I thought that I could finally obtain your heart, but in reality, I just found out that when I was on my last breath that day, you actually didn't even have the heart to shoot Mu Huainan dead." He was bitter, his voice hoarse. "I'm going to die! But you only hurt his ears! "

I looked at Peng Haobai, and my heart couldn't help but tremble. Since when did he become like this?

Such a violent, brutal, and uncontrollable emotion?

It was probably due to all the unhappiness that he had accumulated over the years exploding out after being injured.

"You need to calm down, Peng Haobai."

"I don't need it!" He was still excited: "If Mu Huainan treats you like that, he's going to kill your child! You and his child! That kind of demonic existence, why can't you let him go?! "

"I can't let him go."

"Heh, stop lying to yourself." He said: "Lu Weian, all these years, what kind of morals do you have to hide from others, from me?"

He looked at me and suddenly smiled. His eyes were filled with a strange coldness.

I was trembling all over.

He said, enunciating each word with gritted teeth: "Marry me, or else I'll tell Mu Huainan the whereabouts of ninety-nine."
