How could she still eat that much, when he had got on a blind date with another woman.

  Wasn’t she worried that she would get choked by the beefsteak?

  Mu Qing was not sure if he should feel happy or annoyed.

  He came to Zhao Anan and reached out for her hands, pulling her off the chair. Then he hugged her.

  “What are you doing here, today? Now you have started to miss me? Didn’t you say that you are not marrying me? Then why are you here?”


  His series of questions made Zhao Anan speechless.

  She had meant to say that she was not going to marry him.

  But a stronger voice inside her head shouted that she was definitely going to marry him!

  Mu Qing smelled of antiseptic solution as usual. Zhao Anan used to hate this kind of smell before she met him. But after spending so much time with him, she started liking the smell, probably because she liked him so much.

  This smell made her feel safe.

  Held by Mu Qing and leaning against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, she felt incomparably happy.

  She had never felt this kind of happiness before when Mu Qing held her. She never used to be possessive of Mu Qing in the past. What happened to her today?

  Could it be because she had got him back?

  No, she had not even gotten him back and she was already delighted.

  She was getting weaker and more vulnerable.

  Zhao Anan felt a bit uneasy. She had been given the order to not see Mu Qing again.

  When grandmother forced her to meet Mu Qing earlier, she used to refuse. But now she had forbidden her to come here, and Zhao Anan was looking for ways by which she could meet him.

  What was wrong with her?

  Zhao Anan despised herself deeply. But the next moment, she said something else to Mu Qing. “Your outfit looks so ugly!”


  “Okay, I won’t wear it if you don’t like it. I will only wear outfits you like and buy, alright?”


  Mu Qing sounded gentle, and had propped his chin against her forehead. He smelled the shampoo in her hair, feeling really glad.

  She hadn’t turned him down when he held her.

  She used to push him away in the past and would not sit down obediently until he gave her a needle.

  Unexpectedly, within a couple of days of Shangguan Ning’s plan being on, the effect was already visible. Shangguan Ning was indeed a great woman. She knew each and every drawback and vulnerability of Zhao Anan.

  After hearing what Mu Qing said, Zhao Anan felt both sweet and sour. She had never bought any outfit for Mu Qing.

  And she was afraid that she was not going to buy any in the future, either.

  Her German doctor once said that the possibility of her cancer returning was over 75%. That high a rate made her feel that she only had a few years left.

  Many people with the same disease were going through treatment at the German Cancer Center. The hospital’s advanced technology could more or less stop the cancer cells from spreading, making the patients get better. However, many people died because the cancer returned.

  At the first return, the speed of spreading was not very high and the treatment could be done easily. But a second and third time of return would make the treatment much more difficult.

  So far, no one had survived the fourth relapse.

  Normally, people would not stand the third return as well.

  Chemotherapy was a painful treatment and many people would rather die than tolerate the pain.

  Zhao Anan was easygoing and happy, but she knew enough about her disease.

  She truly did not want to make Mu Qing miserable. He was young and had a promising future ahead of him. He did not need to be alone and miserable just because of her.

  Even if the cancer returned, it would still take two to three years before she died. Must Mu Qing wait until her death to marry someone else?

  It would be better for him to find a wife now, and maybe before she died, she could see Mu Qing’s child being born.

  Zhao Anan did not answer Mu Qing. She just couldn’t extract herself out of his arms, although she wanted to.

  She liked his embrace and wanted to stay this way for a bit longer.

  “You are going on blind dates now?”


  “How did you know that? Did you stalk me?!” Mu Qing had her against the wall, so she had no way to escape.

  “No way!” Zhao Anan would never admit that she had done such a stupid thing.” My grandmother…… told me that your family got you a blind date!”


  “Oh, did grandmother say that the girl is pretty?”


  “Bah, she is worse than me!” Zhao Anan flattered herself against her own conscience.

  “Oh, so you have met her?”


  “No I haven’t! I was not convinced when my grandmother told me that she is pretty.”


  “Oh, then? You stalked me?” Mu Qing asked nonchalantly as he leaned against Zhao Anan’s soft body.

  Zhao Anan got uneasy and bit Mu Qing’s chest. “I didn’t stalk you! No more asking.”


  Mu Qing let out a painful sigh but he did not care about being bitten by her. Instead, he said in an indulgent tone, “Alright, no more asking, I will let you ask me.”


  “Do you think that she is pretty?”


  “Very, and nicely shaped, too. She is smart and a graduate from Cambridge University, gentle and good at cooking. Should I marry her?”


  Zhao Anan blurted out. “No, you can’t marry her!”


  Only now did she realize that she had been tricked.

  Mu Qing had said that on purpose.

  “Oh, whom should I marry, if I can’t marry such a perfect woman? Any suggestions?”


  Zhao Anan got annoyed by his words.

  He was thinking about someone else when he had her in his arms, and even asked her for advice. She should definitely kick him away.

  “You can marry anyone you want. None of my business. I am going to bite you hard if you don’t let me go now.”


  Seeing the woman in his arms getting so furious, Mu Qing laughed.

  With one hand around her and the other wiping her sweat on the forehead, he said in a low voice, “Why don’t you trust me? Do you think that I will fall for anyone else apart from you? Tell me.”


  The furious woman suddenly turned into a docile kitty when she heard Mu Qing’s words.

  Mu Qing had never fallen for anyone else.

  Zhao Anan felt like crying, but she did not forget the reason why she was here today.

  “You can’t marry that woman. She is not good!”
