Going back to being twenty, taking her heartbroken son to a massage parlor.

Just as Liao Feiyue was about to explode on the spot, Su Mu finally made a move.

He gently pulled Shang Xiuyan behind him, placing her between himself and Liao Feiyue.

This move instantly became the focus of the entire audience.

Su Mu lowered his eyes, adding a touch of broken melancholy to his already handsome face.

"Junior schoolgirl".

He spoke, his voice not loud, but carrying a heavy sigh.

"to be honest."

"I was deeply, deeply hurt by that failed marriage."

"After the divorce, I changed completely and became afraid to fall in love with another woman easily."

"Right now, all I want is to find a woman who truly loves me."

Only in this way can I dare to give away this heart, which is riddled with holes, once again.

"And Xia Qingwu is currently my first choice."

Every word of these words exudes a rich tea ceremony flavor.

Su Mu is just playing the victim.

But the way Su Mu said it, coupled with his handsome yet melancholic appearance, made it incredibly powerful.

Shang Xiuyan's heart broke as she listened from behind. She tightened her grip on Su Mu's arm, wishing she could meld herself into his body to warm his wounded heart.

Liao Feiyue's brow twitched.

Who is she?

Liao's great-grandmother!

She saw through Su Mu's little scheme at a glance—a trick only a young girl would fall for!

But even though I understood it, a chord in my heart was still plucked.

After all, this was the man she had loved for over a decade.

His pain, even if it was just an act, was enough to make her heart tremble.

Liao Feiyue crossed her arms, slightly raised her chin, and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"did you mean."

"Is it because I don't love you as much as Xia Qingwu does?"

Su Mu raised his head, meeting her gaze with a sincere look in his eyes.

"right."

One word.

In short.

neat.

Liao Feiyue felt a lump in her throat from that word.

She laughed in exasperation.

"How is that possible!"

"For over a decade, you, Su Mu, have been the only man in my heart!"

"From university until now, it has never changed!"

"For you, I've rejected countless arranged marriages with wealthy families and countless outstanding young men!"

"Isn't my love enough? Isn't it enough compared to that crazy woman?"

Su Mu shook his head.

"It can't compare."

"Because under the same conditions."

She said something that I will remember for the rest of my life and that will move me for the rest of my life.

Liao Feiyue's heart tightened.

"What are you saying?"

Su Mu's gaze drifted into the distance, as if he were recalling something extremely precious.

She said…

"I'm not responsible."

"Junior, do you understand?"

"Xia Qingwu, such an arrogant person, how could she say such a thing?"

"Faced with such pure love."

"I think her love is greater and heavier than yours."

These words can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The first meaning.

This is a warning to Liao Feiyue.

Xia Qingwu was able to do things without seeking recognition or responsibility.

If you, Liao Feiyue, truly love me.

Be more generous.

Stop fighting tooth and nail for positions all the time.

The second meaning.

This completely ignited Liao Feiyue's competitive spirit.

This woman is strong-willed.

Always strive to be number one in everything.

Now tell her that when it comes to loving men, she lost to her arch-rival Xia Qingwu.

Su Mu felt that his words were absolutely perfect.

Watertight.

To be both right and wrong.

Which woman wouldn't be confused and bewildered after hearing this?

however.

He underestimated Liao Feiyue's skill level.

Upon hearing this, the slight hint of being touched vanished from Liao Feiyue's face instantly, replaced by an all-knowing coldness.

She curled her lips into a mocking smile.

"Su Mu".

"Do you think I'm as easy to fool as a schoolgirl like Shang Xiuyan?"

"You think you can move me to tears with just a few words and then make me agree to let you have a harem?"

Don't even think about it!

Liao Feiyue took a step forward, the sound of her high heels clicking on the ground.

"I'm putting my words right here!"

"Now, immediately, right now!"

"Come back to the Liao family home with me, get our marriage certificate, and we'll get married!"

have to.

It's a waste of breath.

Su Mu cursed inwardly.

These older women are indeed harder to fool than the last.

A thousand-year-old fox, what's the point of playing those ghost stories with him?

It seems we'll have to take a long-term approach.

The melancholy on Su Mu's face instantly transformed into a tender expression as he took Liao Feiyue's hand.

"Junior, marriage isn't out of the question."

"After all, my love for you is true, and heaven and earth can bear witness."

He abruptly changed the subject, solemnly counting on his fingers with a furrowed brow.

"But I just did some calculations, and today's date... clashes with the day's energy, it's extremely unlucky! It's really inauspicious."

"Okay, give me a little time. I'll take my daughter and my concubine home first to find a reliable fortune teller to calculate an auspicious day, and then I'll come to marry you in a grand procession, alright?"

talking.

Su Mu took Shang Xiuyan's hand.

Shang Xiuyan subconsciously took Su Zhiling's hand again.

The family of three turned around and tried to make a run for it.

Watching Su Mu's eager departing figure, Liao Feiyue's heart skipped a beat.

An indescribable sense of panic surged up.

She cursed herself inwardly.

Liao Feiyue, you've really lost your mind.

Did I push myself too hard?

Does he really not want to see me?

Too……

After all, he and I have been separated for so many years.

But Xia Qingwu had genuinely been there for him.

When it comes to relationships, the worst thing is comparison, and the worst thing is being impatient.

The more you try to grasp it, the more it will slip through your fingers.

How could I have made such a basic mistake!

Liao Feiyue narrowed her eyes, and reason finally returned to her side.

She straightened her slightly disheveled collar, regaining her elegant and dignified demeanor as a noblewoman.

"stop."

The two words, spoken in a cool and aloof tone, carried an undeniable air of authority.

Su Mu and his two companions paused in their tracks.

Liao Feiyue walked over with elegant steps, not looking at Su Mu, but going straight to Su Zhiling.

She knelt down, took Su Zhiling's small hand, and her face was filled with unprecedented tenderness.

This is her tactic of appeasement.

"Su Mu, you can leave."

"But my daughter and Shang Xiuyan must stay."

Liao Feiyue raised her eyes and looked at Su Mu calmly.

"I have already hired the best vocal coach."

"I'll be staying here for a while."

"I want to spend some time with them."

What a great move!

Su Mu knew exactly what was going on.

This is using your daughter and concubine as hostages!

With both of them here, how could he possibly have the mind to go out and find other women?

high!

That's brilliant!

Su Mu looked at his daughter and his concubine.

"Daughter, concubine, what do you two think?"

Su Zhiling looked at the beautiful great-grandmother in front of her, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Compared to the mother I've never met.

She actually... favored the jade pendant mother more.

Jade pendant mother is so kind.

Su Zhiling spoke:

"I'll stay. I think this mother is good."

"Dad, if you don't want her, then I'll take her!"
