In the end, Mu Liang opened his mouth. Slowly, gently yet in a deep voice he said, Xiao Lan, I was never been interest in woman before you appeared in my life. You are the first to make my all rational thoughts make upside down. You are the only one make my think of you all the time. Whenever, Im close to you, my body acts before I can collect all my thoughts. You make me emotional. You make my body react. You are the one who do this to me. Xiao Lan, you are the only one for me.

After his confession, there was a long silence. Even the chirping sound of birds was louder in the silent room.

Mu Lan, who was sitting on Mu Liangs lap was as still as wood. She blinked few times, opened her mouth to say something but couldnt utter a single sound.

Well, yes, technically she wanted to know Mu Liangs intention. She wished to know the man who was going to be her future husband. However, Mu Liangs answer was too direct. He was practically saying, I love you. Sitting in a position like this and hearing a confession was too much for her naive heart.

Judging by Mu Liangs expression, he wasnt lying or making fun. He looked quite serious and sincere.

For some reason, a warm feeling spread throughout Mu Lans heart. It was like, she was waiting, waiting and she kept waiting for something for so long that her heart was about to dry. But after decades, someone came to give her what she wanted. First she didnt want to belief it. When she realized that she truly got what she was waiting for so long, she felt surprised, in second, she was happy. She was so happy that she laughed loudly. Her eyes sparkled. She screamed in joy and she danced till she couldnt move a single finger. She was happy and she was in peace. Before she closed her eyes for eternity, a tiny smile was still on her lips. Because, she had no regrets. She was satisfied.

Upon hearing Mu Liangs confession, Mu Lans blurry eyes became even more blurry. She felt a sharp object was poking her heart. It was painful. Even though, there was a hint of satisfaction.

Mu Liang was startled seeing tears formed Mu Lans eyes. Then, like rain drops they started to fell from her eyes.

Mesmerized, Mu Liang looked at her tears. Her face was shining in the sunlight. And her tears were glittering like stars in the night sky. They were so beautiful that he kept looking at them. The scene was very captivating. Mu Liang even forgot to wipe the tears away. It was his first time seeing her cry. His gaze was intense as he was complimenting her beauty.

Suddenly, Mu Liang felt a strong desire from deep inside his heart was waking up. He knew this feeling very well. It was a thirst to hurt someone. His inner demon was craving for Mu Lans tear.

Immediately, Mu Liang hugged Mu Lan and let her tears fell in his shirt. He didnt want to see any more of her tears.

Now he realized, how it was for the other guy. That guy must have gave in to the desire of his inner demon and thats why he made her cry for so long. Does that mean he likes her? Mu Liang thought. He didnt want to think of it anymore. What kind of man would let his beloved cry? Im not that sort of man. Ill make her happy. He promised then and there.

Mu Liang waited until his inner demon subsided. Then he looked down at her and softly wiped her tears. Finally he hugged her face with his two palms and opened his mouth, Lan, you dont have to answer me right away. Ill wait for you until the day I have nothingness. You dont have to pressure yourself. I dont want to see you suffer.

Mu Lans mind was blank. When she was looking for what to answer, she felt that she was hugged. As she felt the wet shirt in her cheek, she realized that she was crying.

Was it because she felt sad? Was it painful? Or was it because she felt happiness?

She didnt know the answer. Moreover, she didnt want to think of it. The warmth of Mu Liangs chest and his light heartbeats made her calm down. When she finally found her voice back, she heard Mu Liangs gentle voice saying, Lan, you dont have to answer me right away. Ill wait for you until the day I have nothingness. You dont have to pressure yourself. I dont want to see you suffer

Mu Lans heart almost stopped beating.

This guy was always treating her so nicely. He gave her a home to stay, gave her the most delicious food she could never get, gave her expensive dresses and jewelries. He took her out for romantic dates. Together with her, he went to sightseeing. He bought her a car, a boat. He hired a bodyguard for her protection. He let her admit in a famous university. If he truly wanted her body, would he have to go for so much trouble? He could forcefully marry her and could make her his own. And she could do nothing but grief. But he didnt. Because, before everything he wanted from her, he wanted her heart. Thats why, he kept waiting patiently. He gave her all the time he had left with him, to decide whether she wanted to give her heart to him or not.

For the first time in her life, Mu Lan felt blessed. She felt blessed to get such a man.

Did I do anything good in my previous life to get such a good, wealthy man for myself? She thought.

At last, she looked Mu Liangs eyes. Mu Liang was jolted to see how clear her eyes were. They were transparent, yet they were actually glowing in the sunlight.

Mu Lan opened her mouth, her voice was firm and full of determination. She said, Liang Liang, I promise you, you will never regret your decision.
