The time of the city

Chapter 225 I Will Take It Seriously

It was just dawn, and before the first ray of light had fully penetrated the house, Mo Yu got up and rushed downstairs.

Hearing the noise, Ni Jiamu, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room flipping through a newspaper, raised his eyebrows slightly, took off his glasses, looked up at her, and said, "Are you up so early?" His voice was low and a little hoarse from waking up in the morning.

Seeing that Ni Jiamu's expression had softened and was no longer as cold and hard as yesterday, Mo Yu felt a little more at ease and sat down next to him.

She unconsciously scratched her palms with both hands, lowered her head slightly, and whispered: "Brother, I want to tell you something."

Ni Jiamu rubbed his brows, frowning slightly. "If it's about what happened yesterday, don't tell me. I don't want to hear it."

"Brother, I want to be with you."

Ni Jiamu's hand rubbing his brow suddenly stopped, a self-deprecating arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he smiled bitterly: "Xiaoyu, don't joke around, I will take it seriously."

"Brother, I am willing to marry you and be with you."

Ni Jiamu's eyes lit up instantly, and those eyes, like a night pool, were now filled with surprise and disbelief.

But when he saw the dark circles under Mo Yu's eyes, his eyes darkened and he said, "You're still half asleep and talking nonsense, right? Or have you figured out another way to escape from me?"

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious!" Mo Yu raised her hand with the diamond ring on it, the ring gleaming in the dim morning light. "I put the ring on again. I didn't lie to you. I want to be with you. Even though I don't love you now, I'm willing to cultivate a relationship with you."

Hearing this, Ni Jiamu's eyes gradually turned red. He hugged Mo Yu in his arms, tightening his arms as if to integrate her into his own flesh and blood. His voice was choked with sobs: "Xiao Yu, I believe you, and I take you seriously. You are not allowed to leave me again."

Mo Yu came out of Ni Jiamu's arms, took a deep breath, and said, "But brother, I still want you to promise me three things."

"Tell me about it." Ni Jiamu looked at her seriously.

"First of all, don't restrict my travel and use of communication equipment." Mo Yu said, carefully observing Ni Jiamu's expression.

Ni Jiamu just raised his eyes, his expression calm, and his voice steady: "Continue."

"The second thing is, I don't want to go back to the castle. Before I marry you, I want to live in the old house with my parents."

"The third thing is..." Mo Yu's face flushed instantly, and her voice lowered, "That is, before I fell in love with you, I didn't want to sleep with you or have sex with you."

Ni Jiamu leaned back on the sofa with his arms crossed, his body slightly tilted back, his eyelashes raised, his eyes staring at Mo Yu deeply. For a moment, the living room was so quiet that only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

After a while, he finally spoke, "Before you marry me, I won't give you any communication equipment. You can travel freely, but I will find someone to secretly protect your safety. As for your second point, we don't have to return to the castle. I will buy the villa next to the old house and live there from now on. Your third point is also possible."

Mo Yu lowered her head, wanting to fight for it again, but seeing Ni Jiamu's noble and unquestionable look, she could only whisper, "This is also fine."

At noon, the sun bathed the courtyard. Mo Yu was sitting in the living room, lost in thought, when she suddenly heard a familiar whistle from outside the door. She immediately realized it was her parents returning. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly ran out to greet them.

Shang Xue was helping Ni Yuantang get out of the car. Seeing Mo Yu at the door, Ni Yuantang straightened up and smiled kindly, "Xiao Yu, you're so considerate to come pick us up."

But when Mo Yu saw Ni Yuantang's pale face, her heart ached. She quickly walked over and took Ni Yuantang's other hand: "Dad, you don't look well at all. Let me help you go in and rest."

Ni Yuantang smiled and waved his hand: "Xiaoyu, Dad is fine, don't worry."

After the three of them entered the house, they saw Ni Jiamu coming down from the study. Ni Yuantang's face changed instantly. He stretched out his hand, trembling and pointing at Ni Jiamu, his voice filled with anger: "Who asked you to come? Ahem..."

"Oh, Amu, your father is still sick, why did you come here?" Shang Xue frowned and kept patting Ni Yuantang's back, trying to calm him down.

"Mom and Dad, I asked my brother to come." Mo Yu helped Ni Yuantang sit on the sofa, then sat down next to Ni Jiamu. She took a deep breath and said, "Mom and Dad, I want to be with my brother."

Hearing this, the two people opposite opened their eyes wide, their faces filled with shock.

Shang Xue was the first to react and said anxiously, "Xiao Yu, did Ni Jiamu force you? Tell mom and I'll teach him a lesson."

Mo Yu quickly stopped Shang Xue, who was about to stand up. "Mom, I wanted to do this myself. I've thought about it carefully. Being with my brother is great. He's good to me and he loves me very much. If I marry my brother, wouldn't that make us even closer? Besides, you guys wouldn't want to marry me off, would you? And since my affair with my brother is so public, no one would want me anymore."

Upon hearing this, Ni Yuantang stood up excitedly and said loudly: "My daughter is so outstanding, how could no one want her? Ahem."

"Hey, please sit down quickly. The older people get, the more unstable their emotions become." Shang Xue pulled Ni Yuantang to the sofa and sat him down again.

She looked up at Mo Yu again and said seriously, "Xiao Yu, you have to think it over carefully. If you really want to be with Amu, we won't object. But if it's because of other things, Mom doesn't want you to feel wronged."

Ni Jiamu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but say, "Mom, it seems like Xiaoyu feels so wronged to be with me."

"Shut up, you pervert!" Ni Yuantang scolded.

"Mom and Dad, I've thought it through. And Dad, don't be angry with my brother. It's ruining your health. There are many benefits to being with my brother." Mo Yu hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

Shang Xue looked at Ni Yuantang, who had his head down, lost in thought, and said softly, "Yuantang, if Xiaoyu is truly willing, we shouldn't object. We know Jiamu well, and he wouldn't dare treat Xiaoyu badly. Besides, Xiaoyu will get married later, so would you be willing to let her go? It would be wonderful for Xiaoyu to be both our daughter and our daughter-in-law."

Ni Yuantang looked up and glared at Ni Jiamu. Ni Jiamu quickly assured him, "Dad, I promise I'll treat Xiaoyu well. I really love her."

"It's up to you." Ni Yuantang waved his hand and turned to go into the room.
