Chapter 536 It was me who cheated on the marriage
Mu Chaoran heard Lin Xige's complaint.
"It's okay," he soothed gently, "I'll help you remember. I'll tell you everything I remember."
He took her hand, walked to the door of the apartment and unlocked it.
Scenes from the past came to mind.
Mu Chaoran felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
So much so that his hands were shaking when he opened the lock.
Something that was so natural and casual five years ago, now, five years later, brings a completely different state of mind when I do it again.
The world has changed dramatically.
Things are wrong.
Looking back now, the six months spent in this small apartment were the happiest and most carefree time in Mu Chaoran's life.
Except... he had to hide his true identity from Lin Xige.
They buy groceries together, go to get off work together, watch TV together, and do housework together...
Everything seems so beautiful.
It will never be possible to go back to those days.
After unlocking and pushing open the door, the environment inside the apartment was clearly visible.
Although it is not luxurious, it is very clean and tidy.
"It's so small..." Lin Xige said, "There's only one room, and the kitchen is tiny too."
Whether compared with the Lin family or the Royal Garden, the area of this apartment is too small.
Any bathroom in Haicheng’s home is bigger than this one.
"It may be small, but it has everything." Mu Chaoran replied, "You spent several days looking at houses with the agent before deciding on this one. You said it was cost-effective and close to where we work."
Lin Xige looked around and looked around.
It seems a little familiar, but it seems that I have no impression of it.
She tried to see something from the tables, chairs, TV curtains, etc., but her mind was blank.
She couldn't understand Mu Chaoran's feelings.
Similarly, Mu Chaoran could not understand her feelings.
Lin Xige walked to the living room window and opened the curtains.
The sun shines in.
There is also a rocking chair in the corner of the window.
"You usually like to lie here and bask in the sun," Mu Chaoran walked behind her, "but you are afraid of getting tanned, so you wear sun-protective clothing, a mask and a hat. I will laugh at you, saying that you can't get any sun at all, so why bother basking in the sun?"
"You will refute me and say that what you are showing off is a mood, a feeling."
Mu Chaoran stretched out his hands and hugged her from behind.
"Xige, if possible, I really hope that the two of us can continue to live here," he murmured, his voice lowering, "without too many disturbances, just the trivialities of firewood, rice, oil and salt..."
Lin Xige tilted her head and felt his breath on her neck.
She asked, "Aren't we just here to stay for a while?"
"Yes."
"So, your wish has come true."
Mu Chaoran curled the corners of his lips, then quickly pursed them.
I really can't be happy.
Because he wanted to tell Lin Xige why he and she lived in a small apartment in Su City.
"Xige, why don't you ask me, huh?" Mu Chaoran rubbed her neck, "Ask me about the past."
"There's still so much time left. You'll speak when you want to. I don't want to rush you."
Mu Chaoran was silent for a few seconds.
He is preparing himself mentally.
Lin Xige was enjoying the scenery outside the window with a happy mood.
When you are with the one you love, everything seems beautiful.
Lin Xige broke free from Mu Chaoran's embrace and bent down to sit on the rocking chair.
"Mm, it's so comfortable and fits perfectly," Lin Xige said, "It seems like it was tailor-made for me."
"It is indeed custom-made according to your height and body shape."
"Ah? Who made this? It couldn't be..." Lin Xige asked in surprise and delight, "You made this chair by hand?"
Mu Chaoran nodded.
"You can also do handicrafts? No, this is more than just handicrafts, this is carpentry."
I really didn't realize that he was so good at doing things.
Mu Chaoran smiled and said, "For you, I have to learn no matter how tired I am."
“Why do you choose to make instead of buying?”
"When I was pursuing you, you said your waist was not in good condition and the sofa didn't fit you well, so I wanted to buy you a good chair," Mu Chaoran replied. "I looked in physical stores and online, but none of them were suitable. So after much thought, I decided to just make one."
Lin Xige was moved: "In order to pursue me, you are willing to work so hard."
"Yes, you always rejected me at first, and it took me a lot of effort to win you over."
"Impossible," Lin Xige tilted her head, "You're so handsome and so sincere, how could I reject you?"
Her head was squeezed by the door?
What's wrong with you?
"It's because I'm so handsome and so good that you suspect I'm a liar and a scammer." Mu Chaoran spread his hands, "You even avoided me. I haven't seen you for several days."
"That being said... it seems so. You look like someone many women would throw themselves at, not someone who would actively pursue someone. However," Lin Xige changed the subject, "I'm the daughter of the Lin family, I come from a distinguished family background, and I'm beautiful too. It makes sense for you to pursue me."
Who would have thought that Mu Chaoran would answer seriously: "No, Xige, actually your suspicion... has always been correct."
But Mu Chaoran's attack was too fierce, and no woman could withstand it.
Lin Xige went from resistance and doubt at the beginning, to wavering, and finally to compromise, falling deeply in love and being unable to extricate herself...
"And at that time, you weren't the Lin family's daughter, Lin Bingxue was."
Lin Xige's smile slowly froze on her face and she could no longer smile.
She wasn't the daughter of the Lin family, and she still lived in Su City, working a nine-to-five job...
Mu Chaoran is pursuing her?
That's indeed strange.
"I planned to get close to you. I came to Su City just to marry you," Mu Chaoran said bluntly, "You are the daughter of the Lin family who has been exiled to another place, and I am the third young master of the Mu family, born to a woman outside. I don't have a strong background, and I can only rely on the Mu family."
"I need your background. I need a Mrs. Mu from a prominent family. And you just happened to come into my sight and become my target. At that time, Lin Bingxue was already engaged to Xiang Chenyi..."
During Mu Chaoran's narration, Lin Xige's smile completely disappeared and she couldn't laugh at all.
She understood the whole process and the reasons behind it.
No wonder when Mu Chaoran decided to bring her to Su City, there was a look of determination on his face.
Mu Chaoran spoke very slowly and looked into her eyes the whole time without blinking.
Finally, his voice lowered: "Xige, this is our past. It was me who deceived you and cheated on our marriage."
Lin Xige remained silent.
The apartment suddenly became very quiet.
She just sat in the chair with her eyes lowered.
Mu Chaoran squatted down and looked her in the eye, his hands trembling slightly with nervousness.
