MY LOVING MARRIAGE - Season 22 Episode 24

Hearing this, Zhuang Shurong also smiled and stopped moving. She turned her head to look at him—

“But now it seems that things are a little absurd beyond imagination,” Zhuang Shurong said very calmly.

Mu Tangchuan smiled and looked at her with a meaningful gaze. “Absurd? Why do you say that? I always feel that perhaps another word might be more appropriate.”

“Hmm? What word?”

After Mu Tangchuan said that, Zhuang Shurong raised her eyebrows and looked at him in surprise.

The smile on Mu Tangchuan’s face disappeared. He turned around slowly and walked forward. Zhuang Shurong followed behind him.

Mu Tangchuan did not answer Zhuang Shurong’s question. He just walked silently. In front of him was a large area of blooming chrysanthemums. The fragrance of the flowers in the air was especially strong.

Zhuang Shurong actually did not like chrysanthemums that much. It was just that Wang Hui liked them quite a lot.

Chrysanthemums represented strength and purity, but in Zhuang Shurong’s heart, it also carried a kind of gloominess and sadness.

Zhuang Shurong was the kind of person who did not like things that carried negative energy. In real life, she already felt depressed and tired, so she definitely did not want to be affected by these things.

She was a person who did not know how to comfort others. As a fair judge, she seemed to have less sympathy than others. As long as one broke the law, no matter how big of a reason they had and how worthy they were of everyone’s sympathy. However, she could not do anything. The punishment that should be given to them would not be spared in the end.

Mu Tangchuan stood at the side. He saw her calm face and her uncertain gaze. It was not difficult to capture a trace of determination and seriousness from her.

“Let’s play a game of Go.”

Mu Tangchuan turned his head to look at the gazebo in front of him and said softly.

“What?”

Zhuang Shurong seemed to be in a daze. She only calmed down when she heard Mu Tangchuan’s voice.

Mu Tangchuan had already walked into the gazebo. There was a chessboard on the stone table in the gazebo.

“I don’t know how to play Go.”

Zhuang Shurong followed him in.

Mu Tangchuan had already sat down and pointed to the opposite side of him. “Sit down. You don’t know how to play Go, but you know how to play Go Bang, right?”

As he spoke, he had already placed the chessboard on the table.

Zhuang Shurong felt a little helpless. After thinking about it, she could only sit down.

Perhaps it was because she was quite smart, in the beginning, Zhuang Shurong had lost several rounds in a row, she could not last more than a few moves under Mu Tangchuan’s hands. However, after the next few rounds, Zhuang Shurong slowly began to play better, at least, she did not lose easily.

“You sing very well.”

Mu Tangchuan had never praised a woman like this. Seeing her calm and focused manner, Mu Tangchuan did not place the chess piece in his hand. Instead, he placed it into the chessboard at the side.

“Huh?”

Zhuang Shurong was clearly unable to react.

Mu Tangchuan smiled. “A few months ago, at the Hai Tian Nightclub.”

Zhuang Shurong was stunned for a moment. She tilted her head as if she was recalling something. After a while, her beautiful eyes flashed. She seemed to have realized something. “You’re the gentleman who helped me?”

Mu Tangchuan chuckled without saying a word.

At this moment, the servants suddenly came over to call them back for dinner. The two of them got up and walked back.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while.

Mu Yinan and Wang Hui were obviously very satisfied with Zhuang Shurong. The Zhuang couple also had high hopes for Mu Tangchuan. After a meal, they almost called each other in-laws.

“I heard that the maple leaves in Fragrant Hill are pretty now. Why don’t we go take a look?”

Wang Hui swept a glance at her husband, Mu Yinan, and her gaze quickly stopped on the Zhuang couple opposite them.

The Zhuang couple naturally understood and smiled. “Since that’s the case, let’s go and take a look. It’s been a while since we’ve gone out for a walk. Ah Rong, since you said that you have something on, then…”

“Then let Tangchuan send you back. He’s not working today anyway.”

Before Mrs. Zhuang could finish her sentence, Wang Hui, who was at the side, spoke up.

It was obvious that she wanted to set them up.

He subconsciously glanced at Zhuang Shurong. Seeing that her reaction was calm, as if she was used to it, Mu Tangchuan thought for a moment and replied, “Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry. I will send Miss Zhuang back safely.”

“Don’t be so formal. Just call her Shurong. We don’t have to be all formal.”

Father Zhuang smiled.

Mu Tangchuan could only lower his eyes and nod.

Then, the two couples set off immediately. Mu Tangchuan had no choice but to send Zhuang Shurong home.

“Let’s go to the court first. There are some documents that O need to be take home.”

When they just got into the car, Zhuang Shurong seemed to have thought of something. Coincidentally, the court was in the middle of the two homes. It would be good to go over and take it.

“Okay,” Mu Tangchuan replied. Since he could not go out to have a gathering with Su Zhengxun and the rest today, he was no longer in a hurry.

“I can see that my parents like you very much.”

After thinking for a while, Mu Tangchuan suddenly sighed and said.

“My parents have a good impression of you too,” Zhuang Shurong replied faintly.

“In my impression, you’re a very outstanding woman. Why…”

Mu Tangchuan knew that it was a little presumptuous of him to ask this, but he did not think too much about it and still asked this question.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shurong was stunned. She gave him a sidelong glance and smiled. “Then, what about you? Aren’t you the same?”

Mu Tangchuan frowned and wanted to say something, but Zhuang Shurong had already continued. “How should I say this?”

She took a shallow breath, “It’s not for any reason, and there’s nothing to hide. I just don’t have much time to focus on these matters of love. I feel that it’s a little too much of a waste of time. I hope that I can walk further down this path and stand higher.”

Zhuang Shurong’s answer was actually very honest. Mu Tangchuan originally thought that she could say things like for the motherland and the people, but she did not say that.

“In the face of work, humans are insignificant. If my life is a piece of white paper, then I feel that only work can enrich the color of this piece of white paper. As for other emotions, they are probably just decorations.”

Zhuang Shurong’s tone was very calm.

“Do you have a great desire for power?” Mu Tangchuan asked meaningfully.

Hearing this, Zhuang Shurong paused. “How should I answer your question?”

“If you don’t want to give others the chance to be impudent, first you have to control yourself.”

After a long time, she said this. Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at him. “I may not be a good person who can help all living things, but I will definitely not be a bad person.”

Her voice was filled with calmness and determination.
