Sir, How About A Marriage

Heart to heart

Liang Zhou smiled and said, “Xiao Yu is very hardworking and quick-witted, but she’s a chatterbox.”

Mu Qing seemed moved. “You went to the temple to pray for me?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Liang Zhou nodded. Her smile carried a trace of sorrow as she said, “Master said that your luck is bad

because of our lost child’s resentment. When I recalled the past, indeed, he couldn’t be saved because

you were late. Hence, Master said that he’s venting his anger on you by making it so that no matter

how hard you worked, you’d never get anything in return. I think Master has a point.”

Liang Zhou saw Mu Qing’s hand freeze briefly. She knew she had gotten his attention so she continued

to say, “Master told me that one of us should devote ourselves to Buddha. As long as we continue to

pray for our unborn child, we’ll be able to appease him. When he’s satisfied, he’ll naturally leave in

peace…”

Tears began to spill from Liang Zhou’s eyes as she said, “Mu Qing, do you know how I felt when I

heard Master’s words? Later, I told the child to look for Mommy. Mommy’s the one who failed him. I told

him not to pester Daddy.”

Liang Zhou calmed herself down before she said, “I’m devoting myself to Buddha from now on. I will do

good deeds, recite Buddhist scriptures, and practice vegetarianism to wash away my sins. I’ll help my

son find peace. I’m doing it for both you and our son. I know you have a lot of things you want to

achieve. I won’t hinder you. I’ll deal with everything at home, and I promise not to become a burden to

you.”

Mu Qing’s heart stirred slightly upon hearing these words. Liang Zhou had been by his side for so

many years so it was not like he was unaware of how much she had sacrificed for him. However, he did

not acknowledge it to keep her on her toes. In his opinion, he would not let people be complacent, and

he would not allow them to grow conceited. In short, he thought women should not be spoiled.

During this period of time, in order to appease Ye Xin, he rarely came home and did not bother with

Liang Zhou at all. In fact, he did not return today because he had developed a conscience. Instead, he

only returned to criticize her.

However, Mu Qing did not expect Liang Zhou had done so much for him without his knowledge. She

did not even complain even though he had neglected her recently. He had to admit he was not

completely unmoved.

He was very proud of himself as well. In terms of manipulating people’s hearts, he thought he had

reached perfection. After so many years, he finally molded Liang Zhou into the person he wanted her to

become.

Hence, Mu Qing said gently, “It’s been hard on you, Liang Zhou. Don’t be too sad. The matter with the

child isn’t completely your fault. We’re just not destined to have him. Perhaps, it’s due to his karma as

well that he failed to come into the world… Don’t blame yourself too much.”

Liang Zhou’s eyes widened upon hearing these words. Her expression turned into one of excitement

immediately.

Mu Qing was taken aback.

Liang Zhou grabbed his hands as tears fell like rain again. “Mu Qing, did you look for a Buddhist master

as well? My master’s words are exactly the same as yours! Did you look for a master because you’re

worried about me? As it turns out, you do care about me! I’m sorry, Mu Qing. I always blamed you for

not caring about me and our child. I’ve wrongly blamed you!”

Liang Zhou sat next to Mu Qing’s leg as she wept tears of joy.

Mu Qing’s expression changed slightly as he patted Liang Zhou’s shoulder. “Don’t be sad. How can I

not care about our child? He’s my child as well, right? However, since I’m a man, I tend to suppress my

emotions.”

To be honest, Mu Qing did not even know which word he said that moved Liang Zhou to tears. He

could not even remember what he had just said. After all, those were just words that came out of his

mouth to coax people.. lightnoveldaily.com.
