Mu Wan:
Since ancient tis, no one knows a daughter better than her mother.
Mu Wan’s eyes reddened, and upon hearing Mu Qingqiu’s words, she was even more touched.
Mu Wan sniffled, nodding heavily because of Mu Qingqiu’s words.
"Mom... yes... I love him... love him very much, I’ve silently liked him since seventh grade, until now... it’s been a whole 8 years."
Mu Qingqiu: "..."
So it was... Unrequited Love.
Mu Qingqiu looked at Mu Wan in front of her with a heartache, unable to resist raising her hand to stroke the woman’s hair in front of her, whispering, "Xiaowan, then tell , does he love you?"
Mu Wan: "..."
True to Mu Qingqiu’s nature, straight to the point.
Mu Wan’s face paled slightly, and a faint curve appeared at the corner of her mouth, but it held no laughter, only imnse bitterness.
"He doesn’t."
Mu Qingqiu: "..."
Mu Qingqiu’s eyes dimd; was this retribution?
She... made mistakes when she was young, and now the retribution has fallen upon her daughter.
Mu Qingqiu gently stretched out her little hand, stroking Mu Wan’s delicate face, feeling heartbroken, "If he doesn’t love you, loving him will be very tough, Xiaowan. Do you really want to do this?"
"Mom... I have no choice... In love, it’s impossible for two people to love each other equally. There’s always one who loves a bit more, and another who loves a bit less... I’ve tried to control not loving him; I’ve endured for 8 years... but I just can’t..."
Mu Qingqiu: "..."
It seems I’ve cared too little for Mu Wan all these years.
"Xiaowan, are you serious?"
"Well... Who says... that the person being loved is always the happier one... actually... the person actively loving soone is also happy, because... it shows they haven’t lost the ability to love... Mom, believe ... I will be happy..."
Mu Wan sniffled, her voice hoarse, "Mom... give so ti... if I can’t make Qin Mu fall in love with ... I will choose to leave proactively, giving us both freedom... not letting us beco each other’s shackles."
After saying this, Mu Wan seriously continued, "Because... not all Unrequited Love stories necessarily have results... I have loved earnestly and put in efforts... if it doesn’t result in anything... at least I won’t feel guilty towards myself or you, your daughter, is not the kind of person who pesters endlessly."
Mu Qingqiu: "..."
Mu Qingqiu looked at Mu Wan’s determined beautiful eyes with indescribable heartache.
Even though she knew there was a wall ahead, Mu Wan was very likely to crash into it headfirst.
But there’s also such a saying, not giving up until hitting a wall.
"Alright..."
Mu Wan, who was holding back tears in her eyes, upon hearing Mu Qingqiu’s words, let the tears slip from her eyes, dropping directly onto Mu Qingqiu’s lap. She then bent down, burying her head in Mu Qingqiu’s lap, sobbing.
"Mom... thank you for understanding ..."
"Silly girl... Mom will always be the one who loves you the most in this world."
.....
The mother and daughter held each other and cried, long afterwards, Mu Qingqiu first raised her hand to wipe Mu Wan’s tears from the corner of her eyes, then whispered, "It’s getting late... I’ll go heat up the dishes, let’s have a al today, just the two of us, to celebrate Xiaowan’s marriage registration."
"Okay... Mom, let help you with the plates."
"Alright..."
The two reheated all the dishes that had completely cooled before sitting down to eat under the lights.
Though it couldn’t be called refined cuisine, it was ho-cooked, filled with warmth.
A particular warmth flowed through.
.....
On the second day of the new year, Mu Wan and Qin Mu took wedding photos together.
All of them were shot at scenic locations personally selected by the old man, and the photographer’s most frequent reminder was.
Bride and groom, smile for the cara...
Mu Wan mainly had a cool temperant, not very good at smiling, as for Qin Mu... he simply didn’t want to smile.
In the end, to ensure the old man’s good mood when seeing the wedding photos.
Mu Wan could only do her best to stretch her lips and try to smile...
Qin Mu wore a formulaic smile on the corner of his lips, flawless and impeccable.
"Bride, think of the groom at his most handso mont..."
The photographer noticed Mu Wan’s sowhat absent expression and couldn’t help but speak.
Mu Wan: "..."
At his most handso mont?
Mu Wan blinked, then quickly recalled that sumr, Qin Mu wearing a school uniform playing basketball on the court, her lips involuntarily curved upwards.
"Perfect... wow... this is the shot, truly great..."
Qin Mu: "..."
Qin Mu watched Mu Wan’s knowing smile, his dark eyes flickering slightly.
He always thought... Mu Wan couldn’t smile.
Now it seems, the way this woman smiles isn’t bad...
Especially the dimples at the corners of her mouth, quite noticeable.
The groom at his most handso mont?
He hadn’t had much interaction with this woman before.
Supposedly the person she’s thinking of isn’t himself...
Thinking of this, Qin Mu pulled at the corner of his lips, his dark eyes full of mockery.
.....
On the third day of the new year, Mu Wan and Qin Mu went to try on their wedding attire. All were bespoke, sent by the old man to Europe for private customization, each set luxurious and elegant. Mu Wan chose the one with the simplest and most elegant design.
Because Qin Mu was in a hurry, he rely tried on his suit briefly before leaving.
Mu Wan tried on the entire set of wedding attire by herself.
Alone, admiring herself... Mu Wan looked at the woman in the mirror dressed in a stunning wedding outfit, a faint curve at her lips. In unhappy tis, one must learn to smile more.
The fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh day dealt with jewelry, hairstyle, shoes, and other things.
In any case... what originally needed months of preparation for the marriage was completed in just a few days.
By the eighth day, the wedding arrived as scheduled.
