Chu Rui's questioning look made me subconsciously want to shake off Ji Mu's fingers.

However, Ji Mu held me tightly, and I couldn't break free no matter how hard I tried. Instead, he grabbed me and hooked our fingers together, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

"You..." Chu Rui took two steps back, his eyes full of shock and hurt.

At this moment, Chu's father and mother came over. Chu's mother's attitude towards me was still very cold, but she explained for Ji Mu and me: "Xiao Rui, your uncle and Miss Yin have already obtained a marriage certificate. She will be your aunt in the future..."

When Chu Rui heard this, he broke free from his mother's arm, rushed over, and punched Ji Mu.

This incident happened so quickly that no one present could react. Ji Mu was hit and took a step back. At the moment he stepped back, he finally let go of my hand.

"Ji Mu..." I rushed over in panic and held his arm.

"Chu Rui, what are you doing?" Chu's mother angrily scolded her son: "He is your uncle."

"I don't have an uncle as shameless as him." Chu Rui roared: "He snatched away the woman I like. Where in the world is there such a shameless uncle like him?"

When I heard Chu Rui say these hurtful words, I felt very sad and blamed myself.

Ji Mu really endured too much to help me get through the difficult times.

I looked up at Chu Rui and said, "Chu Rui, Ji Mu is not to blame for this matter. Don't be angry with him."

Chu Rui looked at me with hurt eyes and took a few steps back in disbelief: "Jingjing, do you like him? Why? Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I always regarded you as a friend, Chu Rui. I'm sorry, the person I like... is him." I lied and looked up at Ji Mu, who also took the opportunity to look over at me.

When my eyes met his, an incomprehensible obscurity flashed across Ji Mu's eyes.

"Impossible, how could you like him? Don't you like Su Beicheng?" Chu Rui questioned loudly: "No, when you were in the United States, you were with Zhou Minghe? Who do you like?"

Chu Rui knew something about my past relationship history, and at this moment, he was also confused by my behavior.

"So, I'm not worthy of your love anymore." I was too lazy to explain. Perhaps, if Chu Rui thought that I was a person who was not loyal in feelings, he would be more devoted to me.

Mother Chu looked at me with disdain. "Ms. Yin, I won't bother with you about my daughter, but since you've chosen to be with my brother, I hope you can treat him well and not hurt him again."

I looked at Chu's mother and nodded.

In fact, I know that Ji Mu must have mentioned my affairs to Chu's parents. They know the truth, but they have to hide the truth because they have received benefits from Su Beicheng.

"Jingjing, how could you become like this?" Chu Rui couldn't believe it. He shook his head: "No, the you I know would not do such stupid things. You must have some difficulties, right?"

Chu Rui went from being confused to being sober in just a moment. He immediately rushed to me and said, "You are the calmest and most sober woman I have ever met. It is impossible for you to not want to get married at such a young age. Tell me, what happened?"

Ji Mu was also shocked. He had always thought that Chu Rui was not smart, but he didn't expect that he almost saw through the truth.

Chu's parents were also frightened, and hurried forward to grab the excited Chu Rui: "Okay, don't embarrass yourself here, let's leave first."

"I won't leave, uncle. Are you helping Jingjing cover up something? Your marriage must be fake, right?" Chu Rui stared at Ji Mu sharply, as if he wanted to find the truth on his face.

My breathing quickened. If Chu Rui saw these truths, given his personality, they would probably spread out in an instant.

Just when I was getting nervous, Ji Mu suddenly reached out, inserted his fingers into my hair, gently lifted my head, and the next second, his thin lips kissed mine.

My brain suddenly went blank.

Ji Mu and I had an ambiguous relationship before, and some residual emotions from the past also came up.

I was frozen all over and couldn't move, so naturally I couldn't push him away.

Ji Mu sucked my lips twice, let go of my hand, looked at Chu Rui and said, "This is the truth. I like her and I hope she will be my wife."

Chu Rui had a shocked expression, and all the color drained from his face. He gasped and said, "No, I don't believe it. This isn't true. I'm going to become a monk and make all of you regret it."

After saying that, Chu Rui rushed out the door. Chu's parents were so frightened that their faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly chased after him.

Ji Mu also turned around and chased to the door, shouting: "Xiao Rui, come back."

But Chu Rui was so angry that he almost lost his mind. Seeing that the elevator did not come up, he rushed to the stairs next to him and ran down.

"You go see him." I was also very worried.

Ji Mu took the elevator downstairs directly. I ran back home and looked towards the road.

A few minutes later, Ji Mu came back.

I hurried into his house and saw him standing by the door with his hands on his hips. It was obvious that he had just run a lap.

"How is Chu Rui?" I asked with concern.

"He wants to break off relations with me." Ji Mu supported his forehead and said, "This kid has really grown up. He is becoming more and more courageous and brave."

I felt very guilty. I didn't expect that because of me, he and Chu Rui would become enemies.

"I'm sorry, how about I go and explain it?" I said guiltily.

“No need.” Ji Mu turned around and grabbed my arm, preventing me from leaving: “The first step for a man to grow up is to start by going crazy.”

I looked back at him, stunned: "But Chu Rui said he wanted to become a monk, is this true?"

"He hasn't yet made the determination to leave the world and cut off all emotions." Ji Mu thought this was fake.

I leaned against the door, my heart was in turmoil. Ji Mu really made a great sacrifice to protect me and my child.

"Doctor Ji..." I said softly, "Thank you."

Ji Mu looked back at me, his eyes seemed to be burning with a hint of heat in the night.

"No need to thank me, I'm not a saint." Ji Mu said, approaching me.

My breathing became disordered and my eyes froze as I watched him approaching.

Ji Mu reached out and smoothed the hair beside my ear: "Chu Rui was right just now. Your calm and sober look is very lethal to men."

I couldn't help but be stunned.

Ji Mu looked at me with almost obsessive fascination, his finger falling from the side of my ear, along my fair face all the way to my collarbone: "Jingjing, in fact, I don't care about the benefits Mayor Su offers. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't agree to such a ridiculous request even if you held a knife to it."
