The President's Tender Trap

Sunlight streamed through the curtains into Su Wan's bedroom, warm and bright. As the wedding drew closer, Su Wan's heart grew heavy. Despite her efforts to control her emotions, her relationship with Lu Ming was still affected by her inner unease. She immersed herself in the small details of wedding preparations, trying to mask her doubts with a sense of busyness.

That day, Su Wan's mother came to visit, bringing with her several home-cooked dishes. Mother and daughter sat at the dining table, enjoying the delicious food she had prepared. Her mother's cooking was as excellent as ever, and Su Wan ate with gusto, but her worries lingered.

"Wanwan, you seem a little absent-minded lately. Is something bothering you?" Mother put down her chopsticks and asked with concern.

"No, Mom, I'm fine." Su Wan tried to remain calm and make her tone sound relaxed.

"How can you say it's okay? I'm your mother, how could I not see it?" The mother's tone became gentle but firm. "If anything happens, remember to tell me. Mom will always support you."

Su Wan lowered her head, feeling touched but also guilty. She wanted to tell her mother about Lu Ming and Li Yan, but she didn't know how to start.

"Mom, I..." She hesitated, wanting to express her worries but not knowing where to start.

"Marriage is a matter between two people. Trust and communication are of utmost importance." Her mother interrupted her silence, a glint of wisdom in her eyes. "I also experienced some ups and downs when I was young. Your father and I had arguments and misunderstandings, but every time, as long as we were honest with each other, the doubts in our hearts were resolved."

"I understand, but..." Su Wan's voice was low.

"But what is it?" her mother asked tenderly, gazing at her.

"I'm afraid the trust between Lu Ming and me will be affected by what happened in the past." Su Wan finally mustered up the courage to speak out her worries. "I know he loves me very much, but I can't get rid of my worries about Li Yan."

After hearing this, her mother sighed softly, her eyes soft yet firm. "Wanwan, trust is the cornerstone of marriage. If you always doubt him and feel insecure, then even if you two are together, you will feel a sense of distance. You need to learn to face your feelings and communicate honestly with Lu Ming."

"But I'm afraid asking will make him unhappy." Su Wan felt helpless and began to have doubts about her future marriage.

"I had these concerns when I was young, but I've discovered that true love is based on mutual understanding and support." Her mother's voice was warm and resolute. "You must trust Lu Ming's love, and trust your own intuition. As long as you treat each other sincerely, there's no problem that can't be solved."

Su Wan fell silent, her mind gradually understanding her mother's intentions. She knew she could no longer avoid her inner doubts. Trust and communication were the foundation of a good marriage.

"Thank you, Mom. I will try my best to communicate with Lu Ming." Su Wan's tone became much firmer, and hope was rekindled in her heart.

"That's right. Marriage is a joint venture between two people. Only mutual understanding and support can make your relationship more stable." The mother smiled and nodded, with a gleam of relief in her eyes.

After lunch, her mother began to clear the table, while Su Wan helped. Her anxiety about the future gradually subsided, and she began to think about how to have a deeper conversation with Lu Ming. Her mother's words were like a beacon, illuminating the fog in her heart.

"By the way, how are the wedding preparations going?" asked the mother, trying to steer the conversation towards a lighter note.

"Not bad, we have already picked out the wedding dress and venue, and the invitations are almost ready." Su Wan's tone gradually revealed excitement.

"That's good. The wedding is the most important day in your life. Try to make yourself happy." The mother smiled, her eyes full of good wishes for her daughter's future.

"I will, Mom." Su Wan nodded, her heart full of anticipation for the future wedding.

With her mother's departure, Su Wan began to think about how to have a frank conversation with Lu Ming. She knew that this exchange would be a turning point in their relationship, and she also hoped to rebuild their trust in this way.

That night, Su Wan and Lu Ming's dinner was still warm, but the atmosphere was a little different from usual. Su Wan secretly encouraged herself and decided to have a good talk with Lu Ming when the time was right.

"Has your mother come today?" Lu Ming asked, with concern in his eyes.

"Well, she came and made a lot of delicious food for me." Su Wan smiled slightly, but was thinking about how to start the topic.

"Your mother's cooking skills have always been good, I have always liked it." Lu Ming said with a smile, feeling relieved.

"Yes, she has always cared about me." There was a hint of gratitude in Su Wan's tone.

Just as she was thinking about how to start, Lu Ming suddenly asked, "You seem to be a little emotional lately. Is there something bothering you?"

Su Wan was shocked. She hadn't expected Lu Ming to be so perceptive. She hesitated for a moment, then decided to put her mother's advice into practice and told him honestly how she felt.

"Lu Ming, I want to talk to you." She finally mustered up the courage and spoke in a serious voice.

"Okay, what's the matter?" Lu Ming was slightly stunned and looked at her seriously.

"I've always felt a little uneasy about our wedding and our relationship." Su Wan's voice was low but firm.

"You can say whatever you want, I will listen carefully." Lu Ming's attitude was gentle and tolerant, and he was willing to listen to her heart.

"Sometimes I think of your past with Li Yan, and I always feel uneasy." Su Wan expressed her feelings frankly, "I know you love me, but I still worry."

"Su Wan, I never meant to make you feel uneasy." Lu Ming's tone gradually became serious. "Li Yan's past has nothing to do with me. You are the only one in my heart."

"I understand, but sometimes I still feel troubled." Su Wan raised her head and stared into Lu Ming's eyes, trying to find comfort from them.

"I will try my best to make you feel safe, Su Wan." Lu Ming held her hand, his eyes revealing a firm belief. "I will use all my love to prove my promise to you."

"Thank you, I will try my best to believe you." Su Wan gradually felt relieved and felt an inexplicable warmth.

"We will go through every stage of the future together, supporting and understanding each other," Lu Ming said firmly.

With this in-depth communication, Su Wan gradually let go of her doubts about the past. She knew that trust and communication were the foundation of marriage, and she was willing to continue to grow in this process.

As the night deepened, Su Wan and Lu Ming sat on the sofa together, chatting about their dreams and plans for the future. Their relationship grew closer through this heartfelt conversation, their mutual understanding and support deepening their bond.

"I believe that we will have many wonderful moments in the future." Su Wan said with a smile, her heart full of expectations for the future.

"Of course, we will create beautiful memories of our own together." There was a glimmer of hope in Lu Ming's eyes, and his heart was full of longing for the future.

On this warm night, Su Wan felt an unprecedented sense of security. She knew that as long as the two of them worked together, their future life would be filled with sunshine and warmth.
