Locking away my heart and love! Going back to 2000 to be a top student again.

Su sat on the sofa until around midnight before slowly going upstairs. As she passed the study, light shone through the crack in the half-open door.

He didn't go back to his room to sleep...

Xu Su felt relieved and took a few steps back to her room, locking the door behind her.

After the argument, she didn't know how to face him...

No one had taught her how to deal with a man pointing a gun at her.

The next morning, when I went downstairs, I saw Zhou Mochen sitting on the sofa with his back to the stairs, making a phone call.

Xu Su paused slightly, turned a corner and walked towards the restaurant. She had just sat down at the table when the person came in.

Neither of them spoke to the other until the meal was finished. When Xu Su stood up, Zhou Mochen grabbed her wrist.

"Don't drive Shen Chen's car anymore. We picked up a few new cars from the garage this morning. You can drive that one for now. If you like any other cars, you can buy them yourself."

His supplementary card has always been with her, with no spending limit.

Xu Su didn't speak.

Zhou Mochen added, "If you like consecutive license plates, there are some in the garage. You can choose whichever you like. Don't be angry about last night."

Don't be angry about last night...

Xu Su felt a pang of pain in her heart. Before she could react, Zhou Mochen pulled her into his arms: "I believe you don't like him, and I believe you didn't do anything you shouldn't have. Last night I was consumed by jealousy and lost my mind. Don't take it to heart."

Don't take it to heart...

Xu Su smiled wryly; how could she not take it to heart…

She must have a very big heart to not care about the feeling of being controlled by others.

Can his casual remark that he lost his mind erase her fear of being held at gunpoint?

Zhou Mochen lowered his head and kissed Xu Su forcefully and urgently. The two maids standing in the corner of the restaurant quietly withdrew.

Xu Su couldn't help but try to push him away, but Zhou Mochen easily suppressed her.

He put his arm around Xu Su's waist, lifted her onto the dining table, stood in front of her, and wrapped her legs around his waist.

He reached his hand directly under the hem.

Xu Su was wearing loungewear, and the loose fit was easily torn open by him…

"Let me go! I don't want to!"

Xu Su pushed him away in a panic, but her strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of the powerful man.

Only now did she realize how powerless she was. If Zhou Mochen wanted something, she couldn't stop him and could only passively endure it.

Zhou Mochen pinned Xu Su's hands behind her back and used his other hand to rip open her already loose shirt.

A passionate kiss landed on her struggling body…

During the day, there's a dining table, and quite a few servants outside...

Xu Su trembled all over, feeling wronged and wanting to cry.

"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything here,"

Zhou Mochen kissed her with extreme tenderness, his eyes a contrasting darkness, his low, husky, and confused voice falling into her ear:

"I love you, Xu Su. You need to know that no one loves you more than me. Don't be angry about last night, and don't hold a grudge against me. Stay away from those men. I told you, I can't stand them."

She had feelings for other men, and she said she had genuinely loved Xi Zirong.

Xi Zirong!

Zhou Mochen gritted his teeth and accepted it.

But no one else can touch her body. Those most intimate contacts, perhaps Shen Chen has also done them with her, how can he accept that?

Just imagining it drives him crazy.

His expression was unmistakably fierce; he almost wanted to bite her to death.

My beloved girl, tell me, should I believe you?

…………

After a long while, Zhou Mochen straightened Xu Su's clothes and hugged her very gently: "Su Su, do you love me?"

"Does love matter?" Xu Sumu said with a blank face. "Anyway, in your heart I'm just a fickle woman who might cheat on you at any time."

Zhou Mochen's body stiffened, his face gradually turning pale: "No..."

Xu Su lowered her head, blinking desperately to hold back her tears.

"That's not how it is..." His eyes were also red without him realizing it, and he seemed about to cry at any moment. "No one in this world loves you more than I do. I love you so much that I would only think of you as something so terrible if I were crazy."

"I was just terrified," Zhou Mochen said, his arms tightening, his voice hoarse. "I was so scared..."

He couldn't say anything more, quickly let go of her hand, and walked out.

Xu Su tried to call out to him, but when she opened her lips, nothing came out.

She sat blankly at the dining table, a sharp pain gripping her heart.

After going through all the sadness, grievances, and anger, the heartache that had been suppressed welled up again.

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she felt more pity or fear for Zhou Mochen.

When she was held at gunpoint last night, she felt wronged and scared, a fear that was deep in her bones and came from the depths of her being.

But just now, seeing him like that, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken...

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Su's phone on the dining table kept vibrating with new messages, and her mood gradually calmed down.

Why is this so?

Just like Zhou Mochen said, he was the person who loved her the most in the world, but as soon as there was any hint of other men, his first thought was that she was cheating on him, and he couldn't believe any of her explanations.

Xu Su tried to put herself in Zhou Mochen's shoes...

For Zhou Mochen, he once trusted her so much that he blindly believed her when she pointed to the hickeys left by Xi Zirong on his collarbone and said they were from a bump. But what did he get in return for his unconditional trust?

It was a deep and piercing wound; the damage she inflicted was too great and too severe.

It made him subconsciously afraid.

He may have thought about trying to trust her again, but the deception and hurt had become a shadow in his heart. When things were sweet and happy, it was fine, but once an unexpected situation occurred, under the shadow of this, another crisis of trust would come.

Xu Su knew that the root cause was that she had once secretly been with Xi Zirong, so he could no longer give her any trust.

He was extremely bothered by it. Even though he said he had moved on, he still felt a lump in his throat and couldn't let it go. He still saw it as her cheating on him.

That was her prior record of credit default, and it was an unchangeable fact.

How long can a love without trust, relying solely on its distorted form, last?

Will they have a happy ending in this life?

But what can she do?

She had no choice!

Unless there's a time machine to take her back two years.

Xu Su smiled bitterly to herself. If she had known this would happen, she would have avoided Xi Zirong back then.

Why be tempted by a fleeting feeling and let Zhou Mochen hold a grudge for a lifetime? It's simply not worth it.

It's absolutely not worth it!

Xu Su wiped away her tears and walked out.

She knew it would be difficult to regain Zhou Mochen's trust, but was it impossible for her?

She can do it.

Even if it takes her a lifetime, she will do it.

Since she couldn't help but feel sorry for him no matter what, she still felt sorry for him even when a gun was pointed at her.

Since no matter how much pain he was in, he couldn't bear to lay a finger on her.

Since they loved each other, she didn't want to go against her heart; she wanted to coax him.
