The cannon fodder heiress embarks on the path of cultivation.

055 Because I cherish you

Grandpa Mo responded firmly. Even though he felt a little regretful, he did not force Chu Jiuyue. This surprised her. She looked at Grandpa Mo with complicated feelings, unable to describe what she was feeling.

If it was a past life...

Thinking of this, Chu Jiuyue's gaze became complicated again. She glanced at Old Master Mo, then looked away and spoke calmly.

"I can agree to that, but if I ever decide to give up, you are not allowed to force me for any reason, otherwise—"

Chu Jiuyue responded softly, her tone firm and resolute.

In fact, Chu Jiuyue knew in her heart that even if they really did this in the future, she wouldn't care. However, it was better to say some things, even though the possibility of giving up was probably not very high.

Chu Jiuyue sighed helplessly in her heart.

Xiao Ba hid deep inside, his gaze darkening as he looked at the scene outside. A strange, profound look flashed across his face, as swift as lightning.

At this moment, Mo Wenchen was staring intently at Chu Jiuyue, who was sitting upright on the edge of the bed.

A subtle, complex expression flickered in his deep, pool-like eyes. He was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and didn't know how to describe his emotions.

In fact, from the very beginning he could tell that Chu Jiuyue had little interest in those complicated matters, or even that she didn't care at all, and was unwilling to involve herself in these troublesome things.

However, to his utter surprise, Chu Jiuyue ultimately agreed without hesitation.

Originally, when he saw Chu Jiuyue's troubled expression, Mo Wenchen planned to step forward and politely decline on her behalf.

But before he could even state his position, his wife had already agreed.

This move really surprised Mo Wenchen, but he did not raise any objections on the spot. Instead, he decided to wait until the two of them were alone before asking him about the reason.

Thus came the question at the beginning, filled with doubt and concern.

"Why are you so nice to me?"

Chu Jiuyue seemed not to have heard his question, and calmly asked, her eyes revealing suspicion and wariness, which made Mo Wenchen sigh heavily.

Mo Wenchen's gaze was fixed on her, utterly serious and focused. He solemnly and deliberately said, word by word, "Because, I cherish you!"

His tone was so solemn, as if a very solemn ceremony was taking place, which made Chu Jiuyue raise her eyebrows involuntarily.

However, at that moment, Chu Jiuyue seemed to suddenly remember something, and the corners of her mouth that were originally turned up instantly froze, replaced by a faint hint of mockery and coldness.

This sudden change caused Mo Wenchen's expression to shift slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

Mo Wenchen knew what Chu Jiuyue was thinking. Even in the face of her expression, he did not waver in the slightest and remained focused and attentive. In the depths of his eyes, there was a hint of indulgence that was hard to ignore.

But it was precisely this indulgence that made Chu Jiuyue feel quite awkward. For some reason, she had a vague feeling that she was being unreasonable and making a fuss.

"I love you, as steadfast as a rock and as resilient as a reed. I know you have doubts, so let time prove that my words are true."
