She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.
Chapter 341 Heart's Turbulent Sea
Chapter 341 The Sea of the Heart Rising
When the three returned to the hotel, Su Mairou's emotions had not completely calmed down.
Back in the room, Lin Manlin was already back, drinking beverages and eating snacks.
Seeing them return, I said with a hint of regret, "You guys had a great time! I missed the best part of Disneyland today! I heard the fireworks show tonight is spectacular, and I even looked up some information online."
Duoduo immediately chimed in excitedly: "The fireworks show was absolutely gorgeous! It was like a huge party in the sky, with red, gold, blue... "
Lin Manlin gently patted Duoduo's head: "You're so lucky!"
"But we finally made some progress today," Lin Manlin continued, "The quality of that supplier's jewelry is indeed quite good, and the price is also very reasonable."
I took a lot of photos and showed them to Maggie. She was very satisfied and said that the "Moonlight and Flame" series could now be shipped on time.
Su Mairou nodded: "Yes, that's great."
Lin Manlin keenly sensed that something was wrong with Su Mailou.
There was no joy as usual when mentioning his sister's achievements, no curiosity to ask for details, and not even any extra comments.
This is so abnormal.
Whenever good news about Su Maiqi is mentioned, Su Mairou immediately becomes lively, overjoyed, asks for all sorts of details, and then begins to feel proud of her sister's achievements.
But now, Su Mairou sat there, looking somewhat lost and unusually quiet.
"Mai Rou, are you alright?" Lin Manlin asked cautiously.
Su Mairou seemed to snap out of her daze, managing a weak smile: "I'm fine, just a little tired."
Lin Manlin was unsure whether she should press the matter further.
She and Su Maiqi meticulously planned this "chance encounter" in the hope that Mo Yan and Su Mailou could make some progress.
But now it seems that things are not going in the expected direction.
This reaction doesn't seem like the joy of a successful confession or confirmation of a relationship; rather, it's more like a sense of confusion and bewilderment.
"Mom, I want to eat that!" Duoduo broke the silence, pointing to a box of macarons that Lin Manlin had brought back.
Su Mairou snapped out of her daze and nodded gently: "Okay, remember to brush your teeth after you finish eating."
Lin Manlin observed Su Mairou's condition and sighed inwardly.
Perhaps now is not the time to press for answers; her friend clearly needs some space to process her thoughts.
"Duoduo," Lin Manlin suddenly suggested, "After we finish our snacks, would you like to take a bath with Auntie? I bought a super fun bubble bath ball that turns into colorful bubbles when you put it in the water!"
"Really?" Duo Duo's eyes lit up immediately. "I want to try!"
"Come on, little princess," Lin Manlin said, taking Duoduo's little hand. "Let's go experience the magic bubble bath!"
The two walked into the bathroom laughing and joking, leaving Su Mairou alone in the living room.
She finally felt she could completely relax.
I slowly walked to my bed, gently lay down, and let the soft mattress support my tired body.
My heart was still pounding slightly; the emotions I felt when I was found still lingered in my mind, refusing to dissipate.
She closed her eyes, and the image of Mo Yan anxiously searching for her immediately appeared in her mind. The worry and concern in his eyes stirred her heart.
&34; Mai Rou! &34;
When he finally found her, the emotion in his call and the look of relief on his face gave her an unprecedented sense of warmth and security.
At that moment, something in her heart seemed to be gently touched, and the feeling of being deeply cared for dispelled her long-standing defenses like a spring breeze.
This is precisely what terrifies her.
Su Mairou turned over and buried her face in the pillow, as if that would allow her to escape the turmoil in her heart.
My emotions were too volatile today, and I felt even more exhausted than if I had worked a full day under heavy workload.
She originally planned to keep her distance and treat Mo Yan only as a friend.
But that moment of separation and reunion, that feeling of regaining what was lost, made her clearly realize that her heart had uncontrollably and little by little fallen for her.
This feeling is too dangerous.
After the divorce, she spent so much time rebuilding her world, creating a safe and stable environment for Duoduo, and painfully learning to face all difficulties on her own.
She has become accustomed to independence, to making all decisions for herself and Duoduo, and to not relying on anyone.
But now, that heart has unknowingly opened a crack to Mo Yan, allowing his care and warmth to quietly seep in.
What if Mo Yan were to leave us one day?
What if one day he gets tired of her and Duoduo's life, or meets a younger, more beautiful girl who doesn't have the burden of a child?
Duoduo already likes Mo Yan so much. If she allows herself to indulge in this relationship, in the end, not only will she get hurt, but Duoduo will also get hurt.
The girl had already lost a father, and she couldn't let her daughter experience the pain of loss again.
Su Mairou sighed softly, feeling utterly exhausted from the inner struggle.
The bathroom door opened, and Duoduo, wrapped in a towel with her hair still dripping wet, ran out happily: "Mommy, the bubbles really turned colorful! It's amazing!"
Su Mairou forced herself back to reality and gave her daughter a gentle smile: "Really? That must be a lot of fun. Come on, let Mom dry your hair."
Lin Manlin followed Duoduo out, also wrapped in a bath towel, her hair still wet: "You should go take a shower and relax too. I'll take care of Duoduo."
Su Mairou nodded gratefully, picked up her pajamas, and went into the bathroom.
Warm water washed over her body. Su Mailou closed her eyes, trying to let her chaotic thoughts flow away with the water.
But those emotions and thoughts seem to have taken deep root in my heart and cannot be easily dispelled.
She stood under the flowing water, letting the warm water wash over her cheeks, mixed with a few tears that had unknowingly flowed out.
After showering, she dried herself, changed into comfortable pajamas, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the bathroom.
Duoduo was already dressed in her pajamas and was jumping around excitedly on Lin Manlin's bed.
"Mom, I'm going to sleep with Aunt Manlin tonight!" Duoduo announced, her voice full of anticipation.
Lin Manlin gave Su Mairou a helpless look: "The little girl said she wanted to tell me a story and insisted on sleeping together. I'll borrow your precious daughter to keep me company tonight."
Su Mairou opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
She was initially nervous about facing Lin Manlin's questions, but she didn't expect her friend to be so considerate. Not only did she not press the issue, but she also helped take care of Duoduo and created some space for her to be alone.
"Thank you," she whispered, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Su Mairou returned to her bed, feeling a sense of relief. Finally, she could spend some quiet time with herself and her own thoughts.
