The hotel in Provence was so quiet that only the ancient bell in the corridor was chiming.
In the room on the second floor of the hotel, the morning light penetrated through the curtains and shone into the room. On the white double bed in the room, a woman slept very uneasily. The discomfort inside her body woke her up.
The white silk quilt covering her body slipped off, revealing her youthful upper body. The green and purple love bites on her body seemed especially ambiguous in this morning. Anyone could see that she had a passionate night.
Last night was where her memory stopped. The young man in the white shirt smiled slightly. He held a bunch of bright lavender in his hands and kissed her blushing cheeks. He said to her, "I hope my Momo is forever eighteen years old!"
At that moment, everyone in the coffee shop cheered for them.
Later, as she was too happy, she was pestering him that she wanted to drink. Lin Jinyao couldn't resist her, so he let her drink a little bit. Then, she seemed to be drunk.
Su Mo never drank since she was born well-mannered. This was the first time she experienced a hangover. This feeling was very uncomfortable. She raised her hand and wanted to hit her head to wake herself up, but she unexpectedly found that she was not feeling well.
She quickly looked down and saw that her body under the quilt was full of unfamiliar marks, and she could still feel the pain between her legs.
The bed sheet showed the evidence of affectionate moments last night, and that dazzling color made the fear inside her heart grow to the extreme.
"Brother Jin."
She remembered that at her birthday party, she drank some wine and was sent back by Brother Jin.
When she woke up in the morning, she found that she had changed from a girl to a woman. The only person she could think of now was Lin Jinyao.
In the room, the clothes and shoes were thrown on the ground in a mess. The white floral dress that Brother Jin gave her seemed to have been torn, which showed how crazy a night it was.
She was a little scared, but when she thought about the crazy night that she spent with Lin Jinyao, she felt a little shy.
She wandered inside her heart, "If it were for Brother Jin, why is he not here? Is he afraid that I will be angry and he just ran away?"
Su Mo was very sad. After all, this was the first time she had encountered something like this. She could no longer wear these clothes scattered on the ground. She also did not want to move. She wrapped the quilt around herself and burst into tears.
Of course, she knew that Brother Jin would never bully her. The two of them grew up together and their relationship had long been recognized by the parents of both sides.
If not for the fact that she was still young, they would have already been engaged.
At the thought of what she had done with her beloved boy last night, Su Mo's face turned unnaturally red.
If her parents were still alive, they would beat her to death. However, it was not necessarily the case for her aunt. Her aunt would support them with both hands and would make them get engaged immediately.
Su Mo's mind began to wander uncontrollably. When the sound of the door opening was heard, her body instinctively reacted. Her little head quickly turned around, her eyes filled with anticipation.
After the door was pushed open, Lin Jinyao's handsome smile appeared behind the door. He asked, "Momo, are you awake?"
Lin Jinyao was handsome and his voice was pleasant to hear. Su Mo had always liked to hear him call her name.
The word "Momo" came out of his mouth, giving her a dreamy feeling as if she saw a bubble under the sun.
At this moment, hearing Lin Jinyao's voice, Su Mo felt at ease. At the same time, she suddenly felt very wronged. Her tear-stained face looked pitiful. She looked at him with tears in her eyes and asked, "Brother Jin, where did you go?"
"What happened? Why are you crying?" Lin Jinyao quickly walked over and placed the things in his hands on the bedside table. He reached out to touch her head and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Mo wondered inside her heart, "Why did Brother Jin ask this? Did he not know that a girl would feel pain on the first love night?"
"Brother Jin, will you treat me well in the future?" Su Mo asked, blushing.
Lin Jinyao smiled and pointed at her nose, "Momo, you seem to be in a lot of sorrow today? You are my princess. If I don't treat you well, who else am I supposed to treat well?"
"I like Brother Jin the most." Su Mo reached out and hugged Lin Jinyao, burying her face in his chest. She even winked at him mischievously, making his heart beat faster. He quickly reached out and held her down.
Only when he pressed her down did he realize that Su Mo was not wearing any clothes under the quilt. Lin Jinyao's body froze in an instant. He thought to himself, "This bad girl has come to challenge my self-control as a man again."
Lin Jinyao quickly removed her arms from his neck and said in a doting tone, "Momo, you are naughty again. Hurry up and put on your clothes. I bought your favorite fruit porridge. Come over and have some water first."
Lin Jinyao turned around and poured a glass of water. When he turned around, he saw the marks on Su Mo's body, covering her neck, shoulders, and collarbone. Perhaps there were more marks under the quilt.
"Bang!"
His arm bumped the box filled with porridge. The fragrance of the porridge drifted away as if it was mocking his stupidity. He had always cherished her beauty, but now he found that she just spent a passionate night with another man.
"You... Your body..."
Su Mo did not notice Lin Jinyao's abnormal behavior. She lowered her head shyly and whispered, "Brother Jin, how do you feel about last night? We were just like a real couple, right?"
The cup in his hand made a muffled sound, and the cracks on it spread out. Blood stained his palm, but Lin Jinyao did not feel pain. He threw the cup hard and shouted at her, "It was not me-"
In Su Mo's memory, Lin Jinyao had never spoken to her so loudly.
Su Mo looked at him in surprise. When she saw the disappointed expression on his face, her heart slowly turned cold. "It wasn't you? What do you mean?"
Lin Jinyao fiercely closed his eyes. He always took extremely good care of her like a princess and silently guarded her.
But she, on the day of her adulthood, hooked up with another man.
It felt like a treasure that he had cherished for a long time had been grabbed by someone else at the last moment. This kind of feeling was really hard to accept.
"I was just staying in the next room last night. How can you? Is this how you repay my love for you?"
Su Mo was stunned that the one who had sex with her last night was not Lin Jinyao.
Su Mo felt like she was about to collapse. She did not know what had happened.
A second ago, she was still indulgent in an ignorant shyness and happiness, but at this moment, she seemed to have been pushed into a bottomless abyss.
Fortunately, she still wanted to defend herself. She grabbed Lin Jinyao's arm and explained to him, "I thought it was you. I don't know what happened. Brother Jin, believe me."
She wanted to explain, but she did not know what was going on.
Moreover, Lin Jinyao was in a terrible mood right now. He did not want to hear her explanation at all. He took her hands away, and his eyes were cold and detached that she had never seen before.
Lin Jinyao felt very conflicted. Looking at Su Mo's aggrieved and crying face, he felt his chest was stuffy and painful.
His princess was crying and he wanted to hold her in his arms to comfort her, but he could not do it.
He was a man after all, and he thought that no man would be able to remain calm after seeing this scene.
It was also because of his silence that Su Mo felt a chill in her heart. It turned out that the feeling of being rejected was so bad.
Su Mo looked at her hands that had been pushed away and she choked with sobs. "Brother Jin, are you angry with me? I didn't do it on purpose. Believe me. I don't know what happened either. I was already like this after I woke up. Don't be angry, okay?"
Of course, Lin Jinyao believed her words, but he was only nineteen years old after all. In this situation, he could not face her at all.
Therefore, he chose to leave this place first. He needed to think it through carefully.
"I think we should both calm down." After saying this, Lin Jinyao did not dare to look at her.
As he passed by her, he felt her hands slightly pulling on his sleeve. She was begging for his pity, "Brother Jin, I was wrong. Can you forgive me this time? Don't leave me alone. I'm scared."
When had his princess ever been so humble?
"Momo, you have to give me some time. I am a person, and I will also feel pain." Lin Jinyao closed his eyes in pain.
Her hands fell back down limply. Su Mo could no longer hold back her tears as she watched Lin Jinyao leave.
Outside the door, Lin Jinyao leaned against the wall and listened to the crying inside. He clenched his fists bit by bit. His palm, which had been scratched by the glass, was bleeding profusely, but it was incomparable to the pain in his heart at this moment.
The lady boss of the hotel was a French. When she heard the voice, she came over and was shocked to see Lin Jinyao's bloody hands. She came to ask kindly, but she was completely ignored.
Hearing Su Mo's crying, the lady boss guessed that the couple had quarreled, so she knocked on the door and went in to take a look.
First, she comforted Su Mo in English. When she saw the traces on Su Mo's body, she thought that Su Mo had been bullied, so she could not help but start cursing. Sometimes, she spoke French, and then she switched to English. She seemed to speak other languages as well.
Unfortunately, Su Mo had been focused on crying and did not care about the lady boss at all. The lady boss asked for trouble and left after comforting Su Mo a few times.
Su Mo cried all the time. She was tired from crying, so she shut herself in the bathroom. This closed space gave her a strange sense of security.
The shower head above poured cold water on her head, soaking her whole body in the cold. Her tears were mixed with cold water, but they could not wash away her filth and humiliation.
The day before her birthday, Lin Jinyao had asked her where she wanted to celebrate her birthday. At that time, she did not hesitate to choose this place. However, she did not know that this trip would be the nightmare of her life.
She did not understand what was going on. Just before yesterday, everything had been fine, but on the day of her 18th birthday, she lost the most precious things in her life – her innocence, and her love.
"Brother Jin, this place is so beautiful. What should I do? I don't want to leave at all."
"If you like it, we will come here every month."
"Hey, you said it yourself! If you lie, you're a doggie! Woof!"
"I will never lie to my princess."
She could still feel these words filled with young and ignorant love around her ears, as she recalled the lavender field she saw yesterday.
However, before this love could bloom, it had already been completely erased by herself.
It had been ten years. From the first time she saw Lin Jinyao at her aunt's house, she had fallen in love with this pure boy.
Since she was young, Brother Jin doted on her the most. He tolerated all her shortcomings and bad temper. He pampered her like a proud princess. He even accompanied her to France for further education, since he was afraid that his little princess would be bullied outside.
She clearly remembered their acquaintance. She could recall their memories when he held her hand for the first time, confessed to her for the first time, fought with other boys for her, and kissed her face for the first time.
The heavens took away her most beloved father and mother, but then it gave her a gentle and considerate prince. She once thought that Lin Jinyao was the heavens' compensation to her.
Her love for him had long since been engraved in her heart and he had become an indispensable part of her life. She thought that he would hold her hands and walk to the end of her life.
But now, fate had played such a big joke on her. The castle that Lin Jinyao had built for her collapsed at this moment. All her beautiful dreams were shattered on this day!
The sky of the small town seemed to be a little bluer than what Su Mo had seen in Paris. In this season of blooming lavender, even the air was filled with a romantic atmosphere.
At the end of June, the weather was not hot yet, and the sun wasn't too bright.
On the streets of the small town, a pale woman walked past with her luggage.
Her entire body was wrapped by the clothes, revealing only her pale face. Her footsteps were so weak as if she was stepping on cotton. It felt like a gust of wind could blow her down.
After the holiday, almost all the students had left.
Those who didn't go home were also hanging out in twos and threes. The campus was empty, making her bleak heart even more lonely.
In the male dormitory, she couldn't find the person she had been looking for.
Su Mo asked the dormitory administrator and found out that Lin Jinyao had never come back.
She originally wanted to explain it to him and beg him to forgive her once, but it seemed that he did not give her this chance.
Her hope was lost. She stood downstairs in the male dormitory helplessly.
Like a lost deer, she did not know where to go.
Perhaps she should buy a plane ticket back home. At least, she wanted to explain it to him, but she wondered whether he would listen to her.
The phone vibrated in her pocket. Su Mo was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly took it out. She picked it up without even looking at it. She happily said to the microphone, "Brother Jin, please listen to my explanation."
There was a female voice on the other side of the line. She said helplessly, "Momo, did you quarrel with Jinyao? Did you make Jinyao angry again?"
The person talking on the phone turned out not to be him!
Su Mo stopped what she was about to say. She looked up at the sky and did not let her tears flow down. However, she could not hide the sobs in her voice. She said, "Auntie, I miss you so much."
The other party did not speak for a long time, so long that Su Mo thought that this phone call was an illusion.
Vaguely, Su Mo heard a sigh from the other party, "Momo, I'm sorry."
Tears flowed down her temples. Under the blue sky was a girl's sad smile. She deliberately raised her voice, "Auntie, you don't have to worry. I'm doing very well at school."
The other party seemed to be very relieved and smiled to say, "Of course, I know that you are very good. With Jinyao by your side, I'm very assured. From a young age, only Jinyao can bear your temper. Don't bully him at best."
Tears fell like rain. Su Mo quickly covered her mouth, not letting the other person hear her cry. She wanted to confess that there would be no future for them, but she did not dare.
She thought her aunt had worked hard because of her, so she could not let her aunt worry anymore.
"Momo, why aren't you talking?"
The other party could not hear Su Mo's voice and became a little worried. Su Mo was afraid that her aunt would be suspicious and quickly said, "Auntie, I'm fine. It's just that I haven't been home for too long. I wonder if you're doing well."
This excuse just concealed her sadness, and the other party did not doubt it.
Her aunt only said, "Yesterday was your birthday. I was so busy that I didn't call you. Today, I will make it up to you. Baby Momo, happy birthday!"
After a pause, the aunt continued, "Momo, from now on, you are an adult. In the future, even without me by your side, you have to take good care of yourself, understand?"
Su Mo cried and nodded. The other party said, "I feel very sorry for you. I was not able to accompany you on your 18th birthday. Fortunately, Jinyao has been with you. At least I could have a satisfactory reply to your parents after I die."
The other party's voice was a little choked up. Su Mo wiped her tears and suddenly felt a little distressed.
During the time Su Mo had left, after experiencing that kind of betrayal, her aunt must be very sad.
Su Mo thought about it and made up her mind. Whether it was for her aunt or Lin Jinyao, she had to go back.
So she pretended to be happy and said, "Auntie, I have nothing to do during the summer vacation anyway. How about I go back and see you?"
"Don't come back." Su Mo did not expect the other party to refuse, widening her eyes in surprise. She was somewhat hurt because her aunt did not seem to want her to go back.
The other party seemed to realize that her tone was too urgent and explained to Su Mo with a guilty conscience.
"Momo, you have Jinyao by your side. I'm not worried about you. I'm doing well here. You don't come back. France is so beautiful. You should take advantage of the holiday to play more outside. By the way, I have already paid the tuition fees for three years for you. You can confirm it with the school later."
Su Mo was a little surprised and asked the reason, but the other party did not answer her question.
"I have nothing to ask for. As long as you and Jinyao are doing well, I will be at ease."
"Auntie, what's wrong? Did something happen at home? Did that woman make a scene at home again? What about uncle-in-law? Did he bully you?" Su Mo could tell something was wrong and immediately asked.
"No, I'm very good. Don't worry. In the end, Su Clan is also our Su Family's business. Your grandfather left it for me and your father. The shares your father left for you plus mine are much more than his. He doesn't dare to bully me."
Hearing this, Su Mo was relieved. She temporarily forgot her pain and comforted her aunt through the phone, "Auntie, you must take good care of yourself. I will go back to see you and my brother during the New Year Festival."
The other party choked and said, "Alright. Bring Jinyao to visit me during that time. I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Su Mo squatted on the ground and cried, thinking to herself, "If my aunt knew what had happened yesterday, would she also leave me just as Brother Jin had done? Could it be that she would no longer dote on me in the future?"
Su Mo spent this day in guilt, self-blame, and fear. At night, she had a nightmare and dreamed of the scene of the car accident she had when she was a child.
This was the first time she dreamed of the death of her parents after many years when she saw them standing on the side of the road and smiling in her dream.
She wanted to run over, but she only found that the two faces suddenly became her aunt and uncle-in-law.
Waking up from the nightmare, Su Mo quickly took out her phone.
It was two o'clock in the morning overseas. At this time, her aunt was usually eating breakfast and preparing to go to the company. She called her aunt, but no one answered.
Thinking her aunt might be busy, Su Mo put her phone back and lay on the bed, but she could not fall asleep no matter what.
The uneasiness in her heart suddenly came, and that feeling made her feel terrified and restless as if she was suffering the departure of her parents back then.
In a daze, she was woken up by the phone ringing. Su Mo saw that it was a call from home, so she quickly picked it up and asked, "Auntie, why didn't you pick up my phone call just now?"
The servant's voice came from the other side. He said anxiously, "Eldest Miss, come back quickly! Something happened at home!"
"Bang!"
The phone in her hand slipped down, leaving only the voice of the servant in her ears.
"That woman took away Master's money with someone else, and she secretly sent someone to the school to take Young Master away. Master had a car accident on the way to chase after her and died on the spot.
"Now the company is in debt, Madam can't hold on by herself. She committed suicide in the bathroom last night. Today, the police came to check on her assets. No one in the hospital claimed her body. Eldest Miss, come back quickly!"
Su Mo stuffed the passport and wallet into her schoolbag. She took a taxi at the school gate and headed straight to the airport. When she arrived at the airport, she found that all the bank cards her aunt gave her had been frozen, and the money in her wallet was not enough to buy a plane ticket back home.
Despair made its way into her again. Su Mo carried her schoolbag and stood in the huge airport. Looking at the various people around her, she found herself humble and insignificant for the first time.
With her last hope, she walked to the ticket counter, handed over her passport and visa, and said in French in a less-than-standard fashion, "I want to buy the fastest plane ticket to A City in China."
At the airport, the female ground staff reported the flight that met her requirements to her and then helped her handle the formalities.
"Miss, you don't have enough money." The female ground staff looked at her doubtfully when Su Mo was about to pay.
The people who were waiting to buy the tickets all looked over, and Su Mo's face immediately turned red.
Su Mo had never encountered such an embarrassing situation before. She lowered her head uneasily and explained in a low voice, "Sorry, my bank card has been frozen. That's all I have."
The beautiful female ground staff expressed her understanding, but she could not sell the ticket to Su Mo. She could only return the passport, visa, and money to Su Mo.
"Something happened to my family. I have to rush back immediately. Can you help me?" Su Mo asked, looking at her with red eyes.
The female ground staff was also very embarrassed and suggested that Su Mo call her friend to borrow money.
The people behind were in a hurry to buy tickets, so Su Mo had to move aside. She took out her phone and dialed Lin Jinyao's number after hesitating for a long time.
The call went through, but no one answered. She called three times in a row, but no one picked it up. Her tears rolled down silently.
A day ago, she was still a pampered little princess, and she had her aunt and Brother Jin who loved her dearly.
But now, one had died and the other one had left. She could feel nothing but falling from heaven to hell.
She knew that she was not qualified to hate anyone, but she wondered why the heavens were so cruel to her.
The people in line to buy tickets had all left, but Su Mo was still standing next to the counter, constantly dialing the phone.
The phone calls for her roommates were connected, but all of them had already gone home a long time ago. Distant waters were powerless against fires nearby. She had no choice.
"A ticket to A City in China."
A man appeared, wearing sunglasses and branded clothes. He was Chinese, but he spoke standard French.
"Sir, can you lend me some money?" Su Mo walked up to him with the last glimmer of hope and spoke to him in Chinese.
The man took over his plane ticket. Looking at her in his brown glasses, he did not stop for a moment. His slender legs walked past her.
When Su Mo saw this, she quickly grabbed his arm and begged, "Sir, I know I'm being rude, but I have something urgent to do. I'll go to A City too. When I get back to A City, I'll definitely return the money to you."
The man did not seem to hear what she said, his gaze slowly moving up from her hand.
When he saw her face clearly, a strange look flashed through his usually cold eyes. He pursed his perfect lips and spat out two words, "Let go!"
Unexpectedly, he was so hard-hearted. When Su Mo saw that he was about to leave, she hugged his arm with both hands and cried, "My bank cards are all frozen. I don't have enough money on me. I'm begging you. You just need to lend me two hundred Euros."
However, the other party rejected her request. With a slight shake of his arm, he flung her away. Then, the cold man did not even look at her and strode away.
A lot of people were in the airport lobby. He pushed her to the ground just like that, attracting many people's attention.
But at this time, Su Mo did not care about the pain at all. She only knew that she could not let him leave.
Many people saw the agile movements of this eastern woman. She flew over and hugged the man's thigh with both hands, begging, "Help me, please! I'm begging you."
The surrounding people all noticed the situation here. The ground staff also came over to check the situation. More and more people watched, making the man's perfect facial expression colder and colder.
Su Mo also knew that this was not appropriate, but she had already gone all out, hugging the man's thigh and begging.
"I am not a liar. I can tell you my cell phone number, and I can also give you my ID card.
"I will definitely pay you back. I will repay you. Please, take me back. My aunt is still waiting for me. Hmmm... I beg you..."
The ground staff came up and wanted to pull Su Mo away, but she desperately hugged the man's thigh. Her tears and snot all wiped on his expensive suit pants.
The man frowned in displeasure and bent down, using only one hand to lift her up.
For the first time, she cried like an abandoned cat when they were so close to each other.
As for him, he was unexpectedly not disgusted at her. He only vaguely remembered the girl in front of her was the one who was brimming with happiness in the coffee shop.
When her feet touched the ground, Su Mo felt that she was doomed. She even wanted to kneel down and beg him, but unexpectedly, she heard him say to the female ground staff behind the counter, "A plane ticket to A City in China."
Su Mo suddenly raised her head and looked at him. Through the brown lenses, she could not see his expression, but the cold smile on his lips made her timid.
The man paid the money and left directly. With the female ground staff's reminder, Su Mo re-handled the purchase procedures.
When she changed her boarding pass, she found that the man had already disappeared.
On the plane, Su Mo looked around and soon saw the man who helped her buy the plane ticket. Her seat was next to his with only two seats in the middle.
The pair of brown glasses on the man's face was not removed, so she could not see his face clearly.
She wanted to ask for the man's name and phone number, but the man's aura was too strong, so she did not dare to get close. She could only sit down obediently.
Along the way, Su Mo stole glances at the man, but the man seemed to be very tired and he slept all the way.
She thought about it and changed seats with the person next to him. She quietly stuffed a note with her phone number written on it into his pocket.
After getting off the plane, Su Mo carried her schoolbag and quickly passed through the airport lobby. Her mind was occupied by her family and she did not notice the gaze of the man behind her.
When Xiao Nanye came out with his luggage, the driver of the Xiao Family was already waiting outside. When the driver saw Xiao Nanye coming out, he hurriedly greeted Xiao Nanye. He opened the door and asked Xiao Nanye to get in the car. The car drove all the way into the Xiao Mansion.
Su Clan was considered a leading enterprise in A City. Now that the person in charge of the company was dead, all the huge debts were all on Su Mo. She was the only successor of Su Clan.
After returning to the country, Su Mo found that she had no time to grieve.
There were too many things waiting for her to do. She first went to the hospital to collect her aunt's body, cremate her, and then bury her ashes with those of her uncle-in-law.
Then she had to deal with the debts and employee salaries. Su Mo tried to save the company. After all, this was her grandfather's lifetime's worth of effort. She could not watch the company go bankrupt.
Su Mo found the business contact lists on her aunt's mobile phone, which contained detailed personal information and all kinds of relationships between them and Su Clan.
She picked up the phone with hope and called to greet them one by one, but she was rejected again and again. After that, she had to visit them personally, but she was rejected again.
After being stopped at the entrance for several days, she gradually understood the superficiality of human relationships.
The shareholders only wanted to share riches and honor, but they were not willing to suffer hardships.
Seeing that Su Mo had returned to take control of the overall situation, the shareholders immediately requested to hold a shareholder meeting. In name, they wanted to discuss countermeasures, but in reality, they wanted to withdraw their shares. They all knew that Su Clan was doomed.
Previously, Su Mo's uncle-in-law had never allowed her to come into contact with the company because he was afraid she would steal the family fortune. These shareholders had only bullied her, a little girl. Su Mo had no choice but to watch as Su Clan was bought over.
She still had a huge debt on her. She could not ignore the employees who had worked for Su Clan for many years. Su Mo had to sell all her family property and even sell the house that her grandfather had left her.
But even so, it was still not enough. Just when she was at her wit's end and was almost forced to a dead end by the debtor, something happened.
She received a call.
Su Mo took a taxi to the place where the other side of the line made an appointment with her. It was an Italian-style coffee shop.
After entering, she shifted her gaze slowly and she saw the man sitting by the French window at a glance.
For the past half month, she had been so busy that she had no time to be sad. She had also forgotten the man who had extended a helping hand to her, and she had not expected that he would take the initiative to call her.
Su Mo took a deep breath and walked over with her bag. She sat down opposite him and said to him with a smile, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
Although she was not late, this was basic etiquette. Moreover, if not for this man, she would not have been able to get on the plane. Inside her heart, he was considered her benefactor.
"What do you want to drink?"
The man's voice was as low as the melody of a cello played at the tip of fingers. It was very pleasant to hear.
Su Mo looked up at him. He was not wearing sunglasses today. This was the first time she saw his face clearly.
With his deep facial features and almost perfect features, it was hard to imagine that a man could look so stunning.
At first glance, he made her feel a rush of excitement, and of course, she could not ignore his cold eyes.
It was a coffee shop, so she naturally chose to have coffee here.
Su Mo casually ordered a cup of coffee and sent the waiter away. She lowered her head and took out six hundred euros from her wallet. She placed the pieces of money on the table and pushed them over. She said, "Thank you very much for that day. To express my gratitude, I will treat you to today's coffee."
The man's eyes fell on the money on the crystal table.
Seeing that he did not express anything, Su Mo withdrew her hands awkwardly and heard the person opposite saying, "I didn't call you here for this."
Su Mo was a little surprised. Although she had guessed that this person would not care about these six hundred euros, she wondered what other reason he had to meet her.
The man leaned back a little, looked at the girl with a blank face, and spoke out his purpose, "When we were at the airport, you said that you would repay me."
Su Mo did not deny this and nodded, "How do you want me to repay you?"
The man suddenly stopped talking. His slightly lowered gaze made him even more charming.
Su Mo quietly looked at him. This man was almost the best choice for a woman. His hairstyle was meticulous, and he was wearing Armani's latest casual shirt. His fingers were slender as he stirred coffee, and the platinum cuffs on his sleeves flashed with a cold luster.
Su Mo could not figure out what he needed her to do, since that he was such an outstanding man.
He put the spoon on the plate, and he picked up the cup of coffee. His long and narrow eyes looked over and saw the confusion on Su Mo's face.
"To be honest, I'm in some trouble right now."
Su Mo thought that it turned out that they had encountered the same misfortune.
Su Mo really wanted to tell him that she was also in trouble now.
However, she was not going to complain to a man she had only met twice, so she asked, "What can I help you with?"
The man put down the cup, as his perfect lips opened and closed, "I want you to marry me."
When he said this sentence, he looked quite normal as if he was saying that he wanted to invite her to dance.
Before Su Mo could think about it, her body had already reacted first.
The cup beside her hand was bumped down and she smashed it on the coffee that had just been sent over. The hot coffee spilled on her body, scaring Su Mo to quickly stand up. The man handed her a tissue with his slender fingers, but she did not take it. Instead, she picked up her handbag and went to the bathroom.
The man did not mind her departure. His perfect lips were pursed and his sexy and charming appearance made the girls in the coffee shop steal a peek.
The waitress of the coffee shop quickly came over to clean up the table, and then replaced a cup of coffee for the guest.
During the whole process, the waitress glanced at the man on the sofa from time to time. The waitress's face was red, which was somewhat abnormal. Even if this man sat there and did not speak, he still had the capital to bewitch people.
Su Mo stayed in the bathroom for a long time. She splashed cold water on her face, trying to clear her mind.
Until now, she still thought it must be an auditory hallucination. She didn't believe that the man she had only seen twice had said that he wanted to marry her.
"Why?"
Su Mo calmed herself down and sat opposite him again, asking him this question.
She wondered inside her heart, "Who would like to casually find a woman to marry when he is in trouble?"
She did not even know his name.

"How much do you want?"
The man had an impatient expression on his face.
Su Mo glanced at him and reported a number. Then she lowered her head awkwardly. She also knew that this was impossible, pondering inside her heart that if he refused...
