My Secretary is a Little Sweet

Chapter 543: Marrying Mu Qing

The Old Lady had been worried about Jing Yichen’s marriage, because he was very distant and almost no women could approach him. He had been alone for more than thirty years, and that made her worry.

However, he changed overnight after meeting a virtuous Shangguan Ning. He got married and fathered a child at a jet speed and ended up living a happy life. That made her feel relieved.

She expected that her grandson would live a happy life now.

But now she had started to worry about her granddaughter after her grandson was settled.

She was already 28 years old!

Would Mu Qing wait for her if she continued to refuse him?

Even though Mu Qing was willing to wait for her, the old man of the Mu Family might come to complain to her for not settling down with his grandson. Mu Family would have no offspring left if she kept refusing to get married!

Zhao Anan was worried that her disease would return at some point and that Mu Qing would be affected. But the point was that she was not sick right now and just because she was worried that she might get sick one day, did not mean that she should spend her life all alone.

The Old Lady was very annoyed and had tried all kinds of methods to get her granddaughter shifted to the Mu Family.

But Zhao Anan was a stubborn person. No one would be able to persuade her once she made a decision.

However, Zhao Anan’s friend Shangguan Ning was sparing no efforts to help her. If the plan worked out, Zhao Anan would definitely marry Mu Qing.

When the Old Lady thought of this, she could not help but show a bright smile. When she realized that she had smiled without any reason, she suddenly changed her expressions and turned a cold face towards Zhao Anan.

Zhao Anan felt the hair rise on her neck and a touch of unease flashed in her heart.

She felt that something was wrong with her grandmother. She had looked so sad a moment ago and then started to smile. But the smile disappeared after one second and now her expression was different again.

Her grandmother had become too fickle!

“Grandmother, are you alright?”

“Damned girl, do you want me to be unwell?!”

“No! I expect you to live for 500 years more so that you can break some record or something.” Zhao Anan held the Old Lady’s arms and sounded adorable.

This method used to work well upon the Old Lady, but it failed today. She refused to react and even pushed her away.

Zhao Anan was confused.

She just could not stand being trapped indoors every single day. Where was the fun? She had to face the same thing every single day and there was nothing new happening around. She truly had no idea what she ought to do apart from sleeping.

Was she going to be trapped indoors throughout her life?

Only when the Old Lady was not here any longer, she could step outside for as long as she wanted.

But she did not want her grandmother to be gone. She wanted her to live long and healthy!

Zhao Anan was like a caged bird who could not fly but stare at the vast sky, feeling trapped.

The Old Lady of the Zhao Family threw a look at her granddaughter who looked distressed and felt a bit proud inside her heart about her own performance.

But she did not show anything on her face. After thinking for a moment, the Old Lady said calmly, “If you don’t want to marry Mu Qing, then just forget about it. I won’t force you into it any more.”

Zhao Anan looked up abruptly. She was startled.

What did she mean? What made her suddenly say that?

She felt a bit relieved inside her heart, but got a bit sad also.

“Anan, let me ask you for the last time. Do you want to marry Mu Qing or not?”

The old Lady looked serious. Zhao Anan started to feel very, very uncomfortable inside her heart.

Why was she forced to make such a choice?

Wasn’t her relationship with Mu Qing going well nowadays?

Zhao Anan felt a bit bitter inside her heart. She knew that she was being selfish.

She did not want to give up Mu Qing, nor did she want to marry him. But she couldn’t keep him hanging in a limbo.

She was feeling very messed up inside her heart. She did want to give up everything just to live with Mu Qing, but whenever she saw Mu Qing’s handsome and sunny smiles, she just could not help but waver.

She no longer had the courage which she had felt in the UK to express her feelings towards him.

When she returned, Mu Qing stopped tagging along with her. Normally, he would go wherever she went and it was impossible to get rid of him.

Could it have been that Mu Qing had lost the patience, finally?

Whenever she thought of the possibility of such a situation, she felt very upset.

She could not accept that Mu Qing had stopped loving her.

But only when Mu Qing stopped loving her, would he want to leave her and marry someone else. Wasn’t that always what she wanted?

Mu Qing was an excellent man who should get a healthy and nice wife to spend the rest of his life with.

But she was really unwilling to accept that too...

As she was sitting there with her head slightly lowered, Zhao Anan fell into silence.

Seeing her, her grandmother said calmly, “If you are not saying it, I take the answer to be no. I will visit the Mu Family tomorrow and apologize to Mu Wensheng for you holding Mu Qing hanging for more than a decade. I will tell Mu Qing that he will never be allowed to have any connection with you or visit our family any more.”

Zhao Anan lifted her head in shock.

She had never expected that her grandmother would be so determined this time.

So from today onwards, she was not allowed to see Mu Qing any more?

Actually, it should have been easy to part with Mu Qing. The only reason why she was not away from him was because she could not stop thinking about him!

“Think about it. If you change your mind before my visit to the Mu Family tomorrow morning, you can come to tell me. If you do not show up, then I will take it that you don’t want to marry him. Accordingly, I will inform Mu Qing that he can get married elsewhere if he wants.”

Having said the words, she stood up from the sofa and walked towards her own bedroom in slow steps.

She hoped that Zhao Anan would come to her and cry out that she wanted to marry Mu Qing.

But even when she reached the bedroom, Zhao Anan had not come to her.

The Old Lady got very annoyed by the time she reached the bedroom. Damn girl, stubborn and determined. Nothing worked on her!

What did she do to deserve such a girl? She resembled neither her nor her mother, but her father!

Zhao Anan did not show her face on the following day when the Old Lady of the Zhao Family was about to leave home for the Mu Family.
