Listening to Nangong Xun, Mu Ru became more anxious. She stared at Nangong Xun for a long time. She then asked, "Then...What do you want?"
"Of course...I want you," Nangong Xun answered with a firm tone. Looking at her expression, he chuckled and said, "Mu Ru, don't be so nervous. I'm not Dongfang Mo. You shouldn't be terrified of me."
Mu Ru glanced at him. Nangong Xun looked like a talented person. Mu Ru could acknowledge that he was a hundred times more handsome than Dongfang Mo.
However, for some reason, she no longer felt afraid of Dongfang Mo. Instead, she felt afraid of Nangong Xun, but she couldn't really explain why. She had a feeling that Nangong Xun was not as simple as he looked.
"Mr. Nangong, Dongfang Mo and I are already married. That cannot be changed," Mu Ru said as she moved behind the sofa. She continued, "You can't have me anymore. Please accept the two hundred million. The Xi family has let you down, and I have let you down. I apologize to you. Please forgive me!"
Mu Ru stood up and bowed low to Nangong Xun. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
"All right, Mu Ru." Nangong Xun quickly reached out to help her up. Then, he smiled and said, "Why are you apologizing to me? It's not your fault that you married Dongfang Mo. You weren't the one who wanted to marry Dongfang Mo back then. It was your father and sister who forced you to marry Dongfang Mo. None of this is your fault. It's your father's doing, and Xi Muxue is also to be blamed for it."
Mu Ru was stunned when she realized that Nangong Xun understood the whole situation well. She quickly explained, "Yes, I didn't ask to go in the beginning, but later, when you came to see Dongfang Mo to ask for me, I didn't choose to go with you. In short, it was also my fault, so—"
Nangong Xun smiled and interrupted her. "That wasn't your fault either. Mu Ru, back then, you were very tense because Dongfang Mo was there. You were scared out of your wits. I was unable to take you away from a tyrannical man like Dongfang Mo. I don't blame you if you didn't choose to leave with me. Even if you had chosen to leave with me, Dongfang Mo would not have let you. He would have tortured you for it. Therefore, I don't blame you at all. You made those decisions because you had no choice. You didn't do it of your own free will."
Mu Ru became even more anxious. She hurriedly tried to give an explanation. "It's not like that. Actually—"
"All right, Mu Ru. Stop talking," Nangong Xun said. He clearly didn't want to hear her explanation. He waved his hand and said, "Your marriage with Dongfang Mo is not legal. You know this very well because there is no marriage certificate to prove its validity. Moreover, everyone knows that Dongfang Mo is a eunuch. You are still a virtuous woman. Therefore, I have decided to marry you tonight. I will bring you to Singapore tomorrow. Girls in Singapore can register for marriage after they turn eighteen. We will go to the marriage registration office tomorrow morning and secure our marriage certificate. Then, we will be a legal couple. Dongfang Mo will not be able to take you back."
