Li Chenmo’s Selfishness

"Thank you sister-in-law. Then, I will take my leave." Xiao Zhang said happily.

"Xiao Zhang, this is for you. You can eat these on the way." Lu Jueyu stuffed some steamed buns and har gau for him.

Xiao Zhang nodded and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

After sending Xiao Zhang away, Lu Jueyu went to Li Chenmo's bedroom, while Father Li went to get the tableware. As soon as she entered the room, Lu Jueyu saw Li Chenmo sitting on the edge of the bed. She was surprised when she saw him try to stand up.

She hurried over to hold him back, with a hint of anger and worry in her tone, she said, "Brother Chenmo, what do you want to do?"

Li Chenmo felt that his injury was getting better, and wanted to walk for a while to relieve the soreness in his body. It's just that he didn't expect Lu Jueyu to come in suddenly. He looked at her and saw her frowning while holding his arm. Seeing her worrying about him made his mood improve instantly.

Seeing him smile, Lu Jueyu was a little annoyed, and asked, "What are you laughing at? Are you turning a blind eye to your injury? You didn't consider the consequences of falling, did you?"

Lu Jueyu didn't understand why she was so upset seeing him so careless with himself. She shouldn't feel this way, but she just can't help it. When she saw him almost fall when trying to stand up, her heart tightened with fear, which turned to anger. But this man didn't feel sorry at all and still can smile!

Seeing that she was really angry, Li Chenmo held back his smile and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry for making you worry. But, I feel sore all over and want to walk for a while."

Hearing him apologize sincerely, she suddenly couldn't get angry. She took a deep breath and said softly, "If you want to take a walk, you can ask Uncle Li, or wait for me. Don't do it yourself. If you fall, your leg injury will get worse."

After a while, he looked at her and asked, "Do you mind the condition of my legs?"

Lu Jueyu didn't know why he asked this obvious question, and said honestly, "Of course I mind."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Chenmo's eyes darkened, and he withdrew his arm from her hands. Before he got depressed, Lu Jueyu said again, "Do you know how scared I was when I saw you almost fall just now? Look, your wound is bleeding again!"

When she saw the blood, she forgot her purpose in coming. She was going to ask him to postpone their marriage for another month. She worries that after marriage, when the heroine arrives, Li Chenmo may regret his decision. Although she doesn't feel comfortable thinking about him being with the heroine, she doesn't want him to regret being with her either. Therefore, it is better to give him a chance to choose.

He is a man with a sense of justice, even if he regrets marrying her, he will not divorce her. So she's the only one who can take action to stop this from happening. After all, only she knows the plot. The male lead's love for the female lead is very deep and strong.

Lu Jueyu went to fetch a basin of water, helped Li Chenmo clean up the blood, applied medicine, and re-bandaged his wound. From beginning to end, she remained silent.

Li Chenmo felt that something was wrong with her, and said, "Jueyu, I'm sorry. Don't be angry anymore."

After bandaging the wound, she sat beside him and said, "Brother Chenmo, I think our marriage should be postponed. Look, your injury..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Li Chenmo interrupted her.

"Don't even think about it!"

Startled by his harsh tone, she stared at him with wide eyes.

When Li Chenmo heard the first half of her sentence, he panicked and interrupted her. He didn't want to hear what she said next, and he didn't want her to even think about it at all. Although he knew it was selfish not to give her a chance to choose despite knowing that he might be limping in the future, he still didn't want to give her a chance to change her mind.

He held her hand and said, "Jueyu, I will listen to you and I will get better soon. So, don't postpone our marriage, okay? Look, my injury is much better now."

Hearing his words, she looked at his wound and found that the recovery speed was indeed faster than she expected. However, her reason was not because of this, it was just her excuse.

"But you.."

"No 'but'. I already gave you everything I have and you already accepted it. You can't go back on your words and abandon me. I know it was my fault, I should go visit your parents when I return. I will go visit your parents tomorrow, alright?"

Lu Jueyu was caught off guard by him. She wants to delay their marriage, but why now it looks like she might get married earlier than planned?

"Since you didn't say anything, then I will take it as you agree to it." Li Chenmo said without giving her a chance to refuse.

"Brother Chenmo, you..."

"Jueyu, I'm hungry." Li Chenmo interrupted her and said with an aggrieved tone.

Being interrupted again, Lu Jueyu sighed and said, "I'm going to get the food."

Since the hero is unwilling to wait for the heroine, she can't do anything as cannon fodder. She will think about it later.

After she left the room, Li Chenmo looked at her back blankly. When he thought of the possibility that she might suddenly postpone the wedding, he could only think of two people. That Du guy has been recuperating at home since he was beaten by Xiao Zhang, and has no chance to find Lu Jueyu. Therefore, the only person who might cause her trouble is Su Anna. It appears his warning fell on deaf ears.
