Secret Crush novel Chapter 177

She did have a crush on him, or even a closer relationship with him, but it didn't mean that she would marry him. Her own matter hadn't been over yet, and even if she finished dealing with it, she wouldn't be so eager to make an engagement with him.

She didn't mean to describe them with hypocrisy or not, but their relationship hadn't reached that state, especially when it came to Max for herself.

She knew how deep her love was, so she was also very clear in her heart.

She didn't want Max to be regretful after getting married because of this mishap.

"Leila ever thought about this?"

Finally, it came. What Senior Mr. Mu said pushed Leila to the edge of the storm. For a moment, both her eyes stared at Leila, which panicked her. She bit her lips, not knowing how to answer.

If she said no to them face-to-face, not only would Max get angry, but even her father Senior Mr. Mu would have a strange opinion of her. But if she agreed, she would really be in a trouble for the rest of her life. What if Max realized that he was just a temporary impulse, not a true love? What should she do?

When Max saw the little woman in front of him think deeply and without an answer, he showed a complicated expression.

In the past, he would never ask for her opinion. He always wanted to get what he wanted, and he would try every means to pull her to his side. He would never ask her opinions.

But now, he couldn't be so reckless as before.

Of course, he could also guess Leila's concerns, she must have a sense of insecurity, so she looked so confused and hesitant.

This time, he wouldn't force her.

Looking at Leila's reaction, Senior Mr. Mu was more certain that she was not greedy for wealth. Many girls would be very excited when hearing this, after all, being able to marry a CEO of a group which could be sold in South Sea, almost wealthy and occupying the center of the domestic economic market.

In fact, no girl could refuse such a temptation from a rich family.

But she was hesitating, not about how to euphemistically promise. Senior Mr. Mu was a man of high self-knowledge, and he would never make a wrong judgment. He could feel the complicated emotion of Leila.

She was wondering how to refuse him, but not how to accept him.

He was sure about that.

He arched his brows and thought, 'it seems that the woman my son has a crush on is not simple. But it takes my son some time and effort to win her heart.'.

"Since you haven't discussed it yet, let's wait and see."

Hearing Senior Mr. Mu said like this, Leila stopped being aggressive. Leila breathed a sigh of relief when Senior Mr. Mu said this before she gave an answer. Max's eyes were deep, and he said in a low voice: "OK."

At the beginning, she felt like she could hardly eat anything.

After Leila had a few bites like chewing wax, she stopped eating. Senior Mr. Mu saw through her mind and didn't make trouble for her, but Max didn't stop eating. Instead, he looked indifferent and elegant.

After lunch, Leila sat on the sofa, holding a cup of water and taking a sip.

"Let's go." said Max.

His words brought Leila back to reality. She looked at Senior Mr. Mu who was smiling kindly at her and nodded, "Take care."

With a wrinkled smile on his face, Senior Mr. Mu nodded and responded, "Okay. When will you come back?"

After hearing that, Leila thought for a while and didn't answer. Sitting next to them, Max gave her a hint with his eyes. Leila answered, "It will be quick, won't it?"

Only then did Senior Mr. Mu nod with satisfaction and waved his hand.

"Well, you can go back now. Be careful on the way."

Both Leila and Max nodded their heads slightly and then left shoulder to shoulder. When they walked out of the gate of the Mu's private house, Leila was relieved but not feeling the atmosphere was too depressing. On the contrary, the atmosphere was very harmonious today. It was only because Senior Mr. Mu's question and Max's answer made her feel heavy.

She had never thought about getting married. Now that they had put the most important thing on her, she could not help thinking about it.

She had to say that today's meeting had really given her a huge problem.

Whether she would like to accept it or not, it was very difficult for her.

If she said yes, her future life would be limited. She might even be abandoned at any time in the future.

But she couldn't tell her feelings if she didn't accept his proposal. She just felt that it was impossible to marry him. This was her most determined idea which had never changed.

Staring at the back of Max, a kind of unspeakable emotion emerged in her heart. Leila shook her head and abandoned all her thoughts.

No matter she wanted to escape or selfishly, she didn't want to face this problem at this moment.

And Leila was relieved that Max didn't mention it when coming out of Mu family's private house, not forcing her.

When they was back, Max was back to the company. Leila was confused that he was also in the company during his day off, but she didn't care about it.
