"Are you doing this to have s.e.x with me?" She asked him scornfully.

    He felt like he is struck with big lightning. He is stunned. He doesn''t know what to tell her. Actually, he is speeding the things to eat her.

    But he forgot that she is not a normal woman. She got his intentions right. He froze in his position.

    Yan Shu grew angry at him she huffed at him loudly. Her huff brought him back to reality from his frozen state.

    Yan Shu turned around and took a step. With the intention of leaving his sight.

    But Mu sheng is swift with his actions. He got up from his stance. He caught her wrist and turned her towards him. She turned away her face.

    He cupped her face with the left hand and made her look at him.

    "Yan Shu, please listen to me. It''s not like what you think" he tried to plead her.

    " It''s not like what you think. Really? You proposed the day you returned. Are you that eager to have me? If you came home these days you would have proposed the next day itself. Right?" She said through her gritted teeth.

    "No....."

    "I  thought you are different from all men. I always saw men as fickle beings except you. But you proved me wrong. You also think about your lower body like others. Hmph!" With that, she freed herself from his grasp. And turned to leave.

    But Mu Sheng quickly chased after her. He stood in front of her. But she tried to leave while evading him. But he didn''t allow her he caught her shoulders.

    "Yan Shu, I have been loving you from the last sixteen years. You don''t even know my existence until seven years ago.

    "I proposed to you five years back. But you rejected me continuously for the whole five years. I changed my self for you a lot these years. I tried very hard so that I can suit you.

    "I was scared all this while because I am not enough for you. Do you know how scared I was when your parents asked us to break up? I know I got this second chance because of your persuading.

    "As days passed I''m growing insecure, Yan Shu. I want to have a guarantee that you are mine and will be mine.

    "I want to live with you my whole life until I got wrinkles all over my body and until my hair turns grey. After I retired from all these things I want to have a woman to spend that leisure life with me. And I want that woman only to be you.

    "You are outstanding in every way. I know I don''t deserve you. But I want you, Yan Shu. Only you. I can''t accept any other woman in my life. I planned my whole life with you only. If you are not there in this life I don''t need this life.

    "Yan Shu, please accept me.  I know I''m being selfish. But you are the only woman who makes me selfish.

    "I promise I will protect you from now. Let me be the one who solves your problem. I want you to allow me into your life. And I want you to become lazy and lean on me for every small thing. I want you to be my one and only wife.  Yan Shu, will you marry me?" Mu sheng said all the words in a moment of his panicked state.

    But he felt very anxious at that second. He is scared truly scared. He really doesn''t know how to live without her. When she turned to leave his heartbeat started beating very hard.

    He is scared of losing her. Because he felt far from her. She had everything she needs. She had the capability to do anything.

    There are a lot of men in the world. She can choose anyone without lifting a finger. He always scared of his position beside her. He is known as Devil king, Demon King, a cold, heartless CEO. But these are all not in front of her.

    There are a lot of things which are obstructing their relationship. Her parents are one of them. He agrees that he fastened things for having s.e.x with her. But also to shut his parents. If they are both married then her parents will have no say about their relationship anymore. That way he will feel more secured her.

    Yan Shu knows he is insecure about their relationship but she didn''t know he had these many insecurities. She loved him truly loved him. She also imagined a family with him. She also wants to grow old with him.

    She thought she is teasing him about their relationship. But she understood now only that she added more insecurities to him.

    She lifted her head to meet his eyes. His eyes had an anxious and pleading gaze. His eyes are bloodshot. Seeing him like that her heart ached. She wanted to assure him that she will be his. Only his. She loved him for a long time. And still loving him and will love him.

    Suddenly Mu Sheng yanked her into his embrace. He hugged her tightly. She felt like her bones are being crushed into his body. She can feel his heartbeat. It is beating very hard. She felt that his heart might pop out of his ribcage at this rate.

    "Yan Shu, please don''t leave me" he pleaded again.

    "Mu sheng, let go of me. "

    "No, you will leave me if I let you go."

    "No, I will not. I can''t breathe" she said as she panted.

    With that, he left her. Because he knows he can''t force her.

    " Mu Sheng, you don''t trust my love towards you?" She asked as she gazed at him deeply.

    " No, I trust you more than anything in the world"

    "Only why are you so insecure? I Only want you in this lifetime. I refused you because of your perverted thoughts. Not because I don''t like you.

    "Whenever I see another man. Unconsciously I will compare him with you. In the end, everyone fails to catch my eyes. In my eyes, you are the only one who is perfect. You are the only one who deserves me. I''m not perfect. I''m also imperfect. In fact, I didn''t tell you about my past to you. The family I had now is my foster family. My real family...

    I should be the one who should be more insecure. Not you. I should be the one who should be scared. Not you.

    I will marry you only. In this lifetime, I want only you. As the elders said if there is an eternity existed  I want you to be my husband will those lives.

    Even I can''t imagine my life with another person. Don''t insult my love towards you with all these insecurities." She pleaded. He felt like a sharp knife stabbed his heart when he heard her words.

    "I''m sorry" he mouthed.

    "So will you marry me?"
