The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Chapter 1438: I Only Want You (136)

He could not figure out why his mother would let him marry a random woman but refuse to accept his girlfriend. To him, his girlfriend was a lot better than Mu Qixing

Mother has got such poor taste.

Mu Qixing did not feel uncomfortable or disturbed by his conversation with Xia Banqin at all.

She stared at the bottles of cosmetic products on the table, all of which were from a prestigious brand.

They were part of her dowry.

Her family had bought them for her.

Although she rarely put on makeup, she would often use some cosmetic and skincare products. She was 26 years old yet still very inexperienced.

She decided to try her hand at doing her own makeup. Surprisingly, the effects were not too bad.

Noticing that she had put on some makeup, Luo Xing quipped harshly, "What are you putting on makeup for? You're not going out anyway. Are you doing it for me? Don't bother wasting your efforts."

"No, I'm not putting on makeup for you. Why would I waste my efforts on trying to please you when I know that it's completely pointless? I'm going out for a job interview later."

"Mother said that we're not allowed to leave," he emphasized.

"Sorry, but Mother only said that you're not allowed to leave the house. She didn't ground me." Mu Qixing could not be bothered by his opinions at all. She stood up and left with her bag.

Luo Xing muttered under his breath in disgruntlement, "No wonder you're cousins. You've all got the same character."

——

Mrs. Mu knocked on the door and said, "Wansheng, Chief Fan is here. Your grandpa wants you to go over."

Mu Wansheng immediately sat up straight and answered, "Coming."

She leaped up and felt as if she had become a teenager again, full of energy and rigor.

After doing her makeup, Mu Wansheng headed to the living room to see that there were lots of gifts there.

Fan Shixin was sitting on the couch, clad in an immaculate black suit. Upon the sight of her, he smiled.

Mu Wansheng asked, "What are these?"

"Betrothal gifts," he answered.

"Why are there so many?"

"I got my mother to prepare them. These are just mandatory traditional customs." He stood up, took out a deposit receipt from his pocket, and handed it to Mu Wansheng. "This one's for you. Keep it for yourself."

Mu Wansheng opened it to take a look, only to receive a great shock.

There are so many zeros…

There was a total of more than 40 million dollars.

"Why is there so much money…?"

"Those are all the savings that I had accumulated throughout all these years. I'm giving them to you now."

Moved to tears, Mu Wansheng said, "Save it for yourself, I don't want it."

He insisted, "From now on, we'll live together and you'll be my wife. I've already gained permission from Grandpa and he agreed to let us register our marriage today."

"Today?" Mu Wansheng asked in surprise, completely caught off guard. She did not have the time to prepare herself mentally at all.

"Yes, we'll register our marriage first and I'll prepare for the wedding afterward."

Mu Wansheng returned the passbook to him and said, "I don't feel safe keeping this with me. You'd better keep the money. I'm afraid that I might lose it."

Fan Shixin had no choice but to take it back.

Mrs. Mu initially wanted to see how much money there was. However, she did not manage to do so because Mu Wansheng had quickly folded it in half.

"It's an inauspicious date to get our marriage registered today. It's the 24th of April. Let's do it tomorrow instead."

Fan Shixin agreed, thinking to himself that one day wouldn't matter.

He actually wanted to spend some time with Mu Wansheng alone. However, Mrs. Mu told him that Mu Wansheng would have to run some errands with her. Hence, he had no choice but to leave.

As soon as he left, Mu Wansheng asked, "What errands do I have to run with you?"

"You're getting married soon. Aren't you going to visit the graves of your maternal grandparents and inform them about this? How much money does he have in the bank?"

"Why are you asking about this?"

"I'm not after the money anyway. Why can't I ask?"

Mu Wansheng declined to answer. "This concerns his privacy. I can't tell you."

Seeing how tight-lipped she was, Mrs. Mu had no choice but to prepare the offerings instead of probing further.

Mu Wansheng returned inside her room to get changed. She had to be dressed in dull and simple clothes since she was visiting her elders' graves.

Before she could even close the door, Wu Pingyang barged in angrily.

She did not turn up for Mu Qixing and Luo Xing's wedding. Hence, Mu Wansheng had no idea what she was throwing a tantrum for.

Staring at her, Mu Wansheng questioned, "What are you doing?"

"You've snatched my boyfriend. Are you happy now? Do you feel good?"

"Stop accusing me. You were the one who cheated on Shixin behind his back and yet you still have the cheek to blame me. Wu Pingyang, you're really something, huh?"

"Mu Wansheng, you've long lost your reputation. What do you have? I dated him for such a long time and he has never mentioned marrying me before. We finally started talking about getting married and yet you took him away from me. Who are you to do that?"

Flabbergasted, she retorted, "If you actually fancied Shixin, you wouldn't have made a cuckold out of him. Since you don't care about Shixin at all, why are you taking it out on me? You're so stupid. My reputation may be tarnished and I may have nothing to my name, but at least I won't put on a facade or say one thing and do another. Wu Pingyang, you're an expert at that, aren't you?"

Seemingly having suffered a huge blow, Wu Pingyang barked agitatedly, "Who said I didn't fancy him? I adore him to bits and I want to be together with him."

Mu Wansheng hissed, "You're nuts. Please get out, we can't communicate at all. I don't wish to speak to you either."

She extended an arm and pushed Wu Pingyang out of the room before closing the door.

What is wrong with her?

If she truly fancies Shixin, why would she date other men?

She wouldn't.

She's the one at fault and yet she's still so smug and arrogant. How typical of Wu Pingyang.

Mu Wansheng proceeded to change into a black dress.

She then put on a pair of black stilettos and left with her purse.

Mrs. Mu was already waiting for her inside the car.

Once she got inside the car, Mrs. Mu smiled and said, "There's going to be a good show for us to enjoy."

"What do you mean?"

"Your aunt is going to hit the roof now that Pingyang screwed up her relationship."

Seemingly having guessed something, Mu Wansheng asked, "Did Pingyang break up with her boyfriend?"

"Yeah, it's over between them. He found another girlfriend. Li Chengbin even said that he had known long ago that Pingyang's boyfriend was Shixin and that he didn't plan to stay with her for long. Li Chengbin was just toying her."

"Mother, how did you know all the details?"

"Your grandfather told me."

Mu Wansheng sneered, "That explains why she barged inside my room and began throwing a fit, claiming that she still fancies Shixin and that I had snatched her boyfriend away from her. I was wondering what had gotten into her. Turns out she had broken up with that man. She probably wants to reconcile with Shixin now. She actually put the blame on me. How shameless and ignorant. It's obviously impossible between her and Shixin."
