Chapter 720: I Already Have A Perfect Wife At Home, So There Is No Bed Left For You

Yu Hong scornfully smiled in response to Tang Xiu’s remark. She had been living in Changxi for many years, and even though her Yu Family could not be considered as a top-ranked family here, they were still a mid-ranked one and naturally understood the thoughts of the juniors of these families.

This farce, however, related to the faces of the two families, and even if Ji Mu was full of arrogance, it was highly unlikely he would do anything to shame them both.

In the beginning, she liked Tang Xiu a bit. After all, this guy was the man her good sister had a crush on. But now it seemed like this fella was ignorant about the situation as well as a boaster, simply courting humiliation upon himself.

At the restaurant’s door, Ren Ranran stood there, with a face full of expectation. She was sure Ji Mu would not refuse her. Her good sisters incited and encouraged her to bet on this rugged, dangerous move. She liked Ji Mu a lot, to the point this feeling was carved deep down inside. And yet, she also realized that this guy felt just a bit affection toward her, and had yet to turn into liking, let alone love.

“You know my character, Ji Mu. What I hate the most is to have the Family do some kind of acrobatic for an arranged marriage. But ever since three years ago when you escorted me to the hospital due to my illness, only then did I realize that I liked you. The longer the time passed, the deeper this feeling got. My feeling for you is pure, uncontaminated by our so-called status. I like you even if you have nothing and I will follow you with all my heart, till death do us part. Please promise me… to marry… no, to take me as your wife.”

Ji Mu, however, frowned deeply, and there was anger when he looked at her.

Was the child… she said… anything but only a chip? While she used their statuses to force him under the public witness?

Ji Mu sneered inside, then took out a cigarette and lit it up under everyone’s watchful eyes. He did not wish to hurt Ren Ranran, but he did not want to be forced either. Had it been a couple of days ago, he might have felt pressured due to their statuses and thus promise her. But now…

“I used to think that you were a smart woman, Ranran. At the very least, you did not pester me after what happened between us last time. So much so that I would start liking you if you were to work this out step by step and had exchanges with me just like how you used to. However… what you are doing today is anything but smart. Aren’t you just using my child as a chip to force me? Like you are using our statuses in Changxi?

“I, Ji Mu, am not a man who treats affections and love like a child’s play. If there was really a bond that tied our heart, I would be the one to take the initiative to court you and swear to give a happy life, so you would not need to use this kind of means to coerce me.

“But now…

“I refuse!”

Ren Ranran was stunned and dumbfounded. She had never dreamed that Ji Mu’s reaction would be this intense, so much that the attitude he showed her was like that of… abhorrence.

Is it wrong? Is my love for him a mistake?

I have given you my body to the point that I’m now carrying your child.

*So why? *For what reason he’s ignoring the two families’ faces, even refusing me so heartlessly like this?

Tears like beads were falling down her face as Ren Ranran desperately shook her head. Her hand that held the megaphone was trembling, as she loudly said, “I don’t have the intention to force you, and neither am I threatening you, Ji Mu. What I’m doing today is just because I wanted you to know how much I really love you. For I, Ren Ranran, will do whatever you want even if I must cast away any constraints a woman must have and throw away my honor and reputation just to be with you.”

“Sorry.” Ji Mu indifferently shook his head.

On the second floor’s window.

Yu Hong was tongue-tied and dumbfounded as she watched the drama unfold. However smart her brain was, it simply ceased to work at this moment. Her expression when she turned her head to look at Tang Xiu was full of disbelief.

“How is this possible?” Her voice was trembling.

Tang Xiu only let out a tranquil smile since he had already predicted this result. Had Ji Mu not obtained the cultivation technique from him, he might have no will nor energy to refuse. At the very least, he would try to preserve the Ji and Ren Families’ honor and reputation. But now… even the elders of the Ji Family would not blame him, moreover… they would not dare to blame him.

“Anyways, there are things I need to tend to in this month, so I’m afraid I can’t enjoy the banquet you will hold for a time. But if you do still want to realize your promise, throw the feast for Teacher Han since she has quite a lot of time to spare!”

Yu Hong gaped and looked somewhat awkward and flushed. Recalling as how she despised Tang Xiu when they started the bet, she now felt that it was her that was ludicrous.

“Tang Xiu, you already know Ji Mu, don’t you?” Suddenly, this thought sprung up in Yu Hong’s heart and she suddenly asked.

Tang Xiu himself did not try to hide it as he nodded and said, “I do. We’ve met a couple of times.”

Yu Hong was left without words. Originally, she thought that Tang Xiu was a man who did not know the situation at all, a ridiculous boaster who bragged about things. Never did she expect that this guy turned out to have acquainted himself with that young master Ji. Now it was apparent that he was really confident when he made the bet with her and was not just a braggart! She, on the contrary, foolishly held contempt toward him instead of taking a clear picture of the situation.
