1310 I Only Want You 8 (1/2)
Mu Wansheng smiled and said, ”Chief Fan, you're such a good man, I'm sure Pingyang will recognize and appreciate your qualities.”
”Do you really think I'm a good man?”
”Of course. You're the person who treats me the best in this world.”
Fan Shixin did not expect her to make such an extreme statement. He smiled and teased, ”How about I break up with Pingyang and date you instead?”
Mu Wansheng stared at him in astonishment and said, ”Chief…”
Fan Shixin burst into laughter and said, ”Were you shocked? I was just teasing you.”
Mu Wansheng looked down and said, ”It's getting late. Chief, go back early to get some rest. I'm starting to feel sleepy.”
Fan Shixin stopped laughing and said, ”Okay, goodnight.”
”Goodnight.” Mu Wansheng lay down and switched off the lights.
He closed the door after him.
She reached out to touch her face, only to find that she was burning hot.
She could not help but turn red with embarrassment at the thought of herself taking his joke seriously.
Why didn't I realize that he was just joking?
I'm so stupid.
He's Pingyang's boyfriend and my future cousin-in-law.
A look of dejection formed on Mu Wansheng's face the moment she thought about having to return to the Mu family home once her injuries heal.
After all, she can't possibly hide in his apartment forever. She would still have to go out to work and repay her debts.
The Mu family will definitely find her sooner or later.
She suddenly realized how precious it was to be able to eat and live in peace without having to worry about anything.
She had always yearned to have a heartwarming home.
Hence, she did not mind that her boyfriend was penniless. She was willing to work hard with him to build their future, so long as he was good to her.
Yet, she was now left with nothing.
All her hopes had been dashed.
Mu Wansheng closed her eyes as a teardrop rolled down her cheek.

It was already daybreak by the time An Xiaoning, Henry, Wu Lianzhi, and Xiao Chenyang arrived back in S Nation.
She felt much safer and relieved the moment she stepped foot onto the ground in Wei Ni Estate.
Clearly, she had already treated it as her own home. In fact, it was her home.
After arranging for Xiao Chenyang and Wu Lianzhi to move into the guest rooms, An Xiaoning headed upstairs together with Henry.
As soon as she entered the bathroom, she kicked her shoes off and walked toward the big bed. She thumped herself down onto the soft and fluffy sheets and said in satisfaction, ”Ah, how comfortable.”
”You've already slept for so long. Are you still going to continue sleeping?”
”No, I'm going to remove my makeup, put on a sheet of mask, and lie down to calm my senses. I'm going to start thinking about how to solve the impending issues.”
Henry proceeded to take a shower. By the time he exited the bathroom in a bathrobe, she was already lying on the bed with a mask over her face.
He walked toward her dressing table while wiping his hair dry and began using her skincare products.
An Xiaoning remarked, ”Your complexion is better than mine. Why do you still need to use these products?”
”Am I supposed to wait until I'm old?”
An Xiaoning said, ”You won't grow old. You'll live for a long, long time, so you don't have to worry about that.”
Henry took her words to be a joke. He said, ”If I don't ever grow old, you'll be in trouble. When we're old and gray, you'll be a wrinkled old lady while I'm still young and youthful.”
She glared at him coldly and said, ”You're going to be disappointed, then, because I'm going to be immortal too.”
”What a beautiful dream.”
