Chapter 1422 - I Only Want You (1/2)

“Not yet. I’ll give my mother a call now.”

….

When the car arrived at the Mu residence, they noticed a BMW parked at the entrance.

When the two got off the car, Wu Pingyang said in scorn, “The cheapest BMW. I see this Luo family is just an ordinary one.”

“What Luo family?” He said, asking the obvious.

“Ah… it’s the Luo family that specializes in making furniture. Their son is my second uncle’s daughter’s boyfriend, and they’ll be getting engaged soon. You have no idea how, because of this union with the Luo family, the wrinkles that have emerged on my second aunt’s face can even trap a fly dead inside them.”

“When are they getting engaged?”

“Within the next few days, I guess, I’m not very sure either. I don’t care about her matters, but this marriage has been in discussion for many months already. My grandfather’s wish is that they’ll get married as soon as possible after their engagement. Shixin, we’ve been together for so long already, don’t tell me we’ll be lagging behind them?”

Fan Shixin’s lips twitched as he replied, “I have made plans for this recently.”

“Really?” Wu Pingyang appeared extremely overjoyed. “If my grandfather hears about this, he’ll be very happy. I have to tell him later.”

He did not make any objection or say a word and simply followed her to the living room.

The elderly Mr. Mu, who had been waiting for them to return, stood up as he saw them. “Shixin and Pingyang are back? It’s good enough that you two are back, what’s with the gift? It’s a waste of money.”

“It’s only right for us to be filial to Grandfather.” There was a faint smile on his face as he replied, and he sat down almost at the same time as Wu Pingyang did.

Mr. Mu was completely elated and asked the servant to put the gift away, then instructed them to serve tea.

“Ah, right. Shixin, let me introduce someone to you. This is my future son-in-law from the Luo family, he’s Luo Hang.”

Fan Shixin cast his gaze to the man seated opposite him. He was well dressed in a suit and indeed had outstanding looks. He stood up and shook hands with Luo Hang.

Afterward, they sat down again. Ever since he’d passed through the door to the living room, he did not cast a single glance at the woman seated beside Luo Hang.

“The day after tomorrow, Luo Hang and Wansheng will be having their engagement ceremony. Shixin, you’ll be attending it, right?”

He laughed and nodded. “Sure. I’m free that day, anyway.”

“That’s good. Since everyone’s around today, let’s eat together.” Mr. Mu then instructed the servants in the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Once he was done instructing them, Wu Pingyang could not help but remark, “Grandfather, Shixin said that he has made plans for our marriage recently.”

“That’s great.”

The elderly Mr. Mu was extremely overjoyed as Fan Shixin had not mentioned anything about marriage all these while, making him rather anxious about it. Now that he was finally making plans for it, he had not waited in vain, at least.

While the men were chatting, Mu Wansheng, who had kept silent all these while, occasionally cast a glance or two at Fan Shixin. After not seeing him for such a long time, she found that he still looked the same and had not changed at all.

He even put on an excellent act. From the moment he entered ’til the time they sat down to eat, he did not show a single hint that they had known each other since long ago.

Not only that, he did not even cast his eyes on her even once.

It was only when they were eating, when she had placed her chopsticks down and was wiping her mouth, that she suddenly felt that someone was looking at her. She then raised her head abruptly and met his gaze, which he had yet to retract.

He did not avoid her gaze and kept his eyes fixed on her. Mu Wansheng did not know why, but she felt from his eyes that he had something to say.

“I’m done eating, I’m going out to take a walk.”

She got up and left the dining area.

It was only when she went out that she took out her phone and sent a message to his number. “I didn’t think I would see you here.”

“It was just a matter of time.”

Mu Wansheng stared blankly at his reply. She understood this better than anyone else. After all, he would be her future cousin-in-law.

They were bound to meet sooner or later at the Mu residence.

While she was deep in thought, another message from him came in.

She lowered her head and checked the contents of the message. “I have something to tell you.”
