Chapter 1423 - I Only Want You (1/2)

Wu Pingyang put on her usual pretense of being considerate and replied, “It’s okay, I’ll get the chauffeur to send me back later.”

“Help me tell Grandfather that I’ll be taking my leave first.”

“Alright, I’ll go and tell him right now.”

Once his car window had rolled back up, he started the engine and drove the car away.

When Mu Wansheng straightened her body, she wished she could dig a hole for herself to hide in. She didn’t even dare to fix her eyes on him as she stammered in embarrassment, “Sor… ry.”

“What do we do now?”

“Hmm? What do you mean?”

“The place where you leaned on just now is out of control already. Shouldn’t you extinguish the fire that you started?”

Mu Wansheng turned her head out the window as she responded, “I didn’t… mean to… Stop the car at that corner, I’m getting off.”

He did as she said and pulled the car over at the corner ahead. As she was about to get off, he remarked, “Luo Hang isn’t suitable for you. You should call off your marriage with him.”

Mu Wansheng replied instead, “Whether he’s suitable for me is for me to decide. I never thought of living a happy life in the future anyway. This world is huge, how is it possible to meet someone whom I like and who likes me back? Moreover, even if I meet someone I like, does that mean that I’ll be able to grow old with him? Not necessarily.”

Fan Shixin watched as she turned and got off the car, his eyes staring blankly at her.

Mu Wansheng was walking at an exceptionally fast pace, and her mind was in a completely blank state as she walked all the way back to the front gate of her house.

Luo Hang’s car was still parked near the front gate, but he was nowhere to be seen.

When she walked to the entrance of the living room, Mr. Mu’s voice sounded from inside, and he was evidently talking to Wu Pingyang.

“Quickly decide on the marriage details with Shixin, then our family will have two joyous occasions one after another. You shouldn’t be so busy with work all the time, Shixin is very busy every day already. How much money do you make in a month, anyway? You should just spend more time with him.”

“Grandfather, I only have a few days off every month. I can’t free up so much time. Moreover, as a woman, if I have no job and just spend time with him, he’ll be very annoyed…”

“It’s up to you, then. Right, Luo Hang, you’ve bought the engagement rings tonight, right?”

“Yes, I’ve bought them. I’ve also arranged the venue where the engagement ceremony will be held. Everything’s in place.”

“That’s good. Wansheng’s not very good at communicating with people, so you should take the time to talk to her more.”

“I will.”

When Luo Hang was leaving, Mu Wansheng sent him to the door and instructed him in a courteous and formal manner, “Drive safely.”

“Yeah.”

Right after he was gone, Wu Pingyang came out of the house as well.

Her tone was curt as she remarked, “I thought this Luo family is really rich. To think they’re just of middling standard, driving the cheapest BMW model. Such trash.”

“Why didn’t you make such comments in front of Grandfather just now, then? You’re just trying to show off in front of me, huh?”

“I was just trying to save you some face in front of Grandfather. No matter what, aren’t you his granddaughter? A granddaughter that can’t even compare to me. How can you possibly maintain the reputation of our Mu family?”

With that, she left in the car with the chauffeur.

Mu Wansheng stood at the door for a long time before she went back into the house.

….

“Luo Hang’s gone?” Mrs. Mu asked as she looked up at her while holding onto her phone.

“Yes, he’s gone.”
