Chapter 1427 - I Only Want You (1/2)

Mu Wansheng had no idea why, but she simply could not communicate on the same page as her mother. “Mother, money is always the most important to you. To you, money can buy everything, including love. In order to stop me from marrying Zuo Xingwei, you even resorted to breaking my legs. Mother, all you care about is money. Money seems to be more important than me, your daughter.”

“Was I wrong to have opposed your relationship? Didn’t that pauper prove himself to be undeserving of you? That just means I’m right when it comes to judging people.”

Not wishing to argue with her, Mu Wansheng said, “I’m tired. I’m going to go get some rest now.”

“Where are you going? We have to eat dinner together. From tomorrow onwards, we’ll have to start preparing for the wedding. You’ll be getting married in a month’s time.”

She nodded and changed into a fresh set of clothes before exiting with Mrs. Mu.

During dinner, she discovered that Fan Shixin was no longer around. He had clearly left together with Wu Pingyang.

Throughout the entire journey home, Mu Wansheng was constantly distracted, and she would slip in and out of a trance when speaking to Mrs. Mu.

“You seem to be out of sorts the entire day. What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing much, I’m just tired.”

“Why are you tired? You didn’t even do anything.”

“My heart is tired.”

“…”

Upon returning home, she tried to curb her urge to send him a text message. However, she simply could not get him off her mind. Did I fall head-over-heels in love with him just because I got intimate with him once?

She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep at all.

At this very moment, Luo Xing gave her a call.

To her surprise, he said, “My girlfriend is jealous. Help me explain it to her. She said that she’ll only believe it if she hears it from you.”

Mu Wansheng rolled her eyes in annoyance.

“Put her on the line, then.”

Luo Xing passed the call to his girlfriend, who asked, “You and Luo Xing are going to stay out of each other’s private lives even after you get married, aren’t you?”

“Yes. You can continue dating him even after we get married. I won’t meddle with his affairs.”

Luo Xing’s girlfriend seemed to have heaved a sigh of relief. “What if I get pregnant with his child?”

“Get pregnant? You’ll have to ask Luo Xing about that, then. If he’s willing to let you keep the child, then he’ll have to understand that I can give birth to another man’s child too. Everything has to be fair. I’ll have no objections if he agrees,” said Mu Wansheng.

Shocked speechless, Luo Xing’s girlfriend stayed silent for a while before answering, “I’ll ask him about it before calling you again.”

She then ended the call.

Mu Wansheng knew for sure that Luo Xing and his girlfriend would definitely have a tiff over the matter. After all, she had raised a similar request.

Half an hour later, she received a call from Luo Xing again.

“I can let my girlfriend’s child address you as his mother temporarily, but I can’t tolerate you giving birth to another man’s child.”

“Indeed, men and women can never be equal. I’m not interested in yours and your girlfriend’s child. Like I said a long time ago, there must be equality between us. If you can have a girlfriend, I should be allowed to date other men too. If your girlfriend can give birth to your child, I can also give birth to another man’s child. If you want to put an end to this marriage, please tell your parents to call off the engagement. Otherwise, you can dream on about treating me unfairly.”

Luo Xing did not expect the aloof-looking socialite to be as stubborn as a mule.

Things would not have come to this if he could manage to persuade his parents to break off the engagement.

“Let’s talk about this face to face. Are you asleep yet?”

“I’m already lying on the bed. I’m not tired, you may come over.”
