Chapter 1429 - I Only Want You (1/2)

The store manager initially thought that everything would be fine once they apologize. To her surprise, Mu Wansheng did not wish to drop the matter at all. The manager said, “Ms. Mu, it was really just a careless mistake made by our employees. We’ll give you a twenty percent discount on all items in the store. Will that do?”

Mu Wansheng said, “You don’t have to give me a discount. Just get all your employees to apologize to me sincerely.”

A twenty percent discount?

I’m not the one paying for it anyway. I’m not going to bother saving money for Luo Xing.

Noticing how insistent she was, the store manager had no choice but to concede.

She assembled all the employees and made them apologize to Mu Wansheng sincerely. Mu Wansheng left only after accepting the apology.

Instead of getting inside the car, she said to Mrs. Mu, “I’m going to go grab something to eat. You may go home first.”

“Eat at home instead. The food outside is not that hygienic.”

“I want to eat outside food. You may go home first.”

She then left with her purse.

Mrs. Mu stuck her head out of the window and said, “Go home early once you’re done eating, then.”

“Alright.”

She headed inside a noodle restaurant where she ate to her heart’s content. She then tried to call Luo Xing again and finally managed to reach him this time.

“What’s the matter?”

“What’s the matter? I wasn’t expecting you to be extremely enthusiastic during the photoshoot, but you should have at least bothered to check if I had left yet. You left without me. Mind you, I’m your fiancée. I was locked inside the bridal store and you didn’t give a care about that at all. I have nothing else to say to you. We’ll meet again during the wedding.”

She ended the call as soon as she gave him a piece of her mind.

After exiting the noodle restaurant, she then bought a bottle of mineral water that she sipped on while walking.

While she was walking, a car pulled over by the roadside and Wu Pingyang popped her head out of the window next to the passenger’s seat. “Cousin, are you going home? Shixin is sending me home right now. Hop in.”

“Nah, I’ll just hail a taxi.”

“Let’s go home together. If not, Grandpa is going to chide me for not having any manners should he find out. We’re family anyway. Hop in.”

“Since you’ve already said that, it’d be impolite of me to turn you down.” Mu Wansheng then got inside the backseat.

The car began moving off slowly and Wu Pingyang asked, “I heard from my mother that you went for a bridal shoot with your fiancé today. Why didn’t he send you home?”

“I told him to leave without me.”

Wu Pingyang sneered, “Seems like Cousin-in-law really doesn’t understand women. How can he leave just because you told him to? Cousin, have they prepared a nuptial home yet?”

“No idea. I didn’t ask them about it, but they should be in the midst of preparations.”

Mu Wansheng rested her head against the window of the car with her eyes tightly shut.

He pulled up in front of the Mu family home. Wu Pingyang alighted from the car, followed by Mu Wansheng.

This was the first time that they had met again in a few days. Yet, they did not speak to each other at all.

Mu Wansheng and Wu Pingyang were headed to different directions.

As soon as she entered, her mobile phone began to ring.

It was a call from Fan Shixin.

Staring at the caller display, Mu Wansheng resisted the urge to pick up and declined the call immediately.

He stopped trying to call her.

She finally felt a sense of relief. She was afraid that she would act rashly and be unable to control herself.

She would become soft-hearted whenever he made an advancement. Fortunately, he had yet to make any for now.

Ever since then, the frequency of Fan Shixin’s visits to the Mu family home increased. He used to only visit them once in a blue moon and Mu Wansheng would avoid him every single time.

However, there were bound to be times when she won’t be able to hide.

Fan Shixin visited the Mu family home again two weeks before the wedding.

Mr. Mu was thrilled to see him frequently.
