Chapter 1432 - I Only Want You (1/2)

Fan Shixin thought to himself, The compensation would amount to 30 million dollars, then.

It is indeed not a small sum.

She probably chose to keep it from me because she finds it to be a hefty sum too.

Indeed, triple of the sum invested is way too much.

However, it wasn’t a tall order for him to make the Luo family break off the engagement out of their own accord.

Wu Pingyang had to report to work at two o’clock in the afternoon. It was currently noontime. He helped her into the car and asked, “Where do I send you to?”

“My grandfather’s home.”

Just what he hoped for.

Wu Pingyang was in a daze throughout the entire journey home. She did not even realize that Fan Shixin was sitting next to her when she answered an incoming call.

“I’m on my way to my grandfather’s home.”

Li Chengbin asked over the phone, “Have you been drinking? Why does your voice sound like that?”

“Yeah, I had a few drinks.”

“I’ll see you tonight, then. I’ll be waiting for you at our usual haunt.”

“Sure, see you tonight,” Wu Pingyang answered before ending the call. She only realized that she was sitting in Fan Shixin’s car when she turned to look at the driver’s seat, after which she instantly sobered up.

She explained awkwardly, “It was my colleague who called to tell me that there’s a gathering this evening.”

“Are you going to attend it?” asked Fan Shixin, who could not be bothered about who she was speaking to at all.

“Yeah, I’ve already made plans with them.”

He kept quiet afterward and alighted from the car together with her when they arrived at the entrance.

Noticing that Wu Pingyang was walking on an unsteady gait, her mother asked, “Have you been drinking?”

“Yeah, we had lunch together and she had a drop too much.”

“Help her into the room, please. Wansheng, tell the cooks to prepare some hangover broth.”

“Sure, Auntie.” Mu Wansheng turned around and headed to the kitchen, not daring to look at Fan Shixin at all.

Fan Shixin helped Wu Pingyang into her bedroom and eased her into a comfortable position on the bed. She then turned over and dozed off.

Shortly after, Mu Wansheng entered with some hangover broth. She would not have bothered to send it to Wu Pingyang’s room if it weren’t for Fan Shixin’s presence there.

As soon as she placed the broth on the table, Fan Shixin closed the door.

“It’s still piping hot. Get her to drink it later. Auntie said that she would still have to go to work later in the afternoon.”

“Okay, I know.” He then hugged her and stared at her gleefully. Mu Wansheng could tell from the way he was looking at her what he was thinking of doing. However, they were in Wu Pingyang’s room and it was impossible to get intimate at all.

She pushed him away gently and mouthed, “I have to go out later.”

He mouthed, “Great, I’ll give you a lift.”

Mu Wansheng agreed with a nod.

Just as he was about to let go of her, he kissed her on her lips, unable to hold his urges back at all. Mu Wansheng frantically patted him on his back in shock and glowered at him before leaving.

In high spirits, Fan Shixin woke Wu Pingyang up and told her to drink the hangover broth.

Still in a daze, Wu Pingyang sat up and drank some hangover broth before falling asleep again. Fan Shixin set an alarm for her before making his way downstairs.

“Shixin, has she drunk the broth yet?”

“Yes, she fell asleep again but I’ve already set an alarm for her.”

Mrs. Wu chuckled and said, “That’s so thoughtful of you. I’ll wake her up again at one o’clock. I’m afraid that she might be late.”

“I’ll be taking my leave now, then.”

“Alright, drive safely.”

“Yes.”

He strode out of the door and got inside his car. He then turned around instinctively to see that she was already sitting on the backseat.

“What are you going to buy?”
