Chapter 1436 - I Only Want You (2/2)

“No, I have something to tell her.” Mu Wansheng entered the room to see that Mu Qixing was already clad in the wedding gown and shoes that fitted her perfectly.

Upon the sight of her, Mrs. Wu asked, “What are you doing here at such a late hour? You should be sleeping instead.”

“I heard from Mother that I have another cousin so I obviously want to say hello to her. Auntie, if you’re tired, you may go to bed. I reckon Cousin doesn’t want to see you either.”

Mrs. Wu was shocked speechless. She then turned around and left.

Mu Wansheng closed the door and sat on the bed. She then said to her cousin, “My name is Mu Wansheng. I’m your Second Uncle’s daughter. Actually, I was supposed to marry Luo Xing. However, I broke off the engagement last night.”

“Why?” Mu Qixing asked in puzzlement.

“Because there’s already someone whom I fancy and I want to marry the person I genuinely like. Grandpa then got Pingyang to fill in for me. I’m actually here to give you some reminders. Just bear them in mind. That Luo Xing has a girlfriend whom he had been dating for six years. However, Luo Xing’s mother has been opposing their relationship. That’s why they wanted him to marry me. So, don’t expect too much from him after you get married. He probably wouldn’t want to get intimate with you. You should also find someone whom you fancy. Luo Xing will allow it.”

“That’s great. I don’t have much expectations of him anyway. I actually already fancy someone, but he has married another woman,” said Mu Qixing.

Suddenly filled with sympathy, Mu Wansheng said, “That Luo Xing loves his girlfriend so much. It’s only a matter of time before he asks for a divorce. By then, you’ll be entitled to a portion of his assets. The Mu family is actually already struggling and there’s only so much they can give you. You must plan for your own future. Besides, if Luo Xing says that he wants to have a child with you, you mustn’t believe him at all. He’s already planning to have a child with his girlfriend and he’s just afraid that you would do the same. Although there’s a chance he might ask you to bear him a child, it’s still rather unlikely.”

Mu Qixing nodded and said, “Alright, I know what to do. Thank you, Cousin.”

“You don’t have to thank me. I’m just doing what I should.”

“It’s wonderful to be together with the person whom you fancy. It was right of you to fight for your relationship. The chance to marry the person you love is really rare. You’ll be happy.”

“Thank you for your blessings. I believe you’ll be happy too. Adversity will only be temporary.”

….

The skies were still covered in gray clouds in the morning after a rainy night.

Mu Qixing had already changed into the wedding gown and was all dolled up while waiting for the groom to arrive.

She had beautiful features in the first place, and the makeup did nothing except enhance her beauty.

Luo Xing was clearly taken aback when he arrived at the Mu family home to fetch the bride. Although his parents had already informed him beforehand, he still felt uneasy about the sudden change of brides. Fortunately, he did not have feelings for either of them at all and it did not matter who he was getting married to.

Mu Qixing was observing him at the same time that he was scrutinizing her.

She found him to be rather suave and tall.

However, he appeared rather standoffish.

She did not mind it at all. When they got inside the bridal car and sat next to each other, she said, “My cousin has already told me about you. I’m fine with the way you’re going to treat me. From now on, we’ll stay out of each other’s affairs and live harmoniously.”

Luo Xing turned to look at her, surprised to hear that she sounded a lot like Mu Wansheng.

“Good.”

Mu Qixing said, “After we get married, you’re not to meddle with my private affairs, and vice versa. There’s one more thing I need you to know. You can’t stop me from going out to work.”
