Chapter 1438 - I Only Want You (1/2)
He could not figure out why his mother would let him marry a random woman but refuse to accept his girlfriend. To him, his girlfriend was a lot better than Mu Qixing
Mother has got such poor taste.
Mu Qixing did not feel uncomfortable or disturbed by his conversation with Xia Banqin at all.
She stared at the bottles of cosmetic products on the table, all of which were from a prestigious brand.
They were part of her dowry.
Her family had bought them for her.
Although she rarely put on makeup, she would often use some cosmetic and skincare products. She was 26 years old yet still very inexperienced.
She decided to try her hand at doing her own makeup. Surprisingly, the effects were not too bad.
Noticing that she had put on some makeup, Luo Xing quipped harshly, “What are you putting on makeup for? You’re not going out anyway. Are you doing it for me? Don’t bother wasting your efforts.”
“No, I’m not putting on makeup for you. Why would I waste my efforts on trying to please you when I know that it’s completely pointless? I’m going out for a job interview later.”
“Mother said that we’re not allowed to leave,” he emphasized.
“Sorry, but Mother only said that you’re not allowed to leave the house. She didn’t ground me.” Mu Qixing could not be bothered by his opinions at all. She stood up and left with her bag.
Luo Xing muttered under his breath in disgruntlement, “No wonder you’re cousins. You’ve all got the same character.”

Mrs. Mu knocked on the door and said, “Wansheng, Chief Fan is here. Your grandpa wants you to go over.”
Mu Wansheng immediately sat up straight and answered, “Coming.”
She leaped up and felt as if she had become a teenager again, full of energy and rigor.
After doing her makeup, Mu Wansheng headed to the living room to see that there were lots of gifts there.
Fan Shixin was sitting on the couch, clad in an immaculate black suit. Upon the sight of her, he smiled.
Mu Wansheng asked, “What are these?”
“Betrothal gifts,” he answered.
“Why are there so many?”
“I got my mother to prepare them. These are just mandatory traditional customs.” He stood up, took out a deposit receipt from his pocket, and handed it to Mu Wansheng. “This one’s for you. Keep it for yourself.”
Mu Wansheng opened it to take a look, only to receive a great shock.
There are so many zeros…
There was a total of more than 40 million dollars.
“Why is there so much money…?”
“Those are all the savings that I had accumulated throughout all these years. I’m giving them to you now.”
Moved to tears, Mu Wansheng said, “Save it for yourself, I don’t want it.”
He insisted, “From now on, we’ll live together and you’ll be my wife. I’ve already gained permission from Grandpa and he agreed to let us register our marriage today.”
“Today?” Mu Wansheng asked in surprise, completely caught off guard. She did not have the time to prepare herself mentally at all.
“Yes, we’ll register our marriage first and I’ll prepare for the wedding afterward.”
Mu Wansheng returned the passbook to him and said, “I don’t feel safe keeping this with me. You’d better keep the money. I’m afraid that I might lose it.”
Fan Shixin had no choice but to take it back.
Mrs. Mu initially wanted to see how much money there was. However, she did not manage to do so because Mu Wansheng had quickly folded it in half.
