Chapter 1448 - I Only Want You (1/2)

“Don’t brood over it. Have your meal first.”

Mu Qixing nodded and remained silent.

——

“I saw a piece of news on the internet today. I don’t know if I should tell you about it.”

Mu Wansheng looked down and said, “Go ahead.”

Tang Yucheng played the video attached to the news article and placed the mobile phone beside her. “This is the piece of news.”

Mu Wansheng listened attentively to the entertainment news report. “According to some insider tips that we received, Jin Qingyan’s right-hand man, Fan Shixin, has gone through a successful matchmaking session today. His mother had found him a prospective marriage partner named Yang Qianxue. She’s a graduate from a prestigious university abroad. The thirty-year-old is the only daughter of a wealthy family. They’re a match made in heaven…”

Mu Wansheng did not pay attention to the rest of the video. She was not surprised by the news at all.

She knew the day would come sooner or later.

She felt a sudden tension in her chest and found it difficult to breathe, as if her body had forgotten how to do it.

Forget it, it’s better like this.

Given the state I’m in now, I don’t deserve him at all.

I used to be the beautiful Mu Wansheng who had an alluring voice and big, bright eyes.

Yet, I’ve now become hideous and blind. My voice even sounds like nails on a chalkboard.

Seems like I have made the right decision.

If I had rushed to meet him immediately after I regained my consciousness, he’d definitely have insisted on taking responsibility for me. She knew that Fan Shixin would definitely want to look after her, for she had always known that he was a good man.

However, she did not want him to shoulder the burden of taking care of her and become a laughingstock.

She did not wish for others to mock him for having such an ugly wife.

“Great. I hope he’ll be happy. I’d be contented enough to know that he’s doing well,” she said.

Tang Yucheng put his mobile phone away and said, “Good that you’ve gotten over it.”

“Let’s get married.”

Greatly taken aback, Tang Yucheng asked, “What?”

“Didn’t you say… that I could be your wife? I’m willing to marry you.”

Tang Yucheng looked at her and agreed, “Alright.”

“But… I don’t have a household register.”

“I’ll register one for you. It might be difficult, but we must get our marriage registered since you’re my wife.”

Tang Yucheng was an odd-job worker and came from a poor family. He knew that the registration of a household register would require money.

Hence, he sold two of the cows that he reared.

He did not know any big shots at all and hence had to spend a hefty sum on the administration fees for her household register.

Mu Wansheng had to get a personal identification card for her new identity.

When she was having her photo taken at the registration counter, the staff continuously remarked insensitively, “Did you get burned by acid or something? Why has your face become so hideous? It’s terrifying.”

Mu Wansheng sat down and remained silent.

Tang Yucheng retorted, “Have you any idea how beautiful my wife used to be before she suffered the burns? I don’t find her terrifying at all.”

The staff member answered, “I could tell. You must really love her.”

Tang Yucheng suggested that they head home first and settle the registration of their marriage another day, for fear that she would get her feelings hurt again.

However, she refused. “Let’s just get it done today. I don’t want to come out again.”
