Chapter 1457 - I Only Want You (2/2)

“I… I… I’m alright.”

“Be careful of your own safety.”

Mu Wansheng waited for him to leave before walking Snowman back to the hospital ward.

Although there was a stinging pain in her palm, she did not allow it to bother her at all.

Mu Wansheng handed the money to Tang Yucheng upon returning to the ward.

“Where did you get so much money?”

“I sold my necklace for money. I decided to do it since it could help us tide over the crisis. Rest well. Nothing is more important than your health right now.”

Tang Yucheng was incredibly touched. He knew that the necklace had meant a lot to her because he had witnessed her holding onto it and pondering over something on several occasions. He did not expect her to sell it at all.

After being hospitalized for a week, Tang Yucheng could finally go home.

Tang Yucheng continued to recuperate for a period of time. On the 26th of December, the two of them began shopping for some festive goods.

The New Year would be arriving soon.

Tang Yucheng asked Mu Wansheng what she was craving for, to which she answered, “Pork and celery dumplings.”

Hence, they bought lots of pork, beef, celery, and other vegetables. After much persuasion by Mu Wansheng, he decided to buy a refrigerator too.

However, she turned down his suggestion to buy her a mobile phone because she could not see what was on the screen anyway.

Yet, he decided to go ahead and buy her a mobile phone without her approval, because he felt that it would be much more convenient for her to contact him when he was out of town for work.

There was a speed dial function that allowed her to call his number just by pressing the digit “1” on the number pad.

She could not turn it down since he had already bought it.

What mattered most during a festive season was feeling joyous.

Mu Wansheng and Tang Yucheng spent the whole of New Year’s Eve making some dumplings. She was in charge of stuffing the filling and wrapping the dumplings while Tang Yucheng made the dough skin of the dumplings.

They had made quite a few dumplings in total. In the evening, Tang Yucheng began to cook the dumplings while she helped him start the fire, in spite of his refusal to let her help.

She had a much more enjoyable and pleasant New Year this time, compared to the past New Years that she had spent in the Mu family home. Although they were living a plain and simple life, she did not have any complaints.

Ever since Mu Qixing married Lu Jingrao, the newlyweds had been living blissfully. To her surprise, her in-laws were extremely understanding and kind toward her. They did not have any objections against their decision to get married in a flash. After returning from their honeymoon trip, Mu Qixing and Lu Jingrao proceeded to have dinner with Mu Qixing’s family.

Mrs. Mu made a rare appearance during their reunion dinner.

Wu Pingyang had barely seen her ever since Mu Wansheng met with a mishap. Upon the sight of her, Wu Pingyang gibed, “Second Aunt, you’re finally here. We haven’t seen you in such a long while. Have you been reflecting on your mistakes and mourning over Cousin’s death?”

Mrs. Wu glared at her, hinting for her to stop being a spoilsport. Wu Pingyang pursed her lips and returned to her seat.

Mrs. Mu completely disregarded Wu Pingyang’s snide remark. Remaining calm and composed, she sat down and proceeded with the meal.

Everyone ignored Wu Pingyang as well.

It seemed everyone had forgotten about Mu Wansheng.

Or, perhaps, they just didn’t want to bring up a deceased person.

That was more or less the case.

After dinner, Mu Qixing said, “Auntie.”

Mrs. Mu looked at her and asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”

“I heard that Cousin was supposed to get her marriage registered with her fiancé on the day of the accident. However, she did not manage to do so because you wanted her to accompany you to pay your late parents her respects at their graves. She also did not manage to be rescued because of your intervention. I’ve actually always wanted to tell you this in person, but I haven’t gotten the chance to meet you. I’m very devastated about what happened to Cousin. Although I barely spent any time with her ever since we were children, I know she definitely didn’t expect that her own mother would be the one to cause her death.”
