Chapter 1468 - Great to Have You (28) (1/2)

Mu Wansheng said softly, “I just feel that I’m no longer worthy enough to be with you.”

Fan Shixin questioned angrily, “Who said you could take matters into your own hands and jump to conclusions? It’s not for you to decide if you’re worthy enough or not.”

Mu Wansheng could tell how angry he was. However, she had long made her mind up not to return to his side. Hence, nothing he said would work anymore.

“Yes, but I don’t think I’m worthy.”

Fan Shixin felt that she was completely different from the old Mu Wansheng who used to get shy easily.

She sounded cold and aloof.

She was obstinate and as stubborn as a mule.

However, she was still the woman he had been missing dearly.

Fan Shixin said with tears in his eyes, “Wansheng, regardless of what you become, I’ll never despise you. Your husband is the man who had saved you, isn’t he? We can make it up to him in other ways. You don’t necessarily have to give yourself to him.”

“Stop trying to persuade me any further. I don’t want my life to be jeopardized. Please just leave. I think we’re just not destined to be together. He’s a good man. He may have lost his legs but he treats me very well. I’m his wife now. The relationship that you and I had is now a thing of the past.”

Fan Shixin said sternly, “You can take charge of any decision except this. There’s no bargaining for this! He may be a good man but does that make me a jerk? You don’t want to hurt him but does that mean you can hurt me? Does he treat you very well? I still remember what you said at the hospital back then. I still remember how miserable you looked when you were crying on the bench outside the ward. Wansheng, don’t bother lying to me.”

“He was just acting out of the ordinary because he had suffered a huge mental blow. He’s gotten better after he was discharged. Everything has been well so far.”

“But I love you, Wansheng.”

Mu Wansheng cocked her head toward the side and said, “I don’t love you anymore.”

“You’re lying.”

“I’m not.”

“Why don’t you say it to my face, then? Why did you look away?” Fan Shixin grabbed her and said, “Come back with me.”

“No.” Mu Wansheng tried to push him away forcefully. “Could you please respect my decision!?!”

Fan Shixin accidentally placed his hand onto the stove. Although he retracted his hand as quickly as he could, he was still scalded.

Sensing that something was amiss, Mu Wansheng asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I placed my hand onto the stove.”

Mu Wansheng was infuriated yet flustered and worried for him at the same time. She hurriedly brought some white wine over for him to rinse his hands with. Fan Shixin felt rather relieved upon seeing how worried she was.

There was some medicated cream in the bedroom. She applied it onto his hand and bandaged it. “This is just a simple dressing. You’ll have to go to the hospital to get it cleaned properly.”

“No.”

“Suit yourself, then.” She stood up and continued, “Please leave. My husband will be back soon. It won’t be appropriate if he sees you.”

He grabbed her wrist with his uninjured hand and pulled her onto his lap. She tried to struggle to break free with all her might, to no avail. She knew how strong he was.

“Fan Shixin!”

He wrapped his arms around her and said, “Wansheng, why did you make those decisions without seeking my opinion?”

Mu Wansheng remained silent, filled with a mix of emotions. It had never crossed her mind that he would ever show up at her doorstep.
