Chapter 441 - I Have No Desire for Those, I Desire Only You (1/2)

“That’s not possible…” Li Beinian found it hard to believe him. She continued, “Grandpa dotes on me, how could he bear to sell me out…”

Having said that, she looked deeply hurt.

He might be speaking the truth.

Old Master Li normally seemed an agreeable man and had a ready smile for just about everyone.

However, there was only one person that he consistently sang praises of, and that was Mu Xichen.

He often prompted her, that if she didn’t like Mu Donglin, she could consider Mu Xichen, for he wasn’t a bad lad.

However, whenever Li Beinian rejected that idea, Old Master Li would not insist, but the next time and many times after that, he would still sing praises of Mu Xichen.

Hence… it was possible that Grandpa, perhaps, maybe… was only too happy to marry her off to Mu Xichen.

At this thought, she felt terribly heartbroken.

Mu Xichen’s smile broadened. He suddenly asked, “Any idea where my property deed is?”

“Ah?” Li Beinian was taken aback. “What’s the matter?”

They were at a crossroad junction at this point.

Mu Xichen unbuckled his seat belt and reached for the document folder in the backseat. He dropped it on Li Beinian’s lap and instructed, “Have a look at it.”

She threw him a suspicious glance and started to draw out the red booklets in the folder, one at a time.

There were four in all.

She flipped one open and saw that it was the property deed for Qing Shui Fu. She was surprised when she saw the name on it. “Why has it got only my name on it? No one came to me to complete the formalities.”

“It’s ours.”

Hence, there was no need for formalities.

Ours…

Li Beinian was secretly happy to hear that. However, she immediately raised another question. “You’ve transferred the property to my name, but what if I refused to marry you? Wouldn’t that have been a great disadvantage to you, then?”

“No.” The car engine started up again as Mu Xichen said unhurriedly, “I had decided to marry you a long time ago.”
