Chapter 1427: I Only Want You (125)
Mu Wansheng had no idea why, but she simply could not communicate on the same page as her mother. “Mother, money is always the most important to you. To you, money can buy everything, including love. In order to stop me from marrying Zuo Xingwei, you even resorted to breaking my legs. Mother, all you care about is money. Money seems to be more important than me, your daughter.”
“Was I wrong to have opposed your relationship? Didn’t that pauper prove himself to be undeserving of you? That just means I’m right when it comes to judging people.”
Not wishing to argue with her, Mu Wansheng said, “I’m tired. I’m going to go get some rest now.”
“Where are you going? We have to eat dinner together. From tomorrow onwards, we’ll have to start preparing for the wedding. You’ll be getting married in a month’s time.”
She nodded and changed into a fresh set of clothes before exiting with Mrs. Mu.
During dinner, she discovered that Fan Shixin was no longer around. He had clearly left together with Wu Pingyang.
Throughout the entire journey home, Mu Wansheng was constantly distracted, and she would slip in and out of a trance when speaking to Mrs. Mu.
“You seem to be out of sorts the entire day. What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing much, I’m just tired.”
“Why are you tired? You didn’t even do anything.”
“My heart is tired.”
“...”
Upon returning home, she tried to curb her urge to send him a text message. However, she simply could not get him off her mind. Did I fall head-over-heels in love with him just because I got intimate with him once?
She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep at all.
At this very moment, Luo Xing gave her a call.
To her surprise, he said, “My girlfriend is jealous. Help me explain it to her. She said that she’ll only believe it if she hears it from you.”
Mu Wansheng rolled her eyes in annoyance.
“Put her on the line, then.”
Luo Xing passed the call to his girlfriend, who asked, “You and Luo Xing are going to stay out of each other’s private lives even after you get married, aren’t you?”
“Yes. You can continue dating him even after we get married. I won’t meddle with his affairs.”
Luo Xing’s girlfriend seemed to have heaved a sigh of relief. “What if I get pregnant with his child?”
“Get pregnant? You’ll have to ask Luo Xing about that, then. If he’s willing to let you keep the child, then he’ll have to understand that I can give birth to another man’s child too. Everything has to be fair. I’ll have no objections if he agrees,” said Mu Wansheng.
Shocked speechless, Luo Xing’s girlfriend stayed silent for a while before answering, “I’ll ask him about it before calling you again.”
She then ended the call.
Mu Wansheng knew for sure that Luo Xing and his girlfriend would definitely have a tiff over the matter. After all, she had raised a similar request.
Half an hour later, she received a call from Luo Xing again.
“I can let my girlfriend’s child address you as his mother temporarily, but I can’t tolerate you giving birth to another man’s child.”
“Indeed, men and women can never be equal. I’m not interested in yours and your girlfriend’s child. Like I said a long time ago, there must be equality between us. If you can have a girlfriend, I should be allowed to date other men too. If your girlfriend can give birth to your child, I can also give birth to another man’s child. If you want to put an end to this marriage, please tell your parents to call off the engagement. Otherwise, you can dream on about treating me unfairly.”
Luo Xing did not expect the aloof-looking socialite to be as stubborn as a mule.
Things would not have come to this if he could manage to persuade his parents to break off the engagement.
“Let’s talk about this face to face. Are you asleep yet?”
“I’m already lying on the bed. I’m not tired, you may come over.”
“Alright.”
Mu Wansheng got out of bed. She could not be bothered to put on any makeup again. After all, she did not care about her fiancé and never wanted to impress him anyway.
Hence, she met him downstairs in her pajamas. Luo Xing remarked in distaste, “You’re really sloppy.”
“There’s no need to dress up for you.” She got inside the car and sat beside him. “Why didn’t you invite your girlfriend to join in the discussion?”
“No need for that. I can decide on my own.”
“What are your plans, then?”
“I can give birth to a child with you if you’d like. We have every right to have a child together.”
Greatly taken aback by his words, she rolled her eyes and said, “Mr. Luo, I hope you can face this issue with a serious attitude. Don’t just patronize me.”
“I’m not patronizing you. I’m being serious.”
Staring at him solemnly, Mu Wansheng said, “That’s impossible. If you want to bear a child with me, you’d have to give up your relationship with your current girlfriend. Forget about this if you can’t give her up. Let’s face this problem calmly and talk things over. We’ve yet to get married right now, and if you really love her, there’s no way you’d have said those things just now. Luo Xing, I’m really doubting if you’re true to your girlfriend. I hope you’ll consider this carefully.”
He said, “I genuinely love her, of course. We’ll do as you say, then. However, I’m only asking that our parents don’t find out. I’m sure you’re well aware of the consequences if they do.”
“I know it better than you do.” She opened the car door and said, “I’m going to bed now. Drive safely.”
She then alighted and closed the car door.
Luo Xing followed suit and got inside the driver’s seat. Just as Mu Wansheng was about to enter, she was stopped in her tracks by a sudden noise.
It was a soft voice.
Yet, it was extremely clear.
She turned around to see where the voice was coming from.
She was greeted with the sight of a figure standing below a tree not too far away from her, a cigarette in hand.
He threw the cigarette butt onto the ground and stepped on it with his foot.
Mu Wansheng stepped forward and asked in astonishment, “Have you been staying here all this while or did you come back again?”
“Make a guess.”
“I’m not guessing.”
He smiled and said, “I came back again. What did he say to you?”
Mu Wansheng said, “Nothing much. Where’s your car?”
“By the entrance of the road in front.”
“It’s already so late, what are you doing here... hurry and go home,” she said, hanging her head low.
“Am I not allowed to miss you? I wanted to see you.”
Surprised to hear his words, Mu Wansheng said, “Chief Fan, it’s impossible between us. I’ll be getting married in a month’s time.”
“Why must you marry him? You know that you don’t have feelings for him at all, so why?”
“I have my own reasons. You don’t have to find out. I did this willingly. Chief Fan, you’re a good man, so from now on...”
She was suddenly unable to continue speaking. If we don’t make a clean break now and continue to keep in touch after I get married, what’s going to become of him?
