The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses Chapter 1423 – I Only Want You

Chapter 1423: I Only Want You (121)

Wu Pingyang put on her usual pretense of being considerate and replied, “It’s okay, I’ll get the chauffeur to send me back later.”

“Help me tell Grandfather that I’ll be taking my leave first.”

“Alright, I’ll go and tell him right now.”

Once his car window had rolled back up, he started the engine and drove the car away.

When Mu Wansheng straightened her body, she wished she could dig a hole for herself to hide in. She didn’t even dare to fix her eyes on him as she stammered in embarrassment, “Sor… ry.”

“What do we do now?”

“Hmm? What do you mean?”

“The place where you leaned on just now is out of control already. Shouldn’t you extinguish the fire that you started?”

Mu Wansheng turned her head out the window as she responded, “I didn’t… mean to… Stop the car at that corner, I’m getting off.”

He did as she said and pulled the car over at the corner ahead. As she was about to get off, he remarked, “Luo Hang isn’t suitable for you. You should call off your marriage with him.”

Mu Wansheng replied instead, “Whether he’s suitable for me is for me to decide. I never thought of living a happy life in the future anyway. This world is huge, how is it possible to meet someone whom I like and who likes me back? Moreover, even if I meet someone I like, does that mean that I’ll be able to grow old with him? Not necessarily.”

Fan Shixin watched as she turned and got off the car, his eyes staring blankly at her.

Mu Wansheng was walking at an exceptionally fast pace, and her mind was in a completely blank state as she walked all the way back to the front gate of her house.

Luo Hang’s car was still parked near the front gate, but he was nowhere to be seen.

When she walked to the entrance of the living room, Mr. Mu’s voice sounded from inside, and he was evidently talking to Wu Pingyang.

“Quickly decide on the marriage details with Shixin, then our family will have two joyous occasions one after another. You shouldn’t be so busy with work all the time, Shixin is very busy every day already. How much money do you make in a month, anyway? You should just spend more time with him.”

“Grandfather, I only have a few days off every month. I can’t free up so much time. Moreover, as a woman, if I have no job and just spend time with him, he’ll be very annoyed…”

“It’s up to you, then. Right, Luo Hang, you’ve bought the engagement rings tonight, right?”

“Yes, I’ve bought them. I’ve also arranged the venue where the engagement ceremony will be held. Everything’s in place.”

“That’s good. Wansheng’s not very good at communicating with people, so you should take the time to talk to her more.”

“I will.”

When Luo Hang was leaving, Mu Wansheng sent him to the door and instructed him in a courteous and formal manner, “Drive safely.”

“Yeah.”

Right after he was gone, Wu Pingyang came out of the house as well.

Her tone was curt as she remarked, “I thought this Luo family is really rich. To think they’re just of middling standard, driving the cheapest BMW model. Such trash.”

“Why didn’t you make such comments in front of Grandfather just now, then? You’re just trying to show off in front of me, huh?”

“I was just trying to save you some face in front of Grandfather. No matter what, aren’t you his granddaughter? A granddaughter that can’t even compare to me. How can you possibly maintain the reputation of our Mu family?”

With that, she left in the car with the chauffeur.

Mu Wansheng stood at the door for a long time before she went back into the house.

….

“Luo Hang’s gone?” Mrs. Mu asked as she looked up at her while holding onto her phone.

“Yes, he’s gone.”

“You should stop putting on a long face. You’re going to get engaged soon, you should look happier. When you become part of the Luo family, you won’t suffer. If you’re still in this family, you may be pushed into a fiery pit, but Luo Hang only has a younger sister so all the estates in his family will go to him. When you get married to him in the future, just stay at home peacefully and enjoy being a wealthy man’s wife. You will have endless blessings to enjoy.”

“He has already said that he won’t break up with his girlfriend.”

Mrs. Mu furrowed her brows before responding, “So what? Even then, he won’t be able to marry that woman. Once a man gets married, his heart will settle down. If the Luo family didn’t inject some funds into our company, it probably would have shut down long ago. If you marry him, it’ll be the best of both worlds. Don’t look at how your aunt throws her weight around. When our family’s company was in trouble, why didn’t she ask that prospective son-in-law for financial help? One look and it’s obvious that Wu Pingyang can’t handle that Fan Shixin at all. She definitely won’t be able to compare to you when the time comes.”

Mu Wansheng could feel her head aching and she stuttered, “I’ll go to bed first.”

“Alright, go and sleep. You’re getting engaged the day after tomorrow, you should get a facial treatment done at the beauty salon tomorrow and change your hairstyle too. Don’t keep having curly hair, it makes you look more mature.”

“I like it,” she replied before heading upstairs without turning back.

After she lay down on the bed, Fan Shixin’s face and the words he had told her actually emerged in her head. She was then reminded of how she had leaned on that part of his body, and she could feel her face on fire all of a sudden.

Mu Wansheng tossed and turned in the bed before lying there flat. She then took out her phone and opened her messages to take a look at the conversation they had tonight.

Her eyes were fixed on the conversation as she looked through it over and over again.

She then closed her eyes shut and felt a sudden urge to cry. Though she had wanted to sleep earlier, she now felt like she was completely in no mood to do so.

Toward this marriage without love, she harbored no fantasies at all.

She had thoroughly given up on love ever since she broke up with Zuo Xingwei.

Without expectations or wishful thinking, one would not get upset. Even if her other half were to hang around with other women every day in the future, she would not feel her heart ache at all.

——

The following day, Mr. and Mrs. Luo came especially with the bridal gifts they had prepared, as well as a manual to decide the auspicious date, so as to discuss the date of the marriage that would take place after the engagement.

Mu Wansheng had a polite smile plastered on her face the whole day, but it was nothing more than just basic courtesy.

Although the Mu family was on the verge of a downfall, it was nonetheless still considered a prominent family.

While Mu Wansheng had an ex-boyfriend before, she was ultimately unmarried and with no children, so she was still considered an eligible daughter of a wealthy famly.

She was exactly the kind of daughter-in-law the Luo family was looking for.

The wedding date was fixed for a month later.

After they have their engagement ceremony the next day, they would get married a month later.

The Luo family abided by most of the traditional customs.

They passed her the gown and shoes for tomorrow’s engagement ceremony.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Mu forcefully brought her to the beauty salon to have some treatment done, as well as to the hair salon to get a new hairstyle.

Her curly hair was straightened and slightly dyed as well. With her hair let down over her shoulders, she looked even prettier than before.

Mrs. Mu was extremely satisfied. Ever since the marriage with the Luo family had been arranged, she had been in a pretty good mood. If everything went smoothly, she would be able to rest assured completely after her daughter got married.

“Mother, I want to take a walk on my own. You can go back by yourself first.”

“Take what walk by yourself? Is the courtyard in our house not big enough for you to walk on? You’re getting engaged tomorrow, you better not create any trouble for me.”

“Alright, I won’t.”

Looking at how she looked rather out of sorts, Mrs. Mu didn’t forcefully try to take her home and went back first. Meanwhile, Mu Wansheng walked on the pedestrian by herself with her bag slung over her shoulder.

She had wanted to just walk on like that to take her mind off things, but she not only failed to do so, she also had new concerns added to her existing ones for no reason.

“Wansheng!” a familiar voice sounded from across the road. Mu Wansheng turned to look and saw Zuo Xingwei, whom she had not seen in a long time. Beside him was a girl, the one she had seen at the hospital to get an abortion. The two had their arms locked, and it was obvious that they were a couple.
