The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses Chapter 1428 – I Only Want You

Chapter 1428: I Only Want You (126)

After some thought, she continued, “So don’t contact me ever again from now on. We’ll go back to the way we used to be in the past and never keep in touch again.”

The smile on Fan Shixin’s face vanished. He could not figure out what she was thinking at all.

“Do you really want things to be like this?’

“Yes. So let’s not meet each other again from now on. I’m afraid that you’d jeopardize my wedding. By then, it would be difficult to clear up the mess,” said Mu Wansheng, who felt that it would be better to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble. After all, there was no way to cancel the marriage anymore.

Actually, she was afraid of the dire consequences that would ensue if she were to follow her heart and elope with him.

“What if I refuse to agree?”

Mu Wansheng looked at him and said, “Chief Fan, you’ve always been a mature and sensible man to me. I believe you won’t do anything reckless that will ruin my impression of you.”

Fan Shixin was speechless.

“Since you’ve chosen to do this, I’ll respect your decision. You’re an adult, and you should know what you’re doing. Feel free to call me whenever you change your mind,” he said before turning around to leave.

Mu Wansheng stared at his receding figure and watched him leave.

Mu Wansheng stayed wide awake for the rest of the night. After having her breakfast, she decided to catch up on sleep. At this moment, Mrs. Mu said, “That pauper showed up at our doorstep bright and early in the morning and he’s been pestering us to let him see you. I told the bodyguards to chase him away.”

“Just ignore him.”

“Didn’t you sleep last night? Why are your under-eye circles so dark?’

“Yeah, I had insomnia last night.”

“Hurry and go take a nap, then. You’ll look pale and listless if you don’t get enough sleep. You’ll even look aged in the long run,” Mrs. Mu urged.

“Mother, have you ever loved someone genuinely?”

Greatly taken aback by her words, Mrs. Mu answered, “No. Only young girls would be deceived by the elusive concept of love. I’ve long seen through it all.”

“Why is there a photo of a man in your favorite book, then? I happened to see it when I went to your bedroom previously. You even wrote his name, Zong Jingyi, on the back of the photo. Mother, if you didn’t love him, do you just feel guilty toward him?”

After some thought, Mrs. Mu answered, “That’s just a form of regret, not necessarily love.”

“He’s so handsome. Mother, how did you have the heart to betray him in such a cruel manner?”

Mrs. Mu said, “Is being handsome everything?”

“Yes.”

Mrs. Mu was speechless. After a moment of silence, she said, “I was right about you being a dimwit. What else does that pauper have apart from good looks? Back then, you were so bent on marrying him. You should never become too obsessed with men. All men are the same. Their looks will fade when they’re old. You’ve seen your grandfather’s photos too, haven’t you? He was so dashing in the past, but doesn’t he look average now? Everyone will age and grow old one day.”

Mu Wansheng put down her chopsticks and stood up. “Twenty-seven years ago, Grandpa must have been much more suave than he is now. No wonder he could coerce you into sleeping with him.”

Mrs. Mu snapped, “What nonsense are you spouting!?!”

“The whole world knows about it. Are you sure it’s just nonsense I’m spouting? You’ve long disgraced me.”

Mrs. Mu turned as pale as a sheet, not answering her any further.

Mu Wansheng returned to her room to get some sleep.

Her nap lasted all the way until nighttime.

The first thing she did when she woke up was to fumble about for her mobile phone. She discovered that she did not receive any missed calls or text messages.

Although she had made things clear to him the night before, she still carried some hope.

However, her hopes vanished a few days later.

He had really stopped looking her up. Neither did she hear any news of him breaking up with Wu Pingyang.

One week after the engagement ceremony, it was time for them to have their wedding photoshoot.

Luo Xing arrived at her doorstep bright and early in the morning to pick her up in his car.

He brought her to the wedding photoshoot studio, where he had already made an appointment beforehand.

The studio was rather popular in A City, and the photographer was said to have received several accolades for his impressive work.

He was specially in charge of taking the photographs for them today.

Hence, the photographer was already waiting for them in the store. When they arrived, the store manager handed them a few samples of the wedding gowns and allowed them to take their pick.

Luo Xing did not bother looking at the samples at all and instead allowed her to make the decision.

Hence, Mu Wansheng came to a decision on her own quickly and began changing into the outfits.

The store assistant arranged for her to try on the gowns in the fitting room while Luo Xing proceeded to change into his suit in another fitting room.

During the photoshoot, Luo Xing’s face was stiff and sullen, though Mu Wansheng could still manage to fake a lopsided smile. The two of them kept the same expression throughout the entire shoot, causing the photographer to feel awkward and vexed.

How am I supposed to shoot like this?

I guess I can only do my best.

The outdoor shoot consisted of a scene by the beach.

The wedding photoshoot was extremely exhausting and arduous. After a long day, the sky began to pour as soon as they were done with the shoot.

The photographer was thankful that they had already taken enough photographs.

The sky had already turned dark by the time they returned to the city.

Due to the heavy traffic, they only arrived back at the bridal studio at half-past eight in the evening.

Mu Wansheng was dead beat and famished. Hence, she hurriedly changed out of the wedding gown and headed out for dinner after putting on her own clothes. Within just a few minutes, the lights in the fitting room went out all of a sudden.

Mu Wansheng thought to herself that it must have been a power outage.

She fumbled around for her mobile phone and discovered that there was still some battery. Hence, she used it as a light source to guide herself downstairs.

However, she arrived downstairs to see that the door was closed and that there was not a single soul in sight.

She had been locked inside the store.

The next thing she did was to call Luo Xing.

However, she could not reach him at all.

She would be directed to his voicemail every single time she tried to cal him.

Nothing changed even after more than ten minutes.

Boiling with fury, Mu Wansheng called her mother to tell her that she had been trapped inside the bridal store.

Upon hearing her words, Mrs. Mu flew into a rage and rushed to the store without hesitation together with the bodyguards. Soon, the store manager scurried toward them and apologized while opening the door.

Clearly not going to let the matter rest so easily, Mrs. Mu rebuked, “What have you people got for brains? Forget it if you had failed to let an assistant accompany the bride-to-be while she was changing. You even locked the door without checking if anyone was still inside. What’s wrong with you guys?”

“I’m so, so sorry, Mrs. Mu. I left earlier tonight because I had something to attend to urgently. This was caused by the negligence of our employees. We’re really sorry.”

Noticing that her mother was about to continue, Mu Wansheng interjected and said to the store manager, “I changed out of the gown really quickly because I was hungry. However, the power outage and the closing of the door occurred within just a few minutes. I’m sure this has been premeditated. I hope you’ll give me a satisfactory answer and explanation for this incident.”
