Chapter 1433: I Only Want You (131)
“Stop making wild guesses. Maybe he’s not in a relationship with her.”
“Yeah, Ms. Mu had once lived in Chief’s apartment for an extended period of time too.”
“We’ll find out what’s going on after asking Chief about it when he comes back later.”
Unable to tolerate it anymore, Xiao Bai chided, “Go ahead and ask Chief if you’d like to see him skin me alive.”
The two of them chuckled and said, “We’re looking forward to seeing that. It’ll definitely be very interesting.”
Xiao Bai snapped, “You’re going to get it from me!”
“...”

Fan Shixin entered to see that Mu Wansheng was sitting on the bed and watching some television. He placed the items onto the table and handed her some fruit juice. “Have some.”
She grabbed it and took a few sips with a straw. “Was it freshly squeezed?”
“Of course. All the juice here is freshly squeezed.”
Noticing that he was constantly staring at her, Mu Wansheng asked shyly, “Why do you keep looking at me?”
“Because you’re beautiful.”
As soon as she placed the glass of juice onto the table, he hugged her and said, “I think I’m addicted to you. I can’t stop thinking about you.”
“Me too.”
“Pack your belongings and move here in a couple of days.”
Mu Wansheng shook her head and refused. “I can’t.”
“Why not?”
“I can’t stay here every day, they’ll find out.”
“I mean, just move your belongings here. You don’t have to come over every single day. This will be our home from now on. Strangely, this is my nuptial home but you’re the only woman who has ever stayed here. Even my mother has never lived here before. Seems like it’s really meant for you.”
“Hasn’t Pingyang been here before?” Mu Wansheng asked, feeling a little glad to hear that she was the only woman whom he had brought home.
“She did ask me to bring her here but I’ve never done so before.”
Mu Wansheng turned to hold his gaze and initiated a kiss. She then draped her arms around his neck and leaned forward slightly to move closer to him.
He pressed his hand on the back of her head gently and began kissing her with zealous passion.
That was always the case for couples who were in the midst of their honeymoon phase. They tend to yearn for each other’s company and wish that they would be inseparable.
They tried a few different positions, all of which made Mu Wansheng feel shy and embarrassed. However, she still reciprocated and went along with him. In fact, she enjoyed herself too.
She felt that she could derive joy from just being around him, even if they weren’t speaking to each other.
She could not contain her happiness at all.
She wished the moment would last forever.
She wished that she could lead a stable and comfortable life with Fan Shixin and build a loving family of their own with a few children.
However, that ideal life only existed in her imagination.
In reality, it was difficult to make the haughty and prideful Luo family compromise and concede.
It would be rather inappropriate for Fan Shixin to handle this matter personally. Hence, he decided to seek Jin Qingyan’s opinion. However, before he even did so, he was summoned by Jin Qingyan.
“I heard from Xiao Huang and the rest yesterday that you’re dating Ms. Mu. Is that true?”
While keeping a smile on his face, Fan Shixin thought to himself, I must teach all of them a lesson.
“Yes, Young Sir, but I must clarify that the relationship between Ms. Mu and Mr. Luo is a little complicated. So is mine and Wu Pingyang’s. It’s a long story, I’ll have to explain it to you in detail.”
Leaning back against the couch, Jin Qingyan said, “I’m all ears, shoot.”
“So what happened was...” Fan Shixin explained everything to him in detail, after which he said, “Young Sir, this concerns my lifelong happiness. You must help me out.”
Jin Qingyan stared at him from the side and said, “That’s actually no big deal. Since there’s a contract, it just means that the Mu family is practically selling Mu Wansheng off to the Luo family without sparing a single thought for her happiness. The Luo family holds the power to amend the contract terms anyway. Secondly, if they were to pay a compensatory sum to the Luo family, wouldn’t that just benefit them? They’d get to earn 20 million dollars for no rhyme or reason. Hence, there are only two solutions at hand now. One is to pay the compensatory sum and the other is to steal the contract. Which one do you think is a better solution?”
“From what I know about you, you’re probably going to support the second solution. Young Sir, what would you do if you were in my shoes?”
“If I were in your shoes...” After some thought, he answered, “The Luo family probably can’t afford to compensate me for the time and effort I wasted on them.”
“...”
“I’ll talk to the Luo family for you regarding this matter. However, you should make things clear to Wu Pingyang and the Mu family today. Don’t drag it on any longer.”
“Yes, I do intend to do that too.”
Fan Shixin felt as if a rock had been lifted off his chest completely. He was certain that Jin Qingyan would be able to resolve the issue.
He gave Wu Pingyang a call and informed her that he would be making an important announcement at the Mu family home at night and that he wanted her to be at home.
Wu Pingyang thought that he would be proposing to her and, hence, she agreed excitedly.
Little did she know what awaited her.
——
During the evening, it began pouring heavily in A City.
The air became much chillier.
Fan Shixin arrived at the Mu family home, clad in a windbreaker. He discovered that there were two other cars parked by the entrance.
He alighted from the car with an umbrella in hand, and the guards at the door greeted, “Hello, Chief Fan.”
“Yes.”
Fan Shixin overheard the sounds of men chatting when he approached the living room. He stuck his head inside to see that the Luo family members had arrived, including Luo Xing’s parents.
The sky was already turning dark when I was telling Young Sir about this, so Young Sir probably hasn’t arrived yet.
Why are the Luo family members here all of a sudden?
Fan Shixin walked into the living room.
Upon the sight of Fan Shixin, the elderly Mr. Mu greeted with a smile, “You’re here, Shixin. Hurry and have a seat.”
Fan Shixin nodded and sat down.
He was filled with an ominous feeling when he noticed that Mu Wansheng seemed to be out of sorts.
Indeed, a sullen expression formed on Fan Shixin’s face the moment he heard Mr. Mu’s next words.
“That goes without saying. Since you’re afraid that the senior Madam can’t make it ’til the wedding, we can hold it tomorrow instead. We’ll have no objections. You’ve already prepared the wedding anyway.”
Mr. Luo said, “Good that you have no objections. It’s settled, then. We’ll be taking our leave now.”
“Alright, goodbye.”
The Luo family left together.
Fan Shixin hurriedly sent Jin Qingyan a text message to describe the situation to him briefly.
