Chapter 1429: I Only Want You (127)
The store manager initially thought that everything would be fine once they apologize. To her surprise, Mu Wansheng did not wish to drop the matter at all. The manager said, “Ms. Mu, it was really just a careless mistake made by our employees. We’ll give you a twenty percent discount on all items in the store. Will that do?”
Mu Wansheng said, “You don’t have to give me a discount. Just get all your employees to apologize to me sincerely.”
A twenty percent discount?
I’m not the one paying for it anyway. I’m not going to bother saving money for Luo Xing.
Noticing how insistent she was, the store manager had no choice but to concede.
She a.s.sembled all the employees and made them apologize to Mu Wansheng sincerely. Mu Wansheng left only after accepting the apology.
Instead of getting inside the car, she said to Mrs. Mu, “I’m going to go grab something to eat. You may go home first.”
“Eat at home instead. The food outside is not that hygienic.”
“I want to eat outside food. You may go home first.”
She then left with her purse.
Mrs. Mu stuck her head out of the window and said, “Go home early once you’re done eating, then.”
“Alright.”
She headed inside a noodle restaurant where she ate to her heart’s content. She then tried to call Luo Xing again and finally managed to reach him this time.
“What’s the matter?”
“What’s the matter? I wasn’t expecting you to be extremely enthusiastic during the photoshoot, but you should have at least bothered to check if I had left yet. You left without me. Mind you, I’m your fiancée. I was locked inside the bridal store and you didn’t give a care about that at all. I have nothing else to say to you. We’ll meet again during the wedding.”
She ended the call as soon as she gave him a piece of her mind.
After exiting the noodle restaurant, she then bought a bottle of mineral water that she sipped on while walking.
While she was walking, a car pulled over by the roadside and Wu Pingyang popped her head out of the window next to the pa.s.senger’s seat. “Cousin, are you going home? s.h.i.+xin is sending me home right now. Hop in.”
“Nah, I’ll just hail a taxi.”
“Let’s go home together. If not, Grandpa is going to chide me for not having any manners should he find out. We’re family anyway. Hop in.”
“Since you’ve already said that, it’d be impolite of me to turn you down.” Mu Wansheng then got inside the backseat.
The car began moving off slowly and Wu Pingyang asked, “I heard from my mother that you went for a bridal shoot with your fiancé today. Why didn’t he send you home?”
“I told him to leave without me.”
Wu Pingyang sneered, “Seems like Cousin-in-law really doesn’t understand women. How can he leave just because you told him to? Cousin, have they prepared a nuptial home yet?”
“No idea. I didn’t ask them about it, but they should be in the midst of preparations.”
Mu Wansheng rested her head against the window of the car with her eyes tightly shut.
He pulled up in front of the Mu family home. Wu Pingyang alighted from the car, followed by Mu Wansheng.
This was the first time that they had met again in a few days. Yet, they did not speak to each other at all.
Mu Wansheng and Wu Pingyang were headed to different directions.
As soon as she entered, her mobile phone began to ring.
It was a call from Fan s.h.i.+xin.
Staring at the caller display, Mu Wansheng resisted the urge to pick up and declined the call immediately.
He stopped trying to call her.
She finally felt a sense of relief. She was afraid that she would act rashly and be unable to control herself.
She would become soft-hearted whenever he made an advancement. Fortunately, he had yet to make any for now.
Ever since then, the frequency of Fan s.h.i.+xin’s visits to the Mu family home increased. He used to only visit them once in a blue moon and Mu Wansheng would avoid him every single time.
However, there were bound to be times when she won’t be able to hide.
Fan s.h.i.+xin visited the Mu family home again two weeks before the wedding.
Mr. Mu was thrilled to see him frequently.
He stayed for lunch.
Mu Wansheng did too, without knowing that he was there.
They then met each other again.
She felt an immediate urge to leave the moment she saw him.
However, reality did not allow her to do so.
She took a seat opposite Fan s.h.i.+xin.
She kept her head hung low throughout in a bid to avoid him. However, she had no idea what Fan s.h.i.+xin had been thinking about for the past few days. He felt that he had made the wrong choice by deciding to respect her decision that night.
He constantly regretted giving her his approval.
However, it was no longer the time to talk about respecting her decisions.
Hence, he had been refraining from calling her because he knew that she would decline his calls. Instead, he tried to look for a chance to meet her face-to-face.
They finally got to see each other today.
During lunch, he bent forward to tie his shoelaces, during which he took the chance to grab Mu Wansheng’s ankle, causing her to quiver. He then got back into his seat, remaining calm and composed.
Mu Wansheng turned as red as a tomato, knowing clearly that he was obviously trying to tease her.
He even did it openly.
She dared not look up at him at all.
After lunch, she hurriedly returned to her own room.
Little did she suspect, he followed her into her room and locked the door from the inside.
At the sight of him, Mu Wansheng turned pale in shock and asked, “Why are you here? Hurry and go outside…”
He walked toward her without uttering a single word. Staring at him blankly, she murmured, “Chief Fan…”
Fan s.h.i.+xin hugged her tightly and said, “No one saw me enter. I just wanted to find a chance to meet you in private and convey my message to you.”
Filled with nervousness, Mu Wansheng said, “Let’s talk outside… it’s not convenient to talk here.”
However, Fan s.h.i.+xin did not wish to go outside from the moment he hugged her.
He lowered his head and planted a kiss on Mu Wansheng’s neck, which sent electrifying chills down her spine. She tried to push him away, only to discover that she seemed to have lost all her energy. She wondered if it was because she simply did not wish to push him away. Hence, she allowed him to hold her waist and continue kissing her all the way from her neck to her lips.
Mu Wansheng lost her rationality the moment their tongues intertwined.
She had been forcing herself to get him off her mind for the past few days.
However, she failed to do so.
She would often think about him after they parted. However, she would always resist the urge to contact him first because she knew that his girlfriend was Wu Pingyang.
She was filled with joy when she found out later on that he was planning to break up with Wu Pingyang.
After getting intimate with him for the very first time that night, she was practically bursting with euphoria.
Although she said that she wanted to make a clean break with him, she actually thought about him and missed him every single day.
It seemed she had finally released all her pent-up emotions.
She thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of getting intimate with him.
There was nothing else she could think of at this moment.
Fan s.h.i.+xin lowered her onto the bed and bent forward to kiss her while removing her pants.
Soon, Mu Wansheng was half-naked.
On the other hand, he had only removed his belt and pushed his trousers down halfway.
Mu Wansheng murmured softly, “Chief Fan…”
He interrupted, “Call me s.h.i.+xin.”
