Chapter 1431: I Only Want You (129)
Trying to mimic him, Mu Wansheng answered, “If I didn’t fancy you… why would I sleep with you? Actually, I’ve already started developing feelings for you long ago…” She then looked down and hid her face beneath the blanket.
Noticing that she seemed to get shy very quickly, Fan s.h.i.+xin said, “You don’t seem to be like someone who’s had a boyfriend before. You get shy so easily.”
“So what if I’ve had a boyfriend before? We’ve never done anything intimate. Actually, my ex-boyfriend wanted to get intimate with me several times before. However, I wasn’t willing because I was against the idea of premarital s.e.x. I can’t believe I gave you my virginity when we’re not even married.”
Fan s.h.i.+xin said softly, “It’s all your fault for being so s.e.xy and bold that night…”
Finding him to be extremely charismatic, Mu Wansheng asked, “Do you work out regularly? You’re in such great shape…”
“Of course. I make time to work out every day. I’m not blowing my own trumpet, but even Young Sir doesn’t have a figure as great as mine. He’s too busy to exercise. He only started hitting the gym because Young Madam complained about his lack of abs. However, he returned to his flabby shape after skipping training for a while. Unlike me, he doesn’t work out every day.”
“If Pingyang is already dating you, why did she cheat on you…”
“Your ex-boyfriend had such a great girlfriend like you but why did he still cheat on you and get another woman pregnant? Actually, it’s all the same. Cheaters never win in the end. A leopard never changes its spots. I’m not the one losing out anyway. I’ve never gotten intimate with her.”
“You mean… you didn’t get intimate with Pingyang and neither did I with my ex, that’s why they…”
“I don’t think that’s the case for Wu Pingyang. She’s just acting demure and innocent in front of me. She only allowed me to hold her hand. I actually already wanted to break up with her before I found out about everything that she had done. After spending so much time with her, I still think that we’re not compatible in terms of values and morals. We don’t have much in common to talk about either.”
Mu Wansheng rested her head on his shoulder and interlocked fingers with him.
They remained silent afterward. All of a sudden, a question popped up in her head, and she sprung up from her seat in shock, staring at him with her mouth slightly open.
Noticing her reaction, Fan s.h.i.+xin asked worriedly, “What’s the matter?”
“You pulled out both times that we got intimate, right?” asked Mu Wansheng, who was clueless because Fan s.h.i.+xin was always the one who cleaned up.
Shaking his head, Fan s.h.i.+xin answered, “No.”
Mu Wansheng was dumbfounded. “We didn’t take any contraceptive measures at all. I thought you pulled out! What do we do now?” she exclaimed frantically.
Entirely amused by how fl.u.s.tered she was, Fan s.h.i.+xin tried to comfort her by saying, “If you really get pregnant, we’ll just keep the baby. What are you panicking about?”
After calming herself down, Mu Wansheng nodded and said, “We probably wouldn’t be that unlucky.”
“…”
Fan s.h.i.+xin held her hand and said, “Actually, I really hope that you’d get pregnant. So, from today onwards, let’s not take any contraceptive measures until you get pregnant.”
“You… Why… Are you planning to use the baby to stop Luo Xing from marrying me? Actually, even if I get pregnant, the engagement can’t be broken. Besides, we can’t let the Luo family find out either.”
“I don’t plan to use your pregnancy to stop Luo Xing from marrying you. You’re already 27 years old this year, the perfect age for childbearing. Once you’re over the age of thirty, you’ll become a high-risk expectant mother.”
Mu Wansheng retorted, “Nonsense. It’s the age of thirty-five, not thirty.”
“Well, to me, it’s thirty. Once a woman hits the big three-o, her health can no longer be compared to younger women who are in their twenties. Besides, we must have at least two children. If you get pregnant now, you’ll give birth at 28 years old, and if you deliver via a Cesarean-section, we’ll have to wait another three years before trying for the second baby.”
“…”
Mu Wansheng found his words to have made sense.
“Two is not enough. I want three. I like children. The more, the merrier.”
Mu Wansheng was the only child, and she had spent her childhood alone most of the time. Hence, she often felt lonely and bored. Besides, she had never experienced the warmth of having a family before. Hence, she yearned to have a warm family with more children.
“One or two is fine, but three is too many. It’ll be detrimental to your health.”
“No, I must have three children.”
Fan s.h.i.+xin was speechless.
He had never met someone who was so eager to have children. “Aren’t you afraid that people would tease you and call you a baby-making machine?”
“It’s my life, I don’t care what others say. I really do like children. If we can, let’s have four or five children. Alright, s.h.i.+xin?”
Outrageous!
With so many children, they’d barely have time together.
She continued, “You’re right. It’s the best time to have a child now, but…”
“You don’t have to think about marrying him. I won’t let you marry him. You’re my woman and you’ll give birth to my children. How can I let you become someone else’s wife and let my child acknowledge another man as his father? We still have two weeks left. I’ll definitely make the Luo family give up this marriage,” Fan s.h.i.+xin said firmly.
Gazing at him, Mu Wansheng began to waver. Should I tell him or not?
After much contemplation, she decided to keep it to herself.
However, Fan s.h.i.+xin would find out one way or another.
The following day, he deliberately asked Wu Pingyang out for lunch at a restaurant.
To the joy of Wu Pingyang, he even ordered a bottle of premium liquor. She began chattering non-top after having a few drinks.
Noticing that she was getting rather tipsy, Fan s.h.i.+xin asked, “I heard from others that the Mu and Luo family have a deal together. Is it true?”
He was just making a wild guess.
Yet, he was right.
Resting her face in her hand, Wu Pingyang nodded and answered, “Of course it’s true. My uncle’s company would have gone bankrupt long ago if the Luo family hadn’t pumped in some funds to help him tide over the crisis. The Luo family wanted a socialite daughter-in-law, so they set their sights on Cousin. They had even signed an agreement.”
“What agreement?”
“Unless the Luo family cancels the engagement or initiates a divorce, the Mu family will have no say in the marriage, and if we were to cancel the engagement, we’ll have to compensate them with triple the amount of funds invested for breaching the agreement. I heard from my mother that Luo Xing was strolling on the streets with another woman. Mu Wansheng is going to be treated poorly once she marries him. Hahaha.”
“How much money did the Luo family invest?”
“Ten million dollars. I didn’t expect Mu Wansheng to be worth that much money. Turns out the Luo family is really wealthy. They helped the company tide over the financial crisis that we faced back then.”
