Chapter 441: I Have No Desire for Those, I Desire Only You
“That’s not possible…” Li Beinian found it hard to believe him. She continued, “Grandpa dotes on me, how could he bear to sell me out…”
Having said that, she looked deeply hurt.
He might be speaking the truth.
Old Master Li normally seemed an agreeable man and had a ready smile for just about everyone.
However, there was only one person that he consistently sang praises of, and that was Mu Xichen.
He often prompted her, that if she didn’t like Mu Donglin, she could consider Mu Xichen, for he wasn’t a bad lad.
However, whenever Li Beinian rejected that idea, Old Master Li would not insist, but the next time and many times after that, he would still sing praises of Mu Xichen.
Hence… it was possible that Grandpa, perhaps, maybe… was only too happy to marry her off to Mu Xichen.
At this thought, she felt terribly heartbroken.
Mu Xichen’s smile broadened. He suddenly asked, “Any idea where my property deed is?”
“Ah?” Li Beinian was taken aback. “What’s the matter?”
They were at a crossroad junction at this point.
Mu Xichen unbuckled his seat belt and reached for the document folder in the backseat. He dropped it on Li Beinian’s lap and instructed, “Have a look at it.”
She threw him a suspicious glance and started to draw out the red booklets in the folder, one at a time.
There were four in all.
She flipped one open and saw that it was the property deed for Qing Shui Fu. She was surprised when she saw the name on it. “Why has it got only my name on it? No one came to me to complete the formalities.”
“It’s ours.”
Hence, there was no need for formalities.
Ours…
Li Beinian was secretly happy to hear that. However, she immediately raised another question. “You’ve transferred the property to my name, but what if I refused to marry you? Wouldn’t that have been a great disadvantage to you, then?”
“No.” The car engine started up again as Mu Xichen said unhurriedly, “I had decided to marry you a long time ago.”
Her heart skipped a beat. All of a sudden, she was inundated with a flood of emotions.
Blushing slightly, she looked again at the name on the document and said disdainfully, “What do you mean? What if I refused? Nothing had been agreed before you made such a costly move. Are you in your right mind?”
Mu Xichen laughed. Reaching out to give her head a little push, he said, “You’ve gained an advantage from this, so stop pretending otherwise.”
“It’s true,” she protested boldly. “Who on earth would do something like this? You’re lucky enough to have me. If this had happened to some other woman, she’d have run away with all these documents and not married you. We’ll see who ends up crying, then.”
Mu Xichen couldn’t agree more. He nodded and said, “You’re right.”
Li Beinian snapped the booklet shut upon hearing this. She picked up the next booklet, but before she could flip it open, she heard him remarking, “Thank god I only have one woman.”
His prim and proper tone made her smile.
She looked at the booklet she was holding. It was a Real Estate Certificate.
It was for the property in Tai Chen Prefecture, and it had Mu Xichen’s name on it.
The property was huge, covering over 500 meters.
She clucked her tongue secretly, trying to imagine the size, feeling anxious.
Mu Xichen glanced at her and informed her casually, “You’re a joint owner for this property.”
“What?” Li Beinian said in disbelief. “Are you nuts? The property in Tai Chen Prefecture is so expensive, and you’re giving me half of it…”
That was a lot of money…
What the hell!
Li Beinian finally understood the silliness of what she had done this morning. “No wonder you were so bent on capturing me. After all that, you can’t care less about those things I’d left behind!”
She finally saw the light and became livid. “That was everything I had!”
Mu Xichen pulled to a stop right in front of a magnificently exquisite building facade.
He turned slightly to glance at her, then released his seat belt and leaned towards her.
He reached out to release her seatbelt as well, his arm following the retracting strap to swing over the front of her body.
The distance between them closed. Mu Xichen stared at her, his eyes deep like the ocean, as he unhurriedly said, “I have no desire for those, I desire only you.”
