Chapter 92: Chapter 92 A True Word_1
Su Wanxia didn’t just start blushing; her parents were watching, and he couldn’t tone it down a bit and just eat his food properly?
“Yingchen, managing the Mu Family business for so many years must be tiring, right?” Su Father broke the sowhat awkward atmosphere at the dinner table.
“Not really, I’ve gotten used to it,” Mu Yingchen looked up and replied.
anwhile, when Aunt Liu heard the ntion of the Mu Family, her hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly. The Mu Family? Could it be that Mu Family from C City?
My goodness! No wonder the na Yingchen sounded so familiar to her, yet she just couldn’t recall where she had heard it. Wasn’t this the legendary heir of the Mu Family, Mu Yingchen?
At this thought, Aunt Liu’s hand shook again. She hurriedly gripped her chopsticks tightly, afraid that they might accidentally fall to the ground.
She thought to herself how handso and cultured he was; no wonder he was a young master from a noble family!
Heavens, she was actually sitting at the sa dining table and eating with him; this, this… The more Aunt Liu thought about it, the harder it beca for her to sit still, as if instead of a chair, she was sitting on a branding iron.
But since she had already taken her seat, it wouldn’t be proper for her to leave, so she could only eat her al with a heart full of trepidation.
“Indeed, all these years, you really get used to it,” Su Father repeated sowhat emotionlessly.
“Your company is also doing well, isn’t it?”
“Yes, quite well.”
“If there’s anything you need help with, you can always reach out to .”
At this statent, the few listeners each had their own thoughts.
“Hehe, sure,” Su Father paused, then answered with a chuckle.
In fact, the Su Family hadn’t had any dealings with the Mu Family for six years, although the Mu Famly was a giant in the business world that everyone wanted to climb. But the Su Family had never tried.
So people even gossiped behind their backs, saying that Su Father and Mother Su were clever in their calculations. They never actively brown-nosed the Mu Family, but their daughter had directly captured the heart of the Mu Family CEO. Wasn’t that smarter than the rest?
How could they be so stupid to believe the rumors that Mu Yingchen was indifferent to won? Now soone else had taken the lead, and the rest could only cry and drink the northwest wind.
After dinner, Mu Yingchen stayed a while before saying he needed to head to the office. Wanxia was going to follow her parents to see him off, but he just pulled her into the car when he ntioned it was ti for work.
She was so annoyed. She didn’t want to go to the office today; she wasn’t in the mood for work, okay?
Mu Yingchen, however, ignored her visibly upset expression and simply drove on.
At the intersection, he didn’t turn towards the office but went in another direction.
“Didn’t you say we were going to the office?” Wanxia asked, puzzled.
“Willing to talk to
now?” Mu Yingchen kept his eyes on the road as he teased.
During the al at her house, she had been unwilling to speak to him at all.
Wanxia gave him a glare and said indignantly, “Where are you taking ?”
“Do you want to go to the office?”
“No!”
“Then just obediently follow .”
“I don’t want to follow you at all.”
“Then I’ll follow you.”
Wanxia was in complete disarray—
As Mu Yingchen drove further and further, Wanxia felt sothing was increasingly amiss, yet this spacious road felt strangely familiar.
However, by the ti she truly realized where he was taking her, it was already too late.
In front of her, a grand castle appeared, surrounded by green mountains and blue waters, just like a kingdom out of a fairy tale—ancient and elegant, yet grand and solemn.
Panic flickered in Su Wanxia’s eyes, but afraid that Mu Yingchen would notice sothing, she feigned surprise and asked, “What is this?”
Mu Yingchen turned to look at her and said, “My ho.” He then added, “And your future ho as well.”
At that mont, Wanxia had no desire to banter with him. She glared at him and said sowhat helplessly, “Why did you bring
here? I want to go back!”
“Since I’ve been to your ho, it’s only fair that you co to see mine.”
“There’s no need, let’s just go to the company, alright?” Su Wanxia silently panicked inside.
A faint, indecipherable expression crossed Mu Yingchen’s eyes. As if he hadn’t heard her, he headed straight for the main gate.
The Mu Family’s estate was really large, so large that it made Su Wanxia’s heart race.
Mu Yingchen pressed sothing, and the ornate double doors opened automatically.
“Mu Yingchen, I told you I want to go back.” This ti, Su Wanxia was truly panicked. If she t his mother, she, she—
“Be good, I’m just showing you around to get you familiar with the place,” Mu Yingchen said in a gentle, comforting tone.
Wanxia didn’t dare reveal too much of her emotions, resignedly sitting in the passenger seat, her mind in turmoil, contemplating how to et his mother without letting him realize that she had already t his mother.
The servants all bent at the waist to salute Mu Yingchen’s car passing by, while Wanxia bitterly smiled inside. His world was ultimately too different from hers.
The car finally stopped, and Wanxia sat in the passenger seat. Restless, she made no move to get out. Mu Yingchen opened the car door, ca around to Wanxia’s side, and opened her door, but she still did not budge. Seeing this, Mu Yingchen scooped her out of the car, ignoring her struggle and carried her towards a direction.
The servants’ eyes nearly popped out of their heads in shock. Had they seen wrong? Was that really their young master?
Having spent many years in the Mu Family, they had never seen him treat a woman like this, not even the Miss Bai who currently lived in the Mu Family estate; he was always cool and indifferent towards her.
“Mu Yingchen, put
down. I can walk by myself,” Su Wanxia protested, her anxiety and turmoil heightened by Mu Yingchen’s forceful embrace.
How could he do this, especially in his own ho with so many people watching? If he didn’t mind the scrutiny, would she be alright?
What would his mother think if she heard about this?
“That night, you clearly said you wouldn’t force
to do anything ever again,” Wanxia spoke out loudly in her panic.
Mu Yingchen suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“Do the words you said that night still count?” Her voice sounded ethereal.
That night’s events had gone unntioned by them both, an unspoken agreent of sorts in recent tis.
For Mu Yingchen, the events of that night were an unspeakable tornt.
His arms loosened slightly, and Wanxia took the opportunity to jump down.
Mu Yingchen suddenly grabbed her arm, the desolation and defeat in his eyes giving him a sowhat lancholic look.
“I just want one sentence, one honest sentence,” Mu Yingchen said with a heavy tone, looking at Su Wanxia.
Wanxia looked up at him, not uttering a word, her gaze accidentally catching sight of the low, ornate castle behind Mu Yingchen.
At that window, stood a person.
“Have you ever thought about marrying …” Mu Yingchen’s voice reached her ears, stabbing her heart like a needle.
She felt as if she could see that person staring at her intensely, with such a cold gaze.
With a bitter self-mockery inside, she then t Mu Yingchen’s black eyes, which always seed to srize her.
“Answer !”
“No!” she responded faintly, following the sound of Mu Yingchen’s voice.
