Chapter 1432: I Only Want You (130)

Fan Shixin thought to himself, The compensation would amount to 30 million dollars, then.

It is indeed not a small sum.

She probably chose to keep it from me because she finds it to be a hefty sum too.

Indeed, triple of the sum invested is way too much.

However, it wasn’t a tall order for him to make the Luo family break off the engagement out of their own accord.

Wu Pingyang had to report to work at two o’clock in the afternoon. It was currently noontime. He helped her into the car and asked, “Where do I send you to?”

“My grandfather’s home.”

Just what he hoped for.

Wu Pingyang was in a daze throughout the entire journey home. She did not even realize that Fan Shixin was sitting next to her when she answered an incoming call.

“I’m on my way to my grandfather’s home.”

Li Chengbin asked over the phone, “Have you been drinking? Why does your voice sound like that?”

“Yeah, I had a few drinks.”

“I’ll see you tonight, then. I’ll be waiting for you at our usual haunt.”

“Sure, see you tonight,” Wu Pingyang answered before ending the call. She only realized that she was sitting in Fan Shixin’s car when she turned to look at the driver’s seat, after which she instantly sobered up.

She explained awkwardly, “It was my colleague who called to tell me that there’s a gathering this evening.”

“Are you going to attend it?” asked Fan Shixin, who could not be bothered about who she was speaking to at all.

“Yeah, I’ve already made plans with them.”

He kept quiet afterward and alighted from the car together with her when they arrived at the entrance.

Noticing that Wu Pingyang was walking on an unsteady gait, her mother asked, “Have you been drinking?”

“Yeah, we had lunch together and she had a drop too much.”

“Help her into the room, please. Wansheng, tell the cooks to prepare some hangover broth.”

“Sure, Auntie.” Mu Wansheng turned around and headed to the kitchen, not daring to look at Fan Shixin at all.

Fan Shixin helped Wu Pingyang into her bedroom and eased her into a comfortable position on the bed. She then turned over and dozed off.

Shortly after, Mu Wansheng entered with some hangover broth. She would not have bothered to send it to Wu Pingyang’s room if it weren’t for Fan Shixin’s presence there.

As soon as she placed the broth on the table, Fan Shixin closed the door.

“It’s still piping hot. Get her to drink it later. Auntie said that she would still have to go to work later in the afternoon.”

“Okay, I know.” He then hugged her and stared at her gleefully. Mu Wansheng could tell from the way he was looking at her what he was thinking of doing. However, they were in Wu Pingyang’s room and it was impossible to get intimate at all.

She pushed him away gently and mouthed, “I have to go out later.”

He mouthed, “Great, I’ll give you a lift.”

Mu Wansheng agreed with a nod.

Just as he was about to let go of her, he kissed her on her lips, unable to hold his urges back at all. Mu Wansheng frantically patted him on his back in shock and glowered at him before leaving.

In high spirits, Fan Shixin woke Wu Pingyang up and told her to drink the hangover broth.

Still in a daze, Wu Pingyang sat up and drank some hangover broth before falling asleep again. Fan Shixin set an alarm for her before making his way downstairs.

“Shixin, has she drunk the broth yet?”

“Yes, she fell asleep again but I’ve already set an alarm for her.”

Mrs. Wu chuckled and said, “That’s so thoughtful of you. I’ll wake her up again at one o’clock. I’m afraid that she might be late.”

“I’ll be taking my leave now, then.”

“Alright, drive safely.”

“Yes.”

He strode out of the door and got inside his car. He then turned around instinctively to see that she was already sitting on the backseat.

“What are you going to buy?”

“I just wanted to go out to take a breather because I’m too bored at home.”

Fan Shixin suggested, “What’s there to do on the streets? Why don’t we go to Wei Ni Estate?”

“Sure,” she answered softly.

He knew she would agree.

Hence, he headed back to Wei Ni Estate. He pulled over by the corridor and said, “Wait for me upstairs. I’ll be there after I park the car in the garage.”

“Alright.”

She walked toward the corridor while he drove to the garage. He had even prepared some food and drinks.

“Chief, what are you doing with all this food and beverages?”

“Quit asking so many questions and focus on working.”

“...”

Staring at his back view, Xiao Huang scratched his head and said to Xiao Lu, “Chief has been acting strangely for the past two days.”

Stroking his chin, Xiao Tian answered, “I could tell too. He was clearly smitten with his girlfriend a while ago, but for the past two days, he’s been acting like he’s in the honeymoon period of his relationship. However, that shouldn’t be the case since he’s been dating Sis-in-law for such a long time. Why is he acting out of the ordinary lately?”

“Could it be that Chief is having an affair?”

“Don’t let Chief hear you, he might just kill you.”

Xiao Bai walked toward them and said confidently, “Chief will break up with Wu Pingyang soon.”

“How do you know?”

“Of course I know. None of you has any... insider news, unlike me.”

Xiao Bai then turned around and left smugly.

Xiao Lu and Xiao Huang followed closely behind.

“What insider news have you got? Hurry and tell us, won’t you?”

“I promised Chief that I can’t tell you guys.”

His words had managed to pique their curiosity even further.

“Brother Bai, just what else do you know? Stop keeping us in suspense. Just tell us secretly. We definitely won’t tell anyone.”

Grinning widely in joy, Xiao Bai entered the guardroom and said, “I can’t tell you even if you call me ‘Master Bai.’ If I tell you, Chief will definitely know that I was the one who leaked his secret.”

“If you tell us, Chief might beat you up sometime in the future. If you don’t, the two of us will beat the living daylights out of you right now.” Xiao Huang and Xiao Lu looked at each other, after which they held Xiao Bai’s head and legs and removed his shoes before tickling him.

Xiao Bai was distraught and could not breathe at all because of how ticklish it was.

At last, he had no choice but to concede.

Xiao Huang and Xiao Lu were dumbstruck after hearing his words.

After a long while, Xiao Huang remarked, “Oh goodness, Wu Pingyang had made a cuckold out of Chief. And yet he could still stay so calm and composed. It’s little wonder he deserves to be our leader.”

“He should be in low spirits, but why does he seem so happy instead? He must have found a new girlfriend.”

“I think so too.”

“Who did Chief bring those food items out for?”

“No idea. Shall we check the surveillance cameras?”

Xiao Lu immediately proceeded to check the footages, after which he said, “His nuptial home is in the same block as Mr. Ling’s and Missy’s apartment, but they’re not in. Chief clearly returned to his own apartment.”

Xiao Huang pointed his finger and exclaimed confidently, “He must be hiding a woman in his apartment! Let’s check if Chief has gone inside the building.”

Then...

The three of them saw the footage of Mu Wansheng alighting from Fan Shixin’s car and entering the apartment building.

They were utterly shocked.

“Isn’t Ms. Mu already engaged to Luo Xing?”

“Yeah. Why did Chief...”
