Chapter 1454 - I Only Want You

Chapter 1454: Great to Have You (14)
Is Mu Qixing having an extramarital affair with Lu Jingrao?

The more she thought about the way that Lu Jingrao was gazing at Mu Qixing, the more she found it to be likely.
After exiting the clinic, Mu Qixing remained silent all the way until they got inside Lu Jingrao’s car. She then handed him the divorce certificate.
Lu Jingrao grabbed it and took a look.
You got a divorce?
he asked.

He’s gone home and his girlfriend is four months pregnant. His parents then allowed us to get a divorce. Are you still willing to be with me?
she asked solemnly.
Lu Jingrao put a hand on her neck and kissed her a few times.
Silly, of course I am. However, I won’t allow you to leave without a single word again. You have no idea how devastated I was. If you returned after I had gotten a new girlfriend, there would be no place for you.

Mu Qixing looked up at him and said,
You’re the one who didn’t give me a sense of security and yet you’re still blaming me.


A sense of security?
He nodded and continued,
Let’s get our marriage certificate tomorrow. Will that be enough?


Are you being serious?


Why would I lie to you?


I’ve already moved my belongings to your place.


You’ve already acted before telling me. Why did you still bother asking if I’m willing to be with you?


If you’re not willing, I’ll bring my luggage away now, lest I become an eyesore.

Lu Jingrao kissed her again deeply and said teasingly,
I think you’re just out to make my life difficult. You’re going to get it from me when we return home.

Mu Qixing smiled and said,
Did you know? My family has always thought that I had been in the countryside all this while. They have no idea that I came to the city to work. Well, if I didn’t work in the city, how could I have met you during my dental appointment?

Lu Jingrao helped her put on the safety belt and drove away.

Thanks for falling for me at first sight. However, I really didn’t have a good impression of you back then because you kept staring at me as if you were going to devour me.

Recalling the scenario back then, Mu Qixing said in amusement,
You didn’t have a good impression of me but I still managed to win your heart in the end.


You’re way too formidable and proactive. I couldn’t help but let you win my heart.


I have to make a trip home this evening. Would you like to come along?
she asked.

Can I tag along?


Didn’t you say that you want to register our marriage tomorrow? Have you changed your mind again?

Lu Jingrao chuckled and said,
Am I such a fickle person? In that case, let’s go home together.


The first thing Wu Pingyang did when she arrived home was to look for her grandfather to tell on Mu Qixing.
Grandpa, I saw Mu Qixing at the hospital today. She was there to look for our Chief Physician. I heard from my colleagues that she used to woo him too.

Mr. Mu asked calmly,
And?


Mu Qixing is already married. If word about her hanging out with a bachelor spreads, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to our family?


Who said that married women can’t have friends of the opposite gender? Besides, Qixing has already gotten a divorce. She’s free to see whoever she wants.

Wu Pingyang stood rooted to the ground in shock.
She’s gotten a divorce!?! Who allowed it? Hasn’t she been married only for a short while?


The Luo family allowed them to get a divorce because Luo Hang’s girlfriend has gotten pregnant.


Grandpa, what about those five million dollars? Did the Luo family ask for it back?
Wu Pingyang asked.

Of course not. They’re the ones who initiated the divorce, not us.


Mu Qixing is really lucky, isn’t she? She managed to help the Mu family earn five million dollars just by being married for a short while. She even got to divorce him successfully and won the heart of our Chief. She’s really something, huh? I really couldn’t tell,
Wu Pingyang quipped.
Upon hearing her remark, Mr. Mu frowned and said,
Look at her and look at yourself. Your mother raised you up and showed you care and concern, yet you turned out to be so incompetent. Qixing was left in the countryside and grew up on her own ever since she was a child. That just means that genetics have a huge part to play. Not only does Qixing resemble her father in terms of looks, her personality is like his as well. Look at yourself. You two really don’t seem like sisters.

Wu Pingyang could not help but say,
Grandpa, don’t be too quick to judge. Didn’t Cousin manage to win Fan Shixin’s heart too? But what happened in the end? Whoever lives the longest is the true winner.

Her words about Mu Wansheng struck a sour note within him.
Do you think that you’ll enjoy longevity, then?


I didn’t say that. I’m just saying that change is inevitable and things don’t always turn out according to plan.

Mrs. Wu entered and said,
Father, I went out for a game of mahjong today and I heard from the people at the mahjong den hat Chief Fan is going to get married soon.


He’s already 31 years old. He’s not getting any younger. It’s only understandable for his parents to be worried. Besides, Wansheng has already passed on, so there’s nothing strange about him finding another partner. Wansheng just isn’t blessed enough. Actually, Pingyang is the one to blame. The thought of it just makes me so infuriated.

Mrs. Wu was peeved as well at the thought of Wu Pingyang ruining her potential marriage.

Chief Fan is such a good catch,
Mrs. Wu said with a sigh.

Mother, did you hear about Mu Qixing’s divorce?
Wu Pingyang asked.
Mrs. Wu said nonchalantly,
I heard about it from your grandfather. Since she’s gotten a divorce, so be it. The Luo family was the one who initiated it anyway. There’s nothing we can do. Besides, we have nothing to lose. It’s just a matter of pride.

Wu Pingyang was filled with disgruntlement. Little did she know, her spirits were about to be dampened further.
In the evening, Mu Qixing returned home with Lu Jingrao.
Wu Pingyang could already guess what was going on the moment she saw them.

Chief, why are you here with her?


To meet her parents, of course. Qixing and I will be getting married tomorrow and Qixing has already agreed to it. I’ve given her the betrothal gifts as well,
said Lu Jingrao.
Wu Pingyang almost choked when she heard his words.
She just got a divorce today and she’s getting married again tomorrow?

Lady Luck is smiling on Mu Qixing, huh?


When did you get together with Qixing?
Mr. Mu asked.

We started dating each other a long time ago, but she left without notice in between. I didn’t know that she belonged to your family and I couldn’t find her. Later on, I ran into her by accident and found out that she had already gotten married. Hence, I waited for her to get a divorce. She told me today that she had gotten a divorce, so I mustered up the courage to come home with her today to meet the parents.

Mr. Mu nodded and asked,
Do you belong to the same department as Pingyang?


Yes, I’m her superior.


Being a doctor is a great profession. Since Qixing has already agreed to it, we’ll have no objections either. You two may get your marriage registered tomorrow.

Mu Qixing said,
Grandpa, we won’t be holding a wedding. We’ve already decided to go on a honeymoon trip instead.


Good idea. Go ahead since you’ve already come to a consensus.

Mu Qixing felt much more at ease after hearing his words.
Wu Pingyang pulled a long face throughout the entire meal. However, no one bothered to ask about her opinions. After all, it was none of her business.
