C44

She threw Little Rascal back into the car and slammed the door, scaring Qiao Mu out of her wits. She rubbed her sore butt, and just as she sat upright and saw the staff member running out with the money, she was overjoyed and hurriedly opened the door to receive him. However, just as her hand touched the door, the car suddenly started moving, and she pitifully leaned against the window, helplessly watching the staff member shake the money in her hand, getting smaller and smaller, until it disappeared.

Qiao Mu was furious. Her chest heaved up and down. She was the kind of person who would pick up a single cent if she had money on the floor. Not to mention the fact that all 91 dollars were gone just like that.

Xi Muqiao's face was gloomy, his five fingers tightly gripping the steering wheel. Damn it, just one minute had just registered for a marriage, and the next minute this little bastard was going to argue with him for ninety-one dollars?

It wasn't that he had no temper. It was just that all of his bad temper was concealed in front of Qiao Mu. However, Qiao Mu's next words made him unable to suppress her anger.

"Take the car back, I want a divorce!"

It had only been ten minutes since the registration and she had already said divorce twice. Such an important matter was repeated over and over again in her mouth like he was playing a child's game. Xi Muqiao could not tolerate it any longer and took advantage of the few seconds of waiting for the red light to take out a stack of cash from his wallet and viciously smash it into the backseat without even turning his head back.

The thick stack of cash first hit the roof of the car, and then, like snow, it fell with a crashing sound, landing on Qiao Mu's face, body, and seat.

Qiao Mu was shocked by Xi Muqiao's actions. With a pale face, she looked at the man's beautiful eyes in the rearview mirror. His dark and gloomy eyes were filled with a frightful and cold anger. She heard the man's low and cold voice.

"It's just money, isn't it? I'll pay as much as you want!"

Qiao Mu's eyes turned painful and she stopped talking. She lowered her head and stared at her fingernails.

It turned out that in Xi Muqiao's heart, he was such a woman who liked money.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xi Muqiao regretted it. He knew that she wasn't the kind of person who worshipped money. He was forced to live a frugal life since he was young, but he wasn't the type to apologize easily.

He did not speak. Qiao Mu did not speak either. The atmosphere seemed to have frozen over. The narrow space instantly turned quiet.

After a while, Qiao Mu raised her eyes and looked at the man in the driver's seat. Her face was expressionless, and her voice was cold and filled with stubbornness.

"So many women, why did you choose me?"

Xi Muqiao raised his gaze to the rearview mirror, a layer of frost covering his face and chest. He clearly did not think this way, but he said it out loud with a cold and cruel tone.

"If I buy you for five million, of course I have to make use of that five million."

"Oh."

Qiao Mu turned her head away and no longer spoke. Looking out the window at the rapidly retreating scenery, she thought that he was treating her well because he had other intentions. She didn't expect that it was just because of the five million that she thought she was being sentimental.

She blinked and her eyes became misty. There was a layer of haze in her heart. Qiao Mu, what are you hoping for? If you don't want someone to give you a bit of warmth, it is as if you have found sunlight.

The car drove steadily on the highway. Qiao Mu slept late last night and woke up early this morning. Not long later, she started to feel drowsy. When she woke up again, she was already lying on her bed.

She got out of bed in her pajamas and walked out of the bedroom. The room was warm and cold, and she sat cross-legged on the sofa, her eyelids raised as she stared into the cold living room.

Glancing at the pajamas on his body, she curled her lips in ridicule. This man still had a conscience, he knew how to change her pajamas.

The tall figure of the man from back then seemed to sway before her eyes. Qiao Mu closed her eyes and took a deep breath. There was still a trace of her cold aura lingering in the air. It had only been a few days, but she had already become so fond of him.

Sheng Shi Bar.

Inside the VIP box, Xi Muqiao downed all of Vogt's alcohol in one gulp and took a long drag on his cigarette. The strong alcohol and the pungent cigarettes caused a burning sensation in his throat and lungs, but Xi Muqiao felt that this kind of pain was enough to quell the anger in his heart.

When the woman next to Ji Ye heard this, she stood up and went to Xi Muqiao's side. She slowly placed her hand on Xi Muqiao's strong, small arm. Her fingertips gently rubbed against it, and with a hint of meaning, she began to slowly slide upwards.

Xi Muqiao flung away the woman's alluring hands with a hint of coldness in his black eyes and a slight pout on his lips.

"Scram!"

"What are you doing? You scared my darling." Ji Su patted the woman's hand to comfort her.

"What's the meaning of saying that? You don't play with women. It's been more than ten years since I've served your little girl like jade. It's been so difficult to get rid of her, and she still has an expression of dissatisfaction. I feel so stifled just by looking at her."

"I'm married."

"Oh." When he finally reacted, he sat up straight and spilled the wine in his glass on his straight trousers, leaving a dark mark. He didn't bother to wipe the wine off as he threw down the cup and looked at the man in front of him, saying in disbelief, "Say it again, what did you do?"

Xi Muqiao slowly put down his wine cup. He took out two red books from his coat and threw them on the table. His eyes were dark and unfathomable.

Nanlin Mo came back to his senses first, glanced at him, and then took the red book from the table. The three golden words were reflected in his eyes — Marriage Certificate.

Ji Ye hurriedly snatched the two blinking red books from Nanlin Mo. He flipped through them again and again. The truth was right in front of him. He cursed at them.

"F * ck, there's no justice to this. Did you step on dog shit or something this year? It has only been a month since you found your little girl and registered to get married.

Xi Muqiao leaned against the sofa and stared blankly at the dark corner of the room. His face was expressionless and he did not say anything.

"Oh, sister-in-law's name is Qiao Mu. Look, how fitting are your two names. Mu Qiao, Qiao Mu, tsk tsk, a match made in heaven."

Ji Ye held the two small red books in front of him and sized them up. His devilishly handsome face was filled with cynicism.

"F * ck, you're so tender, but are you even an adult yet? Mu Qiao, no wonder you didn't want so many enchanting and pure beauties. It's because you like baby teeth!"
