Instinctively, Mu Yanfei didn't want to speak to Chi Chengxuan anymore, so she wouldn't hear more from his mouth.
Ever since he told Qi Xinghuan and Mu Zhiqing that she was his wife, he seemed to have treated her much better. At least, he didn't look at her the way he did in the beginning.
Sometimes, her life was so peaceful. Instead, she felt that it was a bit unreal, as if something was wrong.
Her heart had always been brooding over the past, and she didn't know if he had really let it go or not.
"What are you thinking?" he asked, looking at her slightly troubled face.
Mu Yanfei stared at him for a while before making up her mind, "Little uncle, regarding my father's refusal to help your family in the past, you …"
"Stop, you are not allowed to bring up this matter again." He knew what she was going to ask.
It's just that each of them thinks of him too narrowly.
"Are you angry?" Mu Yanfei asked in a low panicked voice.
For some reason, she was very afraid to see him angry, so she liked his amiable appearance. That kind of feeling made her feel very warm and at ease, making her feel as if she had found someone to rely on.
He took her in his arms. "I'm angry now."
She shrank into his embrace, lowering her head, not daring to look up at him. "Then what do you need to do to not be angry?"
"You forgot about that."
When he knelt in front of Mu Hanlin, it should have left a deep impression on many people. Therefore, there were even more rumors that the Mu Family bankruptcy was the result of his manipulation behind the scenes.
What Mu Yanyu didn't know was that when Mu Shi was in a financial predicament, her father, Mu Hanlin, had once gone to find Chi Chengxuan. However, he refused to meet him at that time, and even avoided him for more than a month on a business trip abroad.
What would she think of him if she knew?
He didn't know, but he would keep it from her.
Maybe he didn't want to see her disappointed because of him.
Later, when he thought it through, he came back from abroad thinking that if Mu Hanlin came back to find him, he would definitely meet him, but unfortunately, he was waiting for the news of him committing suicide by jumping off a building.
"Alright, I forgot about them. Please, uncle, forget about them." Mu Yufei raised her head to look at him, her clear eyes contained a gentle smile, as though she was looking at her beloved one.
He lowered his head with a chuckle and kissed her forehead. "You will always stay by my side."
I will be good to you for the rest of my life.
He silently said these words in his heart.
Someday, he thought, she would understand his true intentions.
She lightly nodded her head. Deep down, she was a very traditional girl. Since she had given him everything, she naturally hoped to follow him. After getting along with him for a while, she had gotten used to the feeling of his presence.
Regardless of his initial goal, when she was at her most helpless, it was him who gave her hope and warmed her cold heart.
He took her hand and looked at her thin, clean, white fingers. She was his wife now, and she should be wearing a ring on her finger.
"I'll take you for a walk later."
"But I haven't been walking my dog yet." She didn't want her salary to be deducted by him, otherwise, her tuition for the next semester would be extremely problematic.
"I'll walk you today." He raised his hand and touched her head as if he was touching a dog.
She silently rolled her eyes at him. She wasn't a dog!
I really can't get along with him properly anymore.
"Now go upstairs and change your clothes, little dogdog!"
"…"
He's the dog!
This man was too much of a bully. Earlier, she felt that he was actually pretty good, but in just a few minutes, he had already returned to his original nature.
Mu Yanfei changed her clothes and went out with Chi Chengxuan. Along the way, she slightly pouted her lips, refusing to take the initiative to talk to him. Just thinking of how he called her Little Dogdog made her feel inexplicably angry.
He even said that he was going to walk her. He really didn't understand what kind of bad taste this man, who usually looked so serious, had.
However, he didn't go and coax her because he didn't know how to coax a girl. However, he knew that her anger wouldn't last for too long. Plus, if he gave her a little surprise later on, her anger would definitely dissipate very quickly.
Chi Chengxuan brought Mu Yanfei into a jewelry store, and her gloomy mood was immediately replaced by doubt.
"Little uncle, what did you bring me here for?"
He took her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
Mu Yanyu still didn't understand, perhaps she understood now and just couldn't believe it.
A manager walked out and bowed respectfully to Chi Chengxuan, "Boss Chi, the things you want have been prepared."
"Take it out."
The manager raised his hand to signal the clerk to take the item out.
Not long later, the clerk came out with a pair of platinum rings on a tray.
When Mu Yanyu saw clearly that the ring was inside, she was startled. Was he going to buy her a ring?
Earlier, she only dared to imagine that he wanted to buy her a bracelet, but she didn't expect it to be a ring!
"What do you think of this ring?" Seeing that she was still in a daze, Chi Chengxuan asked for her opinion.
She came back to her senses and nodded. "It's fine."
"If you don't like it, you can order something else." He just wanted to give her what she liked, the best, didn't want her to force herself to accept a ring she didn't like just because she was indulgent.
She was worried that he would really order a special one, so she hurriedly said, "This one is really quite good. It's simple to wear."
"Then this pair." He took out the woman's dress and put it on her, then kept staring at her as if to indicate that she wanted to do something.
At first, Mu Yanfei didn't understand his meaning, but when she inadvertently saw the look the manager shot her, she suddenly understood and nervously picked up the man's ring to help Chi Chengxuan put it on.
"Little uncle, why did you suddenly buy me a ring?" After Chi Chengxuan paid the bill, Mu Yanfei looked at the ring on her ring finger and asked in puzzlement.
Even if she was stupid, she knew that wearing a ring finger meant she was married or engaged.
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Since I've already said that you're my wife, you should act a little more like one, right?"
"I see." A faint feeling of unease arose from the bottom of her heart. It turned out that he was just putting on an act to make her feel more realistic. "Little Uncle, you actually don't need to force yourself on this for me."
"Xuan …"
