He threw Little Rascal back into the car and slammed the car door, scaring Qiao Mu out of his wits. She was overjoyed when she saw the staff member running out with the money. She hurriedly opened the door to receive him, but the moment her hand touched the door, the car suddenly started to move. She leaned pitifully against the window as she watched the staff member shaking the money in his hand.
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.
"Old Bastard, what do you mean? You're the one who dragged me here to register for marriage, not the one who begged you to come here. Now you have to put on an act!"
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 his 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 she 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 he stopped talking. He lowered his head and stared at his 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. She was forced to live a frugal life since she 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 his eyes and looked at the man in the driver's seat. His face was expressionless, and his 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 his 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 road. Qiao Mu slept late last night and woke up early this morning. Not long later, she started to fall asleep. When she woke up again, she was already lying on her bed.
She got up from the bed in her pajamas and walked out of the bedroom. The room was warm, and she didn't feel cold. She sat cross-legged on the sofa and looked into the cold living room with her eyes raised.
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 his 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.
"Aiyo, Mu Qiao, what's wrong with you? You started drinking without saying a word. Is it because your little girl hasn't satisfied you enough that you're covered in fire? Come, come, brother you have some good stuff here. This is all prepared for me, pick it!"
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 meaning do you have? You don't play with women. It's been more than ten years since you've served that little girl and broken the record with great difficulty. You still have an expression of begging dissatisfaction all day long. I feel so stifled just looking at it."
"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.
"I'm married."
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!"
