Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go-Chapter 22 - 23 Marry Me After You Graduate
Chapter 22: Chapter 23 Marry Me After You Graduate
"That day, I originally planned to see my granddaughter-in-law, but after your assistant dropped me off at the civil affairs bureau, I waited the whole time without seeing you. When I saw you had gotten your certificate, I felt relieved. After she graduates from university, you must give her a proper wedding," Bao Jiandong extended his wrinkled, not smooth, slightly coarse large hand, gripping Bo Sishen’s strong and powerful hand. "Sishen, promise grandpa, take good care of Nian Nian."
That day Bao Jiandong took Bo Sishen’s car to the civil affairs bureau. Because of that, Mu Shini, standing across the street, mistook the old man Bao Jiandong for her husband.
...
Mu Family.
Mu Shini had just entered the door when she heard a burst of laughter inside the house, completely at odds with her current mood.
"Miss, you’re back? Where did you go last night? Master and Madam were worried about you!" Aunt Zhao, the servant, rushed up as soon as she saw Mu Shini returning.
The people inside, who were laughing and talking, immediately stopped smiling as soon as they saw Mu Shini come back.
Especially Mu Xuerou, who was nestling in Ye Shaochen’s arms like a bird, clinging to his arm. Her face changed instantly upon seeing Mu Shini return, and her heart jumped to her throat.
"Sis, why did you come back? Where did you go last night?" Mu Xuerou stood up, pulling Ye Shaochen with her, looking at Mu Shini provocatively and declaring, "Sis, Shao Chen said that after we graduate, he will marry me!"
Mu Shini’s stomach churned upon hearing this.
After a day and night of struggle, her identity had changed, and there was no need to quarrel with the couple in front of her who worked together in such despicable ways.
She also noticed the awkward atmosphere in the living room, swept her gaze around, and coldly said to Mu Xuerou, "What, are you disappointed that I came back?"
Mu Xuerou tightly grabbed onto Ye Shaochen’s arm, while Ye Shaochen felt somewhat guilty upon seeing Mu Shini. Instinctively, he pulled away Mu Xuerou’s hand from his arm.
After pulling Mu Xuerou away, his gaze fell on Mu Shini. Seeing her act as if nothing had happened, without a trace of grief, anger, or sadness due to him being with Mu Xuerou, it was as if his betrayal meant nothing to her!
"Shini," he called out softly.
Wen Chunlan, who was standing nearby, immediately sensed the unspoken tension among the three and stood up, pulling Mu Shini along as she said, "Shini, come with me to the study, I have something to discuss with you."
Mu Shini followed Wen Chunlan into the study without a word.
Inside the study.
Looking at Mu Shini, Wen Chunlan hadn’t spoken yet when Mu Shini preemptively said, "Aunt Wen, thank you for taking care of me all these years and for not treating me like the stereotypical stepmother in TV dramas. I know I’ve always been a thorn in your side, you worry I will fight with your son and daughter for the family inheritance, but rest assured, I won’t take a cent from the Mu Family."
Wen Chunlan wasn’t the type to lay everything bare, although she appeared respectful and overly caring, she was deeply calculating inside. She wouldn’t be foolish enough to harm an innocent child.
However, Mu Shini wasn’t her biological child, and naturally Wen Chunlan would be wary of her presence, fearing she might threaten the future inheritance of her own son and daughter.
