Chapter 171 I Want to Eat Meat Too
The next day they returned to Jinxi City, and Mu Xingci moved into Yun Wansheng's house.
Yun Wansheng did not stop him, and seemed to be obedient as she sorted out his clothes and hung them in her own closet.
Mu Xingci originally thought that he would make her unhappy if he moved in without her consent, but she did not show any dissatisfaction, which made him feel relieved.
Although this woman no longer resisted him, she never said she forgave him, which made him always nervous, fearing that she would sneak away again one day.
"Wan Sheng, while I am dealing with the Yan clan's affairs, you should also take care of your business here. Once you return to the capital with me, you won't be able to manage the business here properly. After all, this place is too far away from the capital." Mu Xingci tried.
If she doesn't agree to sell the business, it means she still doesn't want to go to the capital with me.
Yun Wansheng seemed to think for a moment after hearing this, then raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "I've suffered a great loss by going to the capital with you. How are you going to compensate me?"
When Mu Xingci saw her peaceful smile and the coquettishness of a little woman, the fondness in his eyes unconsciously deepened.
"When you marry me, I will hand over the reins of the Mu family to you. Is that enough?"
"Do you really want a little girl like me to take charge of your huge Mu family?"
"Of course it's true. I have witnessed your abilities with my own eyes. I believe you can take charge of the entire Mu family."
"You are so confident. You are so confident about things that I am not sure about. Aren't you afraid that I will mess up the management of your Mu family and make you lose face?" Yun Wansheng chuckled.
"Don't be afraid. If you make a mess, just come to me. As for your face, just lose it. I don't care." Mu Xingci said with a smile, and took the woman in his arms.
"You're talking nicely now, but if the time comes, you'll definitely call me stupid."
"No, you're just a bit stubborn, but you're not stupid."
"Okay, stop trying to fool me. I won't fall for it." Yun Wansheng said, trying to push him away.
"So which one do you buy? Tell me?" Mu Xingci lifted the woman's cheek, his charming face with a hint of a naughty smile, and his palm pushed the person closer to himself.
Yun Wansheng blushed at the blatant teasing of this bastard: "Mu Xingci, you are becoming more and more shameless, let go!" She said shyly and angrily, and pushed him away.
"Why are you shy because of what I said?" Mu Xingci smiled harmlessly: "Let me think about what I said wrong."
Seeing that he was pretending to think, Yun Wansheng stepped on him hard, causing him to let go of her in pain: "You are a tasteless man." After cursing, she walked towards the door.
Mu Xingci's eyebrows curved slightly as he watched the woman run away: "You are already an old married couple and you are still so shy. It seems that we should spend more time together in the future."
Around noon, Shangguan Lan arrived. Yun Wansheng happily let him in and asked, "Brother, why are you here so late?"
"Something delayed me." Shangguan Lan responded politely. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the man sitting in the hall. He was slightly startled, then bowed to him and said, "I greet the Regent."
"No need to be polite! You don't have to be polite when there are no outsiders around in the future." Mu Xingci said generously, giving face to the woman next to him.
"Thank you, Regent, for your kindness!" Polite words still have to be said.
Seeing that this man was quite capable, Yun Wansheng smiled more sincerely: "Brother, I asked the kitchen to cook a lot of dishes today. You two can have a good drink later."
"Well! Thank you, little sister." Shangguan Lan said with a gentle smile.
"Brother, why are you so polite to me? Don't talk like that in the future."
"I'm just not used to it!"
"Come to my place for dinner every day from now on, so you'll get used to it." Yun Wansheng invited sincerely.
Shangguan Lan looked at Mu Xingci, who had been silent, and saw that his expression was calm, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Little sister, I will come to see you often when I am not busy."
"That's fine. I'll go to the kitchen and take a look. You guys continue chatting." Yun Wansheng said with a smile, and then went to see if the food was ready.
When Mu Xingci saw the woman leave, he gestured for Shangguan Lan to sit down.
"Shangguan Lan, I've already sent someone to take action on the Yan Clan. Do you want to follow me to the capital to serve as an official, or return to the Yan Clan to succeed the clan leader?"
Shangguan Lan was stunned when he heard this: "Prince Regent, are you really going to marry my little sister?"
"Of course it's true, otherwise why would I ask you to go to the capital? If you go to the capital, Wan Sheng will have a family to rely on.
But you are also a member of the Yan tribe, and you can definitely succeed the next tribe leader, so I will let you choose." Mu Xingci said seriously.
"The Regent King is thinking about my younger sister's future life, so as her eldest brother, I must also consider her more.
"Although I am from the Yan tribe, we were no longer members the day he abandoned my brother and me. So, clan leader, please send someone else!" Shangguan Lan said.
"Since you have made up your mind, I will go all out to deal with those old charlatans of the Yan tribe." A murderous look flashed in Mu Xingci's eyes.
As the two were chatting, Yun Wansheng walked in with a tray, followed by maids and cooks, each carrying food.
"The meal is ready!" Yun Wansheng placed the dishes on the table with a smile on her face, and Shangguan Lan came forward to help.
When Mu Xingci saw it, he also took the initiative to fiddle with it.
Shangguan Lan was shocked by his action.
How much must the Regent love his little sister to condescend to please her so much?
Yun Wansheng glanced at the man who was obviously trying to cheer her up, her eyes darkened slightly, and then she smiled again.
"Alright! Sit down and eat!"
The three of them sat down. Yun Wansheng took the lead and placed a piece of meat in Shangguan Lan's bowl. "Brother, I made this braised beef. Try it."
"Really? Then big brother, you must try it carefully." Shangguan Lan picked up the chopsticks and picked up the piece of meat and started eating.
After tasting it, he nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, the meat is tender and the taste is right, delicious!"
"If it tastes good, eat more." Yun Wansheng picked up another piece for him.
Mu Xingci looked at his woman who only took care of her elder brother and ignored himself, which made his handsome face full of jealousy.
"Wan Sheng, I also want to eat the meat you cook." His tone was full of grievance, and he stretched his bowl in front of the woman. His purpose was obvious.
Yun Wansheng saw that he was shameless enough to ask for meat from her in front of outsiders, and he really threw away his face.
"Okay! I'll take a piece too!" In order to confuse this man so that she can escape smoothly, it doesn't hurt to coax him.
When Mu Xingci saw her pick up some food for him, the smile on his face deepened a little, and then he took a bite.
"It's delicious. Why haven't I seen you make braised beef before?" Mu Xingci asked while eating.
