Chapter 168 Selfishly Taking It For Oneself
He never expected that what the woman wanted to talk about was the story of their brother and sister recognizing each other. It turned out that she was not from a poor family, but a member of the Yan tribe with a certain status, and she was also the eldest daughter of the tribe.
If nothing had happened to her as a child, she might have become the saint there now.
Seeing that they had almost cried enough, Mu Xingci stepped forward and pulled the woman away from her brother's arms: "Okay, it's a happy thing for you siblings to recognize each other, why are you still crying?" He said softly, wiping the tears from the woman's face with a handkerchief.
Yun Wansheng wanted to take the handkerchief and wipe it herself, but Mu Xingci stopped her: "Don't cry, there are so many happy events today. I will treat you and your brother to a big meal later."
"What does it have to do with you if we recognize each other as siblings? I don't need you to treat me. I have money." Yun Wansheng snatched the handkerchief without appreciating it, wiped the tears from her face, and casually stuffed it back to him.
Now that the poison on this bastard has been cured, it's time for them to go their separate ways: "Brother, I'm going back to Jinxi City first. I'll come find you after you go back, and then we can have a good reunion."
"Uh! Okay!" Shangguan Lan looked at the Regent somewhat puzzled.
What's going on between the two of them? Weren't they just fine just now? Why did his little sister suddenly turn hostile?
Just as Yun Wansheng was about to leave, her arm was grabbed, which made her look at the bastard with cold eyes: "Regent, please let go!" Her tone was as distant as a stranger.
Mu Xingci didn't let her go, but looked at Shangguan Lan: "Go out first, I have something to say to your little sister."
"Lord Regent, my little sister is young and ignorant. If she has done anything offensive, please blame me and I will take the blame for her."
Shangguan Lan was afraid that Yun Wansheng's rudeness just now would be blamed by this man, so she quickly bowed and pleaded, defending her with words.
Yun Wansheng looked at the elder brother she had just met with slightly moist eyes, her eyes full of emotion. It was really good to have a brother who knew how to protect her when something happened.
"Brother! You don't have to beg him, I'll be fine."
"Shangguan Lan, I know she is your sister, but she is also my woman. I love her no less than you do. You'd better go out first." Mu Xingci said with a mocking tone.
Shangguan Lan felt relieved after hearing this: "If you have anything to say, just talk it over and don't get angry." After saying that, he went out.
Seeing the man leave, Yun Wansheng shook off the man's hand and said, "Mu Xingci, I've already told you that once the poison is cured, we can live our own lives. Please don't bother me anymore."
"You did say it, but I didn't agree. Wansheng, I really know I was wrong. You don't have to forgive me now, but you must stay by my side, so that I have a chance to ask for your forgiveness." Mu Xingci looked at her firmly with his handsome face.
"Mu Xingci, you need to understand one thing, the relationship between us is no longer one of forgiveness or not. I have told you long ago that I no longer have any feelings for you between a man and a woman.
"I only cured you of the poison when we first met, and you were poisoned because of me, so I can't stand by and watch you die," Yun Wansheng said, her eyes expressionless.
Mu Xingci looked at the woman who was determined to distance herself from him with a dark look in his eyes: "Yun Wansheng, no matter what your feelings for me are, even if you don't love me, I will never let you go. I will be bound to you for the rest of my life."
"You...you are forcing me! If you dare to use force, I will definitely make your family uneasy and make you a laughing stock in the whole city.
I think you know my temper, and I'm not just saying that." Yun Wansheng warned.
"I do understand your temper, but I still want to see how you make my family so restless." Mu Xingci said with a slight curl of his lips.
Seeing that her threats hadn't frightened him, Yun Wansheng couldn't help but angrily say, "Are you sick? You have plenty of virtuous women to choose from, so why do you always keep harping on a vulgar woman like me?"
"I am sick. I can only see you as my woman. If you don't marry me, I will be a bachelor. It's because of you that I told others that I have a hidden illness. Now it's impossible for me to marry other women." Mu Xingci stroked the woman's cheek with his fingers and said softly.
Yun Wansheng looked into the man's affectionate eyes, her heart stagnating slightly. "But I don't want to marry you, Mu Xingci. You can't be so selfish. If you force me, you will be happy, but I will live in pain."
Hearing this, Mu Xingci pursed his lips and said, "Wansheng, I've told you that I love you. This word of love can make people selflessly dedicate themselves, but it can also make people selfishly possessive. I belong to the latter. Whether you forgive me or not, I will never let go."
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Yun Wansheng knew that it was useless to say anything more: "Okay! You are arrogant, but I also tell you, if you push me too far, I will die in front of you. If you don't believe me, just try it!" After saying this angrily, she pushed him away and went back to her room.
Mu Xingci looked at the wide-open door, then at the tightly closed red wooden door opposite, and said in a low, angry voice, "Yun Wansheng, even if you die, I will bury you in my grave. Don't ever think of getting rid of me in this life."
Yun Wansheng returned to her room, grabbed her backpack and shoulder bag, and then went downstairs. She wanted to tell Shangguan Lan that she was leaving first, but she didn't expect that not only Shangguan Lan was downstairs, but also the bastard she was trying to avoid.
"Brother, I have something to do, so I'll go back first." He ignored the man and only looked at Shangguan Lan.
"Little sister, it's not safe for you to travel alone. Let's go together later." Shangguan Lan looked at Mu Xingci with puzzled eyes.
"No, I'll be careful. Goodbye!" He said and walked out of the inn.
Shangguan Lan was about to chase after her, but Mu Xingci stopped him: "You take the people back later, and I will go with her." After giving the order, he left the inn.
Yun Wansheng left the inn and walked towards the city gate, thinking of renting a carriage there. Anyway, she didn't want to ride in that man's carriage again.
As she walked forward, she suddenly noticed that passers-by were looking behind her intentionally or unintentionally. This made her wonder and she turned around to look. When she saw who was behind her, her face, which was already full of worries, immediately pretended to be indifferent.
"Why are you following me?"
"You are my wife, who else should I follow if not you?" Mu Xingci said with a smile that conveyed affection.
"Stop smiling at me. I've already made things clear to you. Why do you have to keep pestering me?" Yun Wansheng said with a cold face.
"If you don't pester my wife, she will be gone." Mu Xingci walked up to her and naturally held her hand: "Let's go! Let's go back together."
Yun Wansheng saw that he was acting as if nothing had happened and was still being gentle to her, which made her even more angry: "What exactly do you want me to do to let me go? Do you have to make us fall out with each other before you give up?" After saying that, she shook off his hand.
