Chapter 169 A Man's Sweet Talk
Mu Xingci's eyes were still warm and gentle: "Wan Sheng, no matter how you treat me, I will never break up with you. I just want to be nice to you and let you accept me slowly."
"Mu Xingci, it's impossible for us to be together. Your world is not what I want. What I want is a free and easy life. Your status is destined to not give me that. So, it's better for us to forget each other."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci looked at her with a slight pause in his gaze. Thinking about the large family and things in his own house, it would be difficult for a woman with her personality to fit in.
"I... I can build a new house for you and move out. I won't stop you if you want to do business." His tone no longer had the firmness it had before.
"Do you think this is realistic? Your Mu Family Army has achieved its current status through unity and mutual assistance, which makes others dare not underestimate it.
If you move out of your house for a woman today, it will create rifts between you and the Mu family. Then I will become the sinner of your Mu family.
"After a while, you'll blame me. I can see the end of this, and I will never let myself become a bore to everyone." Yun Wansheng chuckled.
Mu Xingci looked at her with deep eyes: "Wan Sheng, the annoying thing about you is that you are too clear-headed.
You are right. The Mu family cannot become a scattered group. I, the regent, am their backbone. If I move to another place, they will surely be dissatisfied with me, and it will also give those who dislike me an opportunity to take advantage of me.
My words just now were not well thought out. You can see the essence of the matter clearly. Wan Sheng, don’t you think you are very suitable to be my princess? Although you have a bad temper, you are capable of managing the Mu family well. I still believe in you. "
"You'd better give up! The threshold of your family is too high. I, a commoner girl, can't step over it. I advise you to give up the idea of marrying me. Don't follow me anymore." After saying that, Yun Wansheng turned around and continued walking.
But after walking for a while, she turned back and glared at the man she couldn't shake off: "I've already told you clearly that our identities are not compatible, why are you still following me?"
"You said we are not suitable, but I think we are quite suitable." Mu Xingci said with a smile.
"What a fit! Go back quickly and don't follow me." Yun Wansheng cursed angrily.
"Wan Sheng, I will follow you for the rest of my life, so don't even think about getting rid of me." Mu Xingci walked up to the woman and said.
Yun Wansheng glared at the man in front of her with an annoyed look, then pulled out a pistol and pointed it at her temples: "If you continue to pester me, I will die in front of you immediately."
Seeing her like this, Mu Xingci's expression remained unchanged: "Wansheng, believe it or not, as long as you die, I will immediately follow you. So, I am not afraid of your death, because I am ready to accompany you through life and death."
"No one would believe what you say. I don't believe that you can give up such a good life and commit suicide for a woman?" Yun Wansheng sneered a few times.
"Wan Sheng, to outsiders, I do seem to be living a life of luxury, but who knows what it's like to be so lonely at the top? Especially for someone like me who has fought for so many years and seen life and death, status is nothing more than a burden of responsibility.
If you were by my side, I might continue to uphold this responsibility, but if you were no longer in this world, why should I make my life so difficult?
Instead of that, it would be better for me to be a leisurely couple with you underground, which would be more comfortable." Mu Xingci's eyes were deep, and his tone was gentle and affectionate.
After hearing what he said, Yun Wansheng was stunned and didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only curse: "You are simply a lunatic!"
After cursing, she put the gun back. She didn't really want to die, she just wanted to threaten him. Unexpectedly, not only did she fail to threaten him, but he also said a bunch of sweet words that gave her goosebumps, which made her very angry.
When Mu Xingci saw her put away the gun, a smile of success appeared on the corner of his lips. This woman was so strong that she would not die for him!
Seeing that she couldn't get rid of this scoundrel, Yun Wansheng could only turn around and leave in frustration, and Mu Xingci just followed her.
When she arrived at the city gate, Yun Wansheng hired a carriage on her own. As soon as she got on the carriage, she saw the man getting on as well. This made her have no choice but to ignore him and not look at him.
The carriage was heading back slowly. Yun Wansheng leaned against the wall with her arms folded over her chest, dozing off. She tried her best to calm herself down so that she could think carefully about how to get rid of this bastard.
Mu Xingci looked at the ignoring woman with tender eyes, leaned over and sat beside her, put his calloused hands around the woman's waist, and then let her lean on his arms.
"Don't be angry. Look how charming you are. You can even make a regent die for you without hesitation. If others knew about this, I wonder how many people would be envious." The man coaxed softly.
Yun Wansheng opened her wise eyes in the man's arms. Instead of pushing him away, she snuggled in his arms and hit the man's arm twice in a fit of temper.
"Your love talk is getting more and more shameless. You even have the nerve to say such nonsense about committing suicide for love. Are you sure I won't commit suicide before you dare to say that?"
Mu Xingci laughed out loud when he heard this, and grasped the little hand that hit him with his bony hand: "I have thrown my face behind my back when it comes to you. As long as I can make you happy, I can do anything shameless."
Yun Wansheng listened to the man's sweet words with a slight smile on her red lips. Pleasant words really made people feel happy, but unfortunately, the man's identity was destined to become an unbridgeable gap between them.
"When will you return to the capital?" Yun Wansheng said seemingly in a compromising manner.
"I will deal with the affairs of the Yan tribe first. For the future peace of the Dongqiang land, the Yan tribe must be disciplined. Only those who are loyal to my Shun Shang country can become the chief of that tribe." Mu Xingci said gently.
"Yeah! It should be."
"Wan Sheng, I originally thought it would take some time to disrupt the Yan tribe, but your experience gave me a good way to strike them down. This is truly a blessing from heaven."
"It seems you have already figured out how to deal with those Yan people."
"Well! But don't worry, I will spare your father's life for the sake of you and your siblings." Mu Xingci said after some consideration.
"You don't have to... Ask my eldest brother for his opinion! I don't care whether that person lives or dies."
I wanted to say that there was no need to worry about my own face, but then I thought, the patriarch is Shangguan Lan's biological father after all, and it is difficult for me to make the decision.
"You had to flee at such a young age, all because your father favored his concubine. It's understandable that you have no feelings for him." Mu Xingci said as a matter of course.
"Well! No wonder my grandfather insisted on begging you to take me in as your concubine. It turns out that all he did was just to protect me." Yun Wansheng said with some sadness.
