Chapter 1472: Great to Have You (32)

Mu Wansheng thought to herself that he was probably not home yet.

She proceeded to whip up a meal.

Although cooking was tough for her since she was visually impaired, she had already gotten used to it.

By the time she was done cooking, Tang Yucheng was still not home yet.

Mu Wansheng could not help but feel a little worried. She continued to play with Fan Mianmian before tucking her to sleep. He finally returned at past midnight.

He reeked of alcohol.

This was the first time that he had ever come home drunk.

Mu Wansheng asked gently, “Why did you drink? Where did you go?”

Just as she tried to grab him, he pushed her away and barked in a drunken stupor, “It’s none of your business. You… you’ve heard what that man said today. He’s already reapplied a household register for you. Your identity as ‘Happy’ is no longer valid. That also means that you’re no longer my wife. We don’t even have to get a divorce. Frankly speaking, Happy, weren’t you glad to hear that he had already gotten a divorce?”

“No.”

“I know you were. He’s such a good catch. He’s handsome and rich. I can’t hold a candle to him at all. I can’t give you a good life or let you stay in a good house. I don’t have a car like he does and I’m not as tall as he is. It’s only understandable for you to waver. Although we’re no longer legally married, you’ll always be my wife.”

“Mianmian is asleep. Lower your volume. I’ll go pour you some tea,” she said while walking away. However, Tang Yucheng refused to let her go and instead grabbed her arm.

“Carry me onto the bed.”

She carried him onto the bed with all her might.

To her astonishment, he grabbed her arms and pinned her beneath him. “Happy, I’ve never kissed you before. Will you let me kiss you?”

Mu Wansheng hurriedly sat up straight and said, “Yucheng, you’re drunk.”

“I’m not, I’m perfectly sober and I know what I’m doing. I’ve never gotten intimate with you before because I wanted to respect you. However, after I met with the mishap, I resented myself for failing to bed you because I could no longer do it. I’m incredibly frustrated and distraught. I wished I was dead.” He then lowered his head in a bid to kiss Mu Wansheng, who hurriedly cocked her head sideways, causing his lips to land on her cheek.

Tang Yucheng remained still and took a whiff of her scent.

“You react this way whenever I try to kiss you, yet you still say that you’re willing to stay by my side. Happy, aren’t you just avoiding the problem? You don’t genuinely want to stay behind.”

Mu Wansheng pushed him away and said, “I’ll go pour you some tea.”

This time, Tang Yucheng did not stop her. She headed to the kitchen to pour him some tea and brought it back to him.

Tang Yucheng took it from her and gulped it down.

“I’ve already told Kangcheng and his wife about this and they’ve both agreed that I should let you go. They think that I ought to let you go because you and Mianmian belong to him.”

Mu Wansheng placed the cup on the table.

He continued, “But I won’t let you go. Happy, I finally found meaning in life after living with you and Mianmian. If you leave me, I won’t know what to do with life anymore. I was on the verge of losing it when I was in the hospital. However, after you spoke to me when I was discharged, I decided to continue living life with you properly. Wansheng, I’ll really kill myself if you leave me.”

Mu Wansheng sat down on the bed and comforted him, “Don’t read too much into things.”

“I’m not, I’m just getting a major headache now. I just can’t stop wondering, would my life have stayed peaceful if I hadn’t saved you back then?”

“Are you regretting your decision to save me?” Mu Wansheng asked.

“I don’t regret saving you, but I regret letting you stay behind. I should have just sent you home.”

“…”

“If, I mean if, he gives you five million dollars, will you let me go?”

“Five… million?”

“Yes. If he gives you five million dollars to let go of me, will you? I want to hear the truth.”

“I… I won’t.”

Mu Wansheng’s heart sank. She had heard the hesitation in his tone.

“I’ve already heard everything that he said to you in the car,” he continued.

“The stuff he said about not wanting to compensate you? He only said it in a moment of anger. If I leave with him, he’ll definitely repay you for your kindness and for saving my life. I’m just worried that he might inform my family that I’m here. If he does, they would definitely come here to look for me and word about me being alive will definitely spread all over the news. We won’t be able to stay here anymore too…”

“…”

Mu Wansheng could not fall asleep at all for the rest of the night.

Soon, Fan Shixin arrived.

Tang Yucheng was out to harvest some vegetables while Mu Wansheng and Fan Mianmian were still asleep.

Fan Shixin headed straight to the bedroom. Upon the sight of the two of them sleeping, he sat down on the bed.

Mu Wansheng was sound asleep, and she had no idea that he was right beside her. Fan Mianmian was the first to discover him when she woke up wearily.

Fan Shixin caressed her face. Staring at him with her eyes wide open, she said, “I take my words back. You’re not Bad Uncle, you’re Daddy.”

Fan Shixin teared up and asked, “Who told you that?”

“Mommy.”

Fan Shixin glanced at Mu Wansheng and thought to himself, At least you still have a conscience.

“Come here, let Daddy hug you.”

Fan Mianmian stood up and walked toward him, after which he pulled her into his arms.

Upon the sight of Fan Shixin’s car, Tang Yucheng immediately dropped his vegetables and entered.

He panicked when he saw Fan Shixin hugging Fan Mianmian. “Mianmian.”

“Hello, Daddy.”

Tang Yucheng extended his arms and carried Fan Mianmian while Fan Shixin let go, feeling extremely disgruntled to hear his daughter address someone else as her father.

Mu Wansheng woke up.

“Yucheng, bring Mianmian out while I speak to him privately.”

Tang Yucheng did as he was told.

They were left alone in the room. Fan Shixin lifted the duvet, only to see that she was fully clothed. He asked, “Did you put your clothes on in the morning or did you keep them on all night?”

“Do you really want to know?”

“No, just tell me… your answer,” said Fan Shixin.
