Chapter 1489: Great to Have You (49)
It was a critical question.
In other words, the reporter was trying to ask if Mu Wansheng was the person who had come in between him and Yang Qianxue.
Fan Shixin understood that Mu Wansheng would receive harsh criticism as long as he did not make a detailed clarification.
Gossip is a fearful thing.
“Wansheng and I were in love before we got married. We were supposed to get our marriage registered on the day of her accident. However, my mother-in-law told us to postpone it to the following day because it was an inauspicious date. Unfortunately, Wansheng met with the accident that day. Yang Qianxue and I were only married in name and we had never consummated our marriage either. Wansheng is the only person I’ve ever loved, and I still do so today. Wansheng was put through a lot of hardship after her accident. She lost her vision and suffered burns that made her disfigured. She recovered only recently. I also only found out about our daughter a few months ago because Wansheng had been raising her in a village where she had resided for a couple of years. I really have Wansheng to thank for giving birth to such an adorable daughter, as well as for being determined and strong-willed enough to carry on living. I’ll do my best to be a good husband and father. I’ll protect Wansheng and our daughter, and I’ll love them forever.”
“I wish you and Ms. Mu conjugal bliss.”
“Thank you.” He then walked to the corridor together with Mu Wansheng.
After dinner, Mu Wansheng and Fan Shixin began playing some video games on the bed.
Mu Wansheng had never liked playing games in the past. However, she developed a penchant for it after playing one round with him. It was probably because everything seemed enjoyable so long as she was with him.
They began bickering with each other jokingly soon after. Fan Shixin wanted her to stop playing since she had already played for a while. However, Mu Wansheng refused to stop because she found it fun and wanted to continue.
Fan Shixin then put the video game console away and refused to give it back to her.
They were acting just like a teenage couple.
Hence, Fan Shixin pinned her down onto the bed to subdue her.
Mu Wansheng kicked her legs in the air and whined, “Let go of me, I still want to play. I’ll just play for another two rounds.”
“Video games are not as fun as I am. Don’t play video games. Play me instead.”
Mu Wansheng turned red and said, “What’s so fun about you? It’s the same piece of meat anyway.”
“Mrs. Fan, you’re insulting me.” He stared at the table and flung the video game console at it, after which it landed with a loud thud.
“Yes.”
“Honey, you’re really beautiful.”
Mu Wansheng said angrily, “Go to hell.”
He smiled and said, “Honey, I’m hungry.”
“We just had dinner a while ago. Have you got a black hole for a stomach?”
“I’m hungry for you.” He looked down and began kissing her.
Mu Wansheng’s anger vanished after he kissed her.

It began raining the next day. Fan Shixin and Mu Wansheng stopped paying attention to the news after reading the report about the interview that he had received and verifying that there was no mistake.
They then set off and proceeded to purchase their bespoke wedding gowns and suits. It was the happiest time of Mu Wansheng’s life. She’d never forget all the pain and torment she had been through.
They were as busy as bees for the next few days.
After settling everything, all they had to do was wait for their big day. Mu Wansheng suggested that they bring Fan Mianmian to see Tang Yucheng.
Fan Shixin agreed for he was in a pleasant mood.
The family of three headed to the Tang family village.
A long time had passed since they left the village. The shabby house that she used to live in had become a two-storey bungalow.
Mu Wansheng and Fan Mianmian walked in front of Fan Shixin, who was walking with some gifts for Tang Yucheng.
Since the door was left ajar, the three of them entered straight away.
Tang Yucheng was sitting in the backyard and basking in the sun while playing with a child. The first person he recognized the moment he saw them was Fan Mianmian and not Mu Wansheng.
“Daddy,” Fan Mianmian called merrily while scurrying toward him.
Staring at the child whom he had raised, Tang Yucheng teared up and asked, “Why are you here?”
“Mommy brought me here.” Pointing at Mu Wansheng, she continued, “Daddy, Mommy suggested that we visit you.”
Tang Yucheng looked at Mu Wansheng to see that she was dressed in a cherry-red woolen sweater and a pair of black stilettos, appearing extremely beautiful and eye-catching. “Happy?”
Mu Wansheng did not correct him and asked, “It’s me. How are you?”
“I’m fine. Your face…”
“I’ve undergone cosmetic surgery and it was successful. My vocal cords and eyesight have been restored.” She glanced at Fan Shixin and continued while smiling, “All thanks to him.”
Tang Yucheng nodded and said, “Great. I… am happy for you.”
“Yucheng, who’s here?” asked a female villager who appeared to be in her thirties.
“She’s my current wife, Xinyue. Xinyue, this is Happy, and next to her is Mr. Fan.”
Tang Yucheng’s wife instantly knew who she was. However, she was surprised to see that Mu Wansheng did not fit Tang Yucheng’s description. “Please have a seat.”
She quickly moved two chairs over for Mu Wansheng and Fan Shixin. Mu Wansheng said politely, “Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. I’ll go make you guys some tea.”
Mu Wansheng said, “You don’t have to. We’ll be leaving in a while. We came here today just to visit Yucheng and see how he’s doing.”
Xinyue nodded profusely and said, “He’s doing fine. We’ve been married for a few months, and I’m infertile too. That child is our adoptive son.”
“That’s great,” said Mu Wansheng, who felt much more relieved.
The three of them left shortly after because there was nothing much to chat about.
Before they left, Tang Yucheng asked, “I read the news report about you guys getting married. Aren’t you going to invite me to your wedding?”
Mu Wansheng said, “If you’re willing to attend our wedding, you’re definitely most welcome. We didn’t send you an invitation because we thought that you wouldn’t want to come.”
“I’ll definitely be there. Congratulations.”
Hence, Mu Wansheng gave him an invitation card.
——
The day of their wedding was the happiest day of Mu Wansheng’s life.
She was dressed in a white wedding gown with a face full of exquisite makeup. She sat down in front of the dressing table and stared at her own reflection in the mirror. Clad in a gown, Fan Mianmian said gleefully, “Mommy, I have a piece of news for you. Daddy is absolutely dashing today.”
“Oh, really? How dashing?” Mu Wansheng asked, amused by her remark.
“Hmm… I don’t know how to explain it but he’s just the most dashing man I’ve ever seen.”
Mu Wansheng pinched her cheeks and said, “Daddy is going to be over the moon if he hears your compliment.”
“Mommy, you must tell Daddy, then. Let him be overjoyed.”
“Yes, I’ll convey your words to him.”
