Shi Beiyu looked at Mu Siyin’s skinny back, and his brows knitted tightly. He lowered his voice and said, “What happened tonight is my fault, Yinyin. But you must believe me. I—”
“Can you stop lying to her? Since you’re destined to marry another woman, can you please let her go?”
Lu Jingchen really did not wish to see Mu Siyin wasting her time on Shi Beiyu. He was afraid that Shi Beiyu would squander around with Mu Siyin after marrying another woman. If that happened, Mu Siyin would be a despicable mistress with nothing to her name.
How different would she be to his dead cousin, Siyun?
If his auntie knew about this in the afterlife, how could she rest in peace knowing that her two daughters were sharing the same fate?
That would be terrible.
The light faded in Shi Beiyu’s eyes as he roared furiously at Lu Jingchen, “Shut up! Mind your own business and stop meddling with our relationship!”
Lu Jingchen snickered. “I’m her cousin! I definitely have a say in her matters! You want her to be your mistress, eh? Dream on!”
Lu Jingchen was very clear about the ways of the social elites. Bachelors aside, which married man did not have a mistress?
Forget about having just one mistress. It was not unheard of to have more than three mistresses too.
Although Shi Beiyu was not one of them, he could not marry Mu Siyin. In the end, how different would she be from all those women?
Shi Beiyu glared at him madly. “When did I say that she’ll be my mistress?”
“You can’t marry her, yet you don’t want to let her go too! Aren’t you implying that she’ll be your mistress?”
“You’re not me! How do you know I can’t marry her?” Shi Beiyu hissed coldly. He really wanted to strangle Lu Jingchen to death!
Lu Jingchen looked at the other man in suspicion. “You—”
“Shut up!”
Shi Beiyu had already been annoyed with Lu Jingchen for some time. After the latter tried to get in between Shi Beiyu’s relationship with Mu Siyin that night, Shi Beiyu had probably formed a grudge against the man.
Lu Jingchen was frightened by the death stare that Shi Beiyu gave him and frowned. He stood rooted to the ground, not knowing whether to speak or not.
Shi Beiyu raised his large hand to turn Mu Siyin’s face to him.
His heart broke when he saw her tear-stained face.
With his hand, he dried off the tears at the corner of her eyes. Then, he lowered his head and looked at her earnestly. “Trust me, Yinyin. You’re the only one I want to marry.”
Lu Jingchen snorted lightly. “You’re just capping. Who doesn’t know how to talk?”
Shi Beiyu really wanted to slap Lu Jingchen to death at that moment.
“I’ll register my marriage with Yinyin now. Do you want to be our witness?” He lifted his gaze and looked at Lu Jingchen. His voice was so cold that it could snow.
This caught Lu Jingchen and Mu Siyin off guard. She widened her tear-streaked eyes in shock as a wave of emotions hit her.
“You… Are you for real?” Lu Jingchen looked at the man suspiciously.
Shi Beiyu paid Lu Jingchen no attention. Instead, he lowered his head to look at Mu Siyin, and his magnetic yet determined voice echoed, “Let’s go register now.”
If marriage was the only way to gain her trust, then he would marry her now.
He had wanted to marry her for a long time anyway.
He did not wait for Mu Siyin to come back to her senses before he pulled her towards his car.
Lu Jingchen was still doubtful. He was joking, right?
Was he serious about registering their marriage?
The Civil Affairs Bureau was closed now. How were they going to register their marriage without any documents?
Ha! It turned out that Shi Beiyu was still lying to his dumb cousin!
The tycoon of the business industry really had some tricks up his sleeves!
Well, then. He wanted to see where and how this fake gentleman would register his marriage with his dumb cousin!
