Chapter 1482: Great to Have You (42)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Wu Pingyang could no longer suppress her rage either. “Grandfather, you’re saying that those in power can do anything they want while the weak cannot do anything. The one that tainted the reputation of the Mu family was you and Second Aunt, I’m nowhere near you two! After all, my surname isn’t Mu. Moreover, whether Mu Wansheng is your daughter or my Second Uncle’s daughter, everyone’s curious about this even though no one says it on the surface!”

Mrs. Wu berated her sternly, “Alright, enough.”

“Let her finish!” Mr. Mu roared, his pair of round eyes glaring fiercely.

Wu Pingyang replied with pouted lips, “I have nothing much left to say already. I just want to know the truth. If Cousin Wansheng and Grandfather or Second Uncle were to do a paternity test, I reckon it’ll successfully seal everyone’s lips, right?”

Since this topic was raised, Mrs. Wu and the rest were actually very curious as well, with the exception of Wu Pingyang’s Second Uncle and Second Aunt, who appeared extremely indifferent.

Mr. Mu himself already had an idea of what to do. “Since this is the case, then we’ll wait for Wansheng to come back to do the paternity test.”

Once his words came out, everyone believed that the old master was being open and aboveboard about it. It was evident that he was just Mu Wansheng’s grandfather.

Hearing his words, Wu Pingyang became uncertain of what the situation was anymore. She could only remark sulkily, “Then, we’ll wait and see.”

——

After the effects of Mu Wansheng’s anesthesia had worn off, her eyes started to hurt terribly, and she could only describe the pain as being worse than death. The doctor told her that she could not cry, so in order to recover, she suppressed the urge to do so and grabbed onto Fan Shixin’s hand tightly to bear with the immense pain.

It took a total of two whole days for the immense pain to ease.

In the days that came, Mu Wansheng couldn’t help but worry about whether Mianmian was doing fine at home. Fan Shixin had to call home once every day, and only after ensuring the child was well and fine would she rest assured.

This stay at the hospital turned out to be an extremely long one for her. Fan Shixin stayed by her side every single day, and even during meal times, he got people from the restaurant to deliver food directly to them. Since the day she was hospitalized, he never left her side at all and stayed with her every day and night.

This went on until a humid month of June.

Just last month, the donor had passed away, and Fan Shixin and Mu Wansheng even went to pay their respects to her.

Fan Shixin paid a huge sum of compensation to the donor’s family as well.

While the dead was gone, the living still had to move on with life. This was the final thing that the donor had wanted for her parents.

On the day of removing her bandage, Mu Wansheng was actually feeling more anxious than she was when she entered the operation theater.

Even though the doctor constantly assured her that the operation had been successful, before she could open her eyes to see, she still did not completely believe it.

Mu Wansheng sat by the bed while her doctor helped her to remove the bandage over her eyes.

Her fists were clenched tightly while Fan Shixin had a mirror in his hand as he stared intensely at her.

The moment the bandage was successfully removed, Mu Wansheng instead sat there with her eyes tightly closed and still did not attempt to open them.

The curtains had been closed shut inside the ward because they were afraid that her eyes would not react well to the sudden burst of light when she had been used to seeing darkness for a long time.

Just like that, she kept her eyes closed shut and only after a while did she slowly open them. Even though it wasn’t really bright inside the room, she was still extremely uncomfortable with the sudden brightness.

After the doctor tried to help her adjust to it, she was finally able to open her eyes completely.

She looked at the foreign doctor in a white robe before her, then turned to the nurse, who was smiling brightly at her, and finally, to Fan Shixin, who was beside her. Mu Wansheng became overwhelmed with joy, and, unable to contain her happiness, she turned to give Fan Shixin a kiss.

“Thank you guys so much.” Without the doctor and nurses, her world would still have been one that was enclosed in darkness.

Of course, most importantly, she had to thank the donor for this.

She was so thankful to her.

Fan Shixin passed her the mirror in his hands and said with a grin, “Take a look.”

Mu Wansheng took the mirror from him and raised it up, looking at herself inside it. Simply because her eyes were different now, it felt like she was completely different from before.

However, this pair of eyes, which were someone else’s, looked extremely natural on her face.

When the doctor and nurse were gone, she hurriedly said, “Quick, show me pictures of Mianmian.”

Fan Shixin took out his own phone and searched for pictures in his phone gallery. “Look, she looks exactly like how you looked when you were young. She looks so much like you.”

Mu Wansheng gazed at Mianmian’s rosy cheeks, and her heart was simply going to melt. He was right, the child looked extremely like her.

Thinking of how she had touched her small little cheeks previously, she realized they looked quite similar to how she had imagined them to be.

“When are we going back? I miss her already, I want to see her as soon as possible.”

“If you want, we can go back right now since you’ve already recovered.”

“Then let’s go back right now.”

“Look at how anxious you are.” He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the situation. “Since we’re here, why don’t we explore the place before we go back? Let’s go back home tomorrow, shall we? I want to bring you around.”

Mu Wansheng thought that it indeed would not make a difference if they explored the place before they went back, so she agreed.

Never would she have imagined that Fan Shixin would bring her to the top of a hill to see M Nation’s famous night view while they had their luggage with them.

This hill was situated at the far end of the city they were in, and the bird’s-eye view at the top of the hill was excellent.

Not only that, the air at the top of the hill was especially fresh, and there was a luxury hotel situated there. The two enjoyed the night view while sipping on wine, their moods spectacular.

“I didn’t dare to think, nor did I allow myself to think, that this day would come. It’s great to have you, Shixin.”

He reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, a deep and meaningful smile forming on his face. “I’ve been bearing with it these days. I thought since your eyes weren’t recovered, I couldn’t touch you. So we’re staying a night here so that I can have you properly. May I?”

Mu Wansheng couldn’t help but remark, “When were you such a gentleman? You’re even asking me if you can have me beforehand. This isn’t your style.”

“I want to give you a proper mental preparation.” He placed the wine glass on the table and pulled her even closer to him.

As Mu Wansheng leaned closely against him, her face started to feel hot all over, and she didn’t quite dare to fix her eyes on him.

She didn’t think that even after a few years had gone by, he’d look like he had not aged a single day.

He looked exactly like how he did four years ago.

This face was one that made her heart palpitate with excitement.

They were now above the observation tower, where the lights had already gone out and only they could see the outside world while the people outside were unable to see them.

Fan Shixin went behind Mu Wansheng and started to lift her skirt up all the way to her waist. Mu Wansheng knew what he was trying to do but was suddenly at a loss as to what to do. “What if other people see us?”

“They won’t be able to.”

Mu Wansheng was assured in the end and allowed him to do as he wished.

The two finally rested against each other while catching their breaths. Mu Wansheng leaned against his chest while he hugged her from behind as the two watched the stars together. Mu Wansheng simply felt that this life of hers had taken so many turns, and it was great at the present moment.

——

The following day, the two left M Nation and returned to S Nation.

Their flight was a long one, and Mu Wansheng ate and slept throughout the whole journey. When they arrived home, she could not be more energetic.

Because of the time difference, it was three o’clock in the morning when they reached home.
