The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses-Chapter 1447 - I Only Want You
Mrs. Fan said, “I think this girl has great attributes. She graduated from a prestigious university and is now working for a major enterprise. She’s well mannered and has a good temper. I even found out that her parents are very kind and friendly as well. They get along really well with their neighbors. She remained single until now because she had yet to meet someone whom she fancies. Shixin, she’s already dead. You still have to continue living. You’re our only son. Can you bear to see our family bloodline cease?”
“So, Mother, why didn’t you give birth to two sons when you gave birth to me back then?” Fan Shixin retorted impatiently. He had been in low spirits, and his temper had also gotten worse lately. He would often lash out at his subordinates as well.
“I would have given birth to another child if I could. Son, I just want you to have a companion who can be by your side. You’re already 31 years old. Do you know how upset your father and I felt when we saw other elderly couples playing with their grandchildren at the park? I don’t want to force you, so I’ve already suggested to Qianxue that the two of you start dating for a while and get to know each other better. If you really don’t fancy her, we’ll make other plans. Alright?”
Mrs. Fan began to sound desperate and eager for him to concede.
Fan Shixin sighed and said, “Alright.”
Upon hearing his answer, Mrs. Fan said gleefully, “Son, you have to be mindful of your health. Get more rest and refrain from tiring yourself out.”
“Got it. I’m driving now. Time to hang up.”
“Alright.”
Fan Shixin drove to the yard and parked his car inside the garage. As soon as he alighted from the car, he caught sight of Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning sitting on the swing.
He walked toward them at a steady pace and squinted at them. “Young Madam, Young Sir, you two are so cruel to a singleton like me bright and early in the morning.”
Jin Qingyan asked, “Where did you come from?”
“My parents’ home. My mother found me a prospective partner through a matchmaking session.”
“How did that turn out?”
“She seems to be a great catch, but I don’t feel a thing for her at all. My mother wants me to try and get along with her for the time being.”
Jin Qingyan sighed and remarked, “It must be tough on your mother for having such a disobedient son like you.”
Fan Shixin retorted, “Young Sir, how am I disobedient? I agreed to get along with her first. Aren’t I being obedient enough?”
Surprised to hear that he had agreed, Jin Qingyan said, “It’s been hard on you.”
“I’m glad you understand my plight, Young Sir.”
“I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news for you. Which one would you like to hear first?”
Pursing his lips, Fan Shixin answered, “Are you going to trick me again?”
“Hurry and make your selection.”
“I want to hear the bad news.”
Jin Qingyan raised his chin slightly and said, “Okay. The bad news is that your Young Madam and I are going on a vacation. You’ll have to take care of the kids.”
“Young Sir, isn’t this a piece of good news? Without you around, there’ll be no one to pressure me anymore. I’m more than happy.”
“…”
“Since you don’t find this to be bad news, I won’t say anything else. I shall now tell you a piece of good news. After some discussion, your Young Madam and I have decided to gift you with a bigger apartment as a reward for all your hard work throughout all these years.”
Fan Shixin finally smiled and said, “Young Sir, I hope to hear more of such good news in the future. Money and property are the most practical.”
“Shoot, which area do you want the house to be in?”
“Somewhere in our estate. I don’t like other estates and I prefer it here. I feel much safer. I’ll be nearer to you guys too.”
“There are only a few apartments left in our estate. Pick one and it’ll be transferred under your name.”
Fan Shixin nodded and said, “Thank you, Young Sir.”
“Okay. Why don’t you start picking one out now? There’s nothing much for you to do anyway.”
“Alright, I’ll go take a look.”
Fan Shixin proceeded to take a look at the apartments to find that the layouts and structures were similar. Finally, he chose a four-bedder.
There was a balcony in the bedroom and another one in the living room.
Fan Shixin had no idea why he suddenly recalled what Mu Wansheng said about wanting to have lots of children with him. If the apartment was too small, it wouldn’t be sufficient to house so many children.
The new apartment was spacious and had several rooms. Unfortunately, the mistress of the house was gone.
How tragic.
The ownership of the apartment was transferred to him after he took his pick. He did not inform anyone about it. Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning were the only ones who knew about it.

Lu Jingrao woke up to see that Mu Qixing had already left.
She had just arrived in the Luo family home.
Mr. and Mrs. Luo had yet to wake up.
Luo Hang and Xia Banqin were not in the bedroom either.
She took a shower, changed into a fresh set of clothes, and applied some makeup before making her way downstairs.
Mrs. Luo sat in the living room with a cup of coffee in hand.
Mu Qixing asked, “Mother, where’s Luo Hang?”
“He eloped with that woman.”
“Eloped?”
“Yeah. I sacked the servant who let her in last night and I lost my temper. I initially wanted to beat that woman into a pulp, but Luo Hang stopped me and brought her away. I didn’t try and stop them. From now on, Luo Hang’s father and I are going to terminate all his credit cards. I shall see how long that meager amount of cash can last them!”
Mu Qixing sat down and asked softly, “Mother, why don’t you like Banqin?”
“I think that woman is not one to be trifled with. It all started from when they first met each other. Luo Hang once attended a school ball and found that his blazer was missing all of a sudden. She then visited our home to return his blazer. There were so many people at the ball. How could she have known that it belonged to him? Besides, Luo Hang wasn’t in close proximity to her at all. I told Luo Hang that I found her to be very scheming but he didn’t think much of it. That’s how that woman approached him. She claimed that it was love at first sight and told him that she had used some tricks to get near him.”
Mu Qixing agreed with her mother-in-law’s opinion about Xia Banqin being scheming.
“However… she’s already been dating Luo Hang for so long and he really adores her too. Mother, if you keep getting in the way of their relationship, Luo Hang will resent you instead. You might as well give him your blessings.”
“Silly child. You’re our lawful daughter-in-law. That woman is nothing. Don’t worry, we got your back. Luo Hang will come to sooner or later.”
Mu Qixing answered, “Frankly speaking, I don’t fancy Luo Hang and he doesn’t fancy me either. Mother, there won’t be happiness if you force us to stay together. Luo Hang is too obsessed with that woman. Give it some thought, Mother. I’ll respect your decision regardless of what it is.”
Mrs. Luo was initially displeased after hearing her words. However, after she heard the rest of her sentence, she felt that Mu Qixing was an understanding and likable daughter-in-law. After all, she was indeed different from Xia Banqin.
