Page 989 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Within Yuncheng University:

Mu Wan looked at Qin Mu standing before her. After all, he was the person she had secretly loved for years, and now they were so close. Her whole body shivered uncontrollably from nervousness.

Every word Qin Mu spoke was sharp and biting, his icy demeanor forming a stark contrast with the man who gazed deeply at Jian Ran.

When Qin Mu turned his gaze to the woman standing before him, the corners of his mouth were full of mockery. Women like her, he had seen plenty of them.

Heh...

Doing whatever it takes to marry into a wealthy family, even being exceptionally skilled at pretending.

Mu Wan took a deep breath. She couldn’t bear Qin Mu’s contemptuous and disgusted gaze any longer. In a soft voice, she said, "Mr. Qin, if you don’t leave now, I’ll call the police..."

After speaking, Mu Wan clenched her small fists tightly—only this gave her the slightest relief from her inner anxiety.

Though she deliberately tried to strengthen her tone, her words still sounded weak and powerless, stirring an uninvited sense of protectiveness in the man’s heart.

Qin Mu: "..."

Heh, this woman really has no fear of death.

A flash of darkness flickered in Qin Mu’s eyes. His thin lips approached the woman’s fair, jade-like earlobe as he murmured softly.

"Mu Wan, don’t think just because the old man has taken a fancy to you and decided you should be the Qin Family’s granddaughter-in-law, you can climb your way into the heavens.

.. Hmm? The old man is getting on in years and is naturally prone to being misled or influenced, but I won’t be so easily swayed, understood? "

Mu Wan: "..."

The old man has taken a fancy to her?

What did that mean?

Mu Wan couldn’t quite grasp the meaning behind Qin Mu’s words. Her beautiful eyes widened as she instinctively asked, "What do you mean? What old man?"

Qin Mu: "..."

Qin Mu steadied his gaze on the woman before him. Her eyes were so pure, devoid of any taint.

Such innocence—it truly disgusted him.

He had seen many women skilled at pretending.

Especially the one standing before him—she must be a master at deception. Even with his experienced insight, he couldn’t see through her act.

"Mu Wan, surely you’re not telling me you don’t know that Grandpa Qin specifically named you for me to marry?

If that’s the case, you really are smarter than those women outside.

.. knowing how to catch the kingpin first, winning over the old man.

Now that you’ve captured him, how could I not obediently marry you? "

Mu Wan: "..."

Grandpa Qin?

Qin Mu’s grandfather?

She had only heard vague mentions of Grandpa Qin, knowing he was a famous and influential figure.

But she couldn’t recall ever meeting him.

Mu Wan pressed her lips together and looked at Qin Mu, her tone tentative as she asked, "So, what you mean is... Grandpa asked you to marry me?"

"Of course..."

Qin Mu narrowed his eyes. The woman before him didn’t seem to be lying. Even so, the way she appeared in his eyes—he was unwilling to admit she might truly be this innocent.

A cold glint flashed through Qin Mu’s gaze. He raised Mu Wan’s hand, which he had just grasped moments ago, his eyes filled with icy disdain.

"Mu Wan, I’ve said all I need to say... Behave.

I know Dongyue’s situation has been bleak for years; the purpose of a business alliance is clear to me.

.. mutual benefit. Rest assured, as long as you stay obedient and learn how to play the role of Mrs. Qin properly, I won’t cheat Dongyue.

Hmm... After all, Dongyue has practically sold its daughter to me, so naturally, I’ll pay the corresponding price. "

With that, Qin Mu stuffed a check directly into Mu Wan’s hand.
