Chapter 39
Before She Fell in Love
“Bei Cong finally told the truth about making me stay. He checked and found out that my eight characters match Brother Mu Ci’s. Since I’m the daughter of the Bei family, they shouldn’t waste this opportunity. I was no different from an orphan, so they might as well marry me into the Mu family. Firstly, it was the best place I could go. Secondly, they wanted me to contribute to the family.”
“After listening to him, Bei Le stopped making a fuss. My mother stopped crying and persuaded me to marry the eldest young master of the Mu family to counteract his bad luck. She even placed me under house arrest and sent someone to watch over me 24 hours a day. I thought about it and agreed. My master said that since my parents gave birth to me and raised me, I should repay their kindness. However, it stops there. I agreed, but from now on, I have nothing to do with the Bei family. By severing ties with them, I can prevent them from implicating the innocent Mu family.” Bei Shuo’s thoughts were clear and calm.
Mu Ci beckoned Bei Shuo to sit beside him.
Liu Ming silently retreated with the shock in his heart.
Bei Shuo was still a little depressed. She got onto the bed dejectedly and leaned on Mu Ci’s shoulder. “My senior brothers were all chased out by Master when they were 18 years old. She said that they were adults at the age of 18 and had to support themselves. I was the only one who left Master at the age of 20. I didn’t want to stay in the Bei family and rely on them, but I’m still a little sad that they did this.”
This was the first time Bei Shuo had shown any unhappiness since they met.
Mu Ci’s heart ached as he reached out to hold Bei Shuo. “Both of us are unloved by our parents. Doesn’t that make us a perfect match? Now that we have our own family, we don’t need others to treat us well. We just need to treat each other well, don’t you think so?”
Bei Shuo’s emotions came and went quickly. She sat up straight and looked at Mu Ci with a smile. “Alright! I think so too. Although it’s different from what I thought at the beginning, this outcome is still good after meeting you. Let’s live happily in the future!”
She put Mu Ci’s hand back on her shoulder and sighed. “Ever since I left Master, no one has warmed me up like this. It’s so good!”
Mu Ci’s loving smile was a little bitter. This girl knew everything. She even knew the ways of the world, but she knew nothing about the word “love.”
If she were to marry someone else, she would probably be more alert. Since he was the one she was marrying now, she was completely at ease and relied on him steadily. However, she did not have any concept of marriage.
What else could he do? Of course, he had to dote on the girl he had fallen in love with to no end.
This was good too. Locking her by his side before she fell in love was also a foolproof method.
He reached out and rubbed Bei Shuo’s head, making a mental note of the members of the Bei Family. If there was a chance in the future, he had to make them pay. There was no way he could let them get away with this.
At this moment, the Bei siblings were standing excitedly at the entrance of Second Young Master Mu’s private clubhouse. Bei Cong took out two blue invitation cards and handed them over to the guard. The guard took them and looked at them with an indescribable expression.
Four young men strode over. The guard bowed and greeted, “Young Master Chen, Young Master Hua, Young Master Li, Young Master Ma, please come in!”
They nodded slightly, looked at the Bei siblings curiously, and strode in.
Bei Le could not help but ask softly, “Why don’t they have an invitation?”
The guard said casually, “They’re Second Young Master’s childhood friends. They don’t need invitations. Only new guests need them.”
Bei Le felt her face burning in embarrassment.
The guard respectfully returned the invitation to them. “Young Master Bei, Miss Bei, please come in.”
Bei Cong was initially excited, but he could not help feeling perturbed now.
Fortunately, the receptionists were very polite, allowing the Bei siblings to regain some self-esteem.
When they entered the club, the sound waves hit them in the face. With the deafening music, a round stage came into view. A group of girls in short white skirts were singing and dancing on the stage. The booths under the stands were almost full. Some were clapping for the performance on the stage, while others were gathered in groups of twos and threes to raise their glasses and talk.
