He only doted on his niece because she reminded him of his mother.
However, this was not something she would need to mind about!
She was stunned for a while.
Was this man trying to clarify things to her?
Niece, he said?
Are they uncle and niece?
Still, why did she see the kind of adoration a woman would show a man she liked in his nieceâs eyes?
They might have that kind of blood connection, but how could he not tell that his so-called niece looked at him amorously?
She snorted. âWhy should I be angry?â
Her indifference truly antagonized him!
Suppressing his temper, he hissed, âYou really did mind about this!â
Her silence confirmed his suspicion.
Hence, he made a great concession. âIf that bothers you, then Iâll keep a distance from her!â
The corner of her lips tugged slightly, albeit her voice remained neutral. âIâm not qualified for you to do that for me.â
He could not stand to hear that and vehemently corrected her. âYou have the rights!â
âI donât have!â
âD*mn!â
Grabbing her chin with his thumb and index finger, he lowered his head to bite her lip flap out of frustration.
He really loved and hated this woman!
Her presumptuous nature especially infuriated him!
What did she mean by she had no rights? She had when he said so!
âOuch!â She jumped in pain and pushed against his chest, only to invite his rebuttal. âIf I say that you have the rights, that means you have!â
âMu Yazhe, donât you find yourself arrogant?! Do you really think that Iâm bothered by that?â Her eyes gleamed coldly and sharply. âWhat if Iâm bothered? Tell me, then; in what ways am I qualified?!â
The man kept quiet for a change.
When he merely looked at her, she snorted wryly. âWhat status do I have to interfere with your personal life?â
âYou are my woman, and that gives you every right!â he domineeringly declared.
She was stunned for a while before letting out a sneer in return. âIf Iâm yours, do you dare to declare about us to the world?â
His face sank at her words.
Her heart took a great beating when she saw his bewildered look.
See; our relationship is something that canât see the light!
What she wanted was a stable life that came with a happy marriage and not a relationship that must be kept a secret!
She would never let herself become a third party in a relationship!
She would not tolerate the thought of being cast in a despicable role even if his relationship with his fiancée was only in name.
She opened her mouth to speak at this thought. âSee; you canât even meet this demand. Mu Yazhe, please recognize your status and stop looking for me...â
âIf thatâs what you really want...â The corners of his lips flared up after a pause. âYun Shishi, Iâll let you become my woman through the proper channel!â
It was her turn to stare at him in disbelief this time.
It was... unbelievable.
âIâll declare to the whole world that you are my woman!â
He would do that when the time was ripe.
Currently, the political situation inside the Mu family was at the height of its chaos. With his grandfatherâs health deteriorating every day, the power struggle had grown fiercer. Some lost their patience, deeming that this was the time for a power change.
If he were to announce her status in his life now, his enemies might harm her to get to him.
