Chapter 9: Chapter 9

It Has Nothing to Do With Me

The driver started the engine without any instructions promptly.

Bei Shuo took a careful look at Mu Ci’s expression and he seemed angry. Intuitively, she knew it was not because of her this time.

“Brother Stone—” She waved her hand in front of Mu Ci’s face.

Mu Ci grabbed her little paw in frustration and pressed it against his leg.

Bei Shuo looked over and asked carefully, “Aren’t you happy about marrying me?”

Mu Ci could not help but glance at her. He could tell she was trying to make small talk and she was not very good at it.

Looking at the pair of clear eyes in front of him, he could not bear to speak coldly to her. He said calmly, “It has nothing to do with you.”

Bei Shuo immediately nodded. “I also think that it has nothing to do with me.”

Mu Ci felt annoyed.

The driver and Liu Ming wished they could close their ears. They had never heard anyone talk to the young master like this. No one would dare to do it.

This girl was certainly bold!

Bei Shuo continued, “So does this have something to do with your family? They don’t agree to you marrying me?”

Mu Ci’s tone softened. “Marriage is my own business. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”

Bei Shuo nodded in agreement. “I think so too.”

It was quiet inside the car. The partition in the middle rose quietly. Compared to gossip, the driver felt that their lives were more important.

Mu Ci put his hand to his forehead. “What do you think about this?”

Bei Shuo tilted her head. “You’re already an adult. Marriage is your own business. You don’t need anyone’s permission. Master said that you have to take responsibility for yourself when you grow up. You don’t need anyone’s permission to do anything. Just do what you want.”

Mu Ci was speechless.

“Where’s your master?” He really wanted to invite her master over for a chat.

Bei Shuo shrugged. “She had something to do. She said that I was grown up and she was done taking care of me and left.”

“Is your master gone?” Mu Ci was shocked.

Bei Shuo nodded. “Yes, she left. I got into M University for postgraduate studies. Coincidentally, my parents came to look for me. I came to study and also found my family. She went to do her own things and told me not to look for her unless necessary. Master would come to see me when she was free.”

“A postgraduate degree?” Mu Ci caught the main point.

“Uh huh. I’m at M University taking Traditional Chinese Medicine,” Bei Shuo said calmly.

“Are you studying medicine? A PhD student no less?” Mu Ci was in disbelief. She was only twenty years old.

Bei Shuo nodded again. “Master doesn’t want me to tell anyone her identity. She wants me to study until I get my PhD before letting people know.”

Mu Ci heaved a sigh of relief. This was so much information for him to absorb.

Just as he was about to speak, Bei Shuo placed her index finger on his lips. “Shh. Brother Stone, I can’t reveal more about Master anymore. Can you stop asking?”

Mu Ci looked at Bei Shuo’s sparkling eyes and nodded. “Alright, I won’t ask anymore.”

Bei Shuo immediately smiled and twisted her body happily. “I’ve repaid my parents for giving birth to me. School will start in half a month. I have a place to stay and even found Brother Stone. I rock!”

Mu Ci did not know what to say.

Fine then, she was right. She was simply amazing!

Bei Shuo gently patted Mu Ci’s leg. “I’ll treat your leg and won’t let you die. You promised to protect me for the rest of my life, so you can’t go back on your word. If anything happens to you, even if I have to chase you to the Netherworld, I will cure you. Master says our job is to snatch lives from the King of Hell!”

She covered her mouth. “Oh. I can’t mention Master again.”

Mu Ci did not want to say another word.

He suspected that Bei Shuo had no concept of marriage at all.

No, there was no doubt that she had no concept of marriage at all.

While Mu Ci was trying to calm himself down, the car arrived home.

The happy Bei Shuo had completely relaxed. She consciously pushed Mu Ci’s wheelchair and sized up the six-story villa in front of her. “Wow! Your house is so big. It’s even bigger than the Bei family’s villa.”

Liu Ming interjected at the right time, “This is Young Master’s own property. Usually, Young Master lives here by himself. On weekends when he’s not busy, he will return to the old residence to have a meal with his family. It’s the place we just went to.”

Bei Shuo was shocked. She lowered his head and asked Mu Ci, “Do you live in such a big place alone? Isn’t it lonely?”

No one answered her question.

Fortunately, Bei Shuo was only remarking to herself and was not waiting for an answer.

Liu Ming had no choice but to continue the introduction. “Young Madam, we have a driver, chef, gardener, and maids here adding up to 16 staff members. There are also four bodyguards, and me.”

Bei Shuo was not surprised this time because there were many people in the Bei family. Even after they left, she did not know how many people there were and did not recognize all of them.

Liu Ming immediately gathered everyone to meet the young mistress. Everyone had different expressions, but in front of Mu Ci and the butler, no one dared to say a word.
