Chapter 387 Miss Republic of China, She is Charming 11
Chapter 387 Miss Republic of China, she is charming and charming (11)
Mu Beichen didn't know why his plan suddenly changed.
He waited at the pier for two full hours but did not see Bai Wu.
It wasn't until the ship was cleared of people that he reacted in panic——
In this life, he completely missed Bai Wu.
After some inquiring, I learned that she was taken to the Yancheng Police Station because she was involved in an arms case while on the ship.
Mu Beichen suddenly remembered the woman in Mu Cheng's arms.
No wonder he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity at that time.
It turns out she is Bai Wu!
So he drove to the police station without thinking.
He was confused and uneasy along the way.
He didn't know how he should meet her if he missed the game he had carefully laid out.
But it doesn't matter.
As long as we meet.
Everything is possible.
…
Facing Mu Beichen's questioning, Mucheng quickly guessed the whole story.
Was it because of Bai Wu that he went to the dock earlier?
But it was clear that Wu had been in country M before and had no chance to get acquainted with Mu Beichen.
Why is he looking for her in such a hurry?
Mucheng lowered his eyes and told the truth: "One minute before you arrived, she had already followed Director Bai back home."
An invisible feeling of emptiness hit Mu Beichen's body again.
Why?
Why is it almost again?
Mucheng could see all his regretful expressions.
Mu Beichen like this was extremely unfamiliar to him.
Like himself, he is a person who easily expresses his emotions and anger.
Even when the mystery of their life experiences was revealed, Mu Beichen looked cold and solemn.
But now, it was just because he missed Bai Wu that he showed such an expression.
Moving his lips, Mucheng asked almost involuntarily: "What is your relationship with Bai Wu?"
Mu Beichen noticed his gaffe and immediately darkened his face: "It has nothing to do with you."
He turned around suddenly, with a chill all over him. The moment he stepped into the back seat, he turned around and said coldly:
"Mucheng, you'd better not touch or even think about things that you shouldn't get involved in and people that have nothing to do with you."
Otherwise, he will be even more insane than in his previous life.
Mu Cheng saw the murderous intent flashing through Mu Beichen's eyes, and twitched the corners of his lips with some mockery.
Sure enough, his fleeting concession on the dock was all an illusion.
This is the way they should get along with each other.
…
It was already three o'clock in the morning when Mucheng returned home.
This time is not too late for him.
But he was tired as never before.
Obviously the long-unsolved major case has been solved, and he should be more relaxed and happy than ever.
But now he was surrounded by an inexplicable feeling of emptiness.
The lights in the living room were turned on, and the originally dark space was instantly filled with incandescent light.
But this light did not bring any warmth to this residence.
The neatly arranged space became even more lonely and desolate because of this cold light.
Mucheng stood at the entrance in silence for a moment and then walked into the bathroom.
He should be used to this place by now, shouldn't he?
The warm liquid was sprinkled from the shower head. Mucheng raised his head and let the warmth wrap around him as much as possible.
The feeling of suffocation that came over him from time to time gave his chaotic brain a moment of peace.
But something suddenly occurred to him. He didn't even have time to turn off the shower, so he hurriedly wrapped himself in a bath towel and walked out.
He moved freely through the darkness and soon arrived at the study.
Turning on the lamp on the desk, he easily found an exquisite gift box in the cabinet nearby.
There is a jade pendant lying in the box.
That was a gift given to him by Mrs. Mu on his coming-of-age ceremony.
But before he had time to open it, the mysteries of his life came one after another, disrupting all his life plans.
Later, he moved here from the shogunate, and he brought this gift box with him.
Mu Cheng ran out of the bathroom for no other reason than to suddenly remember what Mrs. Mu said when she handed the box to him——
"Acheng, dad and I have prepared a special surprise for you. It's in this box. Although it may be a bit abrupt for you, this is the best choice mom and dad made for you."
At that time, he smiled puzzledly and said: "What is so mysterious?"
Mrs. Mu and Master Mu looked at each other and smiled: "Open it quickly and take a look. When you have a good look, we will explain it to you."
But he hasn't opened it until now.
But he already had a vague suspicion in his mind.
Maybe this box holds the answer he wants.
Mucheng unpacked it and opened the red velvet cover. A delicate and small dragon-shaped jade pendant caught his eye.
The jade pendant was made into a semicircle and lay on the left side of the brocade box.
The missing half on the right seems to be quietly waiting for something.
Mucheng picked up the jade pendant in a daze, and then found a small roll of paper underneath it.
On it are neatly arranged a string of birth dates written with a calligraphy pen.
It's not his.
The information about Bai Wu I saw at the police station today suddenly came to mind. The date of birth on it clearly overlapped with that on the note.
Mucheng's fingertips trembled slightly.
He is really Bai Wu's fiancé.
Recalling everything on the boat, all the fog dissipated.
No wonder she has been extra clinging to her since she got on the boat.
Did it turn out that he knew his identity early on and recognized himself?
Mucheng didn't know how he felt now.
He only felt that the heart in his chest was beating and was about to engulf him.
A sleepless night.
The next day, he walked out of the bathroom with a pair of panda eyes.
After skillfully making a cup of coffee, Mucheng looked at the landline phone on the coffee table and fell into deep thought.
Should I call my parents to find out?
After moving out of Mu Mansion, he basically stopped contacting them because of his apology.
After thinking for a long time, Mucheng dialed the familiar number.
After the busy sound, a familiar female voice came from the phone: "Hey, who's there?"
Mucheng's throat rolled heavily, but in the end he couldn't say the word, so he just said lightly: "It's me."
Mrs. Mu on the other end of the phone recognized his voice instantly, and almost immediately choked up: "Acheng!"
Mucheng heard her intermittent voice coming from the phone: "...Jing'an, come quickly, Acheng called..."
Jing'an is his adoptive father's name.
Mucheng's nose felt a little sour.
"Mom, it's your birthday next month. I'll go back to see you then."
He finally spoke out what was in his heart.
Mrs. Mu on the other end of the phone was already crying profusely: "Okay, okay, as long as you are willing to come back, your father and I will be waiting for you at home."
After all, he was a child she had raised for twenty years. Even though he was not related by blood, Mrs. Mu still regarded him as her favorite.
It's not that Mucheng doesn't understand Mrs. Mu's love and affection for him.
But he didn't want to interfere with Mu Beichen's life again.
After chatting about the current situation for a while, Mucheng finally spoke just a second before the call was about to hang up:
"Mom, I would like to ask, is the engagement between me and Ms. Bai...is it true?"
