The wealthy young master: doting on his wife is addicting

Chapter 12 50 Dowry
"En." Mu Jingchen responded in a low voice, indicating that he was listening.

And Gu Xi seemed to have gained strength from such an insignificant tone of voice, she let go of the solemnity on her face, and let out a helpless smile, "I'm not her biological daughter."

"I'm an orphan. My mother and father were infertile because of my health, so I was adopted in an orphanage when I was ten years old." When Gu Xi said this, her eyes were crooked, obviously thinking of something good, but then her smile faded away. A few points, "In the second year after I came, my mother had a child."

"Dad said I was the mascot and brought new life into the family. We were all happy and the following winter I had a new sister."

The latter matter is not important, Gu Xi sighed, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Maybe it's because I'm dull, so I seldom interact with the opposite sex, and now I'm just an older leftover girl."

"Xiaoxiao is very proud of her parents. This year's college entrance examination, she was admitted to the best communication university in the city. It's just that the tuition fees are expensive, and a well-off family like ours cannot afford it."

When Gu Xi said this, she realized that she had no real complaints towards her mother, Sun Qiuqiu.An ordinary couple, and the family is not well-off, but they have borne her living expenses and tuition fees for 18 years, and they have done everything they can.

"I'm getting old, so my mother thought that if I marry a man with a wealthy family, I can also afford a valuable betrothal gift, which can be used for my sister's tuition."

After Gu Xi finished speaking, she felt that she might have revealed a little resentment in her words unintentionally. She was afraid that Mu Jingchen would misunderstand, so she looked up at his serious side face and added: "But anyway, I should get married at my age, and she misses me too. Marry into a wealthy family and live a better life for the rest of your life, this is the original intention of every mother."

"So what Miss Gu means is..." Mu Jingchen admired her frankness, and there was also a little surprise in it.Sun Qiuqiu treated her like that, treated her marriage like a child's play, and didn't even feel resentful, instead speaking for her.

So far, it's all about this...

Gu Xi gritted her teeth, clenching her fists to give herself strength, "I mean, if Mr. Mu wants to marry me, he will have to pay 50 as a bride price."

After a word, the silence in the office can almost hear the sound of needles hitting the ground.

Gu Xi didn't realize that she was holding her breath, listening to his answer with a hanging heart.What would she do if he agreed?What if he... just withdraws?
After a while, there was still no answer, Gu Xi already knew the answer.

In fact, the two didn't have much intersection, but she was inexplicably a little lost.

Gu Xi lowered her eyes, smiled with a complicated mood, and then looked up at him, "Mr. Mu now knows the reason why I didn't agree. Then we have settled the private matter, and the case of Ruyi Trading is not far away from the court. I will try my best to resolve it." Be as prepared as possible.”

Mu Jingchen just laughed, stood up holding the blind stick and stretched out his hand in her direction, the eyes under the sunglasses were smiling faintly, but no one could see him, his voice was a little lowered, "Miss Gu, I'm sorry Auntie has such a request, I..."

Gu Xi knew what he was going to say next, and because she was mentally prepared, she kept a good expression on her face and showed a considerate smile, "Mr. Mu, don't mind, you have worked very hard."

"What I want to say is..." Mu Jingchen wanted to say, I'm sorry that the price is not high, but that woman with high eyesight and low power who is greedy for power scares away some good men by mistake.

But he felt that he could not say so at present, so as not to frighten her away.

So Mu Jingchen said very euphemistically: "Tomorrow is the weekend, and no one in the Civil Affairs Bureau is at work. Is Miss Gu free on Monday?"

"what?"

Mu Jingchen smiled, "If you don't have time, can you spare some time?"

Gu Xi struggled to repeat his words twice, and felt that her comprehension ability was not bad, but why didn't she understand what he meant by the incoherent words.

In the end, she was still confused, and touched her forehead with a dry smile, "Mr. Mu, what... are you talking about?"

"Miss Gu knows." Mu Jingchen suddenly approached.

A pleasant smell of shaving water came over, and with the pressure of the tall, Gu Xi subconsciously took a small step back, and then saw that the blind stick on his finger fell off!

Maybe she was about to leave, but because she bumped into the short table in front of the sofa, she accidentally fell over to her side...

Gu Xi straightened out the cause and effect in the blink of an eye, and quickly stretched out her hands to support him.

Mu Jingchen is tall and big, and most of his body's strength makes Gu Xi a little bit overwhelmed. Her fingers seem to be able to penetrate the suit and touch the tight muscles under the material. Her ears are red, "Mr. Mu, be careful."

Now I can only be thankful that he can't see it.

His face was flushed red, and the roots of his ears were burning. Gu Xi felt a little like Ah Q.

Mu Jingchen curled his lips at an angle she couldn't see, and he lowered his head, his hands and feet "panicked" looking for some leverage on her, as if he wanted to stand up on his own.
