One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love Novel - Chapter 2495
Chapter 2495: Did you run a background check on me?
“Since this is your ultimate dream, I’ve decided; I’ll give you a wedding gown even if I can’t marry you in the future. I’ll get a well-known designer to custom-make one for you. What do you think of that?”
She did not respond right away. Instead, her face dimmed in apparent disappointment.
That expression was firmly etched into his mind, and he could not help feeling heartache for her as he recalled it now.
Her ultimate dream had probably nothing to do with wedding gowns but rather with him being her groom.
“If I do end up tying the knot with you, I bet I’ll break down in tears at the wedding venue.” She once told him this dejectedly.
Pulling back from his thoughts, he retorted with a smirk, “Five gowns? How interesting you are, Song Enya.”
He lifted his head at that. “You know full well the reason behind us getting married. Just stick with a basic wedding ceremony. That’s enough of an account to your family. As for those custom-made gowns you mentioned earlier, you can get them yourself if you really want to and just put them on the Mu Group’s tab.”
The missy blandly commented, “You don’t seem to care about our wedding.”
“Pardon?” In an equally cold tone, he replied with a cock of his brow, “You, on the other hand, seem to be pouring a lot of attention and effort into our wedding, so much so that I’m getting this idea that you resorted to all those dirty tricks because you’re truly after getting hitched with me!”
“You!”
Rendered momentarily speechless, she eventually spat, “After getting hitched with you?! Haha! Dream on! This joke ain’t funny at all! I just don’t wanna lower my status and suffer a grievance! Given our families’ social standing, we can’t be slipshod about the wedding! It needs to be grand and lavish! You, on the contrary, have been anything but lackadaisical about it as though it’s got nothing to do with you. You don’t look like a groom-to-be!”
Mu Yancheng lifted a corner of his lips in a cold smirk. “I’ve already done my part!”
His words, although softly spoken, were firm and practically forced out through gritted teeth.
Just as the missy was taken aback by his words, she heard him continue saying, “It’s on account of your family that I chose to suffer this disadvantage, even though you used such unscrupulous means to get married to me. The cheek you’ve got to talk about holding a glamorous wedding! Be clear on this: Marrying you and giving you a legal title is already a great favor bestowed upon you! You don’t have the right to request this and that from me! Just stick with the basic requirements for the wedding and stop with all your requests. There’s a limit to my patience!”
“There’s a limit to your patience? Am I the only one you’re so impatient with, or do you treat all other girls this way, too?!”
“That has nothing to do with you!”
Song Enya’s eyes grew wide and round in anger. “What about Meng Qingxue then?!”
The unexpected mention of Meng Qingxue’s name stunned him, and he stared wide-eyed in puzzlement at the missy.
She continued questioning him. “Do you treat her the same way you do to me?!”
Anxiety replaced bewilderment. “How do you know about her?!”
“That’s none of your business!”
“How did you know her name?!” A possibility hit his mind right there and then, and he asked askance, “Did you run a background check on me?!”
