Chapter 11 I Will Never Leave You In This Lifetime

Xu Muqing pouted slightly as she glanced at her mother. She found that her mother’s fondness and support for Li Hang increased as days went by. However, he had only moved in for less than three days! Xu Muqing pulled Li Hang into her room. “Don’t be eager to currying my mother’s favor. Otherwise, she would treat you as her true son-in-law. What should I do if that happens?” The corners of Li Hang’s mouth curled up to a smirk as he said, “Then, I’ll just have to be the real son-in-law.” “No! I’ve told you that there is someone that I’m waiting for.” Li Hang immediately leaned forward and asked with a smile. “Then, what’s this person’s name?” “His name is Li...” Xu Muqing quickly covered her mouth as she almost called out Li Hang’s name. Then, she rolled her eyes in an exceptionally charming way. She turned her head away, pursing her red lips slightly, “Hmph! I won’t tell you!” She had already told Li Hang on the day of her operation. It was the same name! How annoying! Xu Muqing’s behavior was simply adorable in Li Hang’s eyes. He could not help but want to tease her. As Li Hang’s face closed in, he could pick up the faint fragrance from Xu Muqing’s body. “Since you don’t want me to be the son-in-law, then I will be the son then.” “I was orphaned as a child, so I have never felt the warmth of a family. Although Ma may seem fierce and tends to pull out a kitchen knife in her fit of anger, she is actually very nice. As for Pa, he doesn’t talk much, but I can tell he is a good person. As for your brother... “Brother-in-law, breakfast time!” At this time, Xu Haoran’s voice boomed from outside the door. Xu Muqing stamped her feet again in dissatisfaction, “Argh, how dare he betray his own family!” Although her words were unwilling, Xu Muqing’s gaze on Li Hang became tenderer. “In any case, just know this. I have someone in my heart. When my heart fully recovers, you can leave. Find someone more suitable for you.” What a silly yet kind girl. She had to reject Li Hang as another man had occupied her heart. Yet, she could not bear to break his heart. As Xu Muqing walked out of the room, a warm and brilliant smile surfaced on Li Hang’s face. Silly girl. I will never leave you again, not in this lifetime. As Xu Muqing came down from the stairs, Li Hang, who went downstairs earlier, was already waiting for her by a motorcycle. He stopped the vehicle beside Xu Muqing. The only car in the family had been sold, leaving this motorcycle as the only vehicle of the family. “My dear wifey, get on!” Xu Muqing cast a questioning glance sidewards at Li Hang. As soon as Xu Muqing said this, Li Hang had a sudden surge of excitement. Rubbing both his palms together, he said with a smile. “You ride it.” Initially, Xu Muqing did not think deeply about it. However, when she saw the expression on Li Hang’s face, her brows puckered together doubtingly. Soon, she realized that Li Hang would be sitting behind her if she was the leading rider. In that case, where would he place his hands? She looked at Li Hang’s cheeky grin. In that instant, a wave of annoyance flashed through Xu Muqing. She stretched out her hand and gave Li Hang’s shoulder a heavy smack. “OUCH!” Li Hang cried out as he made a pained expression. “What’s wrong, are you okay?” Xu Muqing quickly lowered her head and asked caringly. The woman soon realized that she was being teased by Li Hang again. She snorted as she turned away, storming towards the exit of their constituency. Without delay, Li Hang hopped onto the motorcycle, chasing after her as he apologized between his laughter. After some time, he finally managed to coax Xu Muqing onto the motorcycle. Then, Li Hang drove through the old city with a deep sense of familiarity. During the journey, Xu Muqing sat quietly behind Li Hang. She did not want to have any physical contact with the man. However, the ‘scheming’ Li Hang deliberately rode into potholes along the road. The tumultuous riding left Xu Muqing with no choice but to hold onto Li Hang’s shoulders with both hands. As the journey proceeded, Xu Muqing soon realized that the route was wrong. “As I said, you are on the wrong path! The company office building is in the west. We are now heading north.” “No way, it can’t be wrong. Look! It is just ahead.” Xu Muqing followed Li Hang’s hand and looked ahead. All she saw was a Mercedes-Benz 4S store in front! Initially, she thought that Li Hang was joking. However, when Li Hang rode the motorcycle through the doors of the store, she panicked. “What are we doing here?” “Shopping.” Li Hang’s tone was unsettlingly natural. It sounded as if he was just at a small supermarket to buy snacks. He parked the motorcycle beside him, took Xu Muqing’s hand in his, and strolled in. This was the first time Xu Muqing had visited a Mercedes-Benz’s 4S store. In the past, the car the Xu’s owned was an ordinary Buick, valuing at a few tens of thousands of dollars. For the woman, buying a luxury car such as Mercedes-Benz was something that could only happen in her dreams. Li Hang and Xu Muqing were dressed rather casually, or ‘ordinarily’ in their humble fashion. Despite Xu Muqing being a great beauty, she did not appear to be a wealthy prospect all. Hence, the experienced salesmen next to them continued to chat within themselves, paying no attention to Li Hang and Xu Muqing. On the other hand, Li Hang brought Xu Muqing around every corner of the store as if the salesmen were non-existent. Xu Muqing reached out and tugged Li Hang’s sleeves as she whispered. “Let’s get out, the cars here are too expensive.” “What style do you like?” It was as if the man didn’t hear her at all and he asked while browsing around. Xu Muqing shook her head and continued, “I don’t like them, let’s go.” Right after Xu Muqing said this, Li Hang pulled her hand and walked in front of an all-white Mercedes-Benz “E-Class” sedan. Just now as he forcefully led Xu Muqing around the showroom, he observed that her eyes would glance towards this car from time to time. Li Hang then reached out and opened the door. “Come on, sit inside and have a feel of it.” Despite her mouth saying no, Xu Muqing was already sitting in on the driver’s seat of the car. From her sparkling eyes, her fondness of the car was obvious. “Miss, please come out of the car.” At this time, a female salesperson caked in heavy make-up approached them. From her judgement, she thought that Li Hang and Xu Muqing were not someone who could afford a luxury car. As she spoke, her expression was stern and unwelcoming. Her tone exceptionally rude, condescending even. “This car costs more than seven hundred thousand, I don’t think it’s something you can afford!” Xu Muqing’s hands on the steering wheel shrank backwards. She, who was still in high spirits, just had a bucket of ice-cold water doused over her head. Xu Muqing was about to scurry out desperately from the driver’s seat when Li Hang stretched out his hand and placed it gently on her shoulder. His eyes then narrowed on the saleswoman. “Why do you think I can’t afford this car?” “Hmph!” The saleswoman sneered. “Mister, can you stop acting all big in front of your girlfriend?” “I have seen too many people like you!” “If you can afford it, take out the money now!” The salesperson’s voice got getting louder and louder as she mocked the duo. She quickly attracted the attention of the people nearby! “If you buy this seven hundred thousand Benz, I will drink this bottle of windshield polish!” Li Hang’s mouth raised into a subtle smirk. He reached out his hand and pointed at a female salesperson who had been standing at the door not far away. He hooked his finger, gesturing for her to come over. This saleswoman was new to the job. She was the one that moved the motorcycle Li Hang and Xu Muqing mindlessly parked to the parking space nearby. “Hello sir, can I be of help?” She asked with a textbook pleasant attitude and always wore a kind, sincere smile. Li Hang fished out a black card from his pocket and tossed it to her. “Go to the counter. The password is six zeros. This car is mine.” “Huh?” Xu Muqing and the new female salesperson burst out in unison. Both of them wore a similar dumbstruck expressions. However, compared to Xu Muqing’s surprise, this female salesperson was astounded beyond belief. A black card! Banks distributed these bank cards in scarce limited quantities. It was not something that ordinary people could own!
