BXBX NOVEL Chapter 433: You have a Fiance!!
Chapter 433: You have a Fiance!!
Facing each other with only a table parting them, the father and son pair were battling with their eyes to see who would step back first.
Unable to take their cold war any longer, Grandmaster Mu cleared his throat and interrupted their fight "That-"
Before Grandmaster Mu could speak, the father and son duo turned to glare at him, directly cutting his words off.
Puffing his cheeks, Grandmaster Mu surrendered "Fine-fine! Continue with your cold war. Just ignore this old man...hmph!"
Seeing his father look unhappy, Master Mu sighed and decided to step back from their battle for greater benefit. Turning to Grandmaster Mu, Master Mu sighed "Dad, you were wrong this time. You shouldn't have hidden Mu Jun's relationship from me"
Before Grandmaster Mu could speak, Mu Jun cut him off and sneered "Why? so that you could chase her away with a few bucks and get me married to those petty ladies who know nothing but to look pretty and spend money?"
Hearing that master Mu frowned in disapproval as he asked "Mu Jun, do you think so lowly of your father?"
"..." not answering him, Mu Jun sat quietly with a cold expression.
Knowing that his son had misunderstood him again, master Mu sighed and explained "Mu Jun, that's not what I mean. The Mu family does not need to depend on a woman to strengthen their power. I believe in my family's men, and I especially believe that my son is more than capable to carry the family on his own shoulder without needing outsiders' support. Dad only wishes that you will find someone who would love you wholeheartedly and lend her shoulders for you to embrace when you are at your worst"
"Then what's the issue if you are alright with me finding anyone I love?" Mu Jun frowned
Heaving a sigh, master Mu looked up at Mu Jun and said seriously "The issue is not with the girl but the timing. This is not the right time for you to get together with her"
"Not the right time? Then could you please elaborate on what is the right time?" Mu Jun asked coldly
Knowing that his son seemed to be misunderstanding him again, Master Mu sighed "Mu Jun, dad is doing this for your own good. Getting into a relationship now would only be unfair to your girlfriend"
"What do you mean? how will it be unfair to my girlfriend?" Mu Jun frowned
"Because you already have a fiance" Master Mu exclaimed solemnly
"Oops!" Grandmaster Mu exclaimed when he recalled something
"What!" Mu Jun exclaimed in shock
"You were engaged when you were only five years old" Master Mu explained
Finding it unbelievable, Mu Jun turned to look at his Grandpa only to see the old man nod his head with a frown.
Before Mu Jun could digest this news, Master Mu continued to explain "This was decided by your grandmother"
Furrowing his brows, Mu Jun frowned "What generation is this? Why is grandmother still following the old practice of arranged marriage" after thinking for a moment, he said "But that doesn't mean I will actually oblige to her decision"
"I know but the important thing here is your mother actually agreed" Master Mu dropped another bomb
"Mother agreed?" Mu Jun exclaimed in shock
Nodding his head, Master Mu continued to explain "I was also pretty much shocked by her decision. Your mother was the one who always insisted to give you the freedom to make choices regarding your life. But it was also her who agreed to your grandmother's proposal. So when you were only five, the two of you were secretly engaged"
"But, why have you never mentioned it to me all these years?" Mu Jun asked doubtfully
"That was also your grandmother's request" Grandmaster Mu explained with a frown "When your grandmother proposed this idea, she said not to disclose the news to outsiders until your fiance turns eighteen. What was peculiar was your grandmother repeatedly warned us to keep it a secret within the two families and not disclose this unless necessary"
"So why are you telling me this now?" Mu Jun questioned
"For your knowledge and the other reason is...to prepare yourself" Master Mu explained
"Prepare for what?"
"The Engagement. Your Fiance is going to turn eighteen in a month's time" Master Mu explained
Furrowing his brows, Mu Jun was left deep in thought. After a long time, he finally looked up at Master Mu and asked "Who is she?"
"The little princess of the Rao family. You could say she is the most mysterious socialite. No one knows how she looks or where she lives. Not even her real name is known by the people, everyone only knows that the Rao family has a daughter who is extremely pampered and well hidden by her family. People only know her nickname...Little Red"
A few minutes later, walking walk out of the study, Mu Jun picked up his cell phone and made a call.
Before the other person could even speak, he ordered "In an hour I want all the details about the Rao family as well as their Young miss"
At this moment, the Pampered young miss being searched by Young master Mu was now sitting on the long couch in her house's living room, hugging a pillow in her arms while smiling at her mother like a baby as the latter pampered her by feeding her personally. On the other side, Grandmaster Rao stroked his darling baby's head and fed her some water from time to time to help with her digestion.
Sitting on the other couch, Master Rao was not ideal either as he held a knife and cut varieties of fruit for his baby girl to eat.
While the living room was filled with familial warmth, far away in the Rao family's corporation, Young Master Rao looked at the large stack of files his father had left him to deal with and could not help but curse inwardly at his father who had abandoned him to deal with the company while he himself enjoyed his time with their princess.
