{Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire (Chinese To English Translation)}

She saved his life during an accident, and he insisted on marrying her to repay the favor. Once the news got out, everyone wondered why a strong, powerful man like him would want to marry an ugly, worthless woman like her. In fact, she was far from ugly and a woman of many secrets. The only reason she had returned to her country with a secret identity was to investigate her mother's death. As each layer of her secrets were peeled away one by one, the people around her began to realize the truth-this woman is way tougher than her man!

Big Brother's Sweet Wife

Chapter 133 Should I Be His Girlfriend? 


Once, Situ Hai arranged for Mu Xinyue to meet Shi Shuzhen at her regular card game place because Mu Xinyue wanted to get into the same social circle as Shi Shuzhen. The latter did not even take a glance at her when she shooed Mu Xinyue away. Till date, Mu Xinyue was still scarred by Shi Shuzhen's scornful remarks, "Who in their right mind would think that a ragtag and bobtail can play cards with me?"


From that day onward, it had never crossed Mu Xinyue's mind to make any contact with Shi Shuzhen.


Trying to shake herself off the bad memory, Mu Xinyue spoke assertively, "No matter how powerful Ye family are, I'm certain that they won't like any gossips and scandals to taint their family name. We're living in the Internet era. If this matter goes viral, she'll no longer have the last say in this."


"You're right. We should go to them now." Situ Hai instructed Mu Xia, "Go and get changed into something more decent. We'll head to the Ye residence right away."


Mu Xia squinted her eyes and shook her head. "I'm not going."


Situ Hai furrowed his brows while Mu Xinyue rushed to speak first, "Shan Shan, don't be stubborn. We are doing this for your sake. Marrying into the Ye family is the best option to ensure that you live a life of abundance and with dignity."


Mu Xinyue insisted to bring Mu Xia along to Ye family and force them to accept her.


「We have to make a big fuss about this, so that people will know that Xia and Lord Sijue are together. Then, we shall expose her scandal with another man that will completely ruin her reputation. This is the only way for Xia to get in the bad book of Ye family.」 


Mu Xinyue rehearsed her wicked plan in her head.


Situ Hai gave Mu Xinyue an approving look. Subsequently, he commanded, "Xinyue is thinking for your sake. Go get ready!"


「Am I an obedient person who would just welcome any kind of oppression? Sorry, that's not part of my characteristics.」 


Surely, Mu Xia had sniffed out Mu Xinyue's evil scheme.


Although she was confident that she could tackle any of Mu Xinyue's move, things would be very different once they stepped foot into the Ye residence.


Mu Xia did not wish to become the subject of everybody's gossip. She only wanted to investigate her mother's case secretly, without anyone's knowledge.


「At least for this period of time, I must stay out of the limelight.」 


She glanced at Mu Xinyue and smirked. "Dad, it's not that I'm not willing to go, but there's no reason to go."


Puzzled, Situ Hai asked, "What do you mean?"


Mu Xia sighed. "Actually, I didn't want to tell you earlier because I was still deciding."


Her statement made Situ Hai even more baffled. "Deciding on what?"


"Before leaving the hotel today, Young Master Ye asked me to consider being his girlfriend," Mu Xia said timidly.


Both Situ Hai and Mu Xinyue snapped their heads upward instantly. One was shocked to the core whereas the other beamed with joy.


Situ Hai interrogated her, "Are you serious? Is that true? What else did Young Master Ye say?"


Mu Xia continued to put on an act. "It's true. Well, this is a private matter… I won't lie to anyone about this. If you don't believe me, you can ask Young Master Ye. I'll give him a call now."


Mu Xia pretended to fish for her phone from her bag.


"No, no, don't." Situ Hai stopped her instantly.


「If Lord Sijue has said so, Xia absolutely has an advantage in this matter. Calling him would be redundant and make us look too petty. A girl should play hard to get in order to make the guy go crazy about her.」 


Situ Hai was thrilled but pretended to be angry. "You're such a nuisance. Why did you keep this important detail a secret? Between us father and daughter, you should come clean with me."
