53 Chapter 53. Her husband was still the prettiest

"Oh, I remember now," Mu Ru exclaimed.

Mu Ru immediately remembered what happened five years ago. She widened her eyes in surprise and stared at Nangong Xun in disbelief.

"So it's you! No wonder I thought you looked familiar yesterday. We've met five years ago. You're much more handsome now than you were five years ago!" Mu Ru said excitedly.

"Xi Muru, get over here!" Dongfang Mo said angrily.

Dongfang Mo heard Mu Ru praising Nangong Xun for his good looks. He felt very uncomfortable and could not help but scold her for showing her excitement.

"Xi Muru, I am indeed ugly, but you have sworn to be my wife ten days ago. Now, you are going to despise me—"

Mu Ru quickly said, "I am not going to despise you."

Mu Ru obediently walked to Dongfang Mo.

She lowered her head and said, "I think...you are pretty good-looking too."

Dongfang Mo was slightly stunned, and then he angrily said, "Xi Muru!"

"Xi Muru, what are you saying? I know very well that I am so ugly that I cannot even go out and meet people. You don't have to mock me, if—"

Mu Ru interrupted him again. "I'm telling the truth."

Mu Ru defended herself and justified what she had just said.

"There's a saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and you're my husband. In the eyes of any wife, her husband is the most handsome person. Do you want me to say that my husband is ugly?"

Dongfang Mo was slightly stunned, but he faintly smiled. Although Xi Muru initially sounded sarcastic, he found it gratifying to hear her say it. He decided that he would not let go of her.

He quickly reached out and grabbed Mu Ru's wrist. He stared at Nangong Xun fiercely.

He said, "I'm sorry, President Nangong. Although you were once engaged to Mu Ru, you heard what she said just now. She just admitted that I'm her husband, and—"

Nangong Xun quickly cut him off. "And everyone in Binhai knows that you're married to Xi Muxue."

Nangong Xun then turned to look at Xi Yuancheng.

"President Xi, I don't care what you have to do. Just make sure that you keep your promise and bring Mu Ru to me. She has long been engaged to me," he said sternly.

Xi Yuancheng felt helpless. The whole situation frustrated him.

He had never imagined that neither of the two men would choose his beautiful and beloved youngest daughter, Mu Xue.

Instead, they both argued over his ugly and unattractive daughter, Mu Ru, whom he had always seen as an unlucky and ominous child. Dongfang Mo and Nangong Xun were literally fighting over her.

"Mu Ru."

Xi Yuancheng was looking at Mu Ru with pleading eyes.

"Mu Ru, five years ago, you were engaged to Qin Xun, to CEO Nangong. Now, he wants you to fulfill the engagement. Look—"

Mu Ru looked at her father helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"Dad, what happened today is none of my doing. Dongfang Mo once despised me when I replaced Mu Xue to marry him. When you brought Mu Xue here to swap us, Mu Xue wasn't willing to stay, and I was forced to stay. Now, you want me to go back home again and let Mu Xue stay. What do you take me for? And what do you take Dongfang Mo for?"

Clap clap clap.

Dongfang Mo clapped his hands in agreement to what Mu Ru had said.

In a mocking tone, he said, "That's a good question! So, President Nangong, it's not wrong for you to want your fiancee back. It's just that you've come to the wrong place. I don't have your fiancee here. I have only my wife with me. You'll have to look somewhere else for your fiancee."
