4 Getting Married to Young Uncle!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With the marriage certificate in hand, Ye Mu told Mo Shen before getting out of the car, "Wait for me for a little while here. I'll be back real quick."

Now that she was married, Ye Shanhu couldn't possibly make any more excuses to withhold the Hua Jing mansion from Ye Mu.

It was dinner time and the Ye family's living room bustled with activity. Today was the first time that their son-in-law, Gu Yiming was visiting them in their residence. Hence, the Ye family was naturally excited due to his presence and they were incredibly hospitable to him.

As the family was having their meal, Sister Li walked over and said in hesitation, "Madam…"

"Yiming, eat more," Yao Rujun looked at Gu Yiming with a polite smile on her face. Upon hearing Sister Li's voice, she could not help but turn her head to her, "What's the problem?"

Sister Li looked at Yao Rujun in hesitation, unsure if she should say it.

"What exactly is the matter?" Yao Rujun frowned at Sister Li.

At this moment, Ye Mu pushed open the door of the restaurant and walked in. Her gaze landed on Gu Yiming without warning, startling both of them.

Ye Mu's gaze quickly shifted away from Gu Yiming and looked towards Ye Shanhu, "Uncle, I am married."

As soon as she let out her words, everyone was shell-shocked.

Even Ye Shanhu, who was calm and experienced could not hide the look of surprise in his cloudy eyes. He shifted himself and with a smile that looked fake in Ye Mu's eyes, he said, "Xiao Mu, you shouldn't joke around with your own marriage."

"Uncle said that as long as I get married, you will return my father's mansion to me. Does Uncle not want to keep his promise?"

Ye Mu's words sounded innocent enough, yet it struck directly at the crux of the matter. She clearly wasn't planning to give any face to Ye Shanhu as she stared right into Ye Shanhu's eyes with her pair of clear and bright eyes.

Ye Shanhu was stunned and said with a smile and a tinge of awkwardness, "You're thinking too much."

Since Ye Mu entered, Ye Qiyi's gaze turned to Gu Yiming from time to time.

Seeing that Gu Yiming did not look different, she smiled gently at Ye Mu, "Xiao Mu, among the few sisters, my father dotes on you the most. It is not that he cares about the mansion, he is more concerned that your rash actions could cause you to make mistakes."

"Dote on me?" Ye Mu who had always been docile asked rhetorically with a sense of mockery, "If he doted on me, why would he take everything my father left behind for me, and let her daughter get engaged to my fiancé?"

If all of these meant love, then Ye Shanhu doted on her indeed!

Upon hearing Ye Mu's words, Yao Rujun could not sit still anymore.

She slammed her hands on the table, then pointed a finger at Ye Mu and scolded, "You ingrate! You have been living off our family for all these years, I don't even ask for any money from you… how dare you want to steal something from us? Who do you think you are?"

"Rujun!" Ye Shanhu said coldly.

After taking a glance at Ye Mu, he said solemnly at Yao Rujun, "Go get Hua Jing's Certificate of Occupancy! Give it to her!"

"Old Ye, are you crazy?! How much is the Hua Jing mansion worth? It's Qiyi and Yiming's matrimonial home! How can you give it to her?" Yao Rujun's eyes turned wide in astonishment.

"Exactly! What will happen to Elder Sis's matrimonial home if you gave it to her?" Ye Qimeng pouted in dissatisfaction.

Ye Qiwen didn't say anything at all. But she eventually bit her lips and spoke for Ye Mu's sake, "Mum, give it to Xiao Mu, that mansion was left behind by second-uncle for Xiao Mu. Dad is only helping to take care of it temporarily."

Yao Rujun turned her anger towards Ye Qiwen and pointed at her, "You wretched girl, on which side are you? Stop talking!"

Ye Mu swept her gaze at the ugly faces of the Ye family. With the exception of Ye Qiwen, their reactions were what Ye Mu had expected. With the mention of money, the masks that covered the hideous faces of the Ye family members could no longer be maintained.

The argument in the living room was soon stuck in a deadlock.

Silence suddenly descended after the short quarrel. Although, Ye Shanhu had something to say as he broke the silence, "Xiao Mu…"

"Uncle…" Gu Yiming turned to look at Ye Shanhu. He broke the stalemate as his sexy lips opened and closed with indifference, "Give the Hua Jing mansion to Ye Mu."

The Ye family was astonished. Ye Qiyi looked towards Gu Yiming and she couldn't hide her feelings of displeasure. She rode the coattails of Gu Yiming's words and said, "Dad, since Xiao Mu wants it. It's okay, I can give it to her."

Give?

Ye Mu sneered. It was something that belonged to her in the first place, the word "give" was unnecessary.

Ye Shanhu's had an unclear look on his face. He took the cigar from the table and said in a cold voice, "Rujun, give the Certificate of Occupancy to Xiao Mu."

"Old Ye…" Yao Rujun glared at Ye Qiyi, obviously, she still wanted to keep the mansion.

"I said give it to her!" Ye Shanhu flared up all of a sudden.

Yao Rujun subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva from shock before she went upstairs to retrieve the Certificate of Occupancy for Ye Mu.

When Ye Mu was about to take it from her, Yao Rujun threw it onto Ye Mu and gritted her teeth, "Take it and go away. From today, the Ye Family has nothing to do with you!"

Ye Mu clenched her fists for she knew how ugly the situation was at the moment. But she still bent over and picked the certificate off the floor. Then, she walked out of the Ye family residence with steady steps.

The doors of the Ye family were closed swiftly after she walked out.

As Ye Mu turned around to look at the Ye family's house. Her bright eyes suddenly turned watery with sadness as she muttered to herself, "Dad, if I ever have the chance in the future, I will take back what was yours…"

"Let's go to Hua Jing district," said Ye Mu dryly as she went into the car and forced a smile at Mo Shen.

Her eyes were red, but Mo Shen did not ask about it and started the car.

The house at Hua Jing only had nothing except for a big bed in the bedroom upstairs.

Even though the house was big, it was empty.

Ye Mu tidied up the house a little. However, when it was time to sleep at night, she looked at the huge bed in awkwardness. Mo Shen lied down on the bed and raised his brows at her, "Not sleeping?"

Ye Mu quickly shook her head and stammered through her reply, "I-I'm not sleepy yet, you can go to sleep first."

"Don't you have a rehearsal for your graduation show tomorrow? Are you sure you're not sleeping?" Mo Shen took a look at the watch on his wrist, and it was difficult to determine his feelings through his dark eyes.

Mo Shen glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was difficult to determine his feelings through his deep and dark eyes.

Ye Mu was startled, "How did you know that I have a rehearsal for my graduation show tomorrow?"

"You told me about it while we were on the way here." Mo Shen's hand clenched into a fist as he coughed rather unnaturally. He felt strange about it for it could be said that he knew her schedule at the tip of his fingertips.

Ye Mu had a confused look on her face. Did she tell him about it?

Before Ye Mu could think about it, she realized Mo Shen's gaze had fallen on her. Her heart skipped a few beats, her face turned slightly red as she lowered her head.

She was starting to stammer through her words before she finally mustered a reply after so much hesitation, "I… I… I'm going out for a breather."

Looking at how she fled hastily, Mo Shen could not help but raise his eyebrows and a smile could be seen at the corner of his mouth.

Ye Mu sat on the small carpet in the living room after getting out of the room. Her eyes were drawn towards the bedroom from time to time. Everything seems so surreal. She… she was really married to someone? And she even married a stranger…

Ye Mu leaned against her knees and glanced at the bedroom from time to time. Eventually, she fell asleep as her exhaustion overcame her body.

When Mo Shen opened the bedroom door, he saw Ye Mu hugging her knees to sleep. He walked over, lifted his hand to stroke her hair, and slowly carried her back to the bedroom.

"Sweet dreams," Mo Shen placed her on the bed and caressed her face with a gentle smile on his handsome face.
