Mu Yunxiao glared at the retreating back of Mu Jiu Chen, his eyebrows raised, his face filled with displeasure and anger. "Mu Jiu Chen, you come back here. This matter started because of you, and you must resolve it."
Mu Jiu Chen suddenly stopped, turned his head slightly, and a sarcastic smile curved his sensual lips.
"What does this have to do with me? I'm also a victim. Not having this young lady apologize to me is already my magnanimity. Whoever brings someone is responsible for resolving the issue. Don't just push every problem onto me?"
Immediately after, his tall and upright voice continued without any pause as he turned and left.
Lu Qiao Yi parted her lips, her face pale, unable to utter a single word.
The banquet was also drawing to a close. The guests did not wish to meddle further; they left after the show was over.
Everyone bid farewell to the Mu family and departed.
Tang Zi Yi came out to use the restroom with her daughter and happened to miss the preceding scene.
She coincidentally encountered Mu Jiu Chen and the others.
Seeing only a few grown men and not Jiang Yu Kuo, she was anxious.
"Ninth Master, where is my son?"
Mu Jiu Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "Madam Xia, that's not your son."
Had Tang Zi Yi also come to fight Mu Jiu Chen for his son?
"He is now. Ninth Master, I'm telling you, I'll go find Nuan Nuan tomorrow. I, Tang Zi Yi, will be his son's godmother!"
"Yes, I also like Kuo Bao and Qing Bao. May Yun Bao become our family member," Xia Ying Ying also said happily, her small face smiling sweetly.
Mu Jiu Chen: "..." Who agreed to this? Tang Zi Yi was too shameless, snatching up three at once. He hadn't even secured one yet.
Mu Jiu Chen pursed his lips and remained silent. He was very angry. How could he not be angry when someone was trying to take his sons?
"Mu Jiu Chen, where is my son?" Tang Zi Yi was anxious at not seeing him.
This precious darling, what if he was poached by someone else the moment she turned around?
"Sent back. Madam Xia, you should also take Ying Ying back."
"Who sent him?" Tang Zi Yi was very angry. Why was he sending away the person she brought?
Mu Jiu Chen looked at the angry Tang Zi Yi with a calm expression. "Kuo Bao is also my guest. There was a slight incident in the main hall, and it wasn't suitable for children to see, so I sent him away early."
Xiao Fan: "..." Master, are you making it up?
Tang Zi Yi's phone suddenly rang. She looked down. "Oh, it's Kuo Bao."
Mu Jiu Chen felt a pang of sourness. This kid, he'd rather call Tang Zi Yi than call him to report his safety.
"Ah! We're almost home. Okay, Kuo Bao, see you next week, darling. Mom loves you!" Tang Zi Yi smiled as if Jiang Yu Kuo were a giant money tree for her.
Mu Jiu Chen glared at him through gritted teeth and turned to leave.
Tang Zi Yi ignored the cold Mu Jiu Chen and turned to call her husband to report her safety.
After Mu Jiu Chen got into the car, Li Qing Shuo also followed and sat in.
He looked resentful and started complaining incessantly. "Oh dear! I wanted to have a nice meal, but in the end, I didn't even get a sip of water."
Xiao Fan handed him a bottle of water. "Brother Li, have some water."
"Thanks!" Li Qing Shuo took the water, unscrewed it, and tilted his head back, revealing his sensual throat. The handsome man made even drinking water lethal.
Xiao Fan also mimicked Li Qing Shuo by tilting his head back, but he always felt his neck wasn't as long, and this action was easily choked.
Forget it, he wasn't worthy. He'd just obediently be himself.
"Buzz buzz..." Mu Jiu Chen's phone vibrated.
Mu Jiu Chen looked down. It was from Jiang Yu Kuo: [Arrived home safely. Not reporting my safety to you, but to prevent you from calling and disturbing my family.]
Mu Jiu Chen's gloomy mood instantly brightened.
This kid really had spirit!
Xiao Fan turned to look at Mu Jiu Chen. "Master, I saw everything that happened tonight. The Second Young Master isn't as foolish as he appears."
Mu Jiu Chen glanced at him dismissively, a slight curve to his lips. "Mu Si Chen is Tan Xue's son. How foolish can he be? Lu Qiao Yi's inability to suppress her desires is also an opportunity for Mu Si Chen to turn things around."
What cannot be obtained must be destroyed; this was Tan Xue's consistent style, and her son had naturally learned it all.
"Drive. Let's go back and rest." Mu Jiu Chen shifted into a comfortable position and closed his eyes to rest. He was very tired.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw Jiang Nuan's leisurely, calm, and devastatingly beautiful face.
Mu Jiu Chen's heart suddenly tightened. Jiang Nuan, next time you pass by, can you not steal my soul and take me with you!
Recalling every moment of Jiang Nuan, every frame was so heart-stirring.
The more Mu Jiu Chen thought about it, the more restless he became, wishing he could tie Jiang Nuan up and take her home.
His heart was restless with desire, and his hands involuntarily clenched into fists. He suddenly grabbed Li Qing Shuo's thigh, pinching and squeezing. Li Qing Shuo, who was engrossed in conversation with Xiao Fan, suddenly let out a scream.
"Ah... Mu Jiu Chen, why the hell are you pinching me? That's a nerve, it hurts a lot."
Mu Jiu Chen's eyes snapped open. He awkwardly let go, his defeated expression evident.
Jiang Nuan, you heart-igniting arsonist, you start a fire and then run away, you're simply not human.
"Mu Jiu Chen, what are you doing?" Li Qing Shuo looked at him inquisitively, still rubbing the spot where he was pinched.
Mu Jiu Chen pursed his lips. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Qing Shuo say.
"Don't say sorry. You have to suffer the same pain as me to be considered an apology."
Mu Jiu Chen: "..." He was just about to apologize, but now, there was no need.
He leisurely closed his eyes again and began to pretend to sleep.
Li Qing Shuo looked him up and down with some curiosity. "Mu Jiu Chen, you pinched me for no reason, and now you're going to sleep again. Do you have somnambulism?"
Li Qing Shuo continued to rub the spot that ached from being pinched.
How could he have pinched so hard? The flesh was almost falling off.
Mu Jiu Chen remained silent, thinking to himself, just consider me a sleepwalker, hehe... Is there any better explanation?
Mu Jiu Chen didn't speak, and Li Qing Shuo truly took him for a sleepwalker.
Xiao Fan, who was driving, looked at him sympathetically.
This Li Qing Shuo's mind was truly simple. Master was clearly overly agitated just now. He must have remembered some inappropriate moment from six years ago.
Heh heh... Jiang Nuan is truly remarkable. Master is going crazy for her. Others might not see it, but he does.
However, thinking about Mu Si Chen's actions tonight, he suddenly realized that this Second Young Master wasn't as useless as he appeared on the surface.
When Mu Jiu Chen returned home, he bathed and rested. As for the events happening in the Mu family, he had no extra energy to pay attention to them.
Mu Xue eventually took Lu Qiao Yi and left the Mu family in disgrace.
How could Mu Xue have imagined that the Mu family wouldn't even give the Lu family face?
Fortunately, no one would spread this matter. The people who came tonight had some business dealings with the Mu family, and to avoid affecting their businesses, they wouldn't speak carelessly.
And that night, as soon as Mu Jiu Chen lay down, he fell asleep. He had a dream, a dream from six years ago, a passionate night with Jiang Nuan. He remembered how addicted he was, unable to stop himself again and again. Her pleading voice echoed in his ears, stimulating every nerve in his body to boil.
