Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Whether We Can Have Good Days or Not Depends on Tonight!

Mu Yunlie said, "You guys go ahead, I won’t be going."

"We two singing would be so boring," Mu Huaner cooed. "Ah Lie, come on, keep little aunt company."

Mu Yunlie frowned, "Little aunt, you know I don’t like that sort of place."

All evening long, Ning Nuan and Mu Huaner chatted about girl stuff. He sat between them, uninterested in the conversation, and could only drink silently on his own.

Several times he felt a strong urge to go out and see just how much fun that heartless woman was having.

Mu Huaner pouted, "You really are no fun anymore, not as cute as when you were little, always drinking alone."

Mu Yunlie faintly tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Tonight he had indeed drunk a bit too much, his eyes beginning to show signs of intoxication.

He picked up his glass again and emptied it in one gulp.

The liquor burned down his throat, igniting the impulsive fire within.

"I’m leaving now."

No longer able to hold back, Mu Yunlie grabbed his coat and hurried out.

Watching his retreating figure, Mu Huaner sighed helplessly, "The older Ah Lie gets, the further away he is from me, sigh."

Ning Nuan smiled gently, "Little aunt, Brother Ah Lie has always been like this, you should understand him better than I do. In his heart, the most important people besides his grandparents are just you."

But Mu Huaner’s brow furrowed, "But now, there’s someone else even more important in his heart."

Ning Nuan was startled, "Are you talking about Qianyi?"

Mu Huaner nodded, taking Ning Nuan’s hand with concern. "Nuannuan, can you really accept this? Are you really giving up?"

Ning Nuan bowed her head, saying nothing.

Mu Huaner added, "You’ve liked him since you were young. I don’t believe that you can bear to watch him be with Yan Qianyi."

Ning Nuan raised her head, struggling to smile, "Little aunt, what good is it to be unwilling? In this world, not everything can go as one wishes. As long as Brother Ah Lie is happy, I’m fine with anything."

"You are so sensible it breaks my heart," Mu Huaner hugged Ning Nuan.

Ever since she was young, Ning Nuan had been gentle, considerate, and empathetic, which is why Mu Huaner was so fond of her.

Suddenly, Mu Huaner gripped Ning Nuan’s shoulders excitedly.

"Take him back from Yan Qianyi! I’ll help you! Anyway, I won’t be leaving the Federation Empire any time soon. Speaking of which, if I hadn’t left for two years, how could Yan Qianyi have snagged such a great opportunity."

Ning Nuan was taken aback, shaking her head hastily, "Little aunt, I don’t want to do anything that Brother Ah Lie would hate."

Mu Huaner patted Ning Nuan’s shoulder, "You don’t have to do anything, leave it to me!"

Ning Nuan remained silent.

After leaving the private room, Mu Yunlie looked around the hall’s VIP seats.

The waiter came up and inquired, "Good evening, sir, is there anything I can do for you?"

Mu Yunlie looked around, "Were there a group of students here just now?"

After a thought, the waiter replied, "There were four young people eating here earlier, but I don’t know if they were students."

Mu Yunlie asked urgently, "Where are they now?"

"They just left."

Before the waiter could finish speaking, Mu Yunlie rushed out.

Stepping outside the venue, he didn’t see Yan Qianyi anywhere.

Pei Yuexuan approached, asking, "Sir, do you want to go home now?"

Mu Yunlie inquired, "Have you seen Yan Qianyi?"

"Madam?" Pei Yuexuan shook his head, "I haven’t seen her. Was she here?"

Mu Yunlie gritted his teeth, "What are your eyes for?"

"..." Pei Yuexuan looked innocent.

He had been waiting in the car all the time and indeed hadn’t seen Madam.

Mu Yunlie strode toward the car parked by the roadside.

Pei Yuexuan hurriedly stepped forward to open the car door for him.

After getting in the car, Mu Yunlie said, "Go to her house."

"Okay!" Pei Yuexuan nodded and quickly started the car.

Whether he could have a good day after this proactive visit to Madam would all depend on tonight!

Aunt Xue was very happy to see Mu Yunlie arrive, "Son-in-law, you’re here!"

Mu Yunlie’s gaze swept around the hall, "Where is she?"

"Miss hasn’t come back yet. I’ll contact her right away."

"No need, I’ll wait for her in the room; bring me a bottle of wine," Mu Yunlie said, then headed upstairs.

He really wanted to see how late she would play with her classmates before coming home!

Hesitating for a moment, Aunt Xue still sent Yan Qianyi a message, "Miss, the son-in-law is here. You should come back earlier."

Yan Qianyi was singing her heart out and didn’t notice the message at all.

The four of them were having a great time in the KTV. Yun Mu, who was always serious, let loose tonight and competed for the mic to sing.

When Xue Xiaoguang sang, Yan Chuhua disdainfully covered her ears.

Because Xue Xiaoguang was tone-deaf and was screaming at the top of his lungs, his singing was a deafening cacophony.

When it was Yun Mu’s turn to sing, Yan Chuhua watched him with stars in her eyes.

Yun Mu’s voice was somewhat deep and soft, and his rendition of the love song, with its twists and turns, was moving and resonated in Yan Chuhua’s heart.

In the dimly lit private room, it was only then she could muster the courage to gaze at him like this.

But the eyes of unrequited love were still captured by Yan Qianyi.

Yan Qianyi leaned her head hazily on Yan Chuhua’s shoulder, "Chu Hua, go for what you like boldly."

Yan Chuhua blushed and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Don’t pretend in front of me; I know your feelings for Yun Mu. Face your heart directly and go for it courageously. Charge!"

"And have you faced your heart?"

Faced with Yan Chuhua’s soul-searching question, Yan Qianyi was at a loss for words.

She stood up and walked away, picked up a bottle of wine, and approached Xue Xiaoguang, who was selecting songs.

"Xiaoguang, if you sing so badly, then don’t sing. Come on, let’s drink instead."

"Sis, I sing badly because it’s my first time singing in a place like this. I’ll get better with a bit more practice."

"First time?"

"Yeah, I couldn’t even afford to eat properly before, let alone afford to entertain in places like this."

"That’s quite pitiable." Yan Qianyi poured a glass of wine for Xue Xiaoguang, "Let’s drink to your pitiable situation!"

"..." Xue Xiaoguang.

Is that even worth a toast?

Yan Chuhua glanced at Yan Qianyi then turned her attention back to Yun Mu.

In fact, she had always faced her own heart directly; she was clear about her feelings for Yun Mu.

If Yun Mu’s affections weren’t for Qianyi, she would have boldly confessed by now.

But unfortunately, the person he liked was Qianyi.

So she couldn’t.

She was afraid that if she spoke out, she might lose two good friends at once.

The way things were now was fine; she was already content.

Not everything one likes must be obtained.

Just quietly watching from afar and being there was also a form of happiness.

After eating cake at midnight, they left.

Today was Friday, and the school had lifted the curfew. Yan Chuhua and her two friends went back to school, while Yan Qianyi called a designated driver to go home.

Once inside the school gates, Yun Mu said to Xue Xiaoguang, "You go back first; I’ll walk Chu Hua."
