Chapter 718: 153: The person at the top of the heart_1

About this decision, Mu Baicheng had thought for a very long time.

Happiness is self-given.

If he did not make a trip to Qing City, he might never be able to let go.

Although he did not know Lin Guixiang’s address, Mu Baicheng still wanted to try; fate brings people together no matter how far apart, and as long as he and Lin Guixiang were destined, he would definitely meet her in Qing City.

Thinking this, Mu Baicheng felt a surge of strength throughout his body, almost wishing he could fly to Qing City immediately.

Why would a perfectly fine father want to leave the house?

Could it be to find that woman Lin Guixiang?

Mu Xiaoxiao simply could not comprehend why her father would be attracted to an illiterate woman who had not even finished primary school!

It was obvious that she was the kind of woman who wanted to get rich by relying on a man.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao immediately became extremely vigilant, then asked, "Where are you going?"

"On a business trip," Mu Baicheng replied.

When she heard her father was going on a business trip, Mu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Then when are you leaving?"

Mu Baicheng said, "Tomorrow morning."

Mu Xiaoxiao continued, "To which city are you traveling for business?"

"City C," Mu Baicheng replied.

Mu Baicheng knew his daughter had a great animosity toward Lin Guixiang; after all, upon their first meeting, she felt Lin Guixiang was a woman with ill intentions.

So he purposely bought a plane ticket to City C.

Then from City C, he would transfer to Qing City.

After all, these two cities were adjacent to each other; it would only take an hour by high-speed train.

He also had a major project in City C.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao had no suspicions and smiled, "What time is your flight tomorrow morning? I’ll send you off."

"It’s a flight at ten, so we’ll probably have to leave around eight," Mu Baicheng answered.

"Okay," Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, then added, "Oh right, Auntie Hongyu has come to our house for the New Year’s visit. Grandma wants you to come downstairs for a bit."

Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t oppose Fang Hongyu introducing potential partners to her father.

Firstly, Mu Baicheng was also of that age now, and as he got older, having a companion to rely on would be much better than a nanny taking care of him.

Secondly, a new partner could help Mu Baicheng forget Lin Guixiang sooner.

Mu Xiaoxiao certainly did not want to have an illiterate stepmother who couldn’t recognize a single character.

It would be too embarrassing to mention it.

"Got it," Mu Baicheng put the last piece of clothing into his suitcase, "I’ll be down in a moment."

"Then I’ll go down first," Mu Xiaoxiao said.

"Hmm," Mu Baicheng nodded slightly.

Mu Xiaoxiao did not go straight downstairs; instead, she went to the kitchen, brought out a plate of exquisite pastries to the first-floor hall, "Auntie Hongyu, try these butterfly pastries made by our new pastry chef."

"Thank you." Once finished speaking, Fang Hongyu picked up a piece of butterfly pastry to taste and smiled, "It tastes very nice."

Mu Xiaoxiao continued, "Auntie Hongyu, since our families live so close and during the times abroad, my grandmother often spoke of you, you don’t need to be so formal with me."

Fang Hongyu had a full smile on her face.

Old Lady Mu turned her head to look at Mu Xiaoxiao, "Where is your dad?"

"He will be right down," Mu Xiaoxiao said.

As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Baicheng came down from upstairs.

He wore handmade leather shoes, the thick soles making a crisp sound on the wooden floor with each step, reverberating in the air.

It seemed as if each step he took landed right on Fang Hongyu’s heart.

Fang Hongyu looked back.

Though many years had passed, seeing the man she had once liked when she was younger still made her heart flutter uncontrollably.

She thought to herself.

How wonderful it would have been if there had been no obstacle like Fang Youling between them.

"Chengcheng."

"Mom," Mu Baicheng nodded slightly.

Old Lady Mu cheerfully said, "Hongyu is here, why don’t you greet her? Weren’t you two close when you were young?"

Only then did Mu Baicheng turn to look at Fang Hongyu, "Happy New Year."

"Brother Baicheng," Fang Hongyu stood up from her seat, hiding the joy in her eyes, "Happy New Year."

Old Lady Mu continued, "This child Chengcheng has always been taciturn since he was little; you can’t even beat a fart out of him with eight sticks, and he hasn’t changed one bit over the years. Hongyu, don’t take it to heart."

"How could I?" Fang Hongyu replied understandingly, "I grew up with Brother Baicheng; I understand his personality best."

Grew up together?

Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up.

So Fang Hongyu was her father’s childhood sweetheart.

What a pity.

Fang Hongyu already had a family, otherwise, she would have vigorously played matchmaker for them.

Mu Baicheng took a sip of water from his cup.

Old Lady Mu looked at Fang Hongyu and started to get to the point, "Hongyu, didn’t you just say you wanted to play matchmaker for Chengcheng?"

Matchmaking?

Matchmaking again!

Upon hearing this, Mu Baicheng frowned imperceptibly.
