Chapter 269: Chapter 267: Are You Thinking of Me?_1

"Okay, okay, Rourou, one of these days we should also cultivate our feelings with eye contact," Mu Chuyang said, nudging Yan Yirou next to him with his elbow.

Yan Yirou directly rolled her eyes at him.

"Alright, alright, come on, let’s toast to Wanxia’s return!" Kang Xiaolan called out loudly.

"Cheers..." Everyone lifted their glasses simultaneously.

After putting down the glass, Su Wanxia felt a complicated mix of emotions. She really had wasted too much time. Although she loved Mu Yingchen, the days she actually spent by his side were far too few. They were always parting and reuniting. If their hearts hadn’t been so resolute, their love would have turned into bubbles long ago.

And him—he really made her heart ache, ache for his persistence, his fidelity, his love for her!

"Eat more..." While she was lost in her thoughts with her head down, a shiny plate appeared in front of her with a piece of spare rib on it.

She liked spare ribs, as she found them not only delicious but also nutritious.

She couldn’t help but tighten her grip on her chopsticks, her throat choked up as if, whenever she was with him, she was always the one being taken care of.

"Daddy, I want one too—" Shanshan looked at her father with a plaintive gaze from the side. She liked spare ribs too, so why wasn’t he serving her any?

Mu Yingchen immediately realized he hadn’t served the little one yet. Stretching out his hand, he picked up another rib and placed it on Shanshan’s plate, making the little girl chuckle with satisfaction.

Looking at the big table full of people, the scene was incredibly warm.

Mu Yingchen kept taking care of his wife and child, and Mu Feng did the same. Mu Chuyang also kept serving Yan Yirou dishes. It seemed like all the good men were born into the Mu Family, even Ji Hua, the playboy, was influenced by the Mu brothers to become a model good man!

Su Ran, although not in a romantic relationship with Jian Manhui, was still generously piling food onto Jian Manhui’s plate with great consideration and attentiveness.

Jian Manhui couldn’t be bothered with him. If he served, she ate, not saying a word to him.

While one side displayed a harmonious scene, in a hospital room somewhere, Bai Yudie finally had her bandages removed. The ones on her face were all taken off, except for those on her forehead and at the corners of her eyes, where two white patches still remained.

Just as the doctor had said, her injuries hadn’t been severe, mostly superficial wounds that would heal over time.

However, she still wasn’t in a condition to be discharged from the hospital. She had to rest there for a while longer, waiting for the bandages on her forehead and face to be completely removed so that she could leave without any traces left behind.

After the doctors and nurses left, she lay quietly on the hospital bed, feeling unspeakably desolate. She had been lying in the cold hospital room for three days, yet she hadn’t seen even a shadow of that man, and his mother hadn’t come to see her again, let alone the old master of the Mu Family.

It seemed they didn’t like her as much as they showed. Their kindness towards her must have been due to the gratitude they owed her grandfather; they were simply repaying a debt, not truly fond of her!

She couldn’t help but tug at the corner of her slightly bruised mouth, laughing coldly. Whether their affection was genuine didn’t matter. As long as she wanted something, she had to have it. Once she married into the Mu Family, it would be her saying what goes!

Thinking of the wedding a month away, her heart flickered with delight and excitement. The wish of so many years was finally going to come true!

At this moment, she was unaware of the rumors circulating outside these past few days, fantasizing every day about marrying Mu Yingchen, oblivious to the fact that Su Wanxia had returned, and the daughter Mu Yingchen had acknowledged.

----

After lunch, everyone enjoyed afternoon tea in the brilliant sunshine, when Mu Yingchen’s phone rang again during the pleasant moment.

He pulled out his phone and frowned slightly, the last thing he wanted now was to answer a call from his mother. Without a doubt, she was urging him to bring Shanshan back home.

He stood up and walked to the side.

"Mom--"

"Yingchen, didn’t you say you were bringing Shanshan back today? Why haven’t you come back yet? Your grandfather and I miss her terribly. My good son, please bring her back soon, okay?"

Mu Yingchen let out a helpless sigh, then moved further away before speaking, "In the evening, I’ll bring Wanwan and Shanshan back."

As his words fell, there was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

"Otherwise, I’ll just take them back to the villa."

"Alright, come back, all of you come back!" Mu’s mother finally compromised over the phone.

"Mhm." Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but curve his lips upward. He thought his mother had let go of the resentment in her heart and had opened up, but little did he know, this decision to bring Su Wanxia and Shanshan back was a mistake.

Su Wanxia watched his tall and straight figure from a short distance away, her heart suddenly trembling uncontrollably. Her gaze turned misty, and her thoughts seemed to drift back to the evening she met him.

"Mu Yingchen, I want you to be my boyfriend!"

That sentence marked the beginning of their acquaintance. Back then, he wouldn’t even glance at her, choosing instead to walk around her.

At that time, all she wanted was to win over Yan Yirou and the others, never thinking that in the distant future, so much would happen between them, including having a child of their own.

Fate... it’s truly unfathomable, for the more you try to grasp it, the less you understand. You can never predict what will happen next. Will it be joy or sorrow?

If she hadn’t bet with Yan Yirou and the others, if she hadn’t taken the initiative to provoke him, maybe they wouldn’t have suffered so much, and their families might not have had any further interaction.

Perhaps she would have been found by her grandfather and taken away from this city, worlds apart from him, or maybe she would have married someone else, and he too would have married another. Then, they might have met at the same banquet, simply exchanging a faint smile before passing by each other...

Her heart clenched. She suddenly realized that after all the joys and sorrows they went through, she still did not regret meeting him, even though there was much between them.

It seemed that the moment she met him, their fates were tightly intertwined, no matter where they were or how long they were apart, they would meet again and still love each other hopelessly!

Lost in her recollections, Mu Yingchen had already approached her with a smile on his face.

He looked down at Su Wanxia, who was lost in thought, with an indulgent yet blissful smile spreading across his gorgeous lips.

Seeing that she hadn’t noticed him yet, Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but reach out to smooth a strand of hair from her forehead, then spoke with a light chuckle, "Thinking about me?"

Su Wanxia was jolted back to reality, looking at the handsome man in front of her, her heart filled with annoyance. Why couldn’t she control her wandering mind!
