Chapter 293: Chapter 291 Long-Distance Love_1

Mu Yingchen was quite satisfied with Ji Hua’s statement and was just about to say, "Let’s set our wedding for this year’s Qixi Festival."

However, the next thing out of Ji Hua’s mouth made him involuntarily grimace.

"You might also consider the Qixi Festival the year after next," Ji Hua said with a full-faced smile. That way, they’d get married before his elder brother—how prestigious!

Su Wanxia immediately nodded vigorously, then looking at the scowling Mu Yingchen said, "The Qixi Festival the year after next isn’t bad either."

Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but reach out and pat her head, "Good girl, don’t listen to his nonsense, we’re getting married this year..."

"Manman, I think the Qixi Festival the year after next is pretty good, how about we set our wedding date for then?"

Su Ran, never one to not shock others, suddenly threw a bombshell at Jian Manhui.

Jian Manhui had been enjoyably watching Su Wanxia and the others struggle with their wedding plans, and it never crossed her mind that Su Ran would suddenly drag her into it.

The others also didn’t expect Su Ran to say such a thing. They really hadn’t seen it coming, that he and Jian Manhui were at the stage of discussing marriage. Maybe they hadn’t even held hands yet!

But luckily, he was talking about the year after next. There were still two years to develop their relationship, which made it somewhat possible. But if he had mentioned this year or next year, Mu Yingchen would have been the first to scorn him!

With Jian Manhui’s view of love as a poisonous substance and marriage as a grave, if you wanted her to rush into marriage, the sun might have to rise from the west!

"Who wants to marry you?!" Jian Manhui gritted her teeth, this man was driving her insane!

"No rush, we still have two years. You’ll agree to marry me," Su Ran said nonchalantly, looking at Jian Manhui as if his declaration that they would marry on the Qixi Festival the year after next was certain.

"I’d be a ghost if I agree to marry you!" Jian Manhui rolled her eyes at him.

"It seems Mr. Su’s journey to win his wife is going to be a long one..." Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but walk over to the table and sit down.

He was feeling proud about getting married this year when he suddenly heard Su Ran’s mocking words, "As long as it may be, it’s still not longer than what the Young Master Mu has gone through. Chasing for so many years and still not married, you have some nerve!"

Su Ran had hit a sore spot for Mu Yingchen, who had tangled with Su Wanxia for over a decade and only finalized their marriage plans a couple of days ago. Now, it was still his own one-sided decision to set the wedding date on Qixi Festival. A longstanding story of unspeakable depth!

They had wasted all their time apart, but, fortunately, after so many hellos and goodbyes, they were finally getting married!

Just thinking of marriage swept away all his bitter feelings.

"So what? We call this a long-term romance. Anyway, we’re getting married soon. As for some people, who knows when they might marry? Might not be till the Year of the Monkey or the Month of the Horse."

Mu Yingchen was incredibly annoyed. He had the nerve to talk when it was his fault that he took Wanxia away, keeping them apart for so long.

When the two men got together, they always had this overt hostility and subtle rivalry, which just made everyone laugh and cry.

With Su Ran still not having won Jian Manhui’s heart, and bickering with the soon-to-be-wed Mu Yingchen, he was certainly at a disadvantage.

He poked at one’s pain, and uncovered the other’s scars, shocking everyone else present.

Su Wanxia couldn’t stand these two when they got together, constantly allying and taking digs at each other, and suddenly slammed the table, "Enough! What’s the point of this, two grown men? Let’s eat and clear out after..."

Once Su Wanxia spoke up, Mu Yingchen stopped talking, and with Mu Yingchen silent, Su Ran alone couldn’t make much of a stand. He pursed his lips and picked up the wine glass on the table to drink.

Throughout the meal, people would come over to Su Wanxia’s table—after all, the big shots were all there. Not to toast a few drinks would be unthinkable. It was a rare opportunity to meet, and maybe they would remember them for any future business collaborations.

Just before the end, Mu Yingchen had already lost track of how many toasts he had received, his handsome face tinged with a rare flush of red, less cold than usual, and more enchantingly alluring, leaving Su Wanxia utterly mesmerized.

No matter when, this man was devastatingly handsome!

A short while later, as guests began to leave, Mu Yingchen, who didn’t want to stay any longer, checked the time and saw it was getting late. He asked Su Wanxia, "Shall we go back...?"

Su Wanxia saw that he had drunk a lot that evening, and as people kept coming over to toast him and Mu Feng, she nodded without hesitation, "Yes, let’s go back."

As soon as they mentioned leaving, several others also stood up from the table, and after being surrounded and chatted up by others for a while, they finally left the hotel.

Since Su Wanxia and Mu Yingchen had arrived late, their car was not parked with Mu Feng’s group, and they split up at the entrance.

Mu Yingchen had drunk quite a bit that night, and without a word, Su Wanxia took the driver’s seat. Mu Yingchen raised an eyebrow but didn’t say much, and went to the other side, opened the car door, and got in.

It had to be said, in the time they’d been together, it was always him driving her, and situations like tonight’s were truly rare.

Mu Yingchen’s head was spinning a little, but he was fully conscious. Leaning his head against the seatback, he watched Su Wanxia drive with serious focus.

When she was focused, she had a deep seductive power. For instance, when she worked, she always managed to captivate him without even trying.

"I know who that person is..."

The car was quiet, his voice somewhat husky, yet still charmingly magnetic.

Su Wanxia had thought he was resting his eyes, but then he suddenly came out with that statement.

Her mind strictly on driving, she didn’t ponder the deeper meaning of his words and asked reflexively, "Which person?"

Mu Yingchen paused for a moment, his lips parting slightly, "Xiang Ziyu..."

Su Wanxia’s heart skipped a beat. He knew who that person was? What exactly did he know?

At that thought, she inwardly cursed herself. She had nothing going on with Xiang Ziyu, what was she feeling guilty for? Was it not just that time he had stolen a kiss from her?

Yet at that time, she wasn’t even with him...

"He’s just a normal friend..." she said confidently, eyes fixed on the road ahead.

Mu Yingchen’s tone was laced with jealousy, "But he kissed you..."

Su Wanxia was suddenly taken aback, though her focus remained ahead, carrying him, she felt pressured...

That incident was only known by her and Xiang Ziyu. At the time, she remembered there were no other people around. How did he find out?

She definitely didn’t think Xiang Ziyu had told him, because Xiang Ziyu wasn’t that kind of person.

Feeling a bit guilty, she hummed a response, and whispered, "But how could that count as a kiss? He just took advantage of my inattention—kissed my forehead for a moment..."

As Su Wanxia spoke, her voice became softer and less confident; she hadn’t expected Mu Yingchen to know about this.

"That doesn’t count?" Mu Yingchen suddenly raised his voice. If it had been anywhere else, he would have punched that man right then!
