Mr. Mu Proposed Again Today
Chapter 295 - 293 Birthday Feast 1_1

Chapter 295: Chapter 293 Birthday Feast 1_1

Su Wanxia inwardly grumbled about Mu Yingchen, but for now, she had no choice but to do as he said.

"Alright then..." She began speaking with some reluctance.

Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but curl his lips up into a smile. Hearing her tone, he could tell how unwilling she was.

But he wasn’t wrong, was he? They were about to get married, and that place was going to be her natal home, wasn’t it?

Upon arriving at the Mu Family’s house, little Shanshan indeed complained with a pout, "Daddy, Mommy, what time is it now? You guys are only just getting back..."

Mu Yingchen stepped forward, slowly crouching in front of her with a light chuckle, "Your mommy and I went to see your maternal grandparents, so we’re a bit late."

"Oh, so you went to see Grandma and Grandpa~~" As soon as Shanshan heard this, the frown on her little face immediately smoothed out.

Mu Yingchen glanced at Su Wanxia standing beside him, and then gave Shanshan a slight smile, "Yeah, otherwise, we wouldn’t have come back this late."

"Hehe..."

The old master Mu and Madam Mu couldn’t help but chuckle softly upon witnessing the conversation between father and daughter.

"Alright, it’s time for lunch; let’s go inside..." Madam Mu said with a warm smile as she looked at the three of them.

"Yeah, let’s go." Mu Yingchen said as he stood up, taking Shanshan by the hand and giving Su Wanxia an eyebrow wag as they walked inside.

Su Wanxia still felt somewhat uneasy inside and smiled at Madam Mu, who was looking at her, then followed them inside.

At the dining table, Madam Mu looked around at everyone with great satisfaction, convinced her decision was right.

"Yingchen, in a few days it will be your grandfather’s birthday, and your mother and grandfather have already planned to announce your marriage with Wanxia on that day. As for the wedding date, do you want to decide it yourselves, or should I find someone to pick a date?"

Madam Mu asked, smiling and seeking their opinion.

Su Wanxia felt a bit anxious upon hearing Madam Mu’s words. Her grandfather hadn’t arrived yet; how was she supposed to respond to this?

As she was entangled in how to reply to Madam Mu, Mu Yingchen suddenly spoke up, "Let’s discuss it with Wanwan first..."

Su Wanxia instantly felt relieved. Thank goodness he said that; otherwise, she genuinely wouldn’t know how to refuse Madam Mu.

Her grandfather had expressly told her to wait for him. If everything was arranged by Mu Yingchen’s mother, there would indeed be an uproar when he arrived.

Madam Mu nodded upon hearing Mu Yingchen’s reply, "Alright then, I’ll leave the date to you. Let me know in advance once you’ve decided, so I can make preparations early."

"Yes, got it, Mom."

So it was settled, and Su Wanxia always felt as if she were dreaming, every day felt so surreal. She could hardly believe that she and he were about to get married.

"Wanxia... about your marriage to Yingchen, does your---grandfather know?" Old Master Mu suddenly asked Su Wanxia.

Su Wanxia paused, then let out a laugh, "Grandfather already knows."

Old Master Mu’s heart skipped a beat. Did that tough old man, Su Qinglong, know?

"Did he say anything?"

Su Wanxia frowned, thinking about it. He did say a lot, but she felt it was better not to share those things with them. Otherwise, Old Master Mu certainly wouldn’t be able to eat his meal in peace.

"Hehe, he didn’t say much, just that he would come over in a few days," Su Wanxia said in a gentle tone.

The old Master Mu suddenly had a sense of foreboding. Come and see? See what? Was it to see her and Yingchen’s marriage, or to consider whether to let her marry Yingchen?

However, he definitely wouldn’t discuss such things in front of the children, "Hehe, okay, okay."

"Mmm." Su Wanxia smiled and nodded at him.

Judging from the time, her grandfather should be arriving soon, perhaps in the next couple of days. Once he arrived, Yaoyao would surely come with him; should she give Mu Yingchen a heads-up beforehand?

She lowered her head and rolled her eyes, pondering for a while, but still felt it was better not to tell him just yet. She would wait until Yaoyao arrived to mention it.

----------

In the blink of an eye, the day of the old Master Mu’s birthday celebration had arrived.

The banquet was set up in the same venue where Mu Yingchen had previously celebrated his birthday.

This birthday banquet was even more grand than the one for Mu Yingchen’s birthday. Senior figures from the business and political spheres, and veteran personalities, many had come from afar to attend his birthday celebration.

A red carpet was laid out, with brilliant lights shining down.

Groups of people laughing and chatting could be seen throughout the venue, old friends who hadn’t seen each other in a long time were reuniting here once again.

The old Master Mu was dressed in a simplistic yet celebratory Tang suit, his face wearing an unending smile. He nodded and expressed his thanks to everyone who arrived, whether they were acquaintances or strangers.

Mu’s mother, on the other hand, was in an elegant wine-red dress, her makeup accentuating her charming, graceful composure, as she was continuously surrounded by the ladies in extravagant attire.

Mu Yingchen had also arrived at the venue early, even earlier than when it had been his own birthday—a testament to his filial devotion.

He was still in a cool black suit, only the tie had been swapped for a dark red one. His handsome face carried a faint smile, polite without being overly familiar, yet it maintained a certain distance from others.

The other brothers of the Mu family had always been hard workers; at the time, all of them with smiles on their faces were at the entrance warmly welcoming the arriving guests.

Front and center on both sides were black-clad bodyguards checking invitations. Less than ten steps away from them was the actual entrance to the venue, with Mu Feng and the butler standing on the left, and Ji Hua and Mu Chuyang standing on the right.

Ji Hua and Mu Chuyang stood together, which was a suitable pairing. They bantered back and forth, showering the passing guests with compliments that left them beaming with joy.

On the other hand, the butler and Mu Feng were comparatively more serious, simply exchanging pleasantries before ushering people inside.

Seeing the lively duo on the opposite side engaging guests in enthusiastic conversation, Mu Feng shook his head helplessly. Why couldn’t those two stick together? There were so many guests to attend to, yet there they were, each holding up one at length, leaving him and the butler to meet most. In truth, they hadn’t welcomed as many guests as he had by himself.

"Oh my, Director Li, this must be your daughter, isn’t she? She has the air of a distinguished young lady from a prominent family..."

Ji Hua’s sycophantic voice once again reached Mu Feng and the butler, prompting Mu Feng to glance over. If Gong Yining saw this, he would just laugh...

Perhaps Ji Hua was too ostentatious, bragging about someone’s daughter’s beauty and grace at that moment, when Gong Yining and Kang Xiaolan coincidentally arrived at the venue’s entrance.

Kang Xiaolan, reveling in malicious glee, watched Ji Hua, who was still engrossed in complimenting the lady. She crossed her arms and huffed twice in amusement.

"Yining, don’t you think it’s time to discipline that guy?"

Gong Yining stood in place, casting an indifferent glance towards Ji Hua not far off; upon hearing Kang Xiaolan’s words, she elegantly curled up the corners of her mouth and then walked in Ji Hua’s direction.

Mu Chuyang, with his sharp eyes, spotted Kang Xiaolan and her party, and he immediately coughed lightly, nudging Ji Hua with his arm.

Meanwhile, he felt silently relieved; thankfully, the guest he had just received was a gentleman. Otherwise—his gaze shifted to Gong Yining approaching—otherwise, his own partner was far more brutal than Gong Yining!
