Chapter 298: Chapter 296 Birthday Feast 4_1

"Wanwan..."

Just as Su Wanxia was about to take Shanshan to look for Kang Xiaolan and the others, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

She turned around and saw the handsome and charming Mu Yingchen, radiating magnetism.

"Daddy..." As soon as Shanshan saw Mu Yingchen, she immediately opened her arms and threw herself at him.

Mu Yingchen smiled as he caught her little body.

The sight took all the onlookers by surprise. When had the young master of the Mu Family become so affectionate?

The old master of the Mu Family spotted Shanshan in Mu Yingchen’s arms from a distance, and the smile on his face was impossible to hide.

He chuckled at the people he was talking to and then raised his hand to point in Mu Yingchen’s direction, "See that? That’s my granddaughter-in-law and my great-grandson I just mentioned to you..."

"You’re truly blessed. Your daughter-in-law is capable of holding her own, and your granddaughter-in-law is outstanding too. Look at that little girl, she’s so bright and adorable..."

The old master of the Mu Family laughed heartily at these words. Who doesn’t like to hear flattering things, especially when they’re true?

Su Wanxia watched as Shanshan clung to Mu Yingchen and refused to come down, and she touched her forehead in exasperation. This little miss, as soon as she sees her dad, forgets all about her mom. Such an ungrateful child.

"Shanshan, let’s go find your aunties. Your daddy is very busy." Su Wanxia took two steps forward and helplessly said to Shanshan.

Upon hearing Su Wanxia’s words, Shanshan immediately pouted, "Okay, Daddy, then I’m going with Mommy to find Auntie Manhui and the others~~"

Mu Yingchen glanced at Su Wanxia and then reluctantly nodded at Shanshan, "Alright, after Daddy’s done, I’ll come to find you."

"Mhm."

"There will be an opening dance in a while, I’ll come to find you then." Mu Yingchen gently touched the playful strand of hair in front of Su Wanxia’s forehead and said tenderly.

Su Wanxia blinked and then nodded at him, "Okay, got it~~"

Mu Yingchen silently smiled and then raised his hand to point in a direction, "They’re over there."

Su Wanxia turned to look and vaguely made out some floral arches. So that’s where they were—she thought it was strange she had looked all around and hadn’t seen them!

"Okay, then you go ahead, we’re going over there."

"Mhm." Mu Yingchen gazed at her tenderly and nodded.

Su Wanxia felt a bit overwhelmed. There were so many people watching; could he not look at her with such an intimate gaze?

After Su Wanxia took Shanshan away from Mu Yingchen, people immediately surrounded him again, making it look like it was his birthday celebration.

There was no helping it; the veterans around the old master of the Mu Family were figures of authority. If they wanted to get close, there was no space for it. Now that they finally had a moment with the young master of the Mu Family, how could they let him go easily? Without taking the chance to chat with him and express their admiration for the Mu Family, they would feel as if they’d let themselves down.

Following the direction Mu Yingchen pointed out, indeed, it wasn’t long before Su Wanxia saw several people leisurely swinging on the swing chairs.

She couldn’t help but curl her lips in mock annoyance, "You guys sure are comfortable, hiding over here all by yourselves."

The moment they heard her voice, they all brightened up.

"Yo, the little one came too~~" As soon as Kang Xiaolan saw Shanshan, she immediately got off the swing chair, walked over, and pinched her little cheek.

"Mhm, everyone’s here, and she didn’t want to stay home alone." Su Wanxia said cheerfully. Besides, today was the old master of the Mu Family’s birthday celebration, and if the little miss didn’t come, he would be the first to disagree.

"That’s true..."

"Come here, sweetheart, let Auntie hug you."

"Shanshan, come sit with Auntie..."

Everyone couldn’t resist playing with the little girl when they saw her.

Su Wanxia also approached a swing and carefully sat down on it.

Meanwhile, outside the third ring of C City, Su Qinglong, holding Yaoyao’s hand, slowly walked down from the private jet.

When he set foot on this land, a wave of sorrow involuntarily spread through his heart.

C City was his birthplace, yet more than two decades ago, he had no choice but to leave this heartbreaking place.

Returning here, his feelings were extremely conflicted. Sometimes, he missed his homeland, but the thought of his son and daughter-in-law, who had both passed, kept him from wanting to step foot here again.

Su Qinglong stood still, quietly observing the night, his eyes filled with endless vicissitudes. He couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh, pondering how, after more than twenty years, he truly had grown old...

Yaoyao pursed his lips, looking somewhat perplexed at his great-grandfather. After a while, seeing that he hadn’t snapped out of his reverie, Yaoyao gently called out, "Great-grandpa..."

Su Qinglong was brought back to reality by his little great-grandson’s voice. He shook his head with a smile and sighed again, looking at Yaoyao with a smile, "Yaoyao, this is where your great-grandpa and your mommy grew up."

Yaoyao’s long eyelashes fluttered twice, his delicate little face full of understanding.

He was always intelligent and perceptive, knowing the reason his great-grandfather had brought him back. When Su Qinglong finished talking, he immediately asked, "So where are we going now?" Although his voice was childish, the manner of his questioning was mature and logical.

He had overheard ShanShan during a phone call with his daddy. Since ShanShan was with him, his mommy must be there too.

So his question about where they were headed meant whether to go directly to his mommy, to visit his maternal grandparents first, or to find a place to stay since it had already gotten dark.

Su Qinglong turned to Su Ran and asked.

"Xiaoran, where are Xiaxia and Shanshan right now?" He needed to talk to his granddaughter as soon as possible to prevent her from being bullied by the Mu Family.

"Father-in-law, today is the Mu patriarch’s birthday celebration; they should be at the banquet..."

Su Ran had already made these inquiries well in advance.

Su Qinglong reflected for a moment before asking directly, "Do you know where it is?"

"I do..." Su Ran answered crisply.

If he didn’t know at this time, he believed that the old man’s cane would be itching to greet him.

Su Qinglong nodded, "Let’s go..."

--

Su Wanxia, along with Shanshan and Kang Xiaolan, had been hiding out and enjoying some peace. As more guests arrived and the banquet was about to begin.

"Wanxia, I heard there’s an opening dance. Will you and Mu Yingchen be dancing it?" Yan Yirou asked with a hint of curiosity.

Mu Yingchen rarely danced, and she was unsure if she would be treated to his dancing skills today.

"Isn’t that obvious? With Wanxia here, how could he not dance?" Kang Xiaolan threw Yan Yirou a ’you’re so clueless’ look.

"Kang Xiaolan, does that mean you’re also going to dance a number with your Feng?" Yan Yirou gritted her teeth.

"Of course..."

"You’re already a mother of two, and you still love to join in the fun."

"Hey? Who says being a mom means you can’t join in the fun?"

"Getting out of shape..." Yan Yirou jabbed at both of them with one comment.

"Yan Yirou!" Kang Xiaolan and Su Wanxia exclaimed in unison, their eyes glaring and teeth bared at her.
