Chapter 299: Chapter 297 The Prince Returns 1_1

Yan Yirou had not expected her casual remark to ruffle the feathers of these two moms, so she chuckled, "I’m just joking, don’t take it seriously, haha. Besides, you are both hot mamas; there’s no way you’re out of shape, hehe."

"I hope you don’t get out of shape when you have kids..." Kang Xiaolan drawled in response.

Yan Yirou’s forehead twitched; was it really necessary to curse her just because she was a bit chubby?

"Kang Xiaolan, how could you be so vicious!" Yan Yirou glared.

"Hehe, no, I was just joking, don’t take it seriously, haha..." Kang Xiaolan maliciously used Yan Yirou’s own tactic against her, leaving Yan Yirou inwardly seething.

Su Wanxia found it amusing to watch the two giving each other the stink eye, shaking her head at their antics.

When the evening of the banquet arrived and the host announced the start of the opening dance, Yan Yirou had a sullen look on her face, worried about getting out of shape after having kids in the future.

Miraculously, as if they had conspired together, several gentlemen appeared simultaneously in front of their female comrades.

"Wanwan, let’s go..." Mu Yingchen was the first to extend his hand to Su Wanxia on the swing, gentlemanly and with a tender gaze.

Su Wanxia smiled softly and slowly placed her hand in Mu Yingchen’s palm.

With a gentle pull from Mu Yingchen, Su Wanxia smoothly stood up from the swing.

Mu Feng went to take his wife’s hand, and Mu Chuyang went to take his wife’s, but when Ji Hua went to take Gong Yining’s hand, she shockingly said something that stunned everyone: "I think your dancing is too poor; come invite me again when you’ve practiced enough..."

Su Wanxia and the others secretly praised Gong Yining for her cutting remarks. Among those present, no one probably danced better than Gong Yining, who had trained as a dancer. But what was going on with her today? Not only did she reject Ji Hua, she also made such a harsh comment.

Su Wanxia had no idea what was happening, but the others did. It was all because Ji Hua couldn’t stop flirting with others and was caught red-handed by Gong Yining.

Ji Hua’s face, once full of delight, suddenly turned bitter. He knew his wife was sulking.

But when he complimented another woman on being beautiful, it was merely a formality and didn’t mean he actually found her beautiful.

"Xiaoning, don’t be like this, I was wrong, I’ll never talk carelessly again." Ji Hua pleaded pitifully, pressing Gong Yining’s hand to his lips.

With his words, the others could no longer stomach the mushy scene and one by one began leading their spouses toward the center of the dance floor.

Without Su Ran around, Jian Manhui finally had some peace. She and Shanshan edged toward the direction of the dance floor, watching the couples move toward the center. Her thoughts inevitably wandered back to Su Ran.

If he were here, would he also take her hand and dance?

"Aunty Manman, look, daddy and mommy are over there..." Shanshan suddenly shook her hand excitedly, snapping her back to reality.

She touched her forehead in shock, unable to believe she had drifted off thinking about a man once more!

Oh my! What was going on? Why did that man keep popping up in her mind?

"Aunty Manman, what’s wrong?" Shanshan looked up at her, calling out curiously.

"Oh, hehe, nothing. What did you say?" she asked apologetically with an embarrassed smile to Little Shanshan.

Shanshan stared at her curiously for a while. Jian Manhui felt unusually transparent, but she reconsidered; how could Shanshan, so young, realize what she was thinking?

However, Shanshan’s next words shocked Jian Manhui into widening her eyes.

"Aunty Manman, are you thinking about Uncle Ran?" Shanshan blinked her big, sparkling eyes.

Jian Manhui suddenly burst into dry laughter, "Miss him? How could that be possible?"

"Then what are you thinking about?"

"I—I was wondering how many people came to the banquet today, how many entered the dance floor to dance. Now you know?"

"Really?"

"Yes," Jian Manhui nodded firmly.

"Okay, I thought you were thinking about Uncle Ran." As Shanshan spoke, her voice trailed off.

But these words made Jian Manhui’s heart waver again--

"Hehe, look quick, there’s your daddy and mommy over there," Jian Manhui suddenly pointed in a direction.

Shanshan’s spirits lifted immediately, looking in the direction Jian Manhui pointed, she had also seen them just now.

Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia were moving in perfect unison under the cascades of pale yellow light, their dance steps grace personified, intermittently illuminated and shadowed.

To dance a complete dance with the one you love, what a blissful and romantic thing it is.

With their hearts in sync, he escorted her, she followed him, weaving effortlessly among the dancing couples, their affection palpable.

Ji Hua finally succeeded in appeasing his wife and joined the center of the dance floor, fashionably late.

The elders of the Mu family and the Su family stood together, watching the couple dance gracefully in the ballroom and immediately nodded their heads in joy.

It was truly a joy to see the two children finally together.

When the dance ended, everyone was still immersed in the beauty they had just experienced.

The host’s voice once again rose from the podium, and as he invited Old Master Mu to the stage, a thunderous round of applause erupted from below.

Old Master Mu, with a smile all over his face, listened to the roaring applause from below and casually raised his hand to signal, and instantly, the noise ceased.

"I’m very grateful to everyone for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my birthday banquet."

At the end of his words, enthusiastic applause burst forth once more from below, and when it subsided again, he continued, "Taking advantage of this occasion, I have an announcement of great joy to share with all of you..."

As soon as he spoke, the crowd below started to speculate wildly. The news must be related to the wedding of Old Master Mu’s grandson, but who would be the chosen lady—Miss Bai announced by Old Master Mu, or Miss Su, the child’s mother who had already arrived at the scene?

What was more puzzling to them was the absence of Miss Bai, which unavoidably swayed the public’s guess toward Su Wanxia as the bride of the young Master Mu.

In the midst of everyone’s anticipation, Old Master Mu slowly began, "It is that my grandson Mu Yingchen will soon be wed to the daughter of the Su family, Su Wanxia..."

As his words fell, a buzz of discussion arose from below, indeed, it was Miss Su!

It seemed their premonitions were correct. Just what kind of virtuous ancestors did the Su family have to marry their daughter to Young Master Mu, a dream sought after by so many!

As everyone was marveling, the doors of the venue were suddenly flung open with a bang, accompanied by a rebellious voice that made a forceful entrance.

"Mu Zetian, you old fox, my granddaughter isn’t someone your Mu family can just marry off as you please!"
