Chapter 492: Chapter 490 Girlfriend_1

Ji Hua was so angry...

Truly furious...

But when he thought back to what Kang Xiaolan had said, he felt there was some truth to it. At his age, which was just the right time for maintenance, he couldn’t let anger overwhelm him, or he would indeed age very easily...

If he got old, what would he do if his Xiaoning didn’t love him anymore?

With that thought, he forcefully suppressed the gloom in his heart; he wasn’t old, so he wasn’t going to get angry...

Before long, Mu Tianyi arrived with another wealthy young master...

"Tianyi, your parents haven’t finished their trip around the world?" Ji Hua looked at Mu Tianyi, who had arrived alone, and couldn’t help but ask with a frown.

A couple of days ago, that guy Mu Chuyang even called him saying they would return in a few days. And what happened? What about the promised double gift for the banquet? Why did only Mu Tianyi, the kid, show up?

Ji Hua was feeling annoyed inside...

"Hehe, Uncle Hua, they did say they were coming back the day before yesterday, but then my mom said she wanted to go to Tibet for a bit, so it might be another half month..." Mu Tianyi said with a smile.

Ji Hua felt a stab of pain, it seemed that the double gift was not happening...

Seeing Ji Hua’s gloomy face, Mu Tianyi leaned in and continued, "But don’t worry, my dad said a double gift is a double gift..."

After hearing Mu Chuyang’s words, the sullenness in Ji Hua’s heart finally dissipated a bit.

"Hehe... I was just kidding when I made that bet with your dad, and he actually took it seriously..."

"He said to split my portion into two as a way to fulfill his promise to you and told you not to look down on it. He also said when he and my mom get back, they’d like to take you out to dinner..."

Ji Hua felt like he could cough up blood and die...

That Mu Chuyang!

Losing a bet and then trying to weasel out of it with him!

"Yunqing... why don’t you go inside with Tianyi? I’ll just stay out here with your dad..." Gong Yining said softly to Ji Yunqing, who was reveling in schadenfreude.

"Mm... Brother Zisu hasn’t arrived yet, let me wait for him and then I’ll go in with him..."

"Yaoyao is coming?" Ji Hua looked at his son with some skepticism. That guy disliked lively events so much, he wouldn’t even host his own birthday party. Would he actually take the initiative to join in the hustle this time?

"Why wouldn’t he come? He’ll definitely show up!" Ji Yunqing said with absolute certainty.

"Uncle Hua, Brother Zisu will definitely come. Let Tianyi wait here for him, I’ll go in first..."

Ji Hua was still doubtful, "Alright then... go inside and help me look after the guests with Shiming..."

"No problem..."

With that, Mu Tianyi walked inside with a cheerful smile.

"Kid, I heard you say something about Yaoyao and his secretary getting cozy lately, is that true or just a rumor?" Ji Hua asked Ji Yunqing skeptically.

Everybody knew what Yaoyao was like; to him, women were as good as invisible, so how could he suddenly start getting cozy with his secretary?

Ji Yunqing first glanced into the distance, not spotting Mu Zisu’s figure arriving, then whispered to Ji Hua, "It couldn’t be any truer..."

Ji Hua pursed his lips, his expression clearly showing disbelief...

Gong Yining, observing the father and son whispering to each other, couldn’t help but shake her head in resignation. She had profound admiration for these two...

Looking up again, her eyes suddenly lit up...

With a smile, he stepped forward to greet them...

"Yaoyao..."

"Aunt Yining..." Mu Zisu had always had an excellent impression of Gong Yining from his childhood. She wasn’t like Yan Yirou and Kang Xiaolan who used to always hug him and squeeze his face when he was little.

Gong Yining smiled warmly at him, nodding her head before turning her gaze to Na Xiaoxiao, who stood by his side...

Actually, attending various banquets with a female companion by one’s side couldn’t be more normal.

Yet, Gong Yining broke convention by asking about Na Xiaoxiao’s identity...

"Yaoyao... who is this...?"

Tonight, Na Xiaoxiao was dressed to turn heads—

She wore a striking red dress that hugged her delightful figure, her long black hair half-tied in a simple style with the rest cascading down, small crystal droplets adorning her delicate earlobes, indescribably elegant and charming...

Her pure and beautiful face was painted with a delicate light makeup, her long curled lashes, and clear big eyes, made her look like a fairy fallen to earth, overwhelmingly endearing...

Mu Zisu turned his head to look at Na Xiaoxiao beside him, his eyes deepening, then said with a tranquil sureness, "Na Xiaoxiao..."

Gong Yining’s eyes shone even brighter...

But before she could speak, Mu Zisu unexpectedly added three more words: "My girlfriend..."

These three words thunderstruck everyone present, including Na Xiaoxiao herself, who was stunned for a long time by Mu Zisu’s words...

Girlfriend?

He actually called her his girlfriend?

A touch of sourness welled up in Na Xiaoxiao’s heart; these past days, she thought he no longer cared about their relationship, but to her surprise...

Gong Yining went from shocked to delighted upon hearing Mu Zisu’s declaration. She sized up Na Xiaoxiao from head to toe, nodding to herself internally, not expecting that this was the daughter-in-law Wanxia had chosen for Yaoyao...

She really acted fast; without them realizing, she had managed to secure her son, who had a severe case of mysophobia towards women...

Behind Gong Yining, Ji Hua let out an exaggerated exclamation, striding forward, staring intently at Na Xiaoxiao, disbelieving as he questioned Mu Zisu, "Yaoyao... you’re saying she’s your girlfriend?"

Mu Zisu, feeling helpless, said nothing. On the other hand, Gong Yining chided, "Why such a fuss? Don’t lose your manners..." Ji Hua didn’t know about the women’s matters, so he was clueless about Na Xiaoxiao’s status.

He had simply thought Na Xiaoxiao was just Mu Zisu’s secretary.

Ji Yunqing was equally taken aback; he knew there was a secret between Mu Zisu and Na Xiaoxiao, but he didn’t expect that their relationship had so quickly become that of an actual couple.

People need to understand that the status of a girlfriend is different from that of any female companion, secretary, or lover, among other various complicated relationships!

Moreover, being recognized as Mu Zisu’s girlfriend was no small matter!

A girlfriend is someone who has a very high chance of getting promoted to wife!

That status, that position, couldn’t be sighed over with just a word or two!

Mu Zisu knew they would react that way, but once he had made his decision, he stood by it. He wouldn’t hide her away; he would introduce her to his family and friends on suitable occasions.

He wanted to integrate her into his circle of life and hoped that his family and friends would accept and like her...

Then, looking at Na Xiaoxiao, he reached out his hand, making the introductions, "Uncle Hua, Aunt Yining..."

Ji Yunqing felt somewhat aggrieved; how could he be left out so directly, he was, after all, the birthday celebrant tonight. Even if they knew each other, a brief introduction as a gesture wouldn’t have hurt...
