Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Put on the wedding dress tonight, I’ll give you a surprise

As An Yan anticipated, the period was calm.

She sipped her coffee, enjoying the contentment of the setting sun and looked at Su Yue reviewing documents, "Is there a problem?"

Su Yue examined the new winter design drafts to her left, then looked at the initial and revised drafts for the competition to her right, full of admiration, "Galaxy truly is a world-class designer. The preliminary round starts tonight, and I’ll upload your drafts directly to the official website."

An Yan smiled faintly, "I really appreciate it, thank you for your hard work."

Su Yue pretended not to understand the dig and chuckled, "Why that’s nothing, what’s my effort compared to yours, tirelessly creating designs? I just help with the upload. But are you really going to participate as Mu Anyan? I’m worried someone inside might eliminate you outright."

"I’ve contacted the competition committee as Galaxy, this year’s preliminaries and semi-finals will be online public voting. I’ve programmed a system that won’t allow anyone to cheat."

Su Yue couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, "I find all words of praise for you seem so pale and weak. An Yan, you’re the goddess in my heart."

An Yan gave her a sidelong glance, "I wonder who was calling me a ’goddess with a mental disorder’ back then."

Su Yue sighed, "Wasn’t that because you were so infatuated with Old Dog Fu at the time that I scolded you! By the way, have you discovered anything new in the past half a month?"

An Yan shook her head, "Nothing, this person is too cunning. Zhuo An hasn’t found anything new either. It’s highly likely that this person is in touch with her alone. After all these years, I can’t think of anyone in the studio who might be playing both sides."

Just then, someone pushed the door open.

Su Yue was about to say something but instantly shut her mouth.

Ruan Qingqing came in with a tray carrying two cups of hot chocolate.

She placed the tray on the table, "I made these for you two, drink them while they’re hot."

An Yan took a cup, "Thank you."

Ruan Qingqing handed the other cup to Su Yue, "This one’s for you."

Su Yue, "Thank you."

Ruan Qingqing picked up the tray, "I’ll be outside then, just call me if you need anything."

Once Ruan Qingqing closed the door, Su Yue spoke softly, "Do you think it might be one of those S-level designers behind this? After all, only a few people know you’re competing."

An Yan took a sip of her hot chocolate, "I’m not sure."

Su Yue snorted lightly, "When we were selecting in the meeting, everyone seemed genuinely convinced by your work, but as soon as they turned around, they betrayed you. Such lack of virtue! If I find out who it is, I’ll make sure they’re banished from the design circle!"

"It’s okay, the preliminaries and semi-finals are all about choosing the best drafts, not about the contestant’s background, but the finals might be different, it’s quite murky." An Yan’s eyes darkened, "And MC will definitely cause trouble."

Su Yue scoffed, "Let’s see what kind of waves they can stir up!"

After chatting for a while longer, An Yan’s phone buzzed.

She picked it up and saw it was Fu Shiyan.

Answering the call, the man’s low mellow magnetic voice came through, "We’ve arrived."

An Yan replied cheerily and hung up after confirming, then looked at Su Yue, "My third brother is coming back tonight, I’m going back to the Mu Family. How about going to the amusement park this weekend?"

Su Yue nodded, "Sure, let’s get in touch the night before."

An Yan stood up and waved at her, "I’m off."

Su Yue watched the door close and took a sip of her hot chocolate, muttering, "Which bastard leaked the secret?"

An Yan returned to her office, put on her trench coat, took the bag containing the wedding dress, locked the office door, and left.

While waiting for the elevator, she ran into Ruan Qingqing.

The two entered the lift together.

"Mr. Fu came to pick you up?"

An Yan smiled faintly, "After picking up Anan and Yanyan, he came to get me. My third brother is coming back tonight, we’re going back to the Mu Family."

Ruan Qingqing’s eyes and brows softened, "Movie King Mu is back, it seems like the new movie is wrapped up. Fu Jinqiao must be thrilled, right?"

"Of course, she must have been choosing clothes at home all day."

Ruan Qingqing’s eyes showed envy, "I really envy you, An Yan, having such a wonderful family."

"Don’t envy others, one day you too will meet someone who cherishes you, and their family will be your family as well."

Ruan Qingqing nodded, "I hope that day comes soon."

An Yan just smiled, "It will."

The elevator reached the ground floor, the doors opened, and they walked out together.

Exiting the main entrance, they saw Fu Shiyan leaning against the car door, waiting for An Yan, with two little ones by his side.

The two children happily ran towards An Yan, clinging to her waist without letting go, affectionately calling her mom.

Fu Shiyan, wearing a black trench coat, was tall and straight, giving him an aura of efficiency and severity.

But the loving peach blossom eyes, with slightly curved eyelids, looked at An Yan with such tenderness that they softened his sharp and stern features, making him exceptionally handsome.

He approached her, his voice soft, "Tired?"

An Yan nodded, "Exhausted."

"I’ll give you a massage when we get home." Fu Shiyan took her hand, "Let’s go."

An Yan nodded and looked at the two little ones, "Say goodbye to Auntie Qingqing."

Fu Mu’an and Fu Jinyan waved goodbye to Ruan Qingqing.

"Bye-bye, Auntie Qingqing!"

"Bye-bye, Auntie Qingqing!"

Ruan Qingqing waved back at them, then said her farewells to An Yan and Fu Shiyan.

She didn’t head for the parking lot until she had watched the family get in the car and merge into traffic.

Mu Family manor.

By the time An Yan and her group arrived, Xu Wanqing and Mu Hongsheng stood at the doorway, eagerly looking out.

Fu Mu’an was scooped up by Xu Wanqing, while Fu Jinyan was picked up by Mu Hongsheng.

Mu Hongsheng hefted him and said, "This little stinker has gotten heavier again."

Fu Jinyan pouted, "I should’ve gone to grandma to carry me. Grandpa says this every now and then; it’s so discouraging. Brother is so cunning, always getting to grandma first."

Mu Hongsheng burst into laughter, "So I’m just the backup choice, is that right, Anan?"

Fu Mu’an waved his index finger, "Of course not, Yanyan really has gained weight. I chose grandma to carry me because grandpa is stronger, otherwise grandma would get tired."

Fu Jinyan: "..."

Xu Wanqing kissed Fu Mu’an’s little face, "Anan’s sweet talk is really something."

Fu Jinyan rolled his eyes and leaned on Mu Hongsheng’s shoulder, "Grandpa, you see how good brother is at making excuses? The most cunning one in the family is him!"

Mu Hongsheng couldn’t stop laughing, "Yanyan is still quite light, only gained maybe three pounds at most."

Fu Jinyan: "..."

An Yan glanced sideways at Fu Shiyan, "You see who Anan takes after? Too crafty, just like someone we know."

Fu Shiyan chuckled lightly, "I also see who Yanyan takes after. To use Anan’s words, ’with eight thousand schemes up his sleeve’."

An Yan glared at him, "I don’t care about you at all."

She walked towards Xu Wanqing, "Let me carry him."

Xu Wanqing smiled, "No need, Anan is not heavy. When will Jinqiao and the others arrive?"

An Yan checked her watch, "At this time, their plane has just landed. It’ll be an hour before they arrive."

Xu Wanqing, "Then just in time, we’ll make some desserts."

An Yan softly agreed, "Okay."

Meanwhile, Fu Jinqiao was anxiously rubbing her hands at the airport’s arrival gate, as the plane had already landed a while ago.

She stood on her tiptoes, looking around, when suddenly her eyes sparkled, and she began to vigorously wave at the two people coming out.

Mu Qianfan, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, quickly approached her.

Suddenly, a woman rushed towards him, "Mu Qianfan! Mu Qianfan! I love you so much!"

Xu Shuo, following behind, quickly stepped in to intercept her. He looked at Mu Qianfan, "Brother Mu, you go ahead, I’ll handle this."

Mu Qianfan nodded slightly, picked up his suitcase, and quickly left with Fu Jinqiao in his arms.

The woman struggled to follow but was stopped by Xu Shuo warning her, "You’ve been stalking Movie King Mu too many times already. One more time and we’ll call the police!"

The woman’s eyes showed intense resentment, "I am the woman Mu Qianfan loves most, how dare he abandon me!"

There were always some obsessive fans who fantasized about being his girlfriend, tracking Mu Qianfan. Xu Shuo felt particularly speechless about such delusions and sympathized with Mu Qianfan’s plight.

This particular woman had followed Mu Qianfan no less than twenty times, showing extreme paranoia and fanaticism.

Xu Shuo called for security to detain the woman and then quickly left as well.

Elsewhere, Mu Qianfan was driving away from the airport with Fu Jinqiao.

Fu Jinqiao asked, "What about Xu Shuo?"

Mu Qianfan glanced at her, "You seem quite concerned about him."

"No, I mean, we drove off, what about him?"

"His agent will pick him up."

Fu Jinqiao uttered a sound of understanding, then leaned in closer, "Third Brother, I missed you so much."

Mu Qianfan couldn’t resist her kittenish, coquettish voice. He pulled the car over to the side of the road, unbuckled his seat belt, and began kissing her passionately against the back of the seat.

Fu Jinqiao reciprocated with emotion, each whimper bringing a more fervent reaction.

"Jinqiao, are you trying to kill me? Hmm?"

Fu Jinqiao blinked her wet eyes, "I don’t want your life, I just want you. Third Brother, what’s the surprise you said you have for me?"

Mu Qianfan’s lips curved with a mischievous arc, "Tonight, you wear your wedding dress, and I’ll give you a surprise."
