Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What are you doing here at the company?” Mu Chengxi didn’t invite Mu Chengxu to lunch like the others, just curious about why Mu Chengxu came to the company.
“I actually don’t have much business here. I came to check on the company’s situation at Grandma’s behest, to see how those people are doing after yesterday’s incident.”
Mu Chengxu hesitated for a moment, looking at Mu Chengxi’s expressionless face, unsure if her visit for curiosity would upset Mu Chengxi.
“There’s nothing interesting to see here. A bunch of old folks are probably about to die of anger. Let’s have lunch together!” Saying this, Mu Chengxi turned and headed toward the parking lot.
Seeing Mu Chengxi leave, Liang Luoyu and others gestured for Mu Chengxu to follow them, and with a gentle smile, she quickly caught up to Mu Chengxi in her high heels, reaching for his arm.
When her arm encircled Mu Chengxi’s, he paused briefly, gently shaking off her hand and turning his head to say, “Keep your distance. If your perfume rubs off on me, my little ancestor will get the wrong idea.”
“Hey, are you serious? The bite marks around your neck are already glaringly obvious, and you still have the nerve to say my perfume might make your girlfriend jealous? Are you dating a girlfriend or a vinegar pot?”
“Mu Chengxi, have you lost your mind? I understand you like good-looking people, but choosing someone so troublesome, I can’t accept that. Aren’t you the one who hates trouble the most?”
Mu Chengxu crossed her arms in front of her chest, unable to comprehend why Mu Chengxi would willingly invite trouble.
“Who said she’s trouble? She just doesn’t like others touching her people, even if it’s her sister, there needs to be a certain distance.’
Mu Chengxi looked at Mu Chengxu with a smile not quite reaching his eyes, his brows slightly raised, giving him a particularly stern look.
Mu Chengxu’s temper is not the best, but years of competing in the business world taught her to adjust her mindset, trying to handle situations with a calm demeanor. However, Mu Chengxi’s action made her lose control instantly, and she threw her handbag at Mu Chengxi.
The crowd behind them quickly intervened to stop Mu Chengxu from escalating the situation, puzzled by how the siblings started to ‘bond’ in such a manner as soon as they met.
“Sis, you were all poised and graceful just now. How did you lose your cool so quickly?” Liang Luoyu stood in front of Mu Chengxi, jokingly trying to ease Mu Chengxu’s anger.
“I’m telling you, if it weren’t for them holding me back, I definitely wouldn’t let you off,” Mu Chengxu pointed at Mu Chengxi.
“Alright, I was just teasing you. Let’s go, don’t keep them waiting.”
Mu Chengxi, seeing Mu Chengxu’s huffy demeanor, seemed to realize his words might have been too much. He deliberately softened his voice, giving Mu Chengxu a way out.
Mu Chengxu huffed and ignored Mu Chengxi, walking toward the car with Liang Luoyu and Gu Yanzhe.
After walking a bit, Mu Chengxu asked Liang Luoyu in a secretive manner,
“Luoyu, what kind of person is Mu Chengxi’s girlfriend? Is she very spoiled?
Otherwise, why would she bite Mu Chengxi’s neck so fiercely?”
Liang Luoyu thought for a moment. Having known Wen Xin for so long, he never saw her act spoiled. As for the bite marks, wasn’t that just a bit of intimacy between them?
“Wen Xiaoxin is a great girl, not temperamental at all. She’s quite reserved but kind to those she cares about. To those she dislikes, she’s quite unforgiving, a classic case of clear love and hate.
Liang Luoyu found his interactions with Wen Xin very comfortable, but when suddenly asked to describe her, he wasn’t sure where to start.
Mu Chengxu, with her sharp eyes, wanted to learn more about Wen Xin from Liang Luoyu, such as her likes and dislikes, so she pulled him into the same car.
Watching Liang Luoyu being led away, Gu Yanzhe silently lit a candle for him
in his mind, hoping Liang Luoyu would be careful not to say too much, or he might not even know how he’d die.
The group arrived at Tianxiang Pavilion’s private room. The manager was stunned upon seeing them, remembering the chaos from Mu Chengxi’s last visit. He quickly warned the staff not to provoke this ‘ancestor.’
Mu Dong opened the door to the room, bustling with people playing cards and pool, lively as ever.
Seeing Mu Chengxi enter, Ling Yichen naturally stood up, surprised to see Mu Chengxu following him; he had thought Wen Xin would be with Mu Chengxi.
“Miss Mu, long time no see.”
Hearing Ling Yichen’s greeting to Mu Chengxu, everyone paused their activities, standing up straight, all eyes on Mu Chengxu, except for Nan Xue, who sat quietly on the sofa, watching.
The first person Mu Chengxu saw was Nan Xue sitting on the sofa. She smiled gently at her before addressing everyone.
“Why are you all so tense because of me? I’m just here to join in the fun. If my presence makes you uncomfortable, I might have to leave.”
Mu Chengxu naturally made her way to Nan Xue, sitting beside her, her voice soft yet authoritative, “Continue with your fun. If my arrival ruins the atmosphere, I’ll just leave.”
“Of course not, Miss Mu. Your visit honors us. Would you like to join us for a few rounds of Mahjong?”
He Zinan, known for his social skills, adept at speaking pleasantly to everyone, had managed to enter Mu Chengxi’s circle with this talent.
“No need. You all enjoy. We’ll just chat.”
Mu Chengxu, always gracious and warm, earned great respect in their circle for her warmth.
“Just now, when Sister Mu followed Young Master Xi in, I thought he brought Miss Wen. Nan Xue heard Miss Wen won’t come for lunch and didn’t want to leave her studies. She’s preparing for her transfer to Ice City No.l Middle
School. ”
Ling Yichen served tea to Mu Chengxu, speaking softly.
“She’s busy with something. We’ll have dinner together tonight. Too many people, she won’t eat well.”
Mu Chengxi took the tea from Ling Yichen, his response indifferent. He didn’t really know what Wen Xin was up to—she didn’t say, and he didn’t ask..
