Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wen Xin saw a side of Mu Chengxi she had never seen before, and that made her display her happiest smile, dazzling everyone present.
Mu Chengxu timed her arrival just right, capturing this beautiful moment with her phone just as she reached the private room’s door.
Looking at the photo on her phone, she couldn’t help but marvel at how naturally beautiful people are, needing no filters to highlight their most beautiful selves.
Chu Yunxuan and Yuan Junye also witnessed this scene. Gu Yanzhe informed Chu Yunxuan to come, and she dragged Yuan Junye over too. Fortunately, they managed to make it in time. Otherwise, they would only be able to look at the photos and regret it for the rest of their lives.
Chu Yunxuan couldn’t help but think of Yan Qing, who, after many years at Di Ting, still hadn’t seen what their boss looked like, let alone witness their boss being proposed to—a pity indeed.
Chu Yunxuan couldn’t help but think of Yan Qing, who still hadn’t seen what their boss looked like after so many years at Da Ting, let alone witness their boss being proposed to—a pity indeed.
As Mu Chengxi placed the ring on Wen Xin’s finger, she leaned forward to kiss his lips…
Mu Chengxi stood up to embrace Wen Xin. In front of so many, he didn’t dare to kiss her directly, opting instead for a light kiss on her cheek.
“From now on, you are spoken for,” Mu Chengxi declared, holding Wen Xin close and assertively claiming his right over her.
Feeling a bit embarrassed with so many eyes on them, Wen Xin pulled Mu Chengxi by the hand to sit down at the dining table.
When she sat down, she stared at the ring on her finger. This ring was not an ordinary diamond ring, but a pink ancient stone.
Wen Xin, lost in thought as she looked at the gem, felt she had seen it somewhere before but couldn’t quite recall where.
Ling Xu’er, observing Wen Xin engrossed in her ring, teased, “Xin sister, you agreed to Uncle Mu’s proposal so easily. Isn’t that a bit too simple?”
Ling Xu’er’s playful tone pulled Wen Xin from her thoughts. Wen Xin looked up, smiling, and teased back, “What, you think I let him off too easily?”
“Exactly, it feels too hasty!”
Ling Xu’er pondered, feeling that a girl as good as Wen Xin deserved a grander proposal ceremony.
“Then let’s wait two more years until I’m of age to marry him and have him propose again. If you’re not satisfied, I won’t agree!”
Wen Xin joked, pinching Ling Xu’er’s cheek, her devilish smile hinting she was already thinking of ways to make things difficult for Mu Chengxi.
Ling Xu’er, charmed by Wen Xin’s captivating smile, agreed, “Yeah, let Uncle
Mu prepare properly next time. It can’t be this hasty again.”
Wen Xin looked over at Mu Chengxi with a soft smile and thought it might be time to accelerate their plans—it would be too troublesome to deal with this matter two years down the line when she was set to marry Mu Chengxi.
“Happy birthday, little girl!”
Chu Yunxuan approached from behind, wrapping her arms around Wen Xin and planting a firm kiss on her cheek, her enthusiasm catching Mu Chengxi’s displeased glance.
Sensing that unfriendly gaze, Chu Yunxuan leaned back in Wen Xin’s chair, raising an eyebrow at Mu Chengxi.
“Young Marshal Mu, why are you looking at me like that? My family’s little girl has her own family too. Even though you’ve successfully snatched our little girl, you should at least show respect to her family. Remember to greet us next time we meet! ”
Mu Chengxi’s clear eyes slightly narrowed as he turned his head to look at Wen Xin, noticing she was wiping her cheek with a tissue, and suddenly chuckled.
“Family should be respected, of course, but it seems my little ancestor dislikes you. It won’t be polite to continue like this next time!”
Mu Chengxi didn’t deny Chu Yunxuan’s status as family, but he wasn’t happy about Wen Xin being touched, especially kissed.
Wen Xin belonged to him alone, even if it’s another woman.
Chu Yunxuan’s gaze shifted from Mu Chengxi to Wen Xin, seeing Wen Xin’s disdainful expression and feeling somewhat helpless.
“Weren’t we sleeping in the same bed before?”
“Alright, shut your mouth. You’re not joking at the right time. Sit down, and thanks for the gift!”
Wen Xin pulled Chu Yunxuan’s arm, urging her to sit in an empty seat, asking her not to cause a scene in front of so many people.
Chu Yunxuan glanced around at the eyes cast their way, pinched Wen Xin’s cheek without saying anything, and then sat next to Gu Yanzhe.
Yuan Junye came uninvited, so when in front of Mu Chengxi and the others, he could not help but feel pressured. However, because it was his boss’s birthday, he came with Chu Yunxuan.
“Happy birthday, Miss Wen.” Yuan Junye said, handing his gift to Wen Xin.
At the same time, she squeezed Mu Chengxi’s arm and raised her eyebrows at
Mu Chengxi. ” This is Yuan Junye.”
Hearing Wen Xin’s introduction, Mu Chengxi surprisingly stood up, extending his hand formally, “Mu Chengxi..
“Long heard of your reputation, I’m Yuan Junye.”
This was Yuan Junye’s first meeting with Mu Chengxi since returning to Beijing, and he was somewhat caught off guard by Mu Chengxi’s formal greeting.
“Wen Xin, this is a gift from your aunt and uncle. I hope you like it…
Wen Zhimo noticed the atmosphere was a bit off, but having already walked out, she couldn’t retreat, so she bravely bit the bullet and approached.
Mu Chengxi withdrew his hand, signaling Yuan Junye, “Don’t stand on ceremony. Sit anywhere you like.”
“Today, I just learned about Miss Wen’s identity. Turns out Miss Wen is also the niece of Dean Ma’s wife. In the physics department, Professor Tang must take
At that moment, the principal of Capital University felt as if he had understood everything. Some of the people seated knew Wen Xin’s true identity and looked at Wen Xin with a complicated gaze.
Named by the president, Professor Tang wiped the sweat from his forehead, hastily agreeing, “Naturally, Wen Xin is such an outstanding student. Even without Dean Ma’s relationship, we would nurture her well.”
Every time Professor Tang saw Wen Xin, he felt an inexplicable pressure.
Rather than asking him to take good care of Wen Xin, it was more about asking Wen Xin to take it easy on him in the future.
Wen Xin was someone even Ma Wenyuan wouldn’t dare to offend, let alone him, a small fry!
Zhuge Jingming looked at the sweat on Chief Engineer Tang’s forehead and was a little worried. He stretched out his hand to take Chief Engineer Tang’s pulse and then said thoughtfully..
