Wu Guanjia followed behind, while a group of bodyguards stayed outside the hall.
The Emperor's Grandson, with an aura that was simply too powerful, appeared and guests immediately ceased their conversations, all eyes turning to him in unison.
A tall man in a dark suit exuded an air of calm and power. His handsome features were expressionless, and his entire being radiated a cold aloofness that kept people at bay.
And the girl beside him, with a delicate and beautiful face, her skin was even whiter and more translucent against the pink dress. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, with a hint of seductiveness in her youthful appearance. Though she was young, she was exceptionally captivating.
The eye-catching couple instantly became the center of attention.
But what people were more interested in was the girl beside Master Fu, the protagonist of the gossip they talked about every day.
The girl by Master Fu's side, is she his little mistress then
"She's really beautiful, and so young! I didn't expect Master Fu to have such good taste!"
"A mere little flirt, no matter how beautiful, wouldn't be fit for the stage!"
"That's not necessarily true. The fact that Master Fu brought her to the old lady's birthday banquet speaks volumes about his fondness for her. Who knows, she might even become his official wife sometime soon."
“...”
Looking at Fu Lingxiao and Mu Xing walking hand in hand, listening to the hushed whispers of the crowd, a fierce jealousy and hatred flashed across Lan Xuan's eyes, but her delicate makeup still maintained a faint smile beneath her stunning features.
"Ah Xiao, you're here."
Lan Xuan took the initiative to greet Fu Lingxiao and then smiled friendly at Mu Xing.
The pretty older sister smiled at her!
Mu Xing immediately responded with a sweet smile.
Fu Lingxiao's expression remained as always, indifferent. He gave a hum in response and continued walking inward with Mu Xing.
The man remained indifferent to her as always. Lan Xuan knew that making any further advances towards him would only result in humiliation in public. She stood there, feeling a mixture of resentment and unwillingness, staring at their retreating figures.
Shen Yi saw Fu Lingxiao and his entourage coming, holding a champagne flute as he slowly walked over to meet them, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Not bad, Old Fu," he said. "You're generous this time, willing to bring your little sister-in-law out."
Fu Lingxiao glanced at him impassively, "Move out of the way if you have nothing to do."
"Something definitely happened."
Shen Yi pointed his chin at a few guests in the distance and said to Fu Lingxiao, "See those guys over there They're young CEOs who just returned from abroad. They want to meet you and asked me to introduce them. Give your brother some face and go chat with them for a bit."
"Speaking, he turned to Mu Xing again, "Little sister-in-law, I'll borrow Lao Fu for a bit, and return him to you later."
"I'll be right back. Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
Fu Lingxiao loosened Mu Xing's hand, rubbed her head, and left with Shen Yi.
At this time, Liu the Butler came over to add wine and spirits. He had been busy all morning running around. Seeing Wu the Butler was like seeing a savior, he immediately greeted him: “Old Wu, you’re finally here, come help me!”
Wu Guantao was hesitant to leave Mu Xing alone, but then he heard his little darling say very thoughtfully: "Uncle Wu, you go busy. I'll wait here for my uncle."
Wu Guanjia glanced at Liu Guanjia, who was eagerly waiting for him to help. He instructed Mu Xing: "That uncle has to go busy for a while, you take good care of yourself. If someone comes up to you to chat, you don't have to pay attention."
Mu Xing obediently nodded and took the scroll box from Wu Butler's hand, "Don't worry, Butler."
Butler Wu hurried over to help Butler Liu.
Mù Xīng stood alone, holding a scroll box in her arms.
Fu Lingxiao coldly dealt with the people who toasted him, but his gaze never left Mu Xing for a second.
Since it's her first time attending a banquet, the little thing must be out of place. He should have brought her along.
Shen Yi saw Fu Lingxiao's "heart in Han while being in Cao's camp." He leaned his body, blocking Fu Lingxiao's sight, and said with a smile, "Old Fu, you are typical of prioritizing beauty over friendship. Could it be that I, your good brother, am not as important as one woman"
Fu Lingxiao's cold eyes swept over his face, "Don't push me to kick you in front of so many people."
Shen Yi clutched his chest, feigning heartache, "You would hit me for another woman, Lao Fu I'm heartbroken."
Fu Lingxiao stared at him with a cold face as he acted.
Lan Xuan, not far away, had been quietly watching Mu Xing. She noticed the scroll box in her arms and guessed it was a gift for Madam Fu. She immediately hatched a plan...
Mu Xing was using her gaze to search for the figure of her little uncle, and suddenly she felt someone bump into her.
Mu Xing quickly retracted her gaze. Her skirt was already splashed with wine, soaking a large area.
The man who bumped into her repeatedly apologized to her: "I'm so sorry, miss. I didn't see the road and bumped into you, getting your skirt dirty. I'm really sorry."
Mu Xing's first reaction was to check the scroll box, making sure it hadn't been splashed with alcohol. She waved her hand and said, "It's fine, it's fine."
Lan Xuan walked over at the right time and asked with concern, "What's wrong"
The man replied, "I stained this lady's dress."
Lan Xuan looked at Mu Xing, "Do you have a spare set of clothes"
Mu Xing shook her head.
"Like this, wet it's not good-looking, and it's uncomfortable. I'll take you to the restroom to take care of it."
Mu Xing thought the problem wasn't big, just let it air dry naturally, but Lan Xuan had already taken her hand and led her towards the bathroom.
The man who bumped into Mu Xing followed closely behind, coming to the outside of the restroom. He took the initiative to say: "Miss, I'll help you get something, you go in and deal with it, I'll wait for you outside."
Mùxīng didn't think much, she handed the scroll box to him and went into the restroom with Lánxuān.
-Fu Lingxiao, unable to bear it any longer, kicked Shen Yi away. The little girl was gone without a trace. He frowned, put down his wine glass, and quickly went to search for her.
Shen Yi nonchalantly followed behind Fu Lingxiao, "I'm saying, aren't you overreacting This is your territory. Who in their right mind would dare to touch you here."
Fu Lingxiao: "Either shut your mouth or get out!"
Shen Yi: "..."
It's fine, it's fine. He's my own brother, of course I forgive him.
Lan Xuan patiently helped Mu Xing deal with the wine stain on her skirt, taking out a hairdryer from the wall cabinet and gently drying it.
"Okay."
Thank you, pretty sister.
The beautiful elder sister was not only pretty but also so gentle. Mu Xing had a good feeling for her.
Looking at the sweet-smiling girl before her, Lan Xuan let out a cold snort in her heart: Fool! Just wait and see if you can still smile later!
The surface was still as gentle and kind as ever, "Alright, let's go out."
Mu Xing, holding the scroll box, was walking back to the banquet hall with Lan Xuan when they saw a man hurrying towards them.
"Uncle!"
Mu Xing ran over quickly, tap-tap-tapping her feet.
Fu Lingxiao saw that the little girl was safe and sound. The frown on his brow relaxed, and he tapped her forehead with his finger, "Didn't I tell you to wait there for me Why didn't you listen"attack us. When Situ went to the mental hospital to check the scene, he found fragments of bullet metal casings. After comparison, they matched those found in the villa. Unfortunately, we let them get...
