Mu Nuannuan looked at the other side and denied: "He didn't look at me."
Shen Liang made a sound and said, "He's not looking at you, is he looking at me?"
"Maybe." Mu Nuannuan said lightly.
Shen Liang: "..."
Mu Tingxiao just glanced in the direction of Mu Nuannuan and pushed Mu Qingfeng to continue walking forward.
After giving some instructions to Tokoyami, he sat down.
Tokoye said a few words and announced the start of the party.
After he finished speaking, he noticed Mu Nuannuan.
He turned around and whispered to Mu Tingxiao: "Master, the young lady is here too."
"Come here, come here, it's none of my business." Mu Tingxiao took a glass of champagne, lowered his eyes, and spoke in a very indifferent tone.
This made Tokoyoshi think of a sentence, a stupid duck has a tough mouth.
At this time, there was another commotion suddenly on the other side.
Although the movement was not as loud as when Mu Tingxiao arrived just now, it could not be ignored.
"who is it?"
"I heard she is Master Mu's fiancée!"
"Although there have been news saying this, Mr. Mu has never responded directly, and the two have never held an engagement party."
"How could it not be true? It is said that the two of them even have a daughter..."
"Who said this? Is it true?"
“…”
Mu Nuannuan tilted her ears slightly, listening to the chat of several women on the side.
When she heard the content of their conversation clearly, she sneered.
Shen Liang didn't notice what the woman just said. Seeing Mu Nuannuan's expression of hesitation, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Su Mian is here." Mu Nuannuan put the champagne aside and straightened her dress: "I'm going to touch up my makeup."
"I'll go with you."
"Need not."
Mu Nuannuan went to the bathroom alone.
She stood in front of the mirror and carefully touched up her makeup. After making sure her makeup was perfect, she took her bag and left the bathroom.
As a result, she met Li Jiuheng as soon as she went out.
"Nuan Nuan?"
Li Jiuheng saw her first and naturally called out to her.
Mu Nuannuan turned around, paused slightly, and then said, "Have you just arrived?"
"Well, I just got here. I didn't see you in the banquet hall just now. I thought you weren't here." Li Jiuheng walked forward in three steps at a time and followed her pace.
Then, he walked slowly in line with Mu Nuannuan's footsteps.
"I just went to the bathroom."
Mu Nuannuan and Li Jiuheng walked side by side and returned to the banquet hall.
When the two of them returned to the banquet hall, there were more people in the banquet hall, gathering in groups and talking quietly.
The place with the most people was naturally around Mu Tingxiao.
There were many people around Mu Tingxiao, and Mu Qingfeng sat next to him.
Mu Qingfeng was still sitting in the wheelchair, pursed his lips and said nothing, with a cold face. Someone who came over just called "Mr. Mu" symbolically, and then went to talk to Mu Tingxiao.
Li Jiuheng followed Mu Nuannuan's gaze and chuckled, with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "As long as a person is human, he will weigh the pros and cons. Only those who can bring him benefits have the need to make friends."
In the past, when Mu Qingfeng was the leader of the Mu family, these people all wanted to make friends with Mu Qingfeng, but now that Mu Tingxiao is the CEO of the Mu family, the person they want to make friends with naturally becomes Mu Tingxiao.
They had long forgotten how they discussed Mu Tingxiao, the surviving victim, after the kidnapping occurred.
The human heart is softer than anything else and harder than anything else.
"From your tone, it seems that you have a thorough understanding of this." Mu Nuannuan turned to look at Li Jiuheng, with a hint of inquiry in her tone: "Besides, you seem to know the Mu family very well."
The smile on Li Jiuheng's face froze for a moment, and then quickly returned to his natural state: "Is there any?"
Mu Nuannuan looked at him steadily for a few seconds, and then asked: "Are what you said before true? You said that I saved you, but I have no impression at all."
Although Mu Nuannuan subconsciously believed in Li Jiuheng, it was still a bit suspicious that Li Jiuheng could find her and Mu Tingxiao in the mountains at the first time.
Li Jiuheng did not answer her question directly, but asked: "Are you doubting me?"
Mu Nuannuan reached out and took a glass of juice from the waiter's tray, took a sip before continuing: "The fact that you were able to find the location of Mu Tingxiao and I in such a short period of time means that you have been sending people to monitor me. Even if you are doing it to repay a favor and consider my safety, don’t you think it’s a bit too much?”
Mu Nuannuan suddenly turned her head to look at Li Jiuheng, her bright eyes full of sharp light.
She would not blindly trust Li Jiuheng.
As they said that night, Li Jiuheng's severity was unclear. He was kind to her, but he also had many secrets hidden in him.
Li Jiuheng smiled slightly, and there was no trace of embarrassment on his face as Mu Nuannuan exposed him: "Since you are unhappy, I won't do that in the future."
After he finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of Mu Tingxiao, with a hint of interest in his tone: "What's going on between you and Mu Tingxiao?"
When Mu Nuannuan turned around and looked over, she saw that Su Mian had walked up to Mu Tingxiao and was talking to Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Tingxiao was sitting, but Su Mian was standing and talking to him. Mu Tingxiao was blocked by her, and Mu Nuannuan could not see the expression on Mu Tingxiao's face at this time.
Mu Nuannuan didn't know what Su Mian and Mu Tingxiao said, but she was a little surprised that Mu Tingxiao listened so patiently to Su Mian talking to him.
In the past three years, the media has been saying that Su Mian is Mu Tingxiao's fiancée, and Mu Tingxiao has never denied it.
Therefore, people actually accepted that Su Mian was Mu Tingxiao's fiancée.
Even if they are not engaged, at least there is some relationship between the two.
"I just said there are always goblins who want to be the big boss..." Shen Liang walked over. Before he could say the word "bed" at the end, he fell silent when he saw Li Jiuheng next to Mu Nuannuan.
Li Jiuheng saw Shen Liang, nodded slightly and smiled politely at her.
Shen Liang had no choice but to smile politely in return, and then approached Mu Nuannuan and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "What's going on? Why is Li Jiuheng here too?"
"Mu Tingxiao invited him here." Mu Nuannuan said absently, her voice sounding a little cold.
Although she was speaking to Shen Liang, her eyes were always staring in the direction of Mu Tingxiao.
Shen Liang turned around and saw Su Mian sitting down next to Mu Tingxiao. Although the two had no physical contact, Mu Tingxiao letting Su Mian sit next to him was already a profound thing.
Shen Liang held it in for a long time and then came up with an idiom: "Adulterer and adulteress!"
"I've been here for so long, it's time to go over and say hello." After Mu Nuannuan finished speaking, she reached out and took Li Jiuheng's arm: "Would you like to come together?"
Li Jiuheng took one look at her face and said with a smile: "Okay."
