Mu Chuqing could clearly see through Chang Chu's intentions.
Well, didn't she want to cast a blow on her just now?
Didn't Chang Chu want her to witness the marriage of the man she had once loved dearly?
Mu Chuqing could bet that Chang Chu would expect her to be melancholic and reject the invitation.
Yet, Mu Chuqing also knew that Chang Chu was more afraid of the contrary, afraid that she would accept the invitation card.
In the past, she had let Chang Chu trample over her. Now, she would no longer allow that to happen!
Moreover, this time Chang Chu was the one who sought her.
Mu Chuqing's lips curved into an icy smile as she walked into the restaurant.
Annoyed, Su Yuan asked, "Why're you so slow?"
"My shirt is light-colored, so I was waiting for it to dry!"
"Yuan Yuan, are you full?"
Su Yuan pouted and replied, "I have been full for long, full from being disgusted!"
"Let's go!"
Mu Chuqing turned around to get her bag as Su Yuan responded with an "All right." Su Yuan asked, "Chu Qing, how did you come here?"
"I drove!"
A tinge of mischief flashed across Su Yuan's eyes as she hurriedly grabbed Chu Qing's wrist.
"Chu Qing, didn't you do 12-ounce curls just now? How can you drive?"
"It's all right. I'll let…" the chauffeur pick us up.
Before Chu Qing could finish speaking, Su Yuan interrupted her as she whipped out her phone from her bag.
"Drunk-driving is illegal. Hold on, and I'll call Senior Yi An and let him come to pick us up!"
By the time Su Yuan finished speaking, she had already managed to get through the call, not giving Mu Chuqing a chance to stop her.
"Hello, is this Senior Yi An? Yes, I'm Su Yuan. Guess who's with me now…"
Su Yuan winked at Mu Chuqing before dragging her out of the restaurant.
When facing Chang Chu, Sheng Yuchen always had a gentle expression. His eyes seemed to reflect an unspeakable and charming elegance.
He held a glass of red wine in one hand. Swirling the wine glass lightly, he finally drank it in a few gulps, his face becoming uncanny as he put down the glass.
...
Gu Yian was very excited as he drove over, probably feeling on top of the world. His youthful face was a mix of gentleness and happiness.
Four years!
When she left without a sound four years ago, he searched high and low for her through Fu City.
Within 10 minutes, Gu Yian's Maybach had reached River Bai Inn. Mu Chuqing held onto a cup of fruit juice that Su Yuan had forcefully stuffed in her hand, taking a few sips casually.
"Chu Qing, since there is a gathering tomorrow, let's go together!"
Su Yuan casually spoke as she leaned against the pillar at the hotel entrance.
"Gathering?"
Mu Chuqing frowned as she was not too receptive to this idea.
"Yes, it'll be at Ming Niao Entertainment Clubhouse!"
"No wonder. I was wondering why you insisted on my premature return, so it was a calculated step!"
"Haha. Now tell me honestly, will you come?"
"…"
Mu Chuqing became silent, and at this time, a graceful figure slowly walked towards them.
Mu Chuqing was surprised as she looked up to see the elegant man before her.
The man smiled at her, and his dark eyes were gleaming, reflecting the bright and charming light.
"Chu Qing…"
His lips parted as he slowly called her name. The man's clear voice concealed a trace of excitement as it flowed like soft music into Mu Chuqing's ears.
Mu Chuqing smiled and nodded lightly to acknowledge him, gently greeting the man.
Gu Yian's dark orbs seemed to shine as his slender legs stepped forward uncontrollably. He reached out, wanting to hold Mu Chuqing's hand, but then controlled himself.
He looked quietly at her for half a second before cautiously asking, "Can I hug you?"
