Chapter 112 -112 Decision 2_1

She decided not to go after all, there were too many people at the banquet she didn’t want to meet. If she met them now, things would become even more complicated, even harder to control.

But—if she didn’t go, would he blame her?

The more she thought, the more confused her mind became, the more agitated her heart felt; she simply stood up from the sofa, ready to change clothes and wash up, and to rest early.

As she unbuttoned her collar with both hands, she suddenly touched the necklace on her neck, the delicate platinum necklace that now had a faint warmth to it.

Her hands suddenly froze; since he had put that necklace on her, she had never taken it off.

Her fingers gently rubbed against the chain, as her eyes fell on the shiny English letters glowing under the light.

Memories of the day he celebrated her birthday suddenly flashed through her mind.

The beautiful bridge, the vibrant roses, the brilliant fireworks, and his affectionate words, everything about him.

The scenes replayed in her mind like a revolving lantern, over and over again.

The image suddenly froze on the scene right before she left his office that day.

His tall silhouette was so lonely, so desolate.

She did love him, how could she allow herself to see him like that?

“Stay by my side!” She suddenly remembered this sentence he had whispered in her ear.

Stay by his side—

In an instant, she came to a sudden realization!

Right, staying by his side, wasn’t that what she also hoped for?

The urge she had suppressed for six long years suddenly erupted like a volcano, swirling tumultuously, beyond control.

Her heart beat excitedly. After freezing for two seconds, she urgently flung open her wardrobe, grabbed a dress at random, and frantically started changing.

Without time for makeup, she ran her fingers through her hair a couple of times, threw on a down jacket, and ran toward the door.

She had finally understood; she wanted to be with him, she didn’t want to be apart from him any longer, she couldn’t stand tasting the madness of her thoughts alone each day.

She wanted to accompany him, she didn’t want to see his lonely figure, she didn’t want to see his saddened expression, as it would hurt her.

Let her be willfully capricious just this once, just this one time!

Mu Yingchen’s birthday banquet was being held at a star-rated hotel with a renowned reputation under Mu Family’s name.

The venue was at the hotel’s top floor, a place not just anyone could hold a banquet.

The venue was vast, unimaginably so, and it was luxuriously splendid and elegantly grand.

Lights sparkled everywhere, surrounded by a sea of flowers.

The beautiful music made the atmosphere even more high-end and elegant.

Those with discerning eyes could see that the guests coming and going were all notable figures from the political and business circles, each dressed to the nines, smiling faces all around.

Mu Feng, Ji Hua, Mu Chuyang, and the Mu Family’s butler were all formally dressed, welcoming guests from all directions.

Apart from them, there were two bodyguards in black suits with cool expressions, checking invitations.

Mu Yingchen’s birthday banquet wasn’t something ordinary people could attend; even with an invitation, careful scrutiny was required to prevent the entry of people with ulterior motives.

Ji Hua craned his neck to look through the throng of people, but still did not see the person he was expecting.

He glanced at the stern-looking Butler Zhou across from him, then leaned closer to Mu Feng and whispered, “You said Xiaoning and the others arrived early, what’s going on with Wanxia? How come she’s still not here?”

Mu Feng gently shook his head and murmured, “I don’t know. Chuyang definitely delivered the invitation to her today, she wouldn’t not show up, right?”

“The banquet starts in ten minutes. If she doesn’t come, Big Brother’s face will freeze the guests to death. It’s cold enough already, not to mention the chill he gives off. Sigh, what a suffering!” Ji Hua’s voice grew louder and louder beyond his control.

Butler Zhou across from them immediately looked in his direction. He chuckled twice, quickly moved back to his original spot, and gracefully greeted the arriving guests.

Meanwhile, inside the hall, Kang Xiaolan and her group sitting in a circle were also occasionally glancing toward the entrance.

“Xiaolan, Wanxia said she’s not coming; what’s the point of looking out for her? Do you think you can make her appear by watching?” Yan Yirou rested her chin on her hand, thoroughly puzzled.

“What is Wanxia really up to? What day is it today? How can she just say she’s not coming?” Kang Xiaolan was somewhat furious.

If Wanxia doesn’t come, it means there’s another problem between her and Mu Yingchen. Can’t these two just settle down and stop making everyone anxious?

“Do you think she and Mu Yingchen might be breaking up?” Yan Yirou looked around, lowered her voice, and cautiously said to the others.

“My God, I hope you haven’t hit the nail on the head,” Kang Xiaolan exclaimed, because she really couldn’t think of any reason that would keep her from even attending Mu Yingchen’s birthday party.

“You two stop making wild guesses. I think Wanxia must have her reasons for not coming,” Jian Manhui spoke softly.

“Reasons?” Kang Xiaolan and Yan Yirou simultaneously repeated in a whisper.

Suddenly, Kang Xiaolan slapped the table and exclaimed, “I’ve got it!”

“Got what?” Yan Yirou and Gong Yining asked in unison.

Jian Manhui looked at her with some skepticism. Kang Xiaolan shouldn’t know about that matter, right?

“She’s probably just embarrassed!” Kang Xiaolan’s voice lowered further.

“Embarrassed about what?” asked Yan Yirou.

“Think about it. Today is Mu Yingchen’s birthday; his family will definitely be here, right? Wanxia is probably afraid of seeing Mu Yingchen’s family.”

Jian Manhui curled her lips; Kang Xiaolan really had a point, her wild guesses were not far off the mark.

“Is that so?” Gong Yining sounded skeptical.

“Oh come on, what else could it be, unless she really broke up with Mu Yingchen?” Kang Xiaolan couldn’t help but raise her voice.

“Xiaolan, keep it down. Mu Yingchen has arrived,” Yan Yirou, staring at a certain spot, whispered a reminder to Kang Xiaolan.

Kang Xiaolan instantly shut her mouth and looked in that direction as well.

Walking in from the main entrance of the hall was a group of people.

The two leading the group were none other than the protagonist of the banquet, Mu Yingchen, and beside him, his mother, Mother Mu.

Tonight, he appeared even more aloof than usual, his strikingly handsome and cold face devoid of any expression, the obsidian-like depth of his eyes unfathomable, and his thin lips tightly pressed together, emanating an aura of keeping others at bay.

Mother Mu wore an evening dress in wine red; her hair was meticulously done up, and her already charming face was adorned with delicate and appropriate makeup. Whether it was her attire or facial makeup, it all accentuated her noble elegance.

If one didn’t know her and Mu Yingchen, it would be hard to assume they were mother and son.

“Yingchen, today is your birthday, don’t keep such a cold face; so many people are watching you,” Mother Mu said softly to Mu Yingchen.

Mu Yingchen glanced over the hall and then faintly curled the corner of his mouth.

Following them were Mu Feng, Ji Hua, and others. Since the banquet was about to start, the greeting of guests had concluded.

In their group, aside from several black-clad bodyguards, Bai Yudie was also unexpectedly among them.
