Old Mrs. Mu took Xing Nian's hand and walked to the dessert area.

"My granddaughter-in-law, I see you haven't eaten anything this afternoon. Try this dessert. The dessert chef of the old Zhai family was specially invited from abroad. His craftsmanship is very good."

Xing Nian smiled and nodded, took the dessert handed over by Mrs. Mu, and took a bite. She tasted the dessert with a satisfied light in her eyes.

When Xing Nian turned her head to look at Mrs. Mu, she happened to see the old man carefully holding different desserts and feeding them into Mrs. Mu's mouth one bite at a time. The two smiled at each other, and the scene was full of love and warmth.

Xing Nian couldn't help but take out her cell phone and captured this loving moment.

Mu Huaichen, who was not far away, also noticed this heartwarming scene while talking to Zhai Ziyi.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, that smile was like melting ice and snow, or like a spring breeze blowing on the face, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.

Zhai Ziyi was stunned when he saw Mu Huaichen's smile.

He couldn't help but teased, "They say a man becomes a different person after getting married. Lao Mu, you've changed so much. The way you smile now is completely different from your old self."

When Mu Huaichen heard his friend's teasing, he immediately returned to his usual cold expression, but a smile flashed in his eyes.

He glared at Zhai Ziyi and signaled him to shut up.

Upon seeing this, Zhai Ziyi quickly waved his hand to indicate that he would not say anything more.

As Zhai Ziyi was called away, a lot of people gathered around Mu Huaichen again.

They all came forward to talk to Mu Huaichen, hoping to use this opportunity to establish a connection with him.

"Mr. Mu, we just collaborated on a project not long ago. Do you still remember it?"

"Boss Mu, this is the new plan our company has written. Do you have time to take a look at it?"

In such high-society banquets, making friends with the rich and powerful and expanding one's network of contacts are the goals pursued by many people. Therefore, when these people saw Mu Huaichen coming, they all seized the opportunity to leave an impression in front of him.

"It's really not easy for Huaichen to come here."

Xing Nian turned to look at the person who was speaking and found that it was a middle-aged man. She asked politely, "Are you, Uncle Zhai?"

The middle-aged man smiled and replied, "You are Huaichen's wife Xing Nian, right?"

"It's me, hello Uncle Zhai." Xing Nian put down the dessert in his hand and greeted Uncle Zhai respectfully.

Uncle Zhai nodded and continued, "I heard about you from Ziyi. Huaichen is a low-key kid and doesn't like occasions like this. The fact that he can come to this banquet shows that you are very important to him."

When Xing Nian heard Uncle Zhai's words, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Uncle Zhai sighed and continued, "Alas, unlike that bad boy of mine. How old is he? He doesn't even have a decent girlfriend. He just spends his days drinking and partying outside." His words were full of helplessness and expectations for his son.

Mu Huaichen was getting a little impatient with the people around him. He said in a cold voice, "Today is Grandpa Zhai's birthday party, so let's not talk about work."

As soon as these words came out, the people around him were discouraged by his aura and retreated one after another. No one dared to come forward and surround Mu Huaichen.

"Uncle Zhai." Mu Huaichen greeted Uncle Zhai respectfully.

"Since you are here, I'll leave first." Uncle Zhai said, and before leaving he praised Mu Huaichen for his unique vision in choosing a wife.

Mu Huaichen hugged Xing Nian and asked softly, "What are you and Uncle Zhai talking about? You two seem to be quite engaged in the conversation."

Xing Nian smiled and replied, "Uncle Zhai was very envious of you for being married. He said that Zhai Ziyi is not young anymore, but he doesn't even have a proper girlfriend. Uncle Zhai wanted me to help see if there is a suitable girl for him and introduce one to him."

After hearing this, Mu Huaichen glanced at Xing Nian jokingly and said, "Nian Nian is planning to be a matchmaker."

Xing Nian shook his head in annoyance: "Uncle Zhai asked me to do this, which is really a headache for me. I don't know many girls."

Mu Huaichen comforted her: "This matter is not urgent. According to Zhai Ziyi's personality, if he himself doesn't like it, no matter what others say, it will be useless. So, Nian Nian, relax. You can pay more attention to what Uncle Zhai says, but don't worry."

Xing Nian took the dessert and continued to eat it, while Mu Huaichen also took the fruit and fed it to Xing Nian from time to time. The sweet look of the two attracted the attention of the two people present.

Shen Xiaoyue, who was standing far away, looked at the man she had loved for many years, who was so sweet with Xing Nian, and her face was distorted terribly. The fierce aura on her body frightened the people passing by, and they all avoided her.

Among the crowd, a pair of dangerous eyes were always watching in the direction of Xing Nian and Mu Huaichen.

Helan Xi, he looked at the sweet interaction between the two, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although he was smiling, it gave people a terrible shudder.

At this time, Zhai Lu came on stage in the center of the hall.

"Welcome everyone to my father's birthday party. I declare the party officially open."

As Zhai Lu's voice fell, Old Man Zhai slowly walked onto the stage with his cane.

He picked up the phone and said.

Everyone in the audience listened carefully to what Mr. Zhai said, but Xing Nian frowned.

Xing Nian nudged the man next to him and said, "Is Grandpa Zhai not feeling well?"

"I haven't heard of this. Did you see anything?"

"Grandpa Zhai's breath was unstable when he spoke, and his chest rose and fell obviously. Also, you can see that Grandpa Zhai's steps were a little frivolous."

After Mr. Zhai finished speaking, he walked off the stage with the help of Zhai Lu.

"Don't worry, I'll go over and ask later." Mu Huaichen patted Xing Nian's hand to reassure her.

Just when Mu Huaichen left to find Zhai Ziyi, Xing Nian looked at a woman following Mu Huaichen in the crowd. The skirt she was wearing looked familiar to her.

Xing Nian wanted to walk over, but his view was blocked by the crowd.

She came to the corridor and tried to look for the woman, but she didn't see her.

At this moment, a black figure quietly approached behind Xing Nian.

Xing Nian sensed a dangerous aura, and she immediately elbowed back alertly, trying to attack the person behind her.

However, the person behind him easily took Xing Nian's elbow and gently grabbed Xing Nian's arm.

Xing Nian turned around slowly and saw the paranoid man - Helan Xi.
