Mu Jin immediately looked at the cat, "Why are you asking me this? What does it matter whether I like Jiang Shaoze's engagement party or not?"

The glass lamp cast shimmering light into his eyes. The cat leaned closer to look into his eyes. "Yes, because I need to think about what kind of engagement party I'll be having for you."

Mu Jin's eyes narrowed. He looked at Maomao with amusement and smiled, "Jiu Maomao, why are you the one hosting my engagement banquet?"

Cat: "Of course I'll take care of it for you. Otherwise, who else would you want to take care of it for you?"

Mu Jin couldn't help but say, "Don't you think I should be the one hosting your engagement party? Isn't the order of importance reversed?"

If I don't explain it so clearly, it seems like she won't understand!

Cat hadn't expected this. She looked at Mu Jin with some surprise, "Ah Jin, is there such a thing as primary and secondary? Even if there is, I'm the one who decides to raise you, isn't that my responsibility?"

“What you said makes so much sense that I can’t find a reason to refute it right now,” Mu Jin said.

The cat nodded, "Yes, that's it!"

"If people find out that you, Jiu Maomao, are going to take care of me, will I be unable to live my life?" Mu Jin crossed her long legs. She was naturally beautiful, and her languid appearance was very alluring.

The cat's gaze fell on his legs, and it blinked.

"What does it matter, Ah Jin?"

Mu Jin decided to give the cat a good talking-to. "It's related. I've already thought about what people will say about me. Living off my family's wealth at home and relying on women outside. It turns out that the second master of the Mu family is a gigolo."

Cat looked at Mu Jin again, "Ah Jin, so you know you have a bad reputation? Anyway, it's already like this, what's the harm if it gets a little worse?"

"You make it sound so easy," Mu Jin said, feeling somewhat powerless.

He thought to himself that while his own mother was still planning his engagement and marriage, this cat already had its own ideas.

If the old lady knew that this is what the cat was thinking, I wonder if she would still be in a hurry to get him married.

"So, Ah Jin, do you like this kind of banquet or not?" Cat asked again.

Mu Jin countered with, "Do you like it?"

The cat shook its head. "I don't like it, it's too noisy."

Mu Jin raised an eyebrow slightly.

The cat shook Mu Jin's arm and asked persistently, "Tell me quickly, you haven't told me yet."

Mu Jin grabbed her hand. "I'll tell you what to do when you're ready to do it."

The cat immediately nodded, "That's a good idea!"

Soon after, the engagement ceremony began. Jiang Shaoze was in the limelight on the stage, and Jiu Nanxun stood next to him. The two looked very well-matched.

Jiang Caishen looked at his son, feeling deeply moved.

He had never seen Jiang Shaoze smile so genuinely before. That kid had been so gloomy since he was little...

He never listened to him. The father and son had been fighting for many years, neither willing to compromise. He thought that Jiang Shaoze couldn't make it outside and would come back sooner or later.

However, he recklessly settled down in Country A.

If it weren't for Jiu Jia, he would never have come back.

Perhaps times have truly changed; even he can no longer understand the Eight Gates now, so handing it over to Jiang Shaoze is the right thing to do.

At the banquet, Jiu Nanxun held Jiang Shaoze's arm the whole time. She met many people, but as expected, she didn't remember any of them.

My legs are aching from standing for so long.

"Shaoze, congratulations on your engagement! Xiaoxun, congratulations! You're so adorable, no wonder Shaoze likes you so much," a beautiful middle-aged woman said with a smile.

Beside her stood two other women, both of whom looked very wealthy.

Jiang Shaoze's expression was indifferent, and he gave a fake smile. "Thank you."

Kunan Kaoru also said, "Thank you."

The guests they had met earlier hadn't said much, but these three women didn't leave immediately. One of them looked at Jiu Nanxun's jewelry with a look of deep envy in her eyes.

"Xiao Xun, your jewelry set is so beautiful! So many diamonds, it must have been expensive!"

Ku Nanxun already knew that the diamond set was worth over a billion, but she didn't like talking about it with others, so she simply replied, "Thank you."

The woman actually reached out her hand, "You're so beautiful, may I take a look?"

However, before she could even touch it, Jiang Shaoze slapped her hand away without warning, saying, "That's enough. Don't touch what you shouldn't."

The woman was somewhat embarrassed and indignant, but she quickly laughed again, "Shaoze still has a big temper. I didn't do anything... We're not even married yet, and he's already giving her such a big diamond..."

Jiang Shaoze suddenly looked at the woman, his eyes quickly turning cold, even his fake smile disappeared, and he released a hint of murderous intent.

The woman immediately fell silent, glanced fearfully at Jiang Shaoze, and then suddenly pulled the other two women away.

Jiu Nanxun tugged at Jiang Shaoze's arm and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? I don't care what they're saying, why are you angry?"

Jiang Shaoze looked at Jiu Nanxun, his expression immediately brightening. He smiled and said, "It's nothing, Xiao Xun, does your foot hurt?"

Kunan Kaoru nodded. "A little."

Jiang Shaoze pulled her to sit down, saying, "Just sit here, don't pay any attention to them."

Is this a good idea?

Jiang Shaoze squatted down in front of her and took off her high heels.

"Hey, what are you doing? Don't take your clothes off, there are so many people here..."

Even though I say that, my feet feel so good without high heels!

Jiang Shaoze massaged her feet, and she said, "Don't worry, no one will come over."

Jiu Nanxun looked up and saw some people looking at them curiously, but no one actually came over because there were bodyguards guarding the area...

Kunan Kaoru breathed a slight sigh of relief.
