After Mu Jingheng and Grandpa Mu finished talking, they waited and waited, but Jiang Juecheng and Xu Xinning did not return. Mu Jingheng was very anxious.

He knew that Xu Xinning wouldn't do anything with Jiang Juecheng, but the thought of Xu Xinning spending so much time alone with other men made him uncomfortable.

Xu Xinning enjoyed the meal quite a bit. In her previous life, her mother would often cook Western food for the three siblings when she felt like it. This was the first time she had eaten it in this life, and it felt quite nice to have it once in a while.

William was very polite. Seeing that Xu Xinning liked cake, he even ordered one for her to take home.

Xu Xinning didn't stand on ceremony with him; her house call fee was quite expensive, you know!

When Mu Zhenting saw Mu Jingheng constantly standing at the gate looking out, he went back inside and complained to his father, saying that his son had forgotten his father now that he had a wife.

Grandpa Mu couldn't bear to watch anymore. His son was jealous of his granddaughter-in-law. What a pathetic sight!

Wasn't his son and wife this lovey-dovey when they were young? Did he say anything back then?

However, Grandpa Mu was also quite anxious. He hadn't even seen what his granddaughter-in-law looked like before the Jiang family boy took her away. He hadn't even been given a chance to take a look.

He felt indignant whenever he thought about it. No wonder that the Jiang family boy was still single at his age because he had no taste.

Jiang Juecheng: Is twenty-one a big age? Mu Jinghuai seems to be, maybe, probably twenty-one too?

Grandpa Jiang noticed that Grandpa Mu had been staring at him a lot, with a look like that of a resentful woman. Had he cheated on him?

Grandpa Jiang felt a chill run down his spine.

He's not that abnormal, is he?

The meals for Grandpa Jiang and his family were delivered by the bodyguard, who was also the king of soldiers. It was the first time Mu Jingheng had met this person, and he didn't expect that he was an old acquaintance.

Of course, this old acquaintance was just an old acquaintance from his previous life. This person later became his bodyguard and his most trusted brother, and he taught him many things.

Although he was his bodyguard, the two were also mentor and friend, until he was transferred to a local position as the top leader.

Actually, Mu Jingheng was also reluctant to let him go at that time, but he had to make the painful decision for the sake of his future.

Unexpectedly, they met so early in this life. Thanks to his reminder, he ended up by Old Master Mu's side.

Perhaps this is fate; those destined to meet will eventually meet.

This guard is named Fu Zhihong. He is also from Kyoto. The Fu family used to be a scholarly family, but in Fu Zhihong's generation, apart from him, they are basically all useless. Although there are some teachers, they don't achieve much. Most of them work as ordinary workers in factories.

Fu Zhihong's later achievements were the best in their family, but he also mentored several other good people.

Mu Jingheng remembered that he and Xu Daya didn't get along very well back then. In order to win people over, Xu Daya had even schemed against him, originally intending to give him a woman, but she failed.

Later, it was he who arranged for Xu Daya to be sent to the isolated island.

He had noticed that Mu Jingheng was staring at Fu Zhihong for a long time, but strangely, he felt that Mu Jingheng was very familiar, even inexplicably close to him.

Fu Zhihong felt that he might have been single for too long, and seeing such handsome gay men made him feel unhealthy.

Mu Jingheng glanced at Fu Zhihong's expression and guessed that he was overthinking again. He knew him too well; he could tell what he was thinking just from one expression.

Mu Jingheng, seized by a mischievous impulse, said, "Fu Zhihong!"

Fu Zhihong immediately stood at attention and loudly replied, "Here!"

Grandpa Mu glared at Mu Jingheng and said irritably, "Xiao Fu is honest, you can't bully him."

Fu Zhihong is a year older than Mu Jingheng, but he has already served in the army for four years. Grandpa Mu likes him very much and treats him almost like a grandson.

Grandpa Mu had received help from the Fu family during the revolution, but he never had the chance to repay them. Later, Mu Jingheng asked him to pay attention to the orderly Wang Yanping, so he went to select a bodyguard. He happened to see Fu Zhihong in training and heard from his battalion commander that he was the king of soldiers in their batch. So Grandpa Mu applied to have him transferred to his side.

At first, Fu Zhihong was reluctant. He knew that there would be many opportunities after he got close to the leader, but he still wanted to rely on his own strength to steadily rise in rank.

Their family had declined too quickly, and they desperately wanted someone to lead the family back to prosperity. Fu Zhihong was their hope.

To convince him to join his side, even at his advanced age, Old Master Mu held a competition with Fu Zhihong and his fellow greenhorns. It was through this competition that Old Master Mu truly showed Fu Zhihong the strength of an old revolutionary.

Mu Jingheng smiled roguishly at Fu Zhihong, a smile that seemed even more familiar to Fu Zhihong, but he couldn't recall when the two had met before.

In fact, Fu Zhihong had heard about Mu Jingheng and Mu Jinghuai when he first came to work as Old Master Mu's bodyguard. He also knew that Mu Jingheng was a spoiled brat, but after seeing him today, he felt that Mu Jingheng was a bit unfathomable.

When Xu Xinning and Jiang Juecheng returned, Mu Jingheng and the others had just finished eating, and the cake she brought was perfect for them as dessert.

Grandpa Mu couldn't take his eyes off Xu Xinning the moment he saw her. How could this little girl be so beautiful?

Grandpa Mu thought Mu Jingheng's mother was already beautiful enough, but he never expected that his son would find someone even more beautiful than his mother.

It seems that his preference for beautiful young women as wives is hereditary; his wife is also very pretty.

Xu Xinning noticed that Grandpa Mu kept smiling at her. The old man had a kind and gentle face, which made him very approachable. She had thought that since Mu Zhenting was so dignified, Grandpa Mu would definitely have a stern and imposing aura. However, she was surprised to find that he was so refined and gentle.

When Grandpa Mu saw that Xu Xinning was also looking at him, he waved to her and said, "Child, come here to Grandpa."

Xu Xinning stepped forward with a smile.

Grandpa Mu took a box out of his desk drawer and handed it to Xu Xinning, saying, "This was passed down in our family. It was originally given to Jingheng's mother, but after she passed away, Jingheng's father gave it to me for safekeeping. Now that you're here, my task is complete."

Xu Xinning glanced at Mu Jingheng, who gestured for her to open it and take a look.

Xu Xinning was also curious, so she opened the box.

When she saw the pair of translucent bracelets lying quietly in the box, she felt a moment of disorientation, as if time and space were becoming chaotic again.

In her previous life, she also owned a pair of identical bracelets, which were given to her by her fiancé's family when she got engaged. The story was similar to that of Old Master Mu, that they were passed down from ancestors to the legitimate daughter-in-law.

At this moment, Xu Xinning suspected that the pair of bracelets were the same pair from her previous life.

Perhaps she and Mu Jingheng were destined to be together?

Suddenly, she became curious about her fiancé from her past life. Did he look just like Mu Jingheng?
