That’s right.
Old Lady Mu had planned a surprise matchmaking for Mu Baicheng.
Third Miss Zheng of the Zheng Family was beautiful and talented, and had never had children, certainly better than that scheming woman.
The reason Mu Baicheng was enamored by that scheming new woman was he hadn’t seen someone better.
Once he met the Third Miss Zheng of the Mu Family, he would realize what a true lady of distinction was.
Hearing this, Old Lady Mu smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I have arranged everything."
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, "Then it’s settled."
The next morning, Lin Guixiang drove Mu Baicheng to the airport.
After getting out of the car, Lin Guixiang took two skincare sets from the trunk and handed them to Mu Baicheng, "These are gifts for Aunt and Xiaoxiao, take them with you."
Mu Baicheng had brought a lot of things to her house the day before, and Lin Guixiang didn’t have much else to give, so she took out two limited edition Beauty Chant Sets.
Giving skincare products to a girl is the least likely to go wrong.
And Beauty Chant had no age restrictions either.
Mu Baicheng hadn’t expected Lin Guixiang to prepare gifts for his mother and daughter, he was very excited then, "Thank you, my mom and my daughter will definitely love them."
Old Lady Mu liked sensible girls the most, Lin Guixiang being so considerate, she would definitely be very satisfied with Lin Guixiang as her future daughter-in-law.
"As long as Aunt and the others like it, it’s good." After speaking, Lin Guixiang extended her arms to embrace Mu Baicheng, "Have a safe trip, remember to call when you arrive."
"Okay." Mu Baicheng left a light kiss near Lin Guixiang’s ear.
This was their first kiss after confirming their relationship.
Although it was brief like a dragonfly skimming the water, both were thrilled, their hearts pounding intensely.
Ba-thump, ba-thump.
Again and again.
Lin Guixiang’s face flushed deeply red; she pushed Mu Baicheng slightly, "Alright, you should go now, or you might be late."
Only then did Mu Baicheng come back to his senses, "Then, I’ll go first."
"Mhm." Lin Guixiang watched him walk toward the elevator.
Mu Baicheng looked back three steps at a time until Lin Guixiang could no longer see his figure, then she turned and left the airport.
At eleven in the morning, Mu Baicheng arrived at Capital City Airport on time.
Upon landing, he called Lin Guixiang first thing.
"Ah Xiang, I’ve arrived in Capital City, I’ll be home in about an hour."
Meanwhile.
At the Mu Family.
Old Lady Mu occasionally looked at the clock on the wall and then at the person sitting across, smiling, "Niannian, have some fruit. Our Chengcheng should be home soon."
On the sofa sat a middle-aged woman with Big Wave curls, her makeup meticulous, dressed in a chic white suit, her nails painted beautifully, her actual age indecipherable.
This was Third Miss Zheng, Zheng Niannian.
Zheng Niannian smiled, "It’s okay, Aunt Mu, I’m not in a hurry."
Old Lady Mu nodded slightly, this Third Miss Zheng of the Zheng Family really was knowledgeable and virtuous.
Only such a person was worthy of their Mu Family.
What counted that Lin Guixiang woman for?
Before long, Mu Xiaoxiao walked over, "Hello, Aunt Zheng, I’ve long heard that not only are you capable, but you are also beautiful. I never imagined you’d be even more beautiful than I expected."
Zheng Niannian turned to Mu Xiaoxiao, "Is this... Miss Mu?"
Despite the Mu Family being a renowned grand family in Capital City, since the Mu Family had always resided abroad, Zheng Niannian was not very familiar with the Mu family members, thus she did not recognize Mu Xiaoxiao.
Hearing this, Old Lady Mu smiled and said, "Yes, Niannian, this is my granddaughter, Mu Xiaoxiao."
So it really was Mu Xiaoxiao.
Zheng Niannian was somewhat surprised.
She hadn’t expected Mu Xiaoxiao to be so warm toward her.
Everyone knows stepmothers usually have a hard time.
But the stepmother of the Mu Family...
Seemed not to have such a hard time after all.
Zheng Niannian’s husband had died early, and although she had considered remarrying over the years, she had never met the right person; some were still tangled with their ex-wives, while others faced disapproval from their children.
Having finally met someone like Mu Baicheng, Zheng Niannian naturally wanted to cherish this opportunity. She had been a bit worried about Mu Baicheng’s two children when coming to the Mu Family.
It seemed now, her worries were entirely unnecessary.
At that moment, footsteps approached outside along with the Butler’s voice.
"It must be my dad coming back," Mu Xiaoxiao stood up from her chair and took Zheng Niannian’s arm proactively, "Aunt Zheng, you don’t need to worry, my dad is very easy to get along with."
Zheng Niannian was startled.
Did Mu Xiaoxiao’s words mean she approved of her?
After a moment, Zheng Niannian came to her senses and smiled, "Thank you, Xiaoxiao."
Mu Xiaoxiao beamed, "Aunt Zheng, we are going to be family anyways, why be so formal?"
