Meng Xunqian prepared the dishes, and the servants helped to bring them to the table.
Mu Xiaocheng and Xia Qianyu were already seated at the dining table, waiting to enjoy a delicious meal.
When Meng Xunqian came out, he glanced at Mu Xiaocheng, whose eyes were watery and who was crying for milk, and couldn't help but smile.
Out of habit, I sat down next to her.
Xia Qianyu noticed that Meng Xunqian was sitting next to Mu Xiaocheng, as if he was deliberately avoiding her.
She shifted her chair, moving closer to Meng Xunqian.
Meng Xunqian didn't look at her once from beginning to end, which made Mu Xiaocheng feel very awkward.
Xia Qianyu, like an unkillable cockroach, picked up a piece of spicy chicken and put it into Meng Xunqian's bowl.
Then, resting her chin on her hand, she said in a very gentle and understanding manner, "You've worked hard."
Meng Xunqian glanced at her, his gentle and refined face losing its warmth.
He suddenly stood up: "I don't have much of an appetite, you guys take your time eating."
After saying that, he went upstairs.
Xia Qianyu watched his departing figure and let out a long sigh.
"Alas, tragedy repeats itself once again."
This isn't the first time. Does Meng Xunqian really hate her that much?
Mu Xiaocheng picked up a piece of boiled pork slices, with red chili peppers floating on top.
One bite, and it's stuffed into my mouth.
"make persistent efforts!"
She no longer knew how to encourage Xia Qianyu.
Over the past few years, we've exhausted all the words of encouragement we could think of.
Xia Qianyu glared at Mu Xiaocheng and said irritably, "Can't you show me some real support?"
Mu Xiaocheng took a bite of rice: "I tried to persuade him a few times, and he got angry with me."
The implication is that she has already helped.
"Pah. He's angry with you? Unless the sun rises in the west."
Xia Qianyu knew perfectly well that this was impossible, based on her understanding of Meng Xunqian.
Mu Xiaocheng didn't say anything and focused on eating her food.
Seeing that Meng Xunqian was avoiding her, Xia Qianyu felt it was pointless and got up to leave.
"Mu Xiaocheng".
She suddenly called Mu Xiaocheng's name, her tone somewhat serious.
This startled Mu Xiaocheng, who was eating.
"Hmm?" She subconsciously looked up and stared at her.
Xia Qianyu's gaze was firm, seemingly carrying a powerful aura.
She said, word by word, "I will definitely win Meng Xunqian's heart."
Mu Xiaocheng: "..."
Shouldn't we give them a round of applause?
—
After Xia Qianyu left, Mu Xiaocheng was still wondering why she had suddenly said that to her.
Was she really provoked by her brother?
As Mu Xiaocheng was thinking, the door opened, and Zhou Ningyi and Meng Yun returned together.
"Why are you only having dinner now?"
Zhou Ningyi frowned. As soon as she was away from home, this little girl even stopped eating on time.
Mu Xiaocheng chuckled twice and stood up: "You're finally back. I have something to tell you."
Meng Yun sat down in the chair, took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, and asked, "What's up?"
Mu Xiaocheng took a deep breath and said calmly, "I've decided to marry Ji Huaishen."
Silence.
It lasted for several seconds.
Meng Yun was the first to react. He put his glasses back on and asked uncertainly, "You...you've really decided? You've thought it through?"
As parents, they are certainly happy that their child is getting married.
However, they were still worried about Xiao Cheng marrying someone like Ji Huaishen.
"Mm." Mu Xiaocheng nodded.
“I think he would be a good husband candidate, and we get along very well.”
Mu Xiaocheng's voice was calm, and a smile played on her lips; it didn't seem like she was faking it at all.
"Are you really going to marry him?"
Behind him came Meng Xunqian's voice.
Mu Xiaocheng turned around and saw Meng Xunqian standing at the top of the stairs, his expression somewhat...unpleasant.
