Before we could rest, the day of the birthday banquet for the old man of the Bian family soon arrived.

Mu Ci planned to dress up and attend the banquet. After all, there were many people going this time, and more importantly, there were many people who wanted to see her show. Moreover, she would definitely run into Song's father and mother this time.

Mu Ci sighed lightly and looked at the person sitting next to him in the driver's seat.

"Have you bought everything?" Mu Ci asked.

"It's in the back seat." Ji Li still didn't seem to be moved at all.

This mission required her to bring Ji Li to attend the Bian family banquet. She simply asked Ji Li for his opinion, and he actually thought about it for a while and agreed immediately.

Although he spent a long time in deep thought and even frowned, looking somewhat reluctant, Mu Ci felt that he was just pretending.

Although there is no basis for this, women's intuition is always inexplicably accurate.

Ji Li will be a famous movie star in the future, and his acting skills will be top-notch. Although he is not very mature now, he is more than capable of showing a compromising look.

Thinking about what happened before, although the person next to him didn't show it obviously, Mu Ci felt that Ji Li might have a connection with the Bian family, and it was not a small connection.

Forget it, don't think about it too much for now. She has a hunch that when she gets to the banquet tonight, many puzzled things will be solved.

Mu Ci was just about to fasten his seat belt when his vision suddenly went dark. The person next to him leaned over with most of his body, and his fresh breath was mixed with the slightest hint of cool mint and tobacco smell, which was a bit tempting. Just like this person, it brought a sense of oppression, but when you tasted it carefully, it was still slightly cool and clean.

Ji Li was almost face to face with Mu Ci, but his eyes were focused on the safety belt on the right side of Mu Ci. He stretched out his long arm and pulled it over. The safety belt covered Mu Ci's front body, and then with a click, it was fastened securely.

Ji Li sat back.

Mu Ci was stunned by the sudden action just now. She tilted her head to look at the person next to her and said, "I have hands."

"I thought you financial sponsors had no hands." Ji Li followed suit.

He didn't even raise his eyelids towards Mu Ci, just stared at the road ahead, started the car skillfully and drove towards the destination.

Mu Ci: “…”

OK, I can’t beat you, so I lose.

The car drove towards a studio that Mu Ci often visited.

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat warm and...deeply awkward. Mu Ci felt that she had an obligation to break this awkward situation.

"Why did you suddenly remember to agree to go to Old Man Bian's party with me? And as a male companion." Mu Ci was a little confused.

"You are the financial sponsor and I am an employee. I don't have the final say." Ji Li said seriously.

Liar!

It sounds like these are just perfunctory words. It is true that men's words are deceiving.

Mu Ci curled his lips and didn't take it to heart at all.

"Oh, since you said so, then classmate Ji Li, come on, call me the sponsor." Mu Ci suddenly thought of something and looked very interested.

Standing on the hero's head is the ultimate dream of every missioner.

"..."Ji Li.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Mu Ci felt a little bored. He played with his fingers and said nonchalantly, "Don't blame me for not warning you in advance. If you and I attend Mr. Bian's banquet together, the media might write nonsense about us. By then, you will be labeled as a movie queen, but your future career may not be bright."

"I know." Ji Li replied calmly.

"Knowing that you'd still come?" Mu Ci was a little surprised.

There wasn't much description about Ji Li in the script, but before he became the best actor, he had never been involved in any scandals, so Mu Ci wasn't sure whether she was doing the right thing by bringing Ji Li to the Bian family's banquet.

Come on, when the time comes, she will do her best to protect him.

"What if I say I'm worried about you?"

Mu Ci was thinking about how to deal with the problem later when he suddenly heard Ji Li say this.

The voice was a little low and hoarse, and in the narrow compartment, it seemed as if he was whispering these words into her ear.

Mu Cixin trembled uncontrollably, making her feel flustered and even angry.

Nonsense!

Mu Ci cursed secretly in his heart.

This guy is just talking nonsense and not a single word of truth comes out of his mouth.

However, it seems that this matter is not easy to make Ji Lining willing to disregard his own reputation and show up at the Bian family.

Mu Ci didn't say anything else, and Ji Li also kept silent. They each had their own plans.

The sky gradually darkened and the car stopped at the parking lot on the side of the road.

Mu Ci got out of the car and walked into a store in front. Ji Li parked the car and followed with his long legs.

It is a small shop that looks very unremarkable from the outside. The shop sign is a very complex Chinese and English logo with circles around the strokes. In short, it is difficult to tell what it means, but it looks very designed.

There is a different world inside, the space is very large and it seems to have several floors.

As soon as Mu Ci walked in, a man dressed in a somewhat feminine way came towards him. When he saw Mu Ci, his eyes lit up and he strode towards him with a smile on his face, even opening his arms as if to hug him.

Ji Li was following behind Mu Ci, so she naturally saw it. She also clearly saw the surprise in the man's eyes when he saw Mu Ci appear.

He frowned slightly and said nothing, but the next second he was standing in front of Mu Ci. His tall figure stood in front, almost completely blocking Mu Ci behind him.

His eyes swept over to the man who was jogging towards him. They were full of coldness, and contained a hint of warning and threat.

Oh my god!

The smile on Lusis's face froze instantly, and she stopped halfway.

"Xiao Mu, where did you find such a disgusting boyfriend? He has no manners at all!"

Mu Ci looked at Ji Li who was standing in front of him, coughed lightly, and then patted him. He finally walked out, stood between the two of them, and introduced: "This is Lusis, a friend I hit it off with right away."

"This is... from my studio. His name is Ji Li. I've asked him to be my free laborer and serve as my male companion." Mu Ci turned to explain to Lusis.

As soon as Mu Ci finished speaking, Ji Li's eyes darkened and her body stiffened unconsciously. However, Mu Ci was busy explaining and didn't notice it, but Lusis saw it clearly.

"He's not your boyfriend, huh? Why are you so excited if he's not your boyfriend!" Lusis leaned aside and said in a sarcastic tone.

The fellow named Ji Li just now was like a puppy guarding its food. His restrained and gloomy eyes frightened him so much that he froze and stopped walking.

Because of this, Lusis disliked Ji Li in various ways, and every word he said seemed to be full of thorns, as if he was deliberately trying to provoke this person.

Lusis is a fashion designer whom Mu Ci met when he came to this world. She is a very talented person and founded her own clothing brand. The style of her designs is very special to Mu Ci's taste. The two hit it off at a banquet, and later on, almost all of Mu Ci's clothes were customized by Lusis.

Since Lusis is not a character in the plot, Mu Ci interacts with her using his true personality.

Mu Ci didn't take the undercurrents between the two of them seriously, or rather, she didn't notice them at all, and she went straight to the point.

"Is my stuff ready?"

She had booked a haute couture dress in advance, which she had discussed with Lusis a month ago.

"Of course, your matter comes first to me. I can forget anyone else's but never yours~" Lusis leaned closer to Mu Ci with an intimate look on her face.

Ji Li paused slightly and looked at Mu Ci's reaction. The other party had a calm expression and didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong.

His face darkened for a moment, and he felt a little annoyed for a moment.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Now that my things are ready, I'll try them on later. There's no rush. Here, dress him up and make him look stunning!" Mu Ci raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Li.

Lusis pouted, her face full of reluctance and disgust.

Ji Li looked at him like that and was so angry that she wanted to beat him up, but she managed to hold back.

"No, I can do it myself."

Having said that, he went upstairs without looking back.

The second floor is for men's clothing. If you come here and don't need a designer to follow you, you can usually choose your own clothes.

Lusis looked at his forbearing expression, shrugged, and felt a little gloating.

"Okay, stop teasing him. If you continue to tease him, I will be angry with you." Mu Ci pretended to be angry. Lusis's expression just now was really asking for a beating.

"Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with that kid?" Lusis felt that Mu Ci's attitude towards the kid just now was very different.

"It's just a normal relationship between a boss and a subordinate. Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and get my clothes out. I'll go try them on now. I have a big show to perform at a banquet there later!" Mu Ci waved his hands.

"Okay, okay, I'll get it for you." Lusis looked helpless, but he had just walked a few steps upstairs when he suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly ran downstairs and whispered in Mu Ci's ear.

"Hurry up, Miss Wu will come over to pick up the clothes later! You two must not run into each other." Lusis reminded.

"Am I afraid of her?" Mu Ci sneered.

"Aren't you afraid? There's another one upstairs. Aren't you afraid that Miss Wu will see your lover and take him away directly?" Although neither of them admitted it, Lusis felt that Ji Li and Mu Ci, who just went upstairs, were definitely having an affair.

"How dare she!" Mu Ci snorted. "Wait, who are you talking about, little lover?"

"This is not important. What's important is that if Miss Wu really sees this, you won't be able to guard against her insidious tactics! You are not afraid, but what about the guy upstairs? Since he is from your studio, it will definitely not be good if he is entangled in scandals. Okay, okay, let's just stay away from that kind of insidious villain. If we provoke trouble, it will be bad." Lusis advised earnestly.

It's strange to say, although Mu Ci's temper can't be considered good, it's not bad either. But he just happened to have a conflict with Miss Wu. The two of them disliked each other. On weekdays, they kept to themselves because of work, but once they had a chance to meet, they would completely explode, without any help from each other.

Lusis quickly brought the clothes over, handed them to Mu Ci, and pushed her into the fitting room.

After a while, Ji Li came down.

He changed into a well-tailored high-end white suit, with a spotless white shirt and a dark black tie underneath. He was tall and elegant, exuding a faint aura of indifference.

The whole person seemed to have a natural nobleness and was shining brightly, just looking at me so calmly.

"Where is she?" A cold voice. If it weren't for Mu Ci, he really didn't want to talk to someone at all.

"Fitting room on the third floor." Lusis rarely turned his face away from Ji Li.

Although this puppy has a bad temper, he is indeed very handsome. Alas, the cabbage I had my eyes on was eaten by a dog.

Tsk tsk tsk.

After hearing the answer he wanted, Ji Li turned around and went upstairs.

There weren't many people in the Lusis store at the moment. The third floor was usually reserved for important customers, and at the moment there was no one else except Mu Ci. There were two fitting rooms on the first floor, and the sign next to one of the fitting rooms said "occupied".

Ji Li took a quick look and walked to the sofa next to him and sat down. There were various types of magazines next to him. He picked one up and flipped through it to pass the time.

After a while, the noisy sounds downstairs gradually came closer, accompanied by the clattering sounds of high heels on the stairs.

Mu Ci, who had just zipped up her dress, heard the familiar voice and her heart skipped a beat, cursing inwardly.

Damn it! That idiot Wu Meili is here!
