In the afternoon, Chen Siqi dressed up nicely and sneaked out of the Chen family, as if she was deliberately avoiding Li Mu.
Li Mu saw all this and found it a little funny. It seemed that there was indeed someone that this girl liked at Zhou Peining's birthday party, and it was very likely that he was her unrequited love, otherwise, with Chen Siqi's fearless character, how could she be so embarrassed.
Li Mu was a little curious, who could win Chen Siqi's favor? Besides, he had promised Zhou Peining to attend her birthday dinner, so he followed Chen Siqi quietly.
Chen Siqi also walked a long way out of the Chen Mansion, looked around to make sure there was no one around, then took out her car from her Sumeru bag and drove away.
After the car drove away, Chen Siqi felt a little proud. She finally got rid of Li Mu. She couldn't help but sigh at her own cleverness. She felt much better and hummed a little tune, not knowing that Li Mu was sitting in the passenger seat of her car.
After driving for half an hour, the car stopped in front of a star-rated hotel. Chen Siqi handed the car keys to the parking attendant, and in a good mood, he stuffed a stack of tips to the parking attendant, and then went in with the gift. This made the parking attendant smile. The guests who came today were really generous. They gave stacks of tips at every turn. The tips he earned today were more than a month's salary.
After Chen Siqi had been in for a while, Li Mu walked in slowly. This hotel was owned by the Zhou family. In order to hold a dinner for Zhou Peining, it was closed to the public tonight.
When entering the gate, Li Mu was also questioned. After he gave Zhou Peining's name, he was let in, but he was not asked for an invitation letter or anything.
Since the elders were not invited, almost all the children of the big and small families in Kyoto, whether invited or not, came after hearing the news. Zhou Peining was also a person who liked lively occasions, and her Zhou family was not short of money, so she welcomed anyone who came to celebrate her birthday, and it was quite lively.
Entering the banquet hall, Zhou Peining was dressed like a little princess, welcoming guests at the door. When she saw Li Mu coming, her eyes lit up and she ran over and said, "Brother Li Mu, I thought you weren't coming! Siqi just told me that you couldn't come today because of something, and I felt a little regretful. I didn't expect you to come right after she arrived!"
"Haha, that girl Siqi was just joking with you. I just received a call outside." Li Mu laughed, but did not expose Chen Siqi's lie.
"This girl actually lied to me!" Zhou Peining said in annoyance.
"This is a gift for you." Li Mu took out two Dingyuan Pills and handed them to Zhou Peining.
"Thank you, Brother Li Mu!"
"Haha, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll go find Siqi." Li Mu said.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Peining, Li Mu quickly found Chen Siqi. She and Sun Yating were sitting in a corner. She was holding a glass of champagne in her hand and staring at a gentle and elegant young man in the field with a silly smile on her face.
"Siqi, Pei Ning's birthday dinner is so lively! All the people who came are scion of prominent families in Kyoto!" Sun Yating looked envious.
"Why didn't your cousin come?" Sun Yating continued.
Seeing that Chen Siqi didn't respond for a long time, Sun Yating shook Chen Siqi: "Siqi, I'm talking to you!"
"Ah? What?" Chen Siqi was stunned.
"Where is your cousin?" Sun Yating asked unhappily.
"He is so aloof, why would he come to participate in this kind of event? I didn't even invite him!" Chen Siqi said.
"Who is that man? I saw you staring at him!" Sun Yating asked, pointing at the gentle and elegant man.
"Who...who has been staring at him?" Chen Siqi asked with a guilty conscience.
"Do you like him? You are so outstanding, if you like him, just go after him! As the saying goes, it's easy for a girl to chase a boy. You see, you have quite a few competitors. If you don't work harder, you will be snatched away by others." Sun Yating said.
"Oh, how could Brother Ziji like me with my carefree personality?" Chen Siqi sighed.
"You, it turns out that our Siqi also gets afraid sometimes?" Sun Yating joked.
"Why are you two sitting here? I've been looking for you for a long time!" Zhou Peining came over and said to them.
"I don't know anyone here, so it's nice to sit here, hehe~" said Sun Yating.
"Siqi knows him, why don't you ask her to introduce him to you? By the way, Siqi, where is Brother Li Mu?" Zhou Peining said.
"Didn't I tell you? He can't come because of something!" Chen Siqi said.
"You lied to me. He just gave me a gift!" Zhou Peining said.
"What?" Chen Siqi looked around quickly, feeling nervous.
Chen Siqi was a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and her spiritual awareness was so strong that she quickly found Li Mu. She saw Li Mu sitting at a table not far from her, holding a glass of red wine, shaking the glass, and looking at her with a smile on his face.
"Oh no, he found out!" Chen Siqi's heart skipped a beat.
"What's wrong, Siqi?" Zhou Peining asked when he saw Chen Siqi's panicked look.
"Nothing, you are the protagonist today, so don't waste time with us!" Chen Siqi quickly sent Zhou Peining away, for she was afraid that her lie would be exposed.
"Okay, then you guys have fun by yourselves. I'll accompany you guys some other time." Zhou Peining said and left.
After Zhou Peining left, Chen Siqi hurriedly ran to Li Mu and said, "Hey, brother, how long have you been sitting here?" She still held a glimmer of hope in her heart.
"I just sat down and didn't notice you looking like a fangirl!" Li Mu said.
"Who's crazy about you? I just admire Brother Ziji." Chen Siqi said in a low voice.
"Haha, Siqi, long time no see!" At this moment, a slightly magnetic voice sounded. The person was Ma Ziji, the young master of the Ma family in Kyoto.
"Zi...Brother Ziji!" Chen Siqi was a little nervous.
"Haha, how come you feel so strange after not seeing each other for a few years? I still remember that when we were little, you always followed me around!" Ma Ziji said with a smile.
"Brother Ma, this Chen Siqi is a violent girl. What do you have to say to her? Let's go!" Zhang Jingxuan whispered behind Ma Ziji.
"Zhang Jingxuan! You are looking for...you misunderstood me." Chen Siqi has very good hearing, so Zhang Jingxuan's words naturally did not escape her ears. She said while suppressing her anger.
"Haha, how could I not know what kind of person Siqi is? I just like her frankness!" Ma Ziji said with a smile.
"Like..." Chen Siqi was extremely happy when she heard Ma Ziji say the word "like".
"This must be Master Li Mu, right? I've heard of your great name for a long time! My name is Ma Ziji." Ma Ziji adjusted his glasses and stretched out his right hand to Li Mu.
Li Mu did not refuse and shook hands with him gently.
"That's it for now. My friends are waiting for me. I'll go over first and come back to see you later." Ma Ziji said.
