Chapter 1957

Mu Xiaojiu saw them arrive, nodded at Mu Lingchuan, then gave Baili Xia a deep look, and continued discussing with those people.

Ning Anran felt a bit angry inside. She was clearly walking in front, and she even dressed like this especially for Mr. Xiaojiu.

Yet, he didn’t even glance at her.

She followed Wen Yu to Mu Xuri’s side, standing right next to Mu Xiaojiu.

She couldn’t believe Mr. Xiaojiu wouldn’t notice her!

All the patience and self-sacrifice from before had now turned into unwillingness.

Baili Xia was already with Mu Xiaoyao. Who in the Mu family didn’t know they were soon to be engaged?

Baili Xia had always been clinging to Mu Xiaoyao and showed no interest in Mr. Xiaojiu.

Since she didn’t want Mr. Xiaojiu, why not let him go?

Baili Xia didn’t know how to care for Mr. Xiaojiu, but she did.

She could very much care for Mr. Xiaojiu!

Ning Anran’s palm tightened. Though her heart was turbulent, at least her face remained graceful and composed.

With so many men’s admiring gazes on her, she couldn’t disgrace Mr. Xiaojiu.

The scorching gazes seemed to penetrate her clothes, seeing her body clearly.

Ning Anran didn’t feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, she felt warm all over.

Being able to stir a man’s nerves and invoke their desires anytime, anywhere, was a woman’s triumph.

She had absolute confidence that if she could ignite those men’s desires, she could definitely make Mr. Xiaojiu interested in her.

She wouldn’t lose to anyone, definitely not!

Seeing Baili Xia and her group, Mu Ziying immediately greeted them to come over.

Mu Lingchuan placed Zimo at Mu Ziying’s table, gave a few instructions, then turned to join Mu Xiaojiu’s table.

Baili Xia looked towards that table and vaguely saw a few people’s expressions were somewhat serious, fearing they were discussing something important.

Indeed, this banquet wasn’t just a simple social gathering.

“Back so soon?”

Baili Xia was lost in thought when suddenly a gentle voice came from behind, pulling her out of her reverie.

She turned to see a handsome face before her.

“Jin…”

Dongfang Jin looked at Baili Xia, his eyes flashing a hint of complexity.

“Yes, I just got back yesterday.” Baili Xia said.

She glanced at Mu Ziying beside her, guessing it was him who had informed Dongfang Ji.

Her matters were truly impossible to hide from anyone.

“Did you gain anything from the trip to Bei Miao?”

Dongfang Jin stared intently into Baili Xia’s eyes.

This girl’s eyes were just as clear as before. He wondered if she remembered the past.

After he talked to Mu Xiaojiu about Bei Fengjin, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly had Baili Xia sent to Bei Miao. He suspected Mu Xiaojiu was up to something.

“Not much gain, I just went to watch Brother You’s match.” Baili Xia smiled, then suddenly shook her head.

“No, there was a gain. The biggest gain was seeing Brother You’s team win with my own eyes.”

“Your relationship with Bei Tianyou seems pretty good.”

Dongfang Jin nodded, seemingly implying something.

However, he didn’t dwell on the topic.

He just looked at Baili Xia and smiled lightly, “That’s good too, less to worry about. Go out and unwind occasionally, and come back after you’ve had enough fun.”

Just as he was about to say more, a cold voice suddenly came from behind.

“Don’t you have your own table?”

Baili Xia’s gaze passed over Dongfang Jin, landing on someone behind him.

Just moments ago, he looked deep in thought discussing serious matters, so why did he suddenly come over here?
