Chapter 2034

Wen Yu immediately understood his meaning, nodded slowly, and said, “Alright, once the date is set, I’ll have someone print the invitations this afternoon.”

“This time, we must make the banquet for the two couples splendid.”

“For this matter, I want to hear Uncle’s opinion first.”

Just as the two were in harmonious agreement, boosting the atmosphere, Mu Xiaoyao suddenly spoke.

This remark, who knows how much it embarrassed Mu Xuri.

But, everyone was well aware of Mu Xiaoyao’s character.

The way he talks and acts is just like that; he never knows what it means to beat around the bush and doesn’t care about others’ opinions of him.

With just one sentence, everyone’s gazes instantly fell on Mu Xiaojiu.

Even Ning Anran, who had been silent, sneaked a glance at Mu Xiaojiu, particularly wanting to see the expression on his face at this moment.

Xiaxia is Mr. Xiaojiu’s woman; Ning Anran knew this better than anyone.

Now, Xiaxia and Mu Xiaoyao are getting engaged. In the Eight Big Families, once engaged, the matter is considered settled.

In the future, Uncle will truly be Baili Xia’s uncle. If the two have any improper feelings, it would be an affair.

Mr. Xiaojiu… does he really not care about this matter?

Uncle drank coffee, leisurely and carefree.

Everyone wanted to see what expression he had, but unfortunately, there was none at all on his face.

As if suddenly realizing that everyone was waiting for him to speak, Mu Xiaojiu put down the cup in his hand and looked at Mu Xiaoyao.

“Your matter…”

“Brother, do you not want to get engaged to me?”

Suddenly, a weak voice sounded.

Baili Xia looked up at Mu Xiaoyao, bit her lip, with a slight trace of melancholy in her eyes.

“Our matter, why should it be decided by others? Do you really… dislike me so much?”

Baili Xia spoke, naturally making Mu Xiaojiu’s words seem less important.

Mu Xiaojiu picked up the cup again, took a sip of coffee.

Now, it had become their matter after all.

Baili Xia lowered her eyes, not daring to look at anyone, her small hands clenched tightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

She didn’t want to hear any comments about this matter from Uncle’s mouth.

If nothing is said, there is no harm; it’s the same for everyone.

At least, he didn’t need to make any decisions.

It was he who said, in the future, he would no longer meddle in her affairs.

Her sadness was genuine, and this look in everyone’s eyes was an obvious accusation of Mu Xiaoyao’s indifference to her.

Wen Yu and Mu Xuri exchanged glances at this reaction from Baili Xia, which was beyond their expectations.

Could she really be willing to marry Mu Xiaoyao?

But, she used to be Jiu’s woman…

Both of them had a faint answer in their hearts.

The only reason that made sense of this situation was just one reason.

That is, this girl… indeed hasn’t regained her memory.

“I’m full, I… will leave first.”

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t speak, and suddenly Baili Xia put down the chopsticks and stood up.

She bowed her head and bid farewell to everyone, then turned to leave.

“Hey, Xiaxia, why so soon…” Wen Yu spoke up to stop her.

But Baili Xia had already walked out swiftly, disappearing from everyone’s sight in the blink of an eye.

This scene left everyone bewildered.

Finally, as everyone stood there at a loss, Mu Xiaojiu, who hadn’t said much all morning, spoke lightly.

He glanced at Mu Xiaoyao: “Your woman ran away, aren’t you going to chase her? No man in the Mu family is that irresponsible.”
