Chapter 2058

The next morning, after breakfast, Baili Xia received a notification from the main house.

Mu Xuri wanted them all to come to the main house for lunch, saying there was something important to announce.

Baili Xia knew that it was probably about her engagement to Mu Xiaoyao.

This is something Mu Xuri would certainly push forward as soon as possible.

By noon, Baili Xia found Mu Xiaoyao, and the two of them went together to the side hall of the main house to wait.

In the side hall, everyone had already arrived except Mu Xiaojiu, Mu Xuri, and Wen Yu.

Upon seeing Baili Xia, Ziying immediately asked softly.

“Xiaxia, are you really going to marry Brother?”

Last time Mu Xuri urged the marriage openly, Baili Xia agreed directly, which surprised them all.

Although it was announced a long time ago that Brother and Xiaxia would get engaged, they always felt that Xiaxia was a better match for Uncle.

Many times, you could see how Uncle cared for Xiaxia.

Now that Xiaxia has agreed to an engagement with Brother, could it be because she doesn’t remember the past and made a wrong decision?

Baili Xia smiled, glanced at Mu Xiaoyao, and wrapped her arm around Mu Xiaoyao’s arm, looking blissful.

“Yes, we’ve made up our minds.”

Ziying’s gaze fell on Mu Xiaoyao, but he remained as indifferent as ever, without any expression.

She wanted to say something more but hesitated and eventually remained silent.

“Well then, congratulations to you both.”

As soon as the words fell, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

“Hmph, do any of you still think of me as your father?”

Mu Dongyu’s face was grim as he coldly looked at Mu Xiaoyao.

This major matter of his two sons getting married, neither of them had consulted him at all.

If it hadn’t been for Ziying mentioning it to Mu Haoguo, he would have been kept in the dark.

He wasn’t sure if he had failed as a father or if the two sons were simply too immature.

In any case, these issues really stirred his anger once he returned home.

But when he lashed out at his two sons, they just listened without saying a word, leaving him utterly helpless.

Even now, when he spoke again, Mu Lingchuan and Mu Xiaoyao continued to ignore him.

The atmosphere in the side hall became awkward, so quiet you could hear a needle drop.

Mu Haoguo laughed lightly, trying to smooth things over.

“Brother, the kids have grown up; they have the freedom to love now, and we can’t control them.”

Mu Dongyu glared at him but said nothing further, and the side hall fell back into oppressive silence.

A sound of footsteps at the doorway drew everyone’s attention.

They looked over to see Wen Yu pushing Mu Xuri in a wheelchair, with Ning Anran quietly following behind.

Upon seeing Baili Xia, Wen Yu nodded gently in acknowledgment.

Through conversations last night, she had drawn closer to her.

When discussing men, women often find common ground.

The most essential thing is finding solace in each other’s company.

“Uncle, Mrs. Wen.”

Mu Xiaoyao and Baili Xia greeted them together.

Wen Yu settled Mu Xuri in the main seat and took a seat on the chair next to him.

Ning Anran moved to the other side of Mu Xuri, sitting beside him.

Wen Yu glanced at her, a trace of displeasure crossed her elegant and composed face, quickly fading away.

But Baili Xia noticed this, realizing that the relationship between Wen Yu and Ning Anran seemed peculiar.

Perhaps the reason Wen Yu behaved as she did last night was related to Ning Anran?

As the three of them settled in, more confident footsteps echoed at the entrance.

Everyone’s heart tightened—Uncle had arrived.
