She stopped and raised her head to look at him. Her small face was slightly red from the alcohol, and her clear eyes were as bright as the stars shining above their heads.

The corner of her mouth curved into a smile. She lowered her head, and a trace of crafty light flashed across her face. Then, she quietly chanted.

"Guan Jiu Jiu, on the River Continent, a beautiful lady, a gentleman —"

"Mu Yurou!"

She had only recited four sentences when she was interrupted by his angry roar. When she raised her head, she saw that his already unsightly expression had turned even darker.

"Do you think I'm a cultural idiot? Who doesn't know that this poem is "Guan Hu"? "

Mu Wenwen quickly looked down and stuck out his tongue.

"Oh, oh, sorry I got a bit dizzy from drinking, I'll think about it again!"

She rubbed her head in concentration.

Actually, she really did bully him because he was a cultural idiot. She heard that he grew up in a luxurious country, so she thought that he wouldn't have any research on these ancient poems, so she only recited it to him because "Qi Ao" was too awkward for him to pronounce. Back then, when she was in the Mentor's class, she also didn't know how she recited it all at once!

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally came up with something that he neither knew nor wanted to talk about.

"There is no other way. Geng Geng was sleepless, as if he was worried about something. "Without wine, I will swim with Ao …"

She shook her head and recited the entire poem. Then, she carefully raised her head to look at him. This time, he didn't speak. From what she could tell, he was about to fall asleep due to her singing.

She must have never heard of it, so even if she was singing incorrectly, she couldn't say anything. When she got home, she washed up and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

In the middle of the night, she was awoken from a good dream and had to open her eyes, grumbling in displeasure.

"Gu Mo City, what are you doing?" "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep …"

"Mu Ran Ran, say it again. What was that poem you recited to me tonight?"

Gu Mo Cheng's tone seemed to contain a lot of anger and unwillingness. Just as he finished his work, he casually flipped through "Qi Ao" and found that he had been tricked by her once again.

He couldn't help but be angry and wake her up. This woman was truly audacious. She actually dared to fool him! It was one thing to fool him once, but he had even fooled him twice!

"Ugh …"

Mu Yanyu knew that he had learned the truth, so she could only plead for mercy.

"Alright, alright, I'll recite 'Qi Ao' for you!"

Only then did he let go of her with satisfaction, but his black eyes were fixed on her, as if he was warning her that if she tried to lie to him this time, she would die miserably.

Mu Ran cleared his throat and started to recite.

Look at the green bamboo. There were bandits and noblemen, as if they were sparring, as if they were grinding, as if they were caressing. "If there is a bandit, you shall not be martyred in the end …

Qi Ao is a gentleman who praises the combination of virtue and talent. It fully shows that the true beauty of men lies in their temperament, talent and cultivation.

Because of this poem, the exceptional and elegant man that had always existed in her mind suddenly overlapped with the strong and handsome face in front of her. When she focused on reciting, her eyes emitted a tranquil and serene light that made Gu Mo City unable to shift her gaze away for a long time.

They looked at each other, as if an indescribable atmosphere was rising in the surroundings, until the emotion forced both of their minds to retreat, and then he leaned over her and closed his eyes.

However, this love only lasted for a few days before it ended when he received a phone call and left.

He didn't even say goodbye before he left. That day, when she went to the supermarket to buy a lot of food, she came back to find that the small apartment was empty.

Later on, she knew that the people from the Dragon Gate had come back on vacation and that the person in his heart had come back. Even though she didn't love him, a trace of sadness still flashed through her heart.

That night, she stood upside down in the small pavilion for half a night, taking away every single detail of the past ten or so days with him from her memories. Whether it was his anger, his smile, his warm embrace, everything was completely taken away.

His belongings were still there, and she starched the clothes he was wearing and folded them neatly into his huge suitcase.

He did not send for it, and she did not pack it back for him as she had done the last two times. The large suitcase stood like that in the corner of her little living room, so large that it contrasted so sharply with the small size of her little living room that she would glance at it every day as she went out.

The 25th day of the 3rd lunar month was Mu Yunhai's 50th birthday celebration.

According to the Mu family's usual high-profile style of doing things, and the Mu family's imposing manner of calling the wind and summoning the rain in this city, this birthday banquet could not help but be arranged without restraint in order to brazenly show off.

Indeed, a week before her birthday, Mu Ran had received a call from Mu Lingfeng requesting her to "dress up" so she knew what Mu Lingfeng meant by emphasizing the importance of this "dress up".

Previously, at the Mu family's residence, she rarely attended such an event and would occasionally dress up as she pleased, so no one would pay attention to her. Furthermore, she would hastily circle around in a circle in front of the crowd before hastily fleeing, so very few people knew of the Mu family's Fourth Young Miss.

And this time, Mu Lingfeng was willing to let go of all his grudges in his heart to come and invite her. It must have been out of respect for that person, the man who had changed the name of her husband to Gu Mo City.

After the birth, Mu Linfeng was not in a good condition and his mind was not in a good state. He didn't come back until after the new year to officially take over the Mu Clan from Gu Mo Cheng.

Gu Mo City was truly worthy of its legendary iron hand. They had a ruthless and tough character, which pushed the Mu Clan from the brink of bankruptcy to the horizon. With his exceptional talent and management ability, he was able to bring the Mu Clan back to life and became a legend of the industry within a few short months.

Everyone was envious of Yun Hai for finding such an outstanding and capable son-in-law, and the entire Mu family looked at her in a new light. Even Mu Lingfeng, who never gave her a nice face, called her personally to let her return to attend Mu Yunhai's banquet.

Perhaps in the eyes of these people, she, the unknown Fourth Miss, would finally be able to take it out.

After hanging up the phone with Mu Lingfeng, the corner of Mu Ran's mouth curled up into a cold smile. Perhaps the joy now was their pain in the future, and the sweeter they laughed now, the more painful it would become in the future.

But she was going to do it before everything went wrong. Although she knew Mu Lingfeng would definitely call him, she still called him.

After all, the two of them had to discuss how to match their gowns for such a grand occasion. They would not meet each other on a daily basis, lest they meet on the day of their birthday. She didn't care, but could he afford to disgrace her?

Furthermore, since it was Mu Yunhai's birthday, she had to obtain a present from her fourth daughter. Since she didn't have money, she could only rely on him …

She was lost in her thoughts, so she didn't notice that the phone in her hand had already connected. When the person on the other end of the line saw that she didn't make a sound, Mo Mo Mo spat out two words.

"What's the matter?"

Her voice was calm and without any emotion, as if those ten days of gentle companionship were just a dream. Mu Wenwen's hand, which was holding his phone, trembled. Although her heart was cold, it wasn't as heartless as his.

Facing such an indifferent and resolute attitude from him, she didn't know what to say for a moment. The silence on the other end of the phone seemed to be so intense that only the heartbeats of the two of them could be heard.

After a long time, his voice seemed to have come from the distant horizon, ethereal and indifferent.

"I'll find someone to choose for your dress. I've already prepared a birthday present for you!"

He seemed to know all the things that she wanted to say. She opened her mouth and only said two words in the end.

"Thank you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the other end of the phone hung up, as if it was unnecessary to say anything more. She shook her head in self-mockery and went to the orphanage.

The children of the orphanage pulled her along and asked her why the handsome brother hadn't come to play with them for so long, so she had to lie to them in the name of her busy work.

Seeing that her expression wasn't good, Little Xuan hurriedly asked with concern.

"Young lady, you don't look well. Are you feeling well?"

She was shocked. Was her mood that bad? It was written all over her face? Pretending to be nonchalant, he smiled and said to Little Xuan,

"Oh, I'm not. I might be a bit tired these few days, so I'll be fine after going back to sleep!"
