Chapter 100: Chapter 98: Some People Are Nothing But a Pretty Face 1 Mu Yan noticed Xiao Nanqing walking in, quietly let go of Jin Jumo’s hand, and moved her small body to hide behind Xiao Nanqing. Xiao Nanqing was slightly stunned, frowning slightly while looking back at Mu Yan, who was clutching the back of his suit with a small pale hand, her eyes half-squinted. He turned to look at Rong Mochen and Jin Jumo. Jin Jumo turned her head, showing the back of her head to someone, and said to Xiao Nanqing with a bit of frustration, "I’m a little hungry, I’ll go get something to eat." With that, she walked towards the refreshment area nearby. Mu Yan glanced at Jin Jumo, "I’ll go too..." "Stay put!" Xiao Nanqing turned his head, sternly glaring at her, his voice cold. Mu Yan pouted, stood in place for a few seconds, then angrily flung aside the back of his suit and turned her body to one side. Xiao Nanqing pressed his thin lips together, squinting, "Have you greeted everyone?" The voice was stern, like an elder reprimanding the young, not polite at all. Mu Yan’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, biting her lip. The good manners she cultivated since childhood showed at this moment. She slowly moved out from behind him, cautiously glancing at Rong Mochen, nodding politely, "Hello, Uncle Rong." "Hmm." Rong Mochen gave her a glance, and then his gaze subtly shifted to Jin Jumo, who was elegantly eating at the refreshment area. Mu Yan also politely greeted Lei Yicheng and Gu Yan, then obediently stood by Xiao Nanqing’s side. Gu Yan found Mu Yan irresistibly cute and fair-skinned, so he couldn’t help but playfully move next to Mu Yan, "Little Yan Yan, I think calling them ’Uncle’ is perfectly fine, but look at me, obviously, I’m not in their age group, right? So, when it comes to addressing me, you should make a distinction, don’t you think?" Mu Yan stared at Gu Yan with her beautiful grape-like big eyes, carefully observing him, and under Gu Yan’s hopeful gaze, she calmly said, "Uncle Gu, stop joking." "..." Gu Yan’s expression instantly turned chaotic, like being pierced by a thousand arrows, he looked at Mu Yan sorrowfully, "Little Yan Yan, is your eyesight still good?" Doesn’t he look way younger than them? He just wanted to hear her call him "Brother," why is it so difficult? Mu Yan kept a serious face, "20/20." "..." Gu Yan was left speechless, choked by her words. Feeling sentimental, young girls nowadays are becoming increasingly less adorable! Xiao Nanqing’s face finally turned somber, his phoenix eyes coldly staring at her little hand angrily smoothing her hair. Seeing the situation, Rong Mochen and the others tactfully turned their gaze away and started making idle conversation. The gaze from above was too penetrating; Mu Yan’s fingers slowed down while combing her hair, her dense eyelashes trembled, gradually lifting her eyelids to look at Xiao Nanqing. Meeting his cold, shadowy phoenix eyes for a second, Mu Yan couldn’t help but gasp, her voice growing even softer, filled with depression and grievance, "Why are you like this? Today is my birthday." Xiao Nanqing squinted his cold phoenix eyes slightly and snorted, "You know it’s your birthday and still made me angry!" "..." Clearly, it was him who first messed with her hair! "Alright, considering it’s your birthday, I won’t argue with you this time. If I hear such words again, see how I’ll deal with you?" Xiao Nanqing snorted coldly. Mu Yan bit her lip reluctantly, hung her head, and didn’t make a sound for a long moment. After a while, she said softly, "Can I go find Sister Jin now?" Seeing her obediently asking for his opinion, Xiao Nanqing raised an eyebrow, "Go ahead." Mu Yan secretly pouted and decisively slipped away. Xiao Nanqing squinted as he watched Mu Yan threading through the crowd, his thin lips pressed into a straight line. "I’m telling you, young master, you need to be gentle with young girls, understand?" Gu Yan, seeing Mu Yan leave, moved next to Xiao Nanqing, squinting like him while watching Mu Yan, speaking earnestly. Xiao Nanqing glanced at him, too lazy to respond. Gu Yan sighed heartbrokenly, so, now, he was pitiful to the point that no one understood his good intentions! "Who is that man? So handsome!" "You don’t know Young Master Ying? You surely know the UK Ying Group, right?" "Ying Group? What’s his relationship with the Ying Group?" "What relationship? He’s the youngest son of the current president of the Ying Group. President Ying is famously doting on him." "Oh my god!" "... And the woman who came with Young Master Ying, could she be Young Master Ying’s girlfriend?" "Who knows? But that woman is quite good-looking." "Tsk, but why do I feel like this woman looks familiar." "... Hey, now that you mention it, I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere too?" "Oh my gosh... Look, isn’t she the one just announced as Huo Shaojun’s girlfriend in front of the media?"
