Lu Xiangzhuang had taken care of others so well that he had discovered his own talents. Whenever Mu Beiyao stirred even a little, he would wake up. However, it seemed that he had noticed the little woman staring at him, her gaze unreserved and appraising.
Lu Xiangzhuang slowly curled the corners of his lips. Mu Beiyao had realized something was off!
Just as Mu Beiyao attempted to pull her hand away, Lu Xiangzhuang turned his arm and directly pulled her hand into his embrace, locking it against his waist.
Were they just going to leave after looking enough? Was this the nature of Mu Zong's little daughter?
"Lu Xiangzhuang, you’re pretending to be asleep! Let go of my hand!"
"You were the one who wrapped your arm around me to sleep! I can’t just do a good deed without letting you know that you took advantage of me once you wake up, can I?"
Lu Xiangzhuang opened his eyes, which sparkled as he leaned down to look at Mu Beiyao, as if illuminated by a light.
"How have I taken advantage of you? If anyone is taking advantage, it’s you," Mu Beiyao replied, lifting her chin and stretching her neck.
A fleeting kiss landed on Lu Xiangzhuang's chin.
The man's heart raced violently! He never expected that even at his age, he could still experience such a thrilling moment!
He once thought that Little Princess was the most troublesome! Strong women were the hardest to manage!
He had been busy with family affairs, probably just to honor his father and support his sister's children in the future.
Yet at this moment, he yearned for a home—a tangible home with Mu Beiyao and himself.
Without hesitation, Lu Xiangzhuang leaned in and captured Mu Beiyao's lips.
Mu Beiyao seemed stunned. It wasn’t until she felt something soft between her lips and an unusual sensation on her tongue that she reacted.
She pushed the man away in a flurry. "Ugh! I didn’t brush my teeth! Did you? What are you doing?!"
After saying this, she awkwardly pulled the blanket over her head!
Wasn’t this just spitting on her own face? Lu Xiangzhuang was such a gentleman; he must be disgusted!
But then Mu Beiyao thought again—he was the one taking care of her; he knew her situation well. It was he who had initiated the kiss!
Realizing this, Mu Beiyao emerged from under the blanket again. The man hadn’t moved; his breathing seemed heavy, and the look in his eyes held an indescribable emotion.
Thus, they both sat in awkward silence. Just then, Mu Beiming appeared right on cue, becoming an unintentional third wheel.
Mu Beiyao began arranging the plans for his new home! As he handed everything over to his younger brother, Lu Xiangzhuang quietly noted down his requests.
Soon, they found themselves aboard a luxurious private jet.
"When did you become so capable? Is your company really that wealthy? And how did you manage to get this private jet?" Mu Beiming questioned, astonished. "Weren't we just saying that your family's assets are still overseas?"
"That's a great question!" Lu Xiangyi chimed in, eager to contribute. It was hard not to shine with so many supportive friends around!
Mu Beiyao, wanting to be like an ostrich, sat quietly to the side, not wanting to speak.
Su Xing smiled and explained, "Miss Lu, didn't you notice? This is your Lu Family's private jet! Our President Mu casually mentioned wanting to enjoy a private flight, and someone arranged it right away! The most advanced plane in the country was purchased by Lu Group five years ago. Remember when our Lady Mu said she would buy one for herself once she started making money? Who would have thought she'd end up in someone else's home instead!"
"Hehehe! Now that you're part of the Lu Family, Su Zong, your status at the company might not hold up!"
Su Xing proudly declared, "Then I'll just be the First Lady of Shen Group! You two can team up if you want! Just try bringing Rong Xigu along! He definitely can't compete with my Shen Jingyu!" Su Xing was brimming with confidence.
"Wow, when did you start relying on a man? You're bold enough to flaunt it now?" Both friends were utterly shocked.
But Su Xing disagreed: "I'm not relying on a man; I've just come to terms with my identity! Shen Jingyu is destined to be mine; identity doesn't matter. I just want to show that I will always stand by him!"
"Impressive! Just wait until he comes to your wedding!" Lu Xiangyi gave a thumbs up.
Mu Beiyao genuinely felt happy for his friend. "Darling! You've finally seen the light! Congratulations!"
He also wished Su Xing well, his gaze shifting towards the back where President Lu sat, filled with anticipation.
Mu Beiyao mumbled shyly, "We haven't even started planning yet."
On the other hand, Lu Xiangzhuang had different thoughts. His conversation with Mu Beiming was proving quite valuable. "What does your father like? Are there any projects you need from Lu Group? What kind of wedding does your sister want?"
Mu Beiming pondered as he stepped out, thinking about whether Du's dad would approve of him bringing home a brother-in-law.
Mu Beiming's mind was filled with images of his parents urging him to get married. They would surely be satisfied this time! After finishing with his older sister, he would undoubtedly become the next target for their matchmaking efforts.
So, Mu Beiming thought to himself, what he needed most was to introduce a reliable girlfriend; otherwise, his mother would nag him to death. She was far more ruthless than his sister and would resort to physical means at the slightest disagreement. After all, he was still a big CEO with no standing at home.
Then, Mu Beiming's complaints briefly startled Lu Xiangzhuang, who had come to visit. It wasn't until a few days later that Lu Xiangzhuang realized just how gentle and loving Zhang Ji Niang was! In the future, the son-in-law would practically be treated like half a son in their family—his status would definitely surpass that of their biological son.
The one who suffered the most in this whole affair was Mu Beiming. However, before he could marry and have children, he felt like a mere accessory in the family.
Of course, all of this was a matter for later! Right now, they had arrived in a familiar city on familiar ground. To his surprise, after disembarking from the plane, he was treated like a hero, with a grand welcome ceremony organized for them!
Not only were they hailed as heroes for disaster relief, but they were also recognized as exemplary entrepreneurs contributing to society. Each of them had earned quite a few flattering titles for their companies.
The three women enjoyed their freedom and went home to rest after the celebration, while the men had to attend company meetings! Even so, after a night of calm, Mu Beiyao slept soundly. Upon waking up, he wanted to invite friends out for a meal.
Wandering around the living room in his pajamas, he noticed a luxury car parked outside with a man sitting inside. As the lights in the living room turned on, the man turned off the engine and gradually approached. When Mu Beiyao saw his face clearly, she felt a flutter in her heart.
Outside, everything was draped in silver; winter had arrived in their city. A light snow had fallen that afternoon. The man strolled through the snow, and the shadows cast by the streetlights gave Mu Beiyao a sense of romance.
