As a famous and highly sought-after bachelor in Ningzhou City, Nan Sheng's presence would naturally cause quite a stir.
Seeing the person she had been waiting all night, Mu Nuanxi's face lit up with a bright smile as she hurried over.
Seeing her come forward, the eager women stopped.
Ningzhou's two big aristocratic families, The South's Mu family has wealth, and the North's Nan family has power, this is not sung out of thin air.
Naturally, if Mu Nuanxi is there, then it was not their turn to strike up a conversation with Nan Sheng. Moreover, news had spread that the two families were planning to marry each other.
The target of the marriage is naturally Nan Sheng and Mu Nuanxi.
"Brother Sheng." Mu Nuanxi approached him.
Nan Sheng had been forced to come by Nan Pei. Seeing so many women in this scene, he felt even more frustrated.
"You're here too." Nan Sheng lowered his head and spoke to Mu Nuanxi.
He was too tall. He lowered his head and spoke with a gentle expression.
The girls at the side were so excited that they wanted to replace Mu Nuanxi.
"We don't dare to not come to sister Nan Pei's party." Mu Nuanxi chuckled.
Nansheng looked far away and saw his sister talking to someone over there. The person's back looked pretty good, and she is wearing a red bathrobe. He couldn't see her face but felt that she is dazzling.
"Are you free tomorrow? I want to treat you to a meal." Mu Nuanxi invited him.
Nan Sheng's eyes raised. "Treat me to dinner? Why?"
"Think of it as a thank you for letting me visit your company last time to write a paper. I'm person who always repays what is owed."
"Alright, let's make an appointment."
Mu Nuanxi smiled and lowered her head. Her eyes swept over the patterns embroidered on the dark blue bathrobe on Nan Sheng's body. The originally gentle eyes froze and changed.
This pattern was only used in the courtyard of the Nan family. Why had she not noticed it before?
Until Nan Sheng walked away from her, Mu Nuanxi could not recover.
Nan Pei was talking to Wen Li, but the girl in front of her didn't look like she likes talking too much. She had spoken many things, but she didn't mean to reply much.
Nan Pei had no other choice. Seeing that the banquet was about to begin, the waiter she had found had already arrived. She could only give up on the idea of conversing with the person in front of her.
"Haven't seen you for a long time. Which girl did you hook up with?" Nan Sheng came over with a cup in his hand.
He knew exactly what his sister's purpose was in hosting this banquet. Wasn't she just looking for a model?
Wen Li stared at Nan Sheng. She had a memory in her head. When she was five years old at the Mu family, she had seen Nan Sheng before.
At that time, he seemed to be wearing a white suit, hair combed up, handsome and cute.
After so many years had passed, the young master of back then had grown into an elegant young master.
"Which family's Miss is this? That she is worthy of your attention." Nan Sheng stared at Wen Li, who was wearing a half-mask.
"Second Miss Mu, Mu Wen Li." Nan Pei meaningfully introduced the person as she stared at Nan Sheng.
The smile at the corner of Nan Sheng's mouth was sluggish for a moment, then he turned his eyes to the girl beside him.
Nan Pei saw this and knew that she had guessed correctly.
More than ten years ago, Mu Kun and his wife had gone out to earn a living. The young Mu Chenyu and the newborn Mu Nuanxi were given to Old Master Mu to be taken care of.
The Nan family and the Mu family were friends. Nan Sheng and Mu Chenyu were studying in the same primary school. Because of this, he often went to and from the Mu family and knew the Mu siblings.
Mu Kun and his wife returned after four or five years. They brought Mu Wenli and Mu Chenxing back. At that time, Mu Wenli was already five years old and looked cute.
Nansheng went back to the Mu family several times and would talk to her about it. Later, Mu Wen Li got lost and Nan Sheng followed to find her for several days.
"Wen Li?" Nan Sheng's eyes were deep and vaguely revealing his shock.
Wen Li nodded slightly. She still remembered the first time Nansheng saw her when she was young. They only played together a few times, and then she was lost.
"Don't get excited, in front of so many people. " Nan Pei reminded him.
Mu Nuanxi stood where she was, with a pale face as she looked at Nan Sheng, who was talking to Wen Li with a smile on his face.
"You were young back then, do you still remember me now?" Nan Sheng was obviously much more patient when talking to Wen Li.
She nods. "I remember."
Back then, he had always come to the Mu Family with Mu Chenyu, and he did not stay away from her because Mu Chenyu didn't like seeing her.
"You've grown so big." Nan Sheng smiled at her.
The girl in front of him is no longer that cute little girl.
Nan Pei wanted to see what Nan Sheng and Wen Li would say, but she was dragged by the assistant.
Since she hadn't been on stage for such a long time, it was for her to get down to business.
"Before the party begins, I sincerely thank all the friends who have come to join me. Today is not a formal occasion. As long as you enjoy yourselves..." Nan Pei stood beside the piano and spoke gracefully.
"Before the banquet officially begins, we would like to invite Miss Mu to play a song for us. Miss Mu is a very famous pianist. It's our good fortune for everyone to be able to enjoy themselves."
An endless stream of applause sounded, but for a long time, they did not hear the music.
After a minute of applause, no one went up. Everyone started to look around, and they did not see Mu Nuanxi either.
"Where is the person?" Nan Pei looked around.
She had been here just now, but Mu Nuanxi had disappeared.
It's their idea to play the piano, and soon the person is gone.
A beautiful short-haired girl came to Wen Li, "Miss Mu, why don't you go up?"
Just now, Nan Pei hadn't explained which young lady of the Mu Family had come. It had been a long time but they have not seen Mu Nuanxi, so they started to look at the second young lady of the Mu Family whose face is not revealed.
"You found the wrong person." Wen Li put down the cup in her hand.
"Of course not. Aren't you the Second Miss Mu?" The short-haired woman stared at Wen Li.
"That's right. Since they had already said that Miss Mu will perform and the Mu family's Eldest Miss is not here, the Second Miss should go up." Someone from the crowd added.
The people around started to agree.
Originally, the Mu family's little daughter had been particularly eye-catching. Now that they had the opportunity to drag her out of the shadows and carefully examine her, they had quickly surrounded her.
"It's fine to go up, Miss Mu. We all welcome you as an official acquaintance."
Most of the people here are young people, so they don't have so many frames when they think about problems.
"Isn't this too bad? Didn't the Mu family's Second Miss say that she was found in the countryside? How could she play the piano?" The assistant walked to Nan Pei and spoke.
Nan Pei didn't look too good. It seemed like Mu Wen Li wouldn't be able to solve this unless she went up.
It's official Mu Nuanxi is a white lotus who helped her sister get kidnapped because she was jealous her little sister got all the attention of Nan Sheng.
