Mr. Mu appears aloof in public, but secretly proposes marriage and kisses.

Meng Shuyan angrily scolded Mu Yunfan, and then quickly ran into her room to wash up.

Mu Yunfan was bewildered by the scolding. He scratched his head and muttered, "My brother doesn't like you anyway, who are you dressing up for?"

Fortunately, although the roads in Beijing are wide, there are also many cars, and traffic jams are common all year round.

When Mu Tingshen and Su Muran arrived, Meng Shuyan was already dressed up.

She changed into a fitted silver-white dress and put on full makeup. If she hadn't been pressed for time, she would definitely have called a hairdresser to do her hair. Luckily, she had a silver hat at home that could cover most of her head.

At home, wearing a pair of nine-centimeter high heels, she visually appeared to be a head taller than Mu Yunfan.

Mu Yunfan was stunned when he saw her walk out of the room!

She looks completely different now compared to how she was drinking last night.

"How is it? Pretty, right?"

Meng Shuyan spun around and asked him with a smug smile.

Mu Yunfan nodded: "Beautiful, you could walk the red carpet."

"cut."

Meng Shuyan curled her lip in disdain: "Who wants to walk the red carpet? But you don't need to praise my looks, praise my talent. When my painting wins a big award, I'll definitely dress up even more beautifully to accept the award."

"Your dad is my boss. If you marry my brother, my mom thinks I'll benefit from it. But you like painting, and my brother isn't an artist. What good will you get from marrying him?"

Mu Yunfan asked, quite puzzled.

Meng Shuyan replied, "We could hold an art exhibition! But holding an art exhibition costs a lot of money, and my dad doesn't have that much money for me to do. However, I always thought that he was trying so hard to match me with Mu Tingshen so that Mu Tingshen could support me. Now I realize that it was just to fulfill his own unrequited love dream."

"jingle."

Doorbell rang.

Mu Yunfan was about to open the door when Meng Shuyan beat him to it and bumped him aside.

She quickly straightened her clothes and proudly opened the door.

The person who rang the doorbell was Mu Tingshen.

When the door opened, he was startled by Meng Shuyan's appearance.

Then, frowning, she said venomously, "Dressing yourself up like the Pleiades, who are you planning to scare?"

"You are the one who resembles the Pleiades star, your whole family is like the Pleiades star."

Meng Shuyan never expected that after spending time and effort to dress up, she would be humiliated by Mu Tingshen in this way, and she was so angry that she immediately retorted.

"Naive, move aside, I'm here to find my brother."

Mu Tingshen was too lazy to argue with her and walked straight inside.

Su Muran followed behind Mu Tingshen, and greeted Meng Shuyan with a smile as they passed by.

Meng Shuyan stepped aside with a dark face, then saw Su Muran smiling at her. She sneered and said, "Don't be so smug. You're just a tool he uses to annoy his elders. He doesn't genuinely like you."

"Who says I don't truly love her? If I didn't love her, would I marry her? Why wouldn't I marry you?"

Mu Tingshen stopped and turned around, coldly retorting.

Meng Shuyan angrily shouted, "You won't marry me because I'm the one Aunt Zhao chose. You just don't want her to be happy, you're just trying to spite her, that's why you won't choose me. If Aunt Zhao were satisfied with Su Muran, you definitely wouldn't like her either."

"Why don't you go tell Aunt Zhao and let her try this method?"

Mu Tingshen chuckled and made the suggestion.

Mu Yunfan quickly intervened to stop the argument: "Stop arguing."

"Shut up."

"Shut up."

Mu Tingshen and Meng Shuyan rebuked in unison.

However, Mu Tingshen quickly became unhappy.

Frowning and displeased, she said, "Why are you being so mean to him? Your dad's his boss, not yours. Do you really think you're some kind of princess?"

"So what if I yelled at him? Didn't you yell at him too?"

Meng Shuyan retorted, unconvinced.

Mu Tingshen sneered, "He's my brother, it's only natural for me to be harsh with him. Who are you to him? Why should you be harsh with my brother?"

"Yunfan, come with me. Stay away from her from now on."

After refuting Meng Shuyan, Mu Tingshen warned Mu Yunfan to leave with him.

Mu Yunfan nodded sheepishly, said goodbye to Meng Shuyan, and left with Mu Tingshen.

Meng Shuyan was furious.

But he couldn't win an argument with Mu Tingshen, and fighting the night watchman was out of the question, so he could only swallow his anger and watch them leave.

"Hello, sister-in-law, I am Mu Yunfan."

Mu Yunfan only dared to greet Su Muran after they left, lest Meng Shuyan hear and be unhappy.

Su Muran quickly took out the fountain pen and gave it to him, saying, "This is a gift for you. I didn't know what you liked, but this should come in handy."

Mu Yunfan took it and said happily, "I know this pen; it's very expensive. Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Have you got a meal yet?"

Mu Tingshen asked him.

Mu Yunfan shook his head. He had just woken up from a hangover and had no time to eat.

Mu Tingshen said, "Your sister-in-law didn't eat much this morning. I'll take you to eat and we can chat."

After saying that, he asked him to get in the car as well, and then instructed the driver to take them to Maoyuan.

Maoyuan is a private restaurant, and the owner is from Jiangnan.

Therefore, most of the dishes in their restaurant are Jiangnan cuisine, which suits Su Muran's taste.

"Brother, don't you dislike sweet things? Why did you come to this place?"

Mu Yunfan took a sip of porridge and frowned.

Who puts sugar in plain congee? It's not like it's eight-treasure congee.

"Your sister-in-law likes it."

Mu Tingshen watched Su Muran drink her porridge with tender eyes, and then asked the waiter to bring Mu Yunfan another dish with Beijing flavor.

Mu Yunfan glanced at Mu Tingshen, then at Su Muran, and smiled knowingly.

When Su Muran went to the restroom, he whispered to Mu Tingshen, "Brother, it seems you genuinely like your sister-in-law, and you didn't bring her back just to spite Mom and Dad."

Mu Tingshen smiled and patted him on the shoulder, praising, "You have good taste; you're much smarter than them."

Mu Yunfan smiled shyly after being praised by his brother.

Mu Tingshen quickly looked at him again and said earnestly, "Yunfan, I hope you understand that no matter what kind of entanglement I have with Mom and Dad, it has no estrangement from you. Don't suffer or get hurt because of our issues. Just know that whether it's me or Mom and Dad, we all care about you very much."

"Brother, can't you two be like before? We were so happy before, why does it have to be like this now?"

Mu Yunfan's voice was sore, and his tone was choked with emotion.

He grew up under the loving care of his family and really can't stand the current state of discord within the family. He longs for a harmonious and peaceful family life.

"You should grow up now."

Mu Tingshen patted his shoulder again, his tone meaningful.

After Su Muran came out of the bathroom, she didn't rush back.

She guessed that Mu Tingshen and Mu Yunfan must have a lot to talk about. In order not to disturb the two brothers, she wandered around for a while, planning to go back later.

What a coincidence! I ran into Lu Qianbai here again.
