Mu Liancheng hurried over. Mu Liancheng had already reached Wen Xiaochu’s side. Wen Xiaochu looked at Mu Liancheng with a complex expression. As if she couldn’t comprehend his demeanor at all. Yet Mu Liancheng appeared delighted and joyful. Mu Liancheng said, "How about it? The birthday party I specially prepared for you, surprised?" Wen Xiaochu was slightly taken aback. Wen Xiaochu suddenly remembered. Yes, today is her birthday. Actually, all these years, she never celebrated her birthday. Moreover, during those years of hidden marriage with Mu Liancheng. Mu Liancheng never celebrated her birthday. So, Wen Xiaochu hadn’t thought of it at all. Xia Yangyang also remembered: "Yes, Xiaochu, today is your birthday, I didn’t even remember." Xia Yangyang glanced at Mu Liancheng and said, "Your husband is really thoughtful." Wen Xiaochu didn’t show much of a surprised expression on her face. It seemed she couldn’t quite grasp her emotions. She just said to Mu Liancheng, "I brought Yangyang here and thought it was just an ordinary meal." Seeing Wen Xiaochu’s indifferent reaction, Mu Liancheng actually felt a bit disappointed. But thinking of her inherently reserved personality, he found it rather normal. His gaze had already shifted from Wen Xiaochu to Xia Yangyang. Mu Liancheng was naturally quite familiar with Xia Yangyang too. Mu Liancheng greeted with a smile, "Today I personally went to Shengyuan to ask Ah Chen to bring you along, but I didn’t expect you to arrive yourself. I heard from Ah Chen that you’ve forgotten many things. Do you still remember me?" Xia Yangyang shook her head. Mu Liancheng smiled and said, "It’s okay if you don’t recognize me. Let’s get to know each other again. I’m Mu Liancheng, Xiaochu’s husband." Mu Liancheng emphasized his identity as her husband. Xia Yangyang reached out to shake his hand. But at that moment, Xia Yangyang suddenly remembered. He said he went to Shengyuan today to invite Gu Qichen personally. Which means, earlier today, Xia Yangyang was at the meeting room door when she overheard Gu Qichen talking to a man. That man turned out to be Mu Liancheng. Xia Yangyang had been trying everything to avoid attending the dinner with Gu Qichen and Xi Zijun. Yet she ended up arriving first. Moreover, she had lied to Gu Qichen. The most update n0vels are published on novel•fire.net If she really encountered Gu Qichen and Xi Zijun later here. Xia Yangyang wouldn’t know how to explain it. However, speaking of him, he arrived. Mu Liancheng suddenly smiled and looked behind Xia Yangyang, saying, "Ah Chen is here." Xia Yangyang almost reflexively turned around. And saw the attendant respectfully pushing open the banquet hall door. Gu Qichen leisurely walked in from outside the door. Of course, walking beside him, holding his arm, was Xi Zijun. Xi Zijun left a different impression compared to usual. In the past, no matter how she dressed, she looked like a competent and efficient career woman. But today, she wore a light white sweater jacket. Underneath was a beige long dress. Though not formal, she seemed more gentle in overall aura. Her hair used to be short, neatly shoulder-length. Now, it had gradually grown longer. Adding a touch of ladylike quality. She wore sunglasses, hiding her eyes. However, many people went over to greet her. She responded softly. Mu Liancheng waved towards them: "Ah Chen, your wife is here."
