Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 664: Really Good at Pretending!

Ji Mu shook his head stubbornly, "No way, we’re all here already, and aren’t you all about to finish the tour soon?"

Indeed, even though the museum housed many precious antiques and cultural relics, it was not very large, with the rest of the space mostly filled with books.

After the tour, Mu Ke suggested hosting his classmates at his home, with nothing fancy, just a simple homemade meal.

Because it was very close to the Mu Family’s old residence.

Everyone thanked Senior Mu Ke, Gu Yan also felt it would be impolite to object, and then Ji Mu... could only follow along to freeload a meal.

Mu Ke was easy-going, and of course, he didn’t return to the Mu Family’s main house but went to his own home. He informed his mother that he would be bringing seven or eight classmates home for dinner.

Initially, Mu Ke’s mother didn’t think much of it. Her son was affable and had many friends, often bringing friends and classmates home, especially those from his clubs and associations. Anyway, she was also willing to host the children.

However, Mu Ke’s mother spotted the young lady from the Gu Family in the crowd!

"Hello, Auntie, sorry for the intrusion!"

The group of kids all took the initiative to greet Mu Ke’s mother, and Gu Yan was no exception. She dragged Ji Mu along to say hello to the elder, and then they proceeded inside.

Mu Ke’s mother was taken aback, and as she observed her son’s calm demeanor, her heart was in turmoil. She immediately turned around and went to the adjacent room to communicate with her husband.

Mu Ke’s family was a branch of the Mu Family, not closely associated with the main branch headed by Mu Feng since they were all of pure human lineage. Even though Mu Ke’s father, Mu Da, had joined the military, he only served in a civil capacity.

Mu Da was baffled for a few seconds upon receiving the call from his wife.

"What do you mean, Xiao Ke brought the young lady from the Gu Family back home for dinner?"

Mu Ke’s mother twitched her lips, "What’s with your hearing, they’re not alone, it’s a group of kids. I heard they are all from some club and after visiting the museum, Xiao Ke invited them over for a simple meal."

Hearing it was a group, Mu Da sighed in relief.

He lowered his voice and said, "Hasn’t Mu Feng already broken off his engagement with the Luo Family girl? The head of the family plans to have Mu Feng make an effort to pursue Gu Yan. At this time, we shouldn’t get involved; later on, we should also remind Xiao Ke more often."

"Ah, is that so? But from my observation, Xiao Ke doesn’t seem to have any special feelings towards that young lady. His behavior towards her is the same as with the other students."

"That’s good!" Mu Da breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Ke’s mother continued, "Even so, we can’t afford to offend anyone. I am worried the domestic robot’s cooking might not be tasty enough."

Mu Da immediately made a decision, "That’s easy! Order takeout from the nearest Su Family restaurant right away!"

So, twenty minutes later, Gu Yan and the others were seated at the dining table. Mu Ke apologized to everyone, "The meals prepared by our domestic robot are just simple home cooking, definitely not as good as what you’ll find in a restaurant, especially not compared to the Su Family restaurant."

He apologized with a glance towards Gu Yan.

Gu Yan quickly said, "I’m fine with anything, you don’t need to be so polite."

Next to her, Ji Mu muttered under his breath, what a good act!

He unceremoniously picked up a knife and fork, took a bite, and the next moment, he was stunned.

Some of the other students had also started eating. After wandering around the museum for half a day, they were a bit tired too. But after tasting their food, their expressions also became somewhat skeptical.

Mu Ke was the last one to pick up the fork, but after taking a bite, his eyebrows raised, "The food tastes so good today?"

Gu Yan, who was accustomed to eating at the Su Family restaurant, said, "Hmm, it seems to be dishes from the Su Family restaurant."

Mu Ke: "..."

He had previously told his mother that he would invite a few classmates for a meal, just a casual one, and there was no need for special preparation.

But it seemed his mother had still prepared something special.

Seeing Mu Ke a bit embarrassed, Ji Mu picked up a large chunk of meat, sneering internally, "Act! Just keep acting!"

He was clearly trying to impress Gu Yan!

He silently noted this down on his little black book for Mu Ke!

To make amends for past mistakes, Ji Mu was indeed exerting himself to the utmost.

Fortunately, there were no more issues during the meal, and when they finished and prepared to leave, taking the aircraft back to school, two people approached them.

One was Mu Da, who had hurried back after getting off work, and walking beside Mu Da was Mu Feng, who was soon graduating.

Mu Feng was the child that the Mu Family was currently focusing on cultivating, and without any surprises, he would certainly become an excellent Commander after graduation.

Following in the footsteps of Mu Xiaoge, now renamed Su Xiaoge, Mu Feng was the Mu Family’s most outstanding Star Warrior.

The Mu Family placed great importance on him.

As a distinguished member of the next generation, it was incumbent upon the Mu Family branches to offer unconditional support. Mu Feng would have to call Mu Da as Uncle Mu, and the reason for his visit this time was to ask for some materials from Mu Da’s previous Probationary Commander exams.

Although it wasn’t time for Mu Feng’s Probationary Commander exam, some things definitely required advance preparation.

It just so happened that they would run head-on into Gu Yan and the others who had just finished dinner at the Mu Family home and were about to leave.

"Gu Yan?" Mu Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He had previously been entangled by Luo Xixi, so he hadn’t been able to get close to Gu Yan, and moreover, Mu Feng believed that he needed to become sufficiently outstanding to have a better chance of being with Gu Yan.

Because Mu Feng really liked Gu Yan a lot.

Now, seeing her unexpectedly, a trace of surprise surged in the depths of his eyes.

But Gu Yan slightly furrowed her brows, nodded slightly, and proceeded to walk past him, showing a complete disinterest in conversing further.

Mu Feng was somewhat unable to save face, but he still restrained himself, not saying much, and turned to walk inside with Mu Da.

It was Ji Mu, however, who took a few extra looks at Mu Feng. Once they were onboard the aircraft, the other students planned to return to school, while Gu Yan was intending to go home, so she directly had her family’s aircraft pick her up.

Actually, Gu Yan had been quite happy today, but for some reason, seeing Mu Feng just now had made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Of course, Gu Yan soon forgot about him entirely.

There was no need to waste much thought on someone unimportant.

On the other hand, Mu Feng seemed to casually ask Mu Da, "Uncle Mu, how come Gu Yan is at your house?"

Mu Da hadn’t expected Mu Feng to come today either.

He hurriedly explained, "It’s just that Xiao Ke brought the club members to visit the museum, and afterwards brought his classmates home for a meal. It just so happened that Gu Yan was among them."

As Mu Feng flipped through the materials, he suddenly looked up and chuckled, "That convenient, huh?"

Mu Da was taken aback. He immediately understood what Mu Feng meant and quickly spoke up, "This time, it really was a coincidence. You also know about my Xiao Ke; he’s dedicated to cultural research and has no other intentions. Moreover, he’s said before that he doesn’t want to marry anymore and feels that it’s better to be alone."
