Chapter 62 -62 Wedding Banquet Absence, Many Thoughts_1
Before long, Jesse appeared before Su Wanxia, holding a pink rose in his hand, “Miss, may I invite you for a cup of coffee?”
Su Wanxia gave him a scornful look as she took the flower from his hand, “No, you may not.”
Jesse’s ice-blue eyes were filled with amusement, “You’ve taken the flower, and still you say no?”
“Why does this flower look so familiar?” Su Wanxia suspiciously eyed the charming and profound-faced Jesse.
Jesse casually took a seat opposite Su Wanxia, “Because flowers all look like this, that’s why it seems familiar to you.”
Upon hearing this, Su Wanxia suddenly realized. She turned her head to look at the vase on the next table, which was empty, then at the identical flower on her table.
“Oh, Jesse, you’re actually offering Buddha a borrowed flower,” she remarked.
Jesse flashed a captivating smile, “Heh, you saw through that, huh?”
“Of course,” Su Wanxia had an expression that said you can’t fool me.
“Summer, have you been doing okay these days?” Jesse suddenly softened his tone, his ice-blue eyes intently gazing at Su Wanxia.
Su Wanxia laughed dryly, “Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?”
“You’re lying to me,” Jesse’s tone was filled with certainty.
Su Wanxia paused, feeling awkward, “No, I’ve really been quite fine.”
Jesse sighed, “Your eyes can’t lie to me. If you’re unhappy here, then come back to the company!”
When Su Wanxia heard Jesse’s words, her heart tightened. She understood all too well what the phrase “come back to the company” implied. If she were to return, the distance between them would once again be vast and daunting.
If then, she wished to see him again, it would likely be an indefinite wait!
No, she didn’t want that!
With this thought, she instinctively shook her head, “Jesse, you’re thinking too much. Besides, I’m still not done with my work.”
Hearing Su Wanxia’s response, Jesse could only drop the subject.
“Summer, let’s go somewhere,” Jesse suddenly stood up, pulling Su Wanxia from her seat.
“Where to?” she wondered.
“You’ll know when we get there,” Jesse said with a mysterious smile and started leading Su Wanxia downstairs. Since she wasn’t happy, he would spend the day with her and make it right.
When Jesse brought Su Wanxia to the large amusement park in C City, her mouth broke into a wide grin—she hadn’t been to such a place in a long time.
“Come on, let’s enjoy the day!” Jesse said and immediately pulled Su Wanxia inside.
Meanwhile, at the wedding of Mu Feng and Kang Xiaolan—
Mu Yingchen had been incessantly searching for Su Wanxia in the crowd since Kang Xiaolan got off the car, only to end up empty-handed. His face darkened instantly, and his heart uncontrollably ached. She actually hadn’t come!
To avoid meeting him, she wouldn’t even attend her best friend’s wedding. Well, good, just excellent—it was so like Su Wanxia!
“Yingchen!” A refined voice called out.
He quickly masked his expression and turned to the newcomer with a smile, “Mom!”
Mother Mu, in a black and gold trailing gown, exuded grandeur and sophistication. Her hair was stylishly coiled, her gently made-up features were exquisite, and time seemed to have left few traces on her face, betraying none of her actual age.
One must say that Mu Yingchen’s fine genes come partially from his mother.
“The wedding is about to start, why haven’t you gone in?” Mu’s mother asked indifferently, yet her eyes were firmly fixed on Mu Yingchen.
Mu Yingchen replied with a faint smile, “I was just about to go in. Let’s go,” he said as he took his mother’s arm and walked towards the hall.
As the music began, Kang Xiaolan walked down the long red carpet arm in arm with her father. When her father handed Kang Xiaolan’s hand to Mu Feng, the latter assured him with determination, “I will certainly take good care of Lanlan.” It wasn’t fancy or touching speech, but it brought a happy smile to Kang Xiaolan’s face.
Kang’s father nodded contentedly, “I believe you!”
Watching Mu Feng place the wedding ring on Kang Xiaolan’s finger was the first time in his life that Mu Yingchen felt a pang of envy. It turned out that even he could feel envious of others.
The wedding ceremony concluded, and the banquet officially began.
The Mu Family held a leading position across Asia. Although Mu Feng was not the ruler of the Mu Family’s business, his status was by no means low. Moreover, since many of Mu Family’s veterans would attend his wedding, the celebration was exceptionally grand and luxurious.
As soon as the banquet started, Mu Yingchen was surrounded by many guests, seemingly even more popular than the groom himself.
Mu Chuyang and Ji Hua also busied themselves entertaining the guests. When they saw the layers of people surrounding Mu Yingchen, they couldn’t help but roll their eyes inwardly, disparaging the opportunists.
“Hua, why do you think Wanxia didn’t come today?” Mu Chuyang whispered to Ji Hua.
“I’m puzzled too. Aside from not being mentioned by Feng, given her relationship with Kang Xiaolan, she should be here!” Ji Hua was genuinely baffled.
“Exactly. The big brother seems fine as well; he doesn’t look like they’re in a conflict.”
“Maybe Wanxia had something come up at the last minute and couldn’t make it,” Ji Hua suggested.
“Who knows,” Chuyang replied.
After discussing it for a while without coming to any conclusion, they continued to entertain the guests with smiles on their faces.
“President Mu, you are so young and successful, I truly admire you,” a man in his forties complimented Mu Yingchen with a glass in his hand.
Mu Yingchen slightly curved his lips and replied, “Bank President Li flatters me.”
Another man interjected, “I heard that President Mu recently announced he has a girlfriend. Why didn’t you bring her along today for us to meet? I wonder what kind of lady could capture our President Mu’s heart which has remained unmoved for so many years.”
“Haha, indeed,” agreed the crowd.
When Mu Yingchen heard this, the smile on his lips stiffened for a moment before returning to normal. He smiled faintly again but gave no answer.
Bank President Li, a man experienced in reading people, caught the momentary oddity in Mu Yingchen’s expression. Making eye contact with those around him, he signaled with his eyes. The enthusiastic crowd chattered about how the girlfriend of President Mu must surely be as beautiful as a celestial fairy, possessing unsurpassed beauty and so on.
After catching Li’s glance, they immediately fell silent, belatedly realizing that despite their eager gossip, Mu Yingchen had responded to none of it. A sense of unease began to drum in their hearts as they wondered if they had misdirected their flattery.
Bank President Li smiled, “I wonder how Old Master Mu is doing. It’s been many years since I’ve seen him.”
Upon the mention of his grandfather, Mu Yingchen also smiled, “Thank you for your concern, Bank President Li. Grandfather is very well.”

“Hehe, that’s good to hear, good to hear,” Li replied.
The others also offered their solicitous words, though this time they were much more cautious, afraid of misspeaking and offending the influential man before them.
Meanwhile, they were all filled with curiosity. The rumors had spread like wildfire throughout C City stating that President Mu had appeared at the Su Family’s young mistress’ birthday party and had even proclaimed her to be his girlfriend.
After hearing the news, they were shocked, curious about what kind of woman the traditionally aloof President Mu had taken an interest in. They had been eager to behold the lady’s grace at the event. Yet, she was conspicuously absent, and since President Mu had neither confirmed nor denied it just now, they began to doubt whether the rumors were true or false.
