After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 26 Mousse

He had imagined his reunion with her many times.

But he forgot to consider what kind of chaos and turmoil would ensue if he were to reunite with her while she was already married.

At this moment, his eyelashes fluttered suddenly, revealing a hint of embarrassment.

Mu Siran added, "I was very surprised when I first heard about it. How come you got married so early? Your brother is 28 and still not married, and Qingqing is 25 and still doesn't have a boyfriend. Yet you, the youngest of them all, got married the earliest."

Luo Jiuyu tugged at her shirt collar, trying to relax: "It was arranged by my grandparents..."

"Yes, I heard it from your brother." Mu Siran looked around, as if she was looking for someone.

"It sounds like Lorne really enjoys sharing my stories with you?"

"No, that's not it. He won't mention you unless I ask him." Mu Siran knew that the brothers weren't close.

My phone suddenly rang.

It was a callback from Huameimei.

He apologized to Mu Siran, then walked a few steps away to answer the phone.

"Hello?" he asked in a low voice.

Hua Meimei sensed a sense of helplessness in his voice. "What's wrong? Why did you call me?"

I thought he wasn't feeling well.

That sounds plausible.

“Your family is here for the banquet,” he said.

"What?" Hua Meimei looked completely bewildered. "You know who my family is?"

Does she mean you're kidding me?

“Your father, your stepmother, and a boy who is a little younger than you.”

"What are they doing there?" Hua Meimei couldn't imagine why that family of three would go to a banquet.

join in the fun?

Or is he trying to get closer to the Luo family?

"You'll see when you get here." Luo Jiuyu read the address aloud. "Your family is all here, why don't you come and see your grandparents too? The banquet has just started."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for her to respond.

It was originally her grandparents' idea to invite her to the banquet; he was just relaying the message.

Whether he comes or not has no impact on him.

Since the banquet wasn't really his event, no one would notice his presence.

No one would even notice the existence of his secretly married wife.

Mu Siran, on the other hand, noticed him as soon as she arrived today and took the initiative to chat with him, which really surprised him.

He walked back to Mu Siran and smiled, "Do you drink champagne? Why don't we sit down and have a glass?"

"Aren't you going to introduce me to your wife?" Mu Siran asked.

"...She was the one who made that call just now."

"She didn't come? Judging from the way you were on the phone, you didn't seem to be very close."

"A marriage arranged hastily by parents, without any affection."

Mu Siran smiled, adopting a knowing "experienced" demeanor: "It's okay, TV dramas often feature marriage-of-convenience-to-love storylines. I'm sure you two will gradually develop feelings for each other..."

“We agreed to get a divorce next year,” Luo Jiuyu interrupted her.

He didn't want to hear her continue talking about berries.

This will only embarrass him.

"Why?" Mu Siran asked in shock.

He simply looked up at her, his gaze gentle and unwavering, unwilling to elaborate.

Mu Siran realized she was being a bit nosy; after so many years apart, she had been asking about his private life.

"Huh, you're Mu Siran?!"

Hua An'an noticed that her goddess Mu Siran was talking to her "brother-in-law" and excitedly ran over to greet her.

"Hi." Mu Siran immediately flashed the professional smile a big star gives to his little fan.

"Mom, come quick, it's a big star!" Hua An'an always had to share good news with her mother.

Lin Cuilan is a casual fan of Mu Siran; she watches her dramas on TV whenever they are released.

"Oh my god, I actually met a big star!" Lin Cuilan ran over in her high heels.

Hua Wenxia was chatting with an entrepreneur who was also in the snack industry when he heard his wife and son making noises and couldn't help but turn his head to look.

He couldn't help but frown slightly; their naive and uncultured manner was truly out of line.

"You're so beautiful in person, even more so than on TV!" Lin Cuilan instantly turned into a fangirl.

Mu Siran possesses not only the beauty of a female celebrity, but also the poise and elegance of a socialite from a wealthy family.

"She's so beautiful, what man wouldn't be captivated by her?" Lin Cuilan thought to herself.

Hua An'an was almost captivated by Mu Siran's beauty. Luckily, she grabbed Lin Cuilan's shoulder to prevent herself from falling.

He licked his lips and reached out to shake hands with Mu Siran. "Hello, my name is Hua An'an, and I'm a fan of yours. I even have your poster up in my dorm room!"

Mu Siran generously took his hand, but only lightly grasped his fingertips before immediately letting go.

"Thank you for your support. My period drama has just been released, please give it your support!"

"I was watching, you acted so well, the makeup and styling were so beautiful! Especially your eyes..." Lin Cuilan made exaggerated expressions to match the praise, gesturing wildly.

Hua An'an occasionally echoed her mother's comments.

Next, more and more fans surrounded Mu Siran.

Luo Jiuyu tactfully walked away silently. She glanced at the time: 8:40.

I estimate it will take Hua Meimei about twenty minutes to get here from the company.

This banquet was organized at the behest of the old man and woman, with the main purpose of inviting many old friends and their children to get together.

The banquet was organized by Lorne, and his father, Lorne Mingzhe, might not be able to attend.

Luo Jiuyu scanned the banquet hall and still hadn't seen Luo Mingzhe. Instead, she saw Luo En and his mother Bian Xuan accompanying their grandparents to greet others.

Since becoming the vice president of the Luo family enterprise, Lorne's demeanor and even his attire have become more composed.

Bian Xuan still looks young; she is over fifty but looks like she is forty.

If his mother were alive today, she would probably be in her forties.

Luo Jiuyu withdrew her gaze; it was better not to look at someone who was too irritating.

The huge banquet hall was like a stage, and to him, all the people, whether familiar or unfamiliar, were performers on that stage.

He was merely an audience member, there to experience loneliness amidst the noise.

Go outside to the balcony for some fresh air.

Someone is setting off fireworks in the distance.

The fireworks were small and few, blooming sparsely in the low sky, unable to reach high places.

On this desolate New Year's Eve, it was enough to add some color to his otherwise boring time.

He stared at it for a long time.

Until someone came and broke his silence.

"Brother Jiuyu, why are you here all alone?"

The girl behind him had been standing there, secretly watching him for a long time.

He looked him up and down until he was sure that he was Luo Jiuyu, whom he had seen when he was a child.

Only then did I dare to go up and say hello.

He turned around, and a girl dressed in Lolita fashion and wearing a pink wig was reflected in his eyes.

It looks familiar, but I can't quite place it.

"It's me! Don't you remember?" The girl's sweet smile bloomed like fireworks. "I'm Mousse Sweet!"

Mu Sitian… He remembered, she was Mu Siran’s younger sister, a full five years younger than Mu Siran.
