Chapter 665 Looking Highly Reliable
Ziyue told Muchen about her dinner banquet on Friday.
Muchen was silent momentarily before saying, "You'll be tired."
"I'll be bored with nothing to do anyway. It's just an ordinary banquet for fun." Ziyue's tone was relaxed.
However, she knew full well that even if it were an ordinary banquet, with her status, many people would come and try their best to get close to her.
As the host, she could only deal with them one by one.
She was tired even thinking about it.
"Actually, you don't have to do it." Muchen wasn't in a great mood. He was slightly somber.
Muchen only had to think about it briefly to understand the purpose of Ziyue holding a banquet.
She wanted to use the feast to tell everyone that she was back in the country and would stay in Yunzhou City in the future.
By telling everyone grandly that she was back in Yunzhou City, she prevented Yuchuan or the people in Gricy from surprising her.
If everyone knew she was back in the country, her whereabouts would be revealed to the public. Those people would be apprehensive if they wanted to do anything to her.
Ziyue knew he was displeased when she heard his tone.
"Do you think I'm like a baby who can't think or move independently?" Otherwise, why would his macho mentality come into play and cause him to be displeased when she was doing something minor?
Muchen paused and said, "I don't want you to suffer."
Ziyue was slightly frustrated. "I'm not Zixi. I should be doing such things. I'm an adult, a mother, and a wife. I can use my capabilities to deal with many things. Furthermore, I should do many things. Can you not treat me like a child?"
After a few seconds, she continued before Muchen responded. "You have to believe I can protect myself and take good care of our son while you're not around."
After a long time, Muchen answered, "Mm."
Muchen was an outstandingly capable man. She didn't understand why his mind seemed to short- circuit when she was involved.
"Eat on time, don't get too tired, and take care of yourself." Ziyue urged tirelessly, just like always.
Muchen suddenly laughed. Even his voice was infected with laughter. "Can you not treat me like a child? You don't have to always remind me of small things like eating and sleeping."
Ziyue snorted. Would I still have to remind him if he eats and sleeps on time?
However, she understood the profound meaning of his words.
Because they cared for each other, they worried about each other while apart, even if it was about something minor.
"Hmph. I'm not going to talk to you anymore." Although Ziyue said so, she couldn't bear to hang up.
"It's almost time for Zixi to get off school. Go and pick him up. Hang up." Muchen knew what she was thinking and urged her to hang up.
Ziyue glanced at the time. It was, indeed, the time Zixi got off school. Even if she couldn't bear to, she could only hang up.
…
At eight on Friday night.
Ziyue was in a red, knee-length evening dress. After she got out of the car, she turned to carry Zixi.
Zixi was wearing a small shirt and suspenders. There was even a bow tie around his neck.
This outfit was custom-made haute couture. Ziyue had deliberately picked it out for him.
She put Zixi down and crouched before him to carefully straighten his clothes. She realized her son was very handsome.
"We're going in now." Ziyue picked him up again. "There will be many adults and maybe some children at the place we're going to. However, you don't have to be afraid, Zixi. Treat it like your home. They're all guests, and they will like you, Zixi."
It hadn't been long, but she was slightly tired as she carried the child in her heels.
Zixi squirmed in her arms, and his soft baby voice rang. "I want to come down and walk myself."
"Mommy will carry you in. Mommy wants to carry you." Although she was tired, she enjoyed it.
As a mother, she hadn't loved Zixi enough.
Zixi was already two and a half years old. How many more years could she carry him for?
When Ziyue walked into the hall of Lumiere Jade House, she saw Yichen at first glance.
"Mrs. Qin." Yichen was in an immaculate suit as he walked to Ziyue.
When his gaze fell onto Zixi, his solemn face softened for a moment. "Zixi is here too."
"Uncle He." When Zixi heard his name, he immediately turned and smiled at Yichen.
Ziyue was slightly surprised. She never thought that Zixi knew Yichen.
"Mr. Bai has brought Zixi to Lumiere Jade House a few times. Zixi has a good memory." Yichen saw the confusion in Ziyue's eyes, so he took the initiative to explain.
Yichen's expression quickly returned to normal. "Mrs. Qin, you can bring Zixi up first. This isn't the place to speak. Everything is prepared."
His solemn and earnest face looked highly reliable.
"Thank you for your hard work." Ziyue didn't say anything else. She carried Zixi into the elevator.
She was in the private elevator with Zixi and a few bodyguards.
The ballroom was packed with people.
Ziyue stopped and watched from the entrance for a few seconds. She was startled by the incredible scene. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
She had expected many people to come but never thought so many would attend.
"Mrs. Qin is here!"
She didn't know who had said it, but everyone inside looked in the direction of the door in succession.
Ziyue had experienced various big occasions. She wasn't frightened at all.
But she was worried that Zixi would be afraid because there were many people, so she crouched down and wanted to carry him. "Mommy will carry you in."
Zixi shook his head. "Zixi walk by himself!"
After that, he held Ziyue's hand and said, "Daddy said that men can't be carried by women. Otherwise, they can't grow up."
When he spoke, his brows furrowed. His pitch-black eyes were unmoving, and his little face was solemn. When Ziyue saw him like that, she thought it was fascinating yet amusing.
However, she was slightly dumbstruck when she heard it.
What nonsense did Muchen say to the child?
Ziyue saw that Zixi wasn't afraid, so she didn't insist on carrying him.
When she walked in with Zixi, the guests inside consciously moved to the side and made a path for her.
She went straight to the stage and took the microphone. She had good manners and a relaxed expression. "Thank you, everyone, for attending Lumiere Jade House's anniversary banquet. On behalf of Lumiere Jade House and my husband, I thank everyone…"
She needed a reason to host a dinner banquet. It just so happened that Lumiere Jade House's anniversary was coming up, so it was considered an advance celebration.
