Chapter 61: Birthday Party
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!" Lan Ruoxin shouted excitedly.
"Oh, why are you so angry? I was just saying it casually. Why are you so upset? Did I hit a nerve?" Li Xin teased with a mischievous smile.
"you!"
Lan Ruoxin was so angry that her face turned red. Just as she was about to lash out, Mo Xunhuan stepped forward first and slapped her across the face.
"You're so foul-mouthed, you deserve a slap, right?" The slap landed on the other person's mouth, and Li Xin quickly stepped back in pain, covering her mouth with her hand.
"You...you hit me again? Why do you always like to fight? Are you sick in the head?"
"If you weren't being a jerk, would I have hit you? You don't hit someone in the face, but you shameless, despicable wretch deserve a beating. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll beat you to death." Mo Xunhuan's incoherent curses frightened Li Xin into retreating repeatedly.
Even the most shrewish and shameless person can hardly resist the fear of being slapped.
A woman like Li Xin would be hard to deal with, but Mo Xunhuan managed to control her with ease.
"Fine, you wait, I'm not done with you yet!" After uttering these harsh words, Li Xin turned and fled in a panic.
"Trash, coward!" Mo Xunhuan continued to hurl insults with a face full of disdain as he watched the other person's retreating figure.
"Dad, you're so amazing! You chased away the bad uncle in no time. You're so cool!" Lu Qingqing, Mo Xunhuan's daughter, ran over excitedly and showered him with compliments.
"Run away from bad uncles like this in the future, understand?" Mo Xunhuan rubbed his daughter's head and reminded her.
"Oh, I understand," Lu Qingqing said sweetly.
When Mo Xunhuan looked at Lan Ruoxin, the other woman's face was filled with infatuation and reminiscence, without the slightest disgust.
"How was it? Did I scare you? Do you think I'm a shrew?" Mo Xunhuan said to himself with self-deprecation.
Lan Ruoxin quickly shook her head, stepped forward and said, "No, that's not true. I just like your straightforward and frank personality. You've been like that since high school. There were many disobedient boys in our class, and you always scolded them like that."
"That's because they're being awful. I don't like to scold others either, but you have to scold those awful people. Your polite criticism is useless. Wicked people don't reflect on themselves," Mo Xunhuan said with a shrug.
"I know, but I... can't learn it." Lan Ruoxin raised her hand to brush a strand of hair behind her ear and said with a helpless expression.
Having received a strict education from a young age, coupled with her bookish personality, she became excessively ladylike and elegant, completely incompatible with vulgar things like swearing.
"You have to learn even if you can't. If others can't teach you, then I will. I will teach you!" Mo Xunhuan patted her shoulder and said earnestly.
"You'll teach me? How?" Lan Ruoxin opened her eyes wide, looking at him with great curiosity.
Mo Xunhuan revealed a wicked smile and whispered something in her ear. Although Lu Qingqing couldn't hear it, she could see Lan Ruoxin's cheeks flush red.
"What...what nonsense are you talking about? How could that be?"
"Why not? Didn't you still have it that night? You were burning up like crazy. You're obviously a slow burner, just like your sister!" Mo Xunhuan teased.
"You..." Lan Ruoxin blushed shyly after being teased, which was not the behavior of an adult woman at all. Instead, she was like a well-behaved high school student.
After buying the gifts, the three left the gift shop and headed towards the hotel.
Meanwhile, at the hotel, a woman riding a motorcycle and wearing a leather jacket arrived at the hotel entrance and hurriedly went inside.
"Manager, I'm here," Mu Shuang said breathlessly as she found the lobby manager.
"Why are you so late today? Don't you know there's a birthday party tonight? Everyone's busy!" the lobby manager said irritably.
"I know, it's mainly because I was in such a rush on the way today, I really..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense and go change your clothes."
"yes!"
Five minutes later, the car arrived at the hotel entrance. Mo Xunhuan and his two companions got out of the car and ran into Mu Shuang, who was there to greet them.
Seeing Mu Shuang dressed in a welcoming outfit, Mo Xunhuan was astonished. "Mu Shuang? How could it be you? What are you doing here?"
"Pleasure Seeker!"
"Sister Mu Shuang, are you here for the birthday party too?" Lu Qingqing happily hugged Mu Shuang.
Mu Shuang shook her head, patted Lu Qingqing's head, and explained, "I work here, part-time as a waitress."
"Oh, I see. You've worked hard." Mo Xunhuan gently patted her head, just like he would a child.
"Xunhuan, is this your friend?" Lan Ruoxin asked curiously when she saw that the three knew each other.
Mo Xunhuan turned around and introduced her to Lan Ruoxin: "I forgot to introduce her to you. This is Mu Shuang. She's the one who saved me yesterday."
"Oh, so it was her who saved you!" Lan Ruoxin suddenly realized and quickly stepped forward to hold Lu Qingqing's hand, expressing her gratitude.
"Thank you so much, Miss Mu Shuang, thank you for saving Xun Huan."
"You're welcome. I was just doing what was right." Mu Shuang was taken aback by Lan Ruoxin's enthusiasm.
"That's right, but I should still thank you. Here's my business card. I'll treat you to dinner another day and thank you in person then." With that, Lan Ruoxin handed a business card to the other person.
"Uh... okay!" Mu Shuang nodded and took the business card, watching the three leave with a complicated expression.
"He...doesn't he have a wife? Why would he be with another woman...?"
…………
Arriving at the banquet hall, a place usually used for wedding banquets, dozens of tables were set up in the hall. However, Lin Yue unexpectedly booked the entire place to hold a birthday party for his son.
There were many parents at the kindergarten, almost all of whom had been invited by Lin Yue to attend his son's birthday party, and they were all arriving one after another.
"Wow, this is so lively! This birthday party is like a grand banquet, the scale is too big!" Mo Xunhuan exclaimed.
"Money can make you arrogant. Last year, my sister's friend had a birthday party, and my sister and I went together. The event was even bigger than this one. The hotel was a five-star hotel, and the cost for just one night was hundreds of thousands, or even millions!" Lan Ruoxin recalled.
"That's so extravagant! What about your sister? She's so rich, she must have had one too!" Mo Xunhuan asked curiously.
Lan Ruoxin shook her head. "No, that's not true. My sister is usually high-profile, but I've never seen her throw a birthday party. When she was little, Mom and Dad threw them, but since she grew up, she's always alone on her birthday. We can't find her at all."
"Alone?" Mo Xunhuan frowned, and couldn't help but recall his high school days.
At the time, he was dating Lan Ruobing and celebrated his birthday with her, which was the only time he ever did so.
