d she doHe Chao looked at her troubled expression and said, "Actually, I think you don't need to hide this from Mr. Fu. Based on my understanding of Mr. Fu, he is trustworthy. You tell him, and he wil...Mu Xing winced in pain, pouting her little mouth as she explained, "Someone just accidentally spilled wine on my dress. The pretty sister took me to the restroom to clean it up."

Fu Lingxiao glanced lightly at Lan Xuan, his big palm covering Mu Xing's nape. "From now on, you have to tell me where you're going and you're not allowed to run around by yourself. Did you hear that"

"Got it, Uncle."

As the two people walked away chatting, completely unaware, Lan Xuan stood frozen in place, her eyes fixed on their retreating figures. Her hand had already clenched the hem of her skirt until it was distorted.

The man who bumped into Musen appeared behind Lan Xuan, “Miss Lan.”

Lan Xuan's voice suddenly turned cold, "Is it done"

The man smiled confidently, "Don't worry."

"Leave here immediately and find a safe place to hide. Stay out of sight for now."

"Okay."

- Fu Lingxiao returned to the banquet hall with Mu Xing, just as He Chao arrived.

"Dr. Hello!"

As soon as Mu Xingyi saw He Chao, a bright smile lit up her face, and her eyes sparkled.

This little thing! Is it this happy to see He Chao

Fu Lingxiao was displeased and pulled her face back, "Take you to deliver the birthday present."

- The innermost room in the banquet hall.

Mrs. Fu was wearing a dark red embroidered cheongsam today. Her silver hair was combed into an neat bun at the back of her head, and she wore ruby earrings in the same color as the cheongsam on her ears. She looked radiant overall.

She stood in front of the mirror, looking left and right with a hint of worry on her face. "Isn't this qipao color a little too bright Aren't these earrings a bit over the top Will my daughter-in-law dislike me dressed like this"

The maid smiled and replied, “No need to worry, Madam. You look particularly beautiful dressed like this. The young mistress will surely love it.”

Mrs. Fu once again gave the maid a kind smile and asked, "How do you think I look smiling like this Does it make me seem approachable"

"She's particularly approachable, Madam. Please rest assured, the young mistress will surely like you."

Mrs. Fu took her reassurance, leaning on her cane as she walked out of the room. She happened to see Fu Lingxiao and Mu Xing walking towards her face-to-face.

Mrs. Fu completely ignored Fu Lingxiao, her gaze fixed on Mu Xing, she whispered to the maid: "My daughter-in-law is here, I'm a little nervous."

The maid looked at Mu Xing, held onto Madam Fu's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. Miss looks like a kind and easy-going child."

Mrs. Fu steadied herself and took a few steps forward.

Fu Lingxiao led Mu Xing to Fu Lao's side, slightly bowed his head, and respectfully said: "Grandma, this is Mu Xing."

Mu Xing immediately bowed to Old Madam Fu, "Hello, Uncle's grandmother!"

A delicate and pretty face was beaming with a sweet smile. Her manner was well-behaved and adorable, filling Mrs. Fu's heart with joy. She repeatedly responded, "Very good! Very good!"

Mrs. Fu smiled warmly, appearing particularly kind and amiable.

Mu Xing looked at her, as if she saw her own grandmother. She couldn't help but say, "Uncle Xia's grandma, I especially like you. Can I call you Grandma just like Uncle Xia"

Elder Madam Fu was instantly beaming, her initial tension completely gone. “Why not Our little Muxing should call me that.”

It's wonderful, she has a grandmother again!

Mu Xing happily handed the scroll box over, "Grandma, this is my gift for your birthday. I wish you good fortune like the East Sea, a lifespan like Mount Nanshan, and may you have many happy birthdays to come."

Mrs. Fu immediately took it and eagerly opened it, taking out the carefully framed calligraphy.

The moment it unfolded, Mrs. Fu's smile froze instantly.

Above the "Shou" character in "Fu Shou Kang Ning" (blessing, longevity, well-being), a large, scarlet "Death" character was written. It stood out jarringly.

At this time, guests had already filled the surroundings. Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes were fixed on Mu Xing.

Giving an elderly person a "death" character as a birthday gift, wouldn't that be considered bad luck

No matter how doting Grandfather Fu was, he couldn't let her off the hook this time, could he

Given Lord Fu's temper, this girl would be stripped to the bone if she didn't die.

People looked at each other with a variety of expressions, silently thinking to themselves.

The atmosphere grew thick with tension, the lively banquet hall falling silent in an instant.

Mu Xing looked at the red "death" character, her small face crumpled into a ball. She had no idea how this character suddenly appeared on top of her own writing.

Even Wu Guanta, standing nearby, was stunned. How could this be

He checked it when he brought it home yesterday after having it framed, and there was nothing wrong...

Mù Xīng was stunned for a long moment, looking helplessly at the man beside her. Seeing his furrowed brows and gloomy expression, she didn't even dare to call out to him. She just stared at him with helpless eyes.

She was afraid that her uncle would be angry, afraid that he would think she did it on purpose, and afraid that he would never speak to her again.

She was so scared, so terrified that she lost her ability to think.

After a moment, the motionless man suddenly raised his hand, and everyone thought he was going to punish the girl.

He Chao, among the crowd, was already prepared to protect Mu Xing.

Even Mu Xing thought that her uncle was angry and going to hit her, biting her lip in suffering.

However, the next second, the man's hand gently landed on top of her head, rubbing it. "Don't be afraid, I know this has nothing to do with you. Grandma and I believe in you."

Saying that, he looked at Old Madam Fu, "Grandmother, is that so"

Was this still her grandson, who was taciturn, indifferent, and cold-hearted Madam Fu was so shocked that she froze in place. Hearing the man's question, she only nodded dazedly.

Not only was Old Madam Fu shocked, but all those present were so astonished that they gaped in disbelief.

It is said that Master Fu, known for his ruthlessness and decisive actions, actually has such a tender side If one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would believe it

"Look, grandma believes in you too. We all believe in you."

The man's voice, like warm water, like a gentle breeze, softly brushed over Mu Xing's frightened and helpless heart. Her heartstrings relaxed, but her nose couldn't help but ache, and a tear suddenly rolled down her cheek.

"Uncle…"

Thank you for believing in me.

"Don't cry." Fu Lingxiao reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her cheek, his voice soft. "Things have already happened, what we need to do is find a way to solve it."

Mu Xing sniffed and nodded vigorously.

My uncle is right, when you encounter a problem, you should actively solve it. Just now, she was too afraid of my uncle being angry, panicked and at a loss, forgetting this principle.

Fu Lingxiao took the painting scroll from Fu Lao's hands and placed it in front of Mu Xing, guiding gently: “Actually, I think this calligraphy piece has too much white space, making it look a bit too plain. If we add some paintings on top, it might be better. What do you think”

Mu Xing nodded, "Uncle, when you put it that way, I think it's a bit plain."

"You understand drawing better than I do, so you decide what to add on top. You can take your time thinking about it, we're not in a hurry."

Fu Lingxiao handed the scroll to Mu Xing and turned his head to whisper to Wu Butler, "Go buy painting tools and pigments right away."

Mu Xing looked at the painting, thinking for a while, then tiptoed and whispered something to the man.

The man cooperated and bent down, allowing her to get to his ear. He patiently listened as she finished speaking. He smirked and praised, "I like it very much, I'll paint according to what you said."

The man's gentleness towards Mu Xing ignited a deeper jealousy and resentment in Lan Xuan's heart.

She thought this time she could definitely get rid of Mu Xing, that annoying thing. Unexpectedly, Fu Lingxiao would protect her so much!

She gritted her teeth fiercely, Fu Lingxiao, is that how much you like her

I'd rather see you fail! I'm going to get her away from you!

You! You can only be mine!emed to be confirming something with him.Fu Lingxiao released his embrace, holding the little girl's face in both hands. He leaned down and kissed her.Starting from the lips, they twirl and delve deep...
