"Mommy, you can be fooled by this kind of reason! Daddy's money is enough to last for several lifetimes, and we have a house to live in, so Daddy doesn't need to buy another one!"
"Exactly, brother is right. Mommy, what job could be more important than a lifelong commitment?" Ruo Ruo asked cutely.
This left Lan Baobao at a loss for words. When she came out, Ye Zixun was only with her, as he had some matters to handle and would arrive at the wedding venue a bit later.
However, she wasn't very clear on what exactly he was doing. If Lan Baobao were lying, Brother Mu would see right through it.
Now what should she do?
Just as Lan Baobao was feeling anxious, her phone rang. At that moment, she was incredibly grateful to the person calling; they were truly her lucky star.
"Hello, this is Lan Baobao." Lan Baobao quickly answered the phone, surprising the person on the other end with her speed.
"Baby, it's me." Mu Jiangfeng's voice was as gentle as ever.
Upon hearing Mu Jiangfeng's voice, Lan Baobao felt puzzled. It was late at night in China; why would Mu Jiangfeng call her at this hour?
After finally getting some peace and quiet, this person had come back again. Ye Zixun had said not to talk to him, but a phone call could be considered talking...
"Oh, it's you. Why aren't you asleep so late? Staying up late isn't good for your health; you should go to bed early," Lan Baobao said in a dismissive tone, hoping Mu Jiangfeng would hang up quickly.
Li Xiaoran, who was nearby, smirked at Mumu and Ruo Ruo. The man she had a crush on called his beloved woman late at night before her wedding—this cliché scenario was just like something out of a Korean drama.
This made things even more interesting. It seemed that Lan Baobao's future life in Ye Family Mansion would be colorful; Li Xiaoran really wanted to watch it unfold.
Mumu and Ruo Ruo exchanged glances and came up with an idea. It looked like they needed to prepare an extravagant gift for their irresponsible and busy father.
"It's still early; I wanted to hear your voice. You went to France without giving me any news? But that's okay; I can't miss your wedding. I might even arrive before Ye Zixun!"
Lan Baobao felt quite embarrassed for not notifying Mu Jiangfeng about the wedding time and location.
However, Lan Baobao thought that since the Mu Family and Ye Family had business dealings, it would be better to let her older sister handle those matters.
After all, Ye Zixun did not allow her to contact Mu Jiangfeng.
"I'm sorry, I've been very busy lately, and I'm not the one preparing for the wedding; it's all being managed by Ye Ziyun. If you haven't received an invitation, I can have someone send you another one right away." Lan Baobao still felt a bit guilty, as she was the one being rude.
"It's fine. Are you free now, Baby?" Mu Jiangfeng asked gently, showing no signs of anger.
Lan Baobao hesitated; to be honest, she didn't want to face Mu Jiangfeng right now. The pressure was quite overwhelming.
While Lan Baobao was lost in thought, Ruo Ruo suddenly snatched the phone away and said sweetly into it, "Uncle Mu, my mommy is free now. Okay, I got it. I'll tell mommy to come down right away. Bye, Uncle Mu."
After hanging up, Ruo Ruo looked proudly at her brother, who gave her an approving glance. Lan Baobao felt like she was about to crumble but seeing her children's eager expressions made her reluctantly decide to comply.
"Mommy, hurry up and go down! Uncle Mu is waiting for you downstairs; he has something important to tell you," Ruo Ruo said with a genuine smile.
"Downstairs? We're in France, not back home. He might have arrived early but how could he be downstairs?"
"Really! Uncle Mu is really waiting downstairs. If you don't go down soon, he might just come up!"
Lan Baobao sighed inwardly; what kind of trouble had she gotten herself into?
Mu Jiangfeng had actually followed her all the way from their home country to France. Before marrying him, she couldn't see Ye Zixun, but now she was meeting a son of an official family. If this news reached Ye Zixun, it would cause more unrest.
She hadn't even married him yet and was already feeling mentally and physically exhausted; there were still ten years to go...
"Exactly! Baby, hurry up and go down; don't keep your confidant waiting too long! You have good fortune in love; make sure to cherish it," Li Xiaoran chimed in mischievously.
This is a secret of the wealthy; it would be a pity not to gossip about it.
Lan Baobao shot Li Xiaoran a glare; this Best Friend was truly being too much.
With a helpless sigh, Lan Baobao stared intently at the silent Mu Mu. If things escalated, Mumu would hold the highest position at home. Of course, he also had the most say in matters.
"Brother Mu, you are the best, the most handsome, the number one Brother Mu in the world. Please, have mercy and help me out, okay?" Lan Baobao said in a sweet voice, acting cute towards her son.
Instantly, everyone present felt goosebumps all over.
"Mommy, it's not that I don't want to help you, but this is a matter between two people. Uncle Mu wants to see you, not me! This matter is non-negotiable; hurry up and go down.
It's not good to keep Uncle Mu waiting. You should resolve your issues as soon as possible!" Mu Mu said calmly and seriously.
Lan Baobao pouted her lips and reluctantly glanced at the three of them. With so many relatives around, yet each one was throwing her under the bus. Feeling weak and pitiful, she had no choice but to go down.
As she walked down, she sighed inwardly; her status as a mother was really diminishing more and more.
"Baby, I thought I would have to wait a long time for you. I didn't expect you to come down so quickly! Are you happy to see me?" Mu Jiangfeng said upon seeing Lan Baobao's face twisted in distress; his heart ached terribly.
The bright woman before him was his precious one whom he had protected for so many years, yet she was being taken away by someone else.
Mu Jiangfeng felt increasingly unwilling about this situation; his desire to win Lan Baobao back grew stronger.
"I... I'm just surprised. Weren't you in the country? How did you suddenly end up here?" Lan Baobao asked curiously, wondering how Mu Jiangfeng knew her whereabouts in France.
They had only booked their hotel after arriving in France; he must have followed right after they checked in. Could this really be a coincidence?
"Baby, you didn't even inform me about such a big event as your marriage. If you had told me earlier, I could have contacted you anytime! If you don't contact me, does that mean I can't reach out to you?"
"No, no, I didn't mean that. I just found it sudden and unexpected, so I asked casually. You just got off the plane, right? Do you want to come up for a glass of water? Mumu They're all upstairs; I'll take you there."
"No, I didn't come to see them. I just came to see you!"
"Oh, really…"
Lan Baobao awkwardly laughed a couple of times, unsure of what to say to Mu Jiangfeng. She looked around at the hotel's decor and smiled foolishly, "This hotel is nicely decorated, isn't it? By the way, did you book a room? Do you want to book one now? The rooms here are pretty good; we all like them."
"This is the highest-end hotel in France; of course, the environment is nice. The Ye Family has always stayed in the best places; they would definitely stay here."
"Oh, I see."
No wonder Mu Jiangfeng could find out their address so quickly. After Lan Baobao finished speaking, she didn't know what else to say and awkwardly stood in front of him, looking around.
After a long while, Mu Jiangfeng gazed at the distant scenery and spoke softly.
It was Lan Baobao's attitude that hurt Mu Jiangfeng the most.
Lan Baobao fell silent; this version of Mu Jiangfeng was not what she wanted to see. In Lan Baobao's heart, Mu Jiangfeng had always been like an older brother. But now, in this situation, Lan Baobao didn't know how to handle it. To be fair, she really didn't want to hurt Mu Jiangfeng.
Mu Jiangfeng habitually reached out to touch Lan Baobao's hair and sighed.
She suddenly felt uncomfortable with this gesture from Mu Jiangfeng. In the past, when she didn't understand his feelings, she didn't pay attention to some of his subtle actions.
Now it was different; whenever Mu Jiangfeng got close, she felt uneasy all over, let alone such an intimate action as touching her hair.
"Mu Jiangfeng, I've decided to get married. Really. I think we're just friends now, right?" Lan Baobao looked at Mu Jiangfeng seriously. She could no longer respond to his feelings and had to put an end to it, minimizing the hurt as much as possible.
"Baby, I know. I'm just here to attend your wedding. I want to see you happy with my own eyes." Mu Jiangfeng paused and continued, "Isn't that okay?"
The pain on Mu Jiangfeng's face made Lan Baobao momentarily dazed.
Wasn't this a bit too cruel? After all, the person had come to attend her wedding, and it was rather impolite to turn them away.
"There's no need for Master Mu to worry about this; marrying me, she will be very happy," Ye Zixun's voice suddenly rang out, startling both of them.
Lan Baobao turned around to look at the person who should have been in France, and she felt an inexplicable joy inside.
Upon hearing Ye Zixun's voice, Mu Jiangfeng furrowed his brows tightly but did not say anything.
"You, how did you get here so soon?" Lan Baobao ran to Ye Zixun's side and whispered her question.
Ye Zixun immediately pulled Lan Baobao into his arms and kissed her fiercely.
"Getting married is a big deal; as the groom, how could I not show up? I finished my business early, so I had the old man send me over on a private jet," Ye Zixun said with a half-smile, looking at Mu Jiangfeng with a warning glint in his eyes.
The Mu family was becoming bolder; not long ago, they had tried to seduce her, and now they were chasing after her all the way to France, completely disregarding him.
