After being urged repeatedly by Li Fenglan, Yun Muqing arrived at the banquet ten minutes later.

She was dressed in an elegant long gown that accentuated the curves of her body, and she wore a pair of high heels that brought out the beauty of her calves. Her fair skin and charming looks made her the center of attention.

Many young men dressed in expensive clothes gasped with admiration when they saw her, while the women seemed unhappy and envious.

All the famous actresses, top supermodels, and respectable socialites became side characters as soon as Yun Muqing stepped into the lobby.

"Mother, Aunt Fengqin, I'm sorry. I was busy with work earlier…" Yun Muqing said while hurrying over to her mother's side. Suddenly, she noticed Chu Feng standing not far away.

She was surprised to see him, though the emotion turned into joy and excitement. "Chu Feng? Why are you here too?"


Chu Feng smiled at the sight of the beautiful woman. "I was worried, so I came here to check on you."

Yun Muqing nodded. She felt safe and warm whenever he was around.

Li Hua gently swirled the champagne flute in his hand and snorted derisively. "I guess you've been really busy ever since you were promoted. Not only you didn't pick us up at the airport, but you made us wait for you for half an hour here! I don't really mind it, but my mother is your elder and also a district official in Yanjing. You didn't even give her a call to ask if she's okay. Don't you think you should've shown more respect?"

He lifted his chin and pretended to be assertive. "If you don't welcome us here, you can tell it straight to us. We'll leave immediately and not give you any more trouble."

Li Fengqin crossed her arms and grunted coldly. She deliberately turned her head away from Yun Muqing to express her dissatisfaction.

"Ah, that's not the case at all! We're family, right? You're always welcome here. This is indeed Muqing's fault," Li Fenglan said while holding her daughter's wrist. If Li Fengqin and her son were offended, they would not help her with the matchmaking, and her dreams of living the high life would be over.

"Muqing, apologize to your Aunt Fengqin and your cousin now," Li Fenglan said hastily.

Even though Yun Muqing hoped that those two pests would leave, she could only yield and apologize to them for now. She lifted a glass of red wine and said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Fenglan. This is all my fault. I was really too busy at work, I…"

"That's enough. I don't have time to listen to your excuses," Li Fengqin said dismissively while waving her hand. She glanced at her wristwatch and said, "Mr. Fang will be here very soon. All you have to do is give him a good impression, and the engagement is as good as done."
