The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

"I wonder what important guest it will be."

Mu Ya'an spoke softly, helping the maid carry the things back into the house.

The maid wasn't much older than Mu Ya'an, so they got along quite well during this time.

Upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words, the maid then spoke softly.

"They must be very important guests. The gentleman even hired a chef from a seven-star hotel to cook for them, so all I need to do in a moment is sort out the ingredients."

Hearing the maid say that, Mu Ya'an became even more curious.

Afternoon time.

As Mu Ya'an was sitting in the living room waiting, she heard the sound of a car returning outside.

She then walked to the French windows and looked outside.

A black, extended luxury van slowly drove into Lanhe Garden through the main gate and finally stopped in the courtyard.

Gong Juncheng got out of the car first and then waited beside it.

Seeing this, Mu Ya'an thought that the person who could make Gong Juncheng wait so politely must be a very important guest.

Gong Juncheng didn't ask her to leave when he went out this morning, so she should be fine here now.

Because she heard that there were important guests, Mu Ya'an dressed up specially.

Mu Ya'an had never touched the clothes that Gong Juncheng had sent from the brand store before.

But now, in order not to embarrass Gong Juncheng, she still changed into it and put on a delicate makeup.

A short while later, someone got out of the car.

The first person to get off the bus was a middle-aged woman wearing a plain-colored, modified cheongsam.

When Mu Ya'an saw the person coming down, she was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face changed.

The person who came down was Madam Rui.

Mu Ya'an, who grew up in H City, did not often interact with the Rui family, but he did know Mrs. Rui.

After Mrs. Rui got out of the car, a short while later, Reina jumped out of the car as well, in a very lively state.

Mu Ya'an watched from afar, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, before turning around and returning to the living room.

It turned out that the distinguished guests that Gong Juncheng was going to receive were members of the Rui family.

She took a deep breath, feeling inexplicably sad.

After getting out of the car, Reina was shocked to see how grand the courtyard of Lanhe Garden was.

"This courtyard is much larger than the original Gong family compound."

After she finished speaking, she bit her tongue lightly and carefully observed Gong Juncheng's expression.

Seeing that Gong Juncheng's expression had not changed at all, she then put on a smile again and asked, "Brother Juncheng, can we stay here tonight?"

Upon hearing Reina's words, Madam Rui's expression changed immediately, and she said in a deep voice.

“Rina, don’t be silly. Your brother and father will be coming tomorrow. If you keep acting up, I’ll have to take you back first.”

Seeing Mrs. Rui's serious expression, Reina stuck out her tongue and whispered.

"I was just joking with Juncheng, Mom, is it really that serious?"

Gong Juncheng looked at Rui Na with a calm expression.

"Mrs. Rui is just worried about your reputation. Rui Na, you can make jokes like this in front of me, but you can't do it in public."

"Society is different now than before. Even a small rumor can be spread far and wide. Mrs. Rui is worried that you will be seriously hurt by the rumors."

Madam Rui was very pleased to see that Gong Juncheng treated Rui Na like a caring older brother.

"Okay, okay, I know, Jun-sung-hyung. I'm starving. Let's go inside and have dinner. Didn't you say you'd already had the chef prepare dinner?"

Gong Juncheng nodded and led Reina and Madam Reina into the house.

Inside the restaurant, Mu Ya'an was helping to set out the dishes.

When Reina and Mrs. Reina arrived at the restaurant, they saw Mu Ya'an helping out, and their expressions changed.

"Why are you here?"

When Reina saw Mu Ya'an, her expression was even more surprised.

Mrs. Rui realized that Reina had lost her composure and immediately reached out to pull Reina's hand.

Mu Ya'an was wearing an apron, making her look like the mistress of the courtyard. It was obvious that Gong Juncheng had asked her to stay here.

And they've been living there for quite some time.

When Mu Ya'an faced Reina and Madam Reina, his expression was very calm. He took off his apron and handed it to the maid beside him naturally.

The maid beside him naturally reached out and took it.

"Sir...dinner is ready."

Gong Juncheng looked at Mu Ya'an with an exceptionally serious expression.

Especially when you see Mu Ya'an wearing an apron, she looks like a little woman who has prepared dinner at home and is waiting for her husband to come home.

"I was just bored and wanted to help, so please don't blame Sister Hua."

The servants were silently grateful to Mu Ya'an.

After all, ever since the hangover soup incident, the servants had been extremely cautious in front of Gong Juncheng, afraid of angering him and losing their jobs.

"Miss Rui, Mrs. Rui, please have a seat. You must be very tired after a long day on the plane."

"This is a dinner that Mr. Gong specially instructed the chef of the seven-star hotel to prepare to entertain Miss Rui and Mrs. Rui."

Seeing Mu Ya'an standing next to Gong Juncheng, her face full of tenderness, and wearing a custom-made outfit from a well-known brand, Rui Na couldn't help but feel jealous.

Mu Ya'an was nowhere near this spirited and high-spirited a while ago.

"Juncheng, you actually brought her to Beicheng?! Aren't you afraid...?"

As she spoke, she seemed unable to find any excuse to criticize Gong Juncheng's behavior. Halfway through her sentence, her expression became extremely awkward.

"Aren't you afraid that Miss Mu will be severely damaged by the rumors? Besides, your relationship with Miss Mu has always been the focus of the media's attention. Miss Mu has a fiancé, and you have a fiancée..."

Mu Ya'an stood quietly beside Gong Juncheng, her expression unchanged in the face of Reina's words.

Mrs. Rui remained relatively calm in the face of the current situation.

She glanced at Mu Ya'an, nodded politely as a greeting, and then spoke in a calm tone.

"Mr. Gong is indeed a man of great character and loyalty. I knew I hadn't misjudged you. No matter what grudges exist between the Gong family and the Mu family, Miss Mu is innocent. I thought you would target Miss Mu after the Mu family's misfortune, but seeing how well you've taken care of her, I admire you even more."

"Our Reina, we were right to have chosen the right person."

When Madam Rui said these words, her expression was very polite, but she reminded Gong Juncheng from another angle.

The person who helped him back then was Reina, not Muya'an.

The Mu family was the instigator of the Gong family's troubles.

As expected of a writer, Mrs. Rui has a delicate mind. The way she said those words had a completely different flavor.

Mu Ya'an glanced at Gong Juncheng and, sure enough, saw that the man's expression was much colder and sharper than before.

The relationship between them, which had just been eased with great difficulty, was once again stirred up by Madam Rui's few words.
