Ningxi's thoughts suddenly stalled, her brow knitting together slightly, "You mean... Luna did it on purpose""I told you this woman had ulterior motives. Today at the office, she even tried to seduce...Faced with the old man's act of turning the tables, Li Bochen just casually twitched his lips and blurted out, "I've been quite busy lately. I'll definitely let you hold your grandson next year when you celebrate your birthday again."

The old man raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Well then, if you go back on your word next year, I'll hold you to it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the somewhat awkward atmosphere instantly eased considerably.

Mu Xiyin, who was sitting beside him, blushed and immediately stood up to offer a toast.

She was about to speak with a smile, but Jian Yining on the other side acted faster, interrupting Mu Xiyin's words.

"Today is your grandfather's birthday, I also raise a glass to you, wishing you good fortune like the East China Sea and good health."

Mu Xiyin's smile froze instantly.

Looking into Jian Yi Ning's eyes, a hint of coldness appeared.

But she quickly adjusted her expression and followed up with a few auspicious words.

"Good, good, good."

"Old Master Li nodded with satisfaction and looked at Mu Qinshan beside him, praising him without hesitation, 'Look at these two children, they are really a good match. Yinyin is a good girl, if I could have such a well-behaved and sensible daughter.'"

"Our little Yin'er is able to bring joy to our elder. She is truly blessed." Mu Qin Shan, Mu Xi Yin's father, smiled and took a sip of wine to hide his earlier awkwardness.

At today's banquet, he was seated beside Old Master Li. Such an arrangement spoke volumes to everyone present.

Mr. Li nodded, "From now on, Yin Yin can stay by my side forever. It's a blessing for this old man."

"Uncle Li and Si Shao, it's enough that you don't think I'm troublesome."

Mu Xi Yin's cheeks flushed, she naturally understood the implication in Elder Li's words, and shyly looked at Li Bo Chen.

"It's well known that this is a lot of trouble, yet you still ask us not to be put off. Miss Mu, you really know how to speak."

Li Bochen's expression was playful, like a bucket of cold water poured onto Mu Xiyin's head, extinguishing the anticipation in her heart in an instant.

She clenched her fist in dissatisfaction, her eyes darkening slightly.

Jane Ning across from them had always been paying attention to Li Bochen and Mu Xiyin. Seeing Li Bochen's reaction, she was in a good mood.

"How is that possible Yinyin is such a well-behaved and sensible girl. It's impossible to find such a good girl even with a lantern." Lao Ye glared at Li Bichen, "Lao Si, don't you think so"

Li Bochen drained the glass of wine in one gulp, "You like it, that's all that matters to me."

Mu Xiyin looked at Li Bichen's perfunctory attitude, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes. Suddenly, she saw Old Master Li winking at her, and then a servant brought over a pitcher of freshly squeezed juice.

Mu Xiyin immediately took the juice and pushed it to Li Boche's face.

"Little Four, drinking is bad for your stomach. This freshly squeezed juice is good, why don't you try some"

Li Bochen ignored him, saying dismissively, "No need, I'm not interested."

Jian Yi Ning chuckled lightly, "Mu Xi Yin, it seems you still don't understand the Fourth Brother. He doesn't like drinking those sweet things."

Mu Xiyin glanced at Jian Yining with a gentle smile, "People's tastes change, Second Sister-in-law, don't they"

A single sentence from her second sister-in-law caused Jian Yining to clench the cup in her hand.

"Ding dong—"

Li Bohan's phone suddenly rang.

Li Boche took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID "Luo Ningxi" and didn't hang up. Instead, he directly turned off his phone.

"Is there something urgent"

Mu Xi's voice, soft and melodious, drifted over. She abandoned the juice and poured him a glass of wine instead.

But Li Bochen was annoyed by those phone calls, he took a gulp of red wine and said, "Nothing much, just some trivial matters."

Seeing Li Bochen drink the wine, Mu Xiyin's heart beat wildly against her chest, a gleam of triumph flashing in her eyes. Li Bochen, wait until you become my man. Then naturally, Old Master Li will hold you responsible for me. At that time...

Old Master Li saw the two of them like this, and he was also very pleased.

"Come, everyone, let's have dinner. It's a family feast tonight, so don't be stiff."

After three rounds of drinks, in a short while, Li Bochen suddenly felt a dizziness in his head and reached out to support his forehead.

He didn't drink much today, let alone get drunk, but how could he be like this now

But Mu Xi Yin noticed Li Bo Chen's abnormality, and hurriedly reached out to support him; "Fourth Young Master, are you alright"

"Let go!" Li Bichen's voice was cold and hard, but the moment Mu Xiyin leaned closer, the dizziness and discomfort she felt inexplicably eased for a moment.

In that stunned moment, Mu Xiyin had already come over, leaning against him and saying to Elder Li, "Uncle Li, Young Master Si seems to have had too much to drink. I'll send him back first."ld recover. She asked tentatively, "Well, I just called but it went straight to voicemail the whole time. You... haven't gone home yet"Li Bochen raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "I went back home...
