“Ah, Sia I heard that it’s your birthday today? A very happy birthday! How are you celebrating your birthday? Are you celebrating it with your ‘Best friends’? Where are you taking them? You guys gonna have a lot of fun right? How envious?” Meena sighed but she suddenly paused and eclaimed “Opps, Sia guess whom I saw, I see all your friends are here, including your beloved country bumpkin friend Xiao Li. Are they not with you? How awfull? Even your friends are not willing to celebrate your birthday with you, you must be feeling very stiffled right? How sad....hehe”

“Sia do you want to see your friends? Wait let me help you..” switching the camera, Meena moved her phone to show the few animals who were bickering with each other as she spoke “Look, even you best friend John is here. How lonely must you be for being unable to celebrate you birthday? ”

Just as Meena was grinning, Mu Jun joined his group of friends and entered into the picture. The moment Sia saw Mu Jun, her heart stopped beating and she looked surprised which meena happened to notice. Grinning in satisfaction, Meena exclaimed “Oh, Mu Jun is here. How handsome he is, look how well dressed he is for tonight’s banquet. He must have wanted to leave a good impression on Ms. Rao. Poor Sia, your man is about to get engaged with someone else, are you dissapointed?”

Thinking that Sia was in extreme grief and was unable to react because she was too sad, Meena grinned maliciously “Don’t worry Sia, I’ll definitely keep you updated. When they are going to get engaged, I’ll call you again, until then have fun. Oh, I forgot, happy birthday Sia, do you like my gift?”

With that said, Meena hung up the call with a malicious grin.

What Meena did not know was Sia was standing in the building right infron of her.

Looking at the picture of Mu Jun she had taken a screenshot of, Sia bit her lips lightly.

Only she knew how shaken she was the moment she saw Mu Jun wearing the suit that matched the dress he had given her.

.....

Bitting her lip, she thought for a moment before forwarding the picture to Mu Jun.

Seeing that it was almost time for the banquet to start, she turned around headed inside to put on her dress.

In the banquet hall, Mu Jun walked to his friends holding a glass of wine and sighed

Turing his head, Yang Jie looked at Mu Jun and asked “What’s wrong? You look extremely troubled?”

Sipping on the wine, Mu Jun furrowed his brow and answered “It’s about the engagement. I initially attended to banquet only because I wanted to cancel the engagement. I even approached Mr. and Mrs. Rao to talk about it. But the moment I brought up the topic Mrs. Rao simply brushed me off saying we could talk about it later. Infact when I initiated to break off the engagement, i Could see that Mr. Rao was very eager to cancel the engagement. He had almost agreed to cancel the engagement but Mrs. Rao stopped him”

“Do you think Mrs. Rao is purposefully stopping you from bringing up the topic because she wants you to marry her daughter?” Su Yan asked with a frown

Shaking her head, An Ran answered “I don’t think so. She looks like a kind young lady”

“Hmph, you can’t judge a book by it’s cover” Su Yan harrumphed. Ever since she learned that Ms. Rao was eyeing her best friend’s man, she had a bad impression on the Rao family. No matter whether they were good or bad, she only felt that they were bad.

Furrowing his brows, Mu Jun shook his head and said “I don’t think Mrs. Rao is bad. She looks like a good person and gives the same vibe as my mother. And moreover, Mrs. Rao was actually helping me out. Angering Mr. Rao would do no good for the Mu’s. Moreover, Mrs. Rao said that only her daughter could decide on whether to continue the agreement or break it off. So she hopped that I discuss it with her daughter directly”

“Hmm.... guess you can’t avoid meating this Ms. Rao” Si Ming frowned

Just as the group fell silent, Lu Jin saw Evan Rao walk past. The moment he saw Mu Jun, the latter harrumphed and turned his head away.

Lu Jin who happened to see this childish behaviour, scratched his head awkwardly and said “Uhm, am I the only one who feels that the three men of the Rao family doesn’t seem to like Mu Jun?”

“You are not the only one, I can see that too” Si Ming whispered

“Me too” the other animals responded

“Uhm, I don’t know why but the three men seemed to be extremely on guard when they see third brother. They look at him as if he was a thief, here to steal their treasure” Yang Jie frowned

“But third brother is not here to steal but break up with their treasure” Si Ming smiled awkwardly

Rubbing his chin, Lu Jin squinted his eyes at the three men and said “This familiar feeling, why do I feel the three of them look extremely unreasonable? Moreover, I feel that I have actually experienced this feeling a plenty of times”

Just then, Mu Jun’s cell phone pinged with notification. Reaching for his cellphone, he saw it was a text from Sia. With a smile, when he saw the screenshot Sia had sent him his face suddenly darkened.

Walking to the side, he immediately called Sia. The moment the call was picked up, Mu Jun hurriedly tried to explain “Baby, it’s not what you think...”

But before Mu Jun could complete his sentence, Sia interrupted him “That suit you are wearing matched with the dress you gave me. Say, is that a couple outfit?”

Though stunned, Mu Jun still answered “Uhm, yeah”

“Why are wearing it for someone else banquet?”

“Well, I just wanted to enjoy the feeling and thought of wearing a couple’s outfit with you since I can’t be there for you on your birthday ” Mu Jun answered awkwardly

Hearing that Sia paused. Just as she was about to spead, Mu Jun continued “Also, I have another reason for wearing it”

“What’s the reason?” Sia asked

“You’ll know it later” Mu Jun answered Mysteriously

“Oh”

“Sia”

“Hmm?”

“I miss you”

“....me too”

“I’ll see you very soon”

“Hmm.....very soon”

After hanging up the call, Mu Jun joined his group of friends, just in time to see that the banquet was about to start officially.

After a brief talk, it was time for the star of the banquet to make her appearance.
