Chapter 256: Giggling on the Outside, Cursing on the Inside

Mu Jinghang was sitting at the end of the table wearing a crown…

“It’s… your birthday today?” Qiao Qing asked, confused .

Mu Jinghang defenselessly smiled, “That’s right . ”

Inside, he was growling, today isn’t my birthday!!

It was his third brother who suddenly asked him this question – what reason would be able to get a girl to drink willingly?

How did he answer? A birthday party or a wedding?

At a wedding, the happy couple would bring alcohol around and ask people to drink . Who wouldn’t take a drink in return?

And so… today became his birthday .

Why the hell didn’t he make today his own birthday!

He felt extremely happy that he was still a single man . If he had a girlfriend, he would’ve had to have the wedding today .

Staring at the very obviously rush-bought cake, and the dishes that were indifferent from usual… Qiao Qing’s expression was hard to describe .

“How come there are the three of us? Where are your friends and family?”

The second young master of the Mu family always celebrate birthdays this cheaply?

Mu Jinghang giggled on the outside, but on the inside, he was cursing mother f*****, “I’m not tight with my family . That is why I am always following third brother around . I have no friends . Only third brother and brother Qi . ”

Qiao Qing paused, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? I didn’t even prepare a gift . ”

Mu Jinghang said, “You don’t need to bring a birthday gift . I’d be happy if you can give me some face and drink with me later!”

Qiao Qing pursed her lips, “Brother went home for dinner . Should we ask him to come back? Also, where’s Jun Yexuan?”

“There’s no need to ask brother Qi to come back . His family dinner is obviously more important! As for third bro… I’m sure he’ll come down in a bit . ”

Just then, he heard footsteps .

Next, Jun Yexuan walked down the spiral stairs wearing a fancy suit .

His dress pants were ironed straight and his matching shirt was carefully chosen . Over the carefully matched shirt was a jacket that had a purple swallowtail brooch pinned to it . It added a pop of color to this dull toned set .

Everything suited Jun Yexuan’s deviously beautiful face and it made him appear especially handsome and energized .

An army of horses galloped across Mu Jinghang’s heart . It was his “birthday”, why did Jun Yexuan himself dress like a groom?? What was he planning on doing?!

Jun Yexuan walked over and opened a bottle of wine . He poured for everyone and raised the glass, “Let us wish Mu Jinghang a happy birthday . ”

Mu Jinghang raised his glass as well, “Thank you, third brother . ”

Qiao Qing felt that something wasn’t right . But since both of them raised their glasses, she didn’t get a chance to think too much . She too, raised her glass, “Happy birthday . ”

After that, Mu Jinghang asked Qiao Qing to drink with him every chance he got . He did all he could as the birthday boy of the day .

After Qiao Qing had three drinks, Jun Yexuan shook his head at Mu Jinghang .

He wanted her drunk, but he wasn’t going to kid about her health .

After dinner, Qiao Qing’s face had reddened .

Mu Jinghang got up after getting a look from Jun Yexuan, “It’s late . Thank you both for celebrating with me . I’m going to sleep . You should rest soon as well . ”

Qiao Qing nodded . She stood up and felt her world turn upside down .

Jun Yexuan caught her as she stumbled . The way he stared at Qiao Qing was profound and difficult to read, “You’re drunk?”

Qiao Qing rubbed her temples . Even her voice changed, “I’m not . ”

Mu Jinghang caught a glimpse of Jun Yexuan’s deep and serene eyes and cursed on the inside .

He leaned in and reminded Jun Yexuan, “Third brother, this is brother Qi’s family . Take it easy . ”

“I don’t need you to remind me . ” Jun Yexuan threw out that statement and picked Qiao Qing up princess style . He then walked upstairs .
