Chapter 407

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."

Li Fenglan was very grateful. "Thank you so much, Fengqin. I'll really have to thank you somehow if

Muqing manages to marry Mr. Fang."

Li Hua squinted and looked at Yun Muqing carefully. Look at her flawless figure! I have to admit she's a

masterpiece. Fang Ming is so lucky.

Yun Muqing was confused, though she had a bad premonition of things to come. "Engagement? What

engagement? Mother, did you match me with another man without my knowledge again? Why did you

do that?"

Yun Muqing stamped her foot angrily, and tears welled up in her eyes. "I already told you I have a

boyfriend, and his name is Chu Feng. Can you stop meddling in my personal life?"

She went up next to Chu Feng and hugged his arm to declare her stance.

The men among the attendees were shocked and jealous. If looks could kill, Chu Feng would have

been dead by now.
