Marry Me Quick

Chapter 488

Chapter 488

Ziyue looked at Muchen's bold handwriting and pondered for a while before putting the invitation cards back on the table. There was a complicated notion in her eyes.

She was unsure but decided to sit beside him anyway. She asked, "Why do we need to invite so many people? Why not just invite a few of our close family members and friends?"

She had also thought about celebrating Zixi's birthday.

They didn't care if they had other children in the future. But they were almost certain that Zixi would be their most beloved child. As for his birthday, she hadn't thought about throwing a posh or grand party.

Although Zixi had grown to become more friendly recently, he was still a baby prone to social anxiety.

It would be enough to invite some close family members and friends over or hold an intimate birthday dinner at Lumiere Jade House. She thought Muchen would share the same sentiment and idea as her, but who knew the low-profile Muchen wanted to throw a grand birthday party for Zixi.

"It would be nice to have a bustling party at home." Muchen said while concentrating on the invitation cards, it was as if he was unaware of Ziyue's resistance.

"But…"

Ziyue wanted to persuade him, but Muchen interrupted her, "I have already made the necessary arrangements and gotten the news out. It's too late to call it off now."

This was no doubt Muchen's style. He was a go-getter. No matter the situation, he would just do it without discussing it with her first.

Ziyue couldn't help but feel disappointed.

She should've known better that he would not comply and conform to other people's expectations.

Zixi was their child. How absurd that he hadn't considered discussing this with her before singlehandedly deciding to throw a grand birthday party for their child?

Muchen buried his head in writing the invitation cards after he finished explaining to her.

Ziyue drew a deep breath, stood up, and said, "Up to you then."

Seeing that Muchen didn't respond, she left the study room with Zixi.

...

For the next two days, Ziyue was in Jingcheng City.

The following weekend after her return from Jingcheng City was Zixi's second birthday.

The news about the birthday party of the heir of LK Group had circulated around. The photos of the venue had leaked out even before Zixi's birthday.

She knew that it was with Muchen's consent that the photos of the venue were leaked out to the public.

Muchen was the one who put Zixi's birthday party together.

Ziyue bought a small cake and celebrated Zixi's birthday in advance.

Because tomorrow Zixi would celebrate his birthday as the heir of LK Group but tonight, he was the beloved child of Ziyue and none other than that.

Ziyue surrounded Zixi with her arms and guided him to sing and clap to the birthday song. After singing, she kissed his delicate cheek, "Happy birthday, baby!"

Every child loved vibrant and exquisite birthday cakes, and Zixi was no exception.

He writhed and struggled to get out of Ziyue's embrace to grab the cake.

Ziyue smiled and coaxed him, "Don't touch it before you blow out the candles."

As she spoke, she pointed at the lit candles on the cake, "Come on, let's blow out the candles with Mommy."

Zixi was a cooperative child. They blew out the candles and turned on the lights in the room again.

Muchen sat down, facing the mother and son with his poker face.

Ziyue ignored Muchen. She held Zixi's hand to cut the cake.

Ziyue fed Zixi a little bit of cake and then no more. She thought he was too young and susceptible to common illnesses. She wanted him to eat more nutritious food, so she rationed his snack consumption.

"Time to sleep. We have to wake up very early tomorrow." Muchen, sitting opposite of them, blurted out an order.

Ziyue was still smiling and talking to Zixi, but when she heard Muchen's words, the smile on her face disappeared. She lifted his head, shot a stolid gaze at him, and answered, "Oh."

Then, she brought Zixi upstairs.

Eventually, she put Zixi to sleep, but Muchen was nowhere in the bedroom.

Ziyue pushed the door open and bumped into Muchen. He was holding his phone in his hand.

Apparently, he was going to enter the room but was interrupted by a call.

Seeing this, Ziyue retracted her hand, turned around, and went to the bed.

She shut her eyes. After an unbeknownst duration, she could feel that the mattress slumped.

She knew it was Muchen coming to bed.

The next second, the man put his arm across her waist. He gradually pulled her toward him and wrapped her in his embrace.

Ziyue didn't move at all. She had been upset with him for the past few days. She knew Muchen was a sensitive man with a keen mind; he must've sensed her frustration.
