His Beloved Darling

"I can't even choose a place to stay, please send me back to A Country,"

The man in black's lips twitched slightly. Back to A Country?

They had gone through great pains to escort her back to S Country, how could they possibly send her back!

The man in black stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Mr. Mu, Miss Qiao's identity is prestigious, please make sure to accommodate all her requests. The leader will explain the reasons to you later."

Mu Jingxi's piercing gaze, sharp as a blade, landed on Qiao An.

Qiao An's lips curved up slightly, giving him a provocative look.

"Mr. Mu..." the man in black hesitated, obviously trying to persuade him.

Mu Jingxi raised his hand, his demeanor cool, "I know."

In front of Empire Hotel, a row of Hummers parked boldly and aggressively.

Mu Jingxi and his subordinates, in a protective stance, guarded Qiao An at the center as the entourage boarded the vehicles and quickly left.

Banquet hall.

The departure of Mu Jingxi led to the end of the entire wedding. Given Mu Jingxi's special identity, his sudden departure was understood by the guests.

Ji Qingxin, along with her father Ji Zhicheng and mother Chen Min, forced smiles and apologized to the guests.

Back in the dressing room, Ji Qingxin leaned back in her chair, exhaustedly holding her forehead.

Yan Zhenzhen burst in, her face filled with indignation, "Qingxin, do you know what those envious and resentful gossips outside were saying about you just now?"

"What did they say?" Ji Qingxin rubbed her temples wearily.

The one wedding in her life had ended in such regrettable fashion, and this would become a knot in her heart for life.

Yan Zhenzhen sat beside her, speaking out indignantly, "I just went to the restroom, and those gossips actually said that Brother Jingxi wasn't on a mission but that he... left the hotel with a woman!"

"What?" Ji Qingxin abruptly lifted her head, a cold light flashing in her eyes, "Are you sure?"

"They said it with absolute certainty, as if it really happened."

After Yan Zhenzhen finished speaking, she noticed Ji Qingxin's complexion had turned very ugly. She attempted to comfort her aimlessly, "Qingxin, don't listen to their nonsense. They are just jealous that you're getting married to Brother Jingxi, so they're spreading rumors and talking nonsense..."

"Zhenzhen, I want to be alone."

Yan Zhenzhen stood up, intending to leave when Ji Zhicheng and Chen Min pushed open the slightly ajar door of the dressing room.

They glared at Yan Zhenzhen angrily, "Zhenzhen, what you just said—is it true?"

"Uncle, Aunt..."

"Did Jingxi really leave with another woman?"

Yan Zhenzhen nodded reluctantly, "That's what they said."

"Hmph!"

Chen Min pulled Ji Qingxin to leave, "Qingxin, come with me. The Mu Family must give us an explanation today!"

......

Under the golden glow, the Mu Family's Main Building looked like a grand palace.

Majestic and profound, it bore a solemnity that had settled over time.

Outside the gate, sentries stood guard.

As soon as the Hummers appeared, the sentries saluted and let them through.

Mu Jingxi had called the butler of the Main Building in advance to have him prepare a guest room in the West Wing for a guest who would be staying.

Just after getting out of the car, the butler dressed in a black suit, along with uniformly dressed servants, came forward and greeted them respectfully, "Third Young Master, you've returned. Miss, hello."

Qiao An nodded, a faint smile on her lips as her bright eyes took in the Main Building. The Mu Family's stamp of refinement was evident in every blade of grass and every tree.

It was clearly wealth and heritage amassed through money.

Presumably, as it was Mu Jingxi's wedding day, the Main Building had been festooned with joyous decorations.
