Li Beinian leaned against the chair and her lips curled up in a mocking smirk when she saw this.

This family of three, the father was affectionate and the daughter was filial.

What a good scene.

Compared to her, Li Xueqing seemed more like Li Haoran’s biological daughter.

“I’ll go to the washroom.” Li Beinian stood up and walked away.

By the time she came back, everyone was already sitting on the table.

Mu Donglin was already sitting beside Wu Meiya and had left an empty spot beside him.

Beside Mu Che and opposite Mu Donglin, there was also another empty seat.

But that seat was probably reserved for another person.

“Nian Nian, come here.”

Mu Donglin spoke.

Almost all eyes were on her.

Lin Kerou sat at the very end, her eyes on Li Beinian and her emotions unpredictable.

Li Beinian walked over naturally and saw that there was a gift box on the table.

Li Beinian sat down and asked, “This...”

“I bought you a small gift from France. Open it.”

Li Beinian was slightly surprised and subconsciously glanced over at Lin Kerou.

Lin Kerou looked soft and weak and sat there quietly.

But her eyes weren’t calm as she stared at Li Beinian.

Li Beinian pursed her lips and opened the gift box.

It was a beautiful necklace.

The necklace was very luxurious and had huge pink diamonds on it accompanied by many small diamonds. It was in the shape of a rabbit and was very special.

“Do you like it?” Mu Donglin seemed expectant as looked at Li Beinian and said, “I picked it after much thinking, and I thought this suit you best.”

The moment his words fell, Li Beinian felt like the pair of eyes staring at her became colder and more unfriendly.

She said softly and mindfully, “I like it, it’s so cute.”

Mu Donglin’s face relaxed and he took it out. “Let me help you put it on.”

His voice was soft as he stood up and walked behind Li Beinian.

He put on the cold necklace and Li Beinian could clearly feel Lin Kerou’s resentment.

The corners of her lips raised slightly and she was about to thank him when she heard rhythmic footsteps.

The sound of military boots striking the ground was particularly irritating.

Everyone looked over and saw a tall, slender figure.

He was standing straight and tall, with an icy-cold aura. His cold and imposing breath could be felt clearly just by standing, and he was so daunting that nobody would dare to approach him.

Mu Xichen brought about silence to the scene just by standing there.

He looked around with cold, dark eyes.

“It’s so lively.”

His gentle voice fell and broke the momentary silence in the room.

Wu Meiya’s face was stiff for a moment, but she quickly said, “Oh, Xichen is here. We haven’t eaten together as a family for a long time. The last time was five years ago, wasn’t it?”

Mu Xichen raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, “Yeah. I still remember what you said to me five years ago.”

Wu Meiya’s smile completely froze.

Mu Che’s face sank and he shouted, “You’re already back, so why are you talking about the past? Come sit!”

“Didn’t Auntie mention this first? It’s harmless to reminisce, isn’t it, Dad?”

Mu Xichen’s voice was soft, and he called him meaningfully.

He walked with his long legs over and naturally sat down on the empty seat.

The atmosphere was dull and awkward.

Nobody spoke.
