Arbors intertwined

No matter what decision Mu Zixin made, after the party, she still had to obediently go home and wait for the boring and busy birthday party the next day.

Still, the morning is something to look forward to.

She secretly brought the painting back to her room and kept it a secret from the housekeeper and Aunt Li who had witnessed the scene. Thinking of her elder sister's expression when she received the gift, she slept soundly.

On the second day, Mu Zixin woke up early, left the room after washing up, and sneaked to Mu Zixiao's door to listen for any movement inside.

I have already inquired before, Mu Zixiao came back late last night, Yi An and Yi Ning were sleeping in their own room, so there should be only the eldest sister in the room.

However, before Mu Zixin could stand firmly at the door, the door suddenly opened.

Mu Zixin hurriedly stood up straight, eyes wide open, looked at Mu Zixiao behind the door, and smiled under her surprised gaze: "Sister, good morning~"

After recovering from the shock of someone at the door, Mu Zixiao looked Mu Zixin up and down: "Morning, what are you doing here?"

"Eh... I want to hear if you're awake, sister." Mu Zixin thought for a while, then answered honestly, with a smile on her face again, "Sis, since you're awake, wait here, I have a gift for you!" Saying that, without waiting for Mu Zixiao to answer, she rushed back to her room and took out the painting.

"Where are people giving gifts to others on their birthdays?" Mu Zixiao shook her head angrily and said with a smile. Seeing the large flat piece that Mu Zixin carefully held out, and remembering what she said a week ago, she couldn't help turning her eyes to It landed on the wrapping paper of the gift, as if wanting to see the picture inside directly through the wrapping paper.

"I'm happy." Mu Zixin said nonchalantly, took the painting into Mu Zixiao's room and put it on the bed, "Okay, sister, take it apart and have a look, do you like it~"

Mu Zixiao's performance has already been seen in Mu Zixin's eyes, and she is looking forward to the elder sister's reaction when she sees the painting.

While speaking, Mu Zixiao had already put his hand on the wrapping paper.

The packaging is relatively thin and very easy to unpack.

After a while, the wrapping paper was carefully peeled off, revealing the framed painting inside.

In the painting, two happy and smiling villains jumped into Mu Zixiao's eyes.

Standing aside, Mu Zixin watched her eldest sister sit down slowly and look at the painting carefully, and couldn't help but arouse some emotions.

After a while, Mu Zixiao turned her head with a smile: "I like it very much."

Mu Zixin showed a big smile: "As long as you like it, let's hang it on the wall!" As she said that, she kicked off the slippers on her feet, stepped on the bed and lifted the picture frame to hang it on the bedside. A splash of bright color.

Mu Zixiao watched Mu Zixin's quick movements from behind, and couldn't help joking: "He's still as reckless as when he was a child."

"I've grown up." Mu Zixin protested while adjusting the position of the painting for the last time, "I can already help Eldest Sister."

Mu Zixiao waited for her words, and immediately continued: "In that case, come to the company to help me."

Mu Zixin turned her head, her smiling face had already collapsed: "Sister, please forgive me, you are busy with the company, why bother dragging me into the water again."

Mu Zixiao shook her head with a smile. She knew Mu Zixin's reaction a long time ago, and she was just joking: "It's been more than a month since you came back, haven't you made arrangements yet?"

Since it was a serious question, Mu Zixin answered seriously, "Well, I still plan to open a gallery."

Although she didn't tell Mu Zixin's intentions, it's useless for others to ask.

However, even though she didn't know whether Mu Zixin had a plan or was just playing around, Mu Zixiao still supported her. At the birthday party Mu Yansheng specially organized in the evening, Mu Zixiao saw the situation and felt bored. The younger sister was rescued from Mu Yansheng, and she took her to meet some people who had business in the painting industry at the banquet.

"Sister, it's good to have you." Mu Zixin followed Mu Zixiao, the two sisters, one in black and the other in gold, looked particularly seductive in their evening gowns.Mu Zixin kept a generous smile on her face, turned her head and said to Mu Zixiao with emotion.

Mu Yansheng held this birthday dinner to introduce his daughter to everyone. After all, Mu Zixin has been abroad for a few years and has not shown many times in this class. All the uncles, and "by the way" the nephews of these uncles.

"I think you've handled it well." Mu Zixiao's smile is more elegant, concealed. Although she is already a mother of two children, her figure and skin are not as bad as that of a young girl in her 20s, a few more After years of polishing and precipitation, it looks calm and moving.

"But that's boring, isn't it." Mu Zixin shrugged. This gesture seemed a little more playful and cute to many people, and it was completely impossible to tell that it was annexed when he first returned a month ago. The evil star of the Han family and some of the Mu family's business.

While paying attention to the pair of sisters, many people began to evaluate how much of the turmoil was secretly manipulated by the Mu family and Mu Zixiao, and the younger sister Mu Zixin might just be a simple executor.

Of course, this turmoil has completely subsided, no one would be so foolish as to stir up trouble now and provoke Mu's hostility for nothing.

Following Mu Zixiao and getting to know a few people, Mu Zixin felt that today's task was almost done, and the harvest was not bad, so he greeted Mu Zixiao when he was free, and sneaked to the balcony to relax with some snacks.

She intentionally took a break, so she naturally chose an unremarkable balcony with half-covered curtains.

However, when she raised the curtains, she realized that the biggest surprise was hidden here.

"It's really a good birthday present." Mu Zixin couldn't help sighing softly, and simply put down the curtain and let it float down to block the noise of the banquet hall behind him, holding the plate in his hand and looking at the back in front of him leisurely.

The night wind blew Qiao Ran's drooping hair from time to time, and Mu Zixin couldn't help but want to touch how the long hair that looked good would feel.

At this time, Qiao Ran let out a long sigh of relief, as if he was going to end his hiding here and go back to the banquet hall, but when he turned around, he found that there was someone standing behind him at some point.

That person, when she first came in, saw her from the crowd at a glance, watching her walk among so many upper-class people with a smile, and deal with it with ease, no matter where she went, there was a group of people around her.

She is the host of this banquet, the most dazzling star, how could she suddenly be behind her?

"I wanted to be lazy, but I didn't expect someone to come here first." Seeing that Qiao Ran had found her, Mu Zixin spoke naturally, her familiar expression was completely different from when she faced other people before.

She walked up to Qiao Ran, leaned on the marble railing of the balcony with her empty hands, turned her head and smiled at Qiao Ran, "Do you mind if I share this balcony and the beautiful and quiet night?"

Qiao Ran didn't know how long Mu Zixin had been here, but her attitude did relax her slightly tense spirit, and she shook her head with a smile.

Mu Zixin happily handed over the plate and motioned to Qiao Ran to take it by herself: "It's really a surprise to see you here, God knows how boring this kind of banquet will be."

Qiao Ran looked at the snacks on the plate. She hardly ate anything in the banquet hall. Seeing that Mu Zixin was so natural, she didn't refuse. She took one and put it in her mouth. It tasted really good.

Hearing Mu Zixin's question, she took out a pen and paper from her small bag and wrote on it.

[Teacher Zhou has something to do and can’t leave, so let me come here on his behalf.Happy birthday. ]

Mu Zixin read the words on the paper, leaned sideways against the railing, and stretched out her empty hand towards her. Seeing Qiao Ran looking at her suspiciously, she smiled naturally: "You all wished me a happy birthday, What about my birthday present? I'm not talking about Mr. Zhou's, but from you, Qiao Ran. "

Sure enough, Qiao Ran showed a little embarrassment on his face.

Mu Zixin was proud of herself, but she didn't show it, with a hurt look on her face: "Qiao Ran, we can be regarded as good friends, don't we even have gifts?" She knew very well that Qiao Ran If you are not careful, you will be alienated. Of course, in terms of the definition of "friend", you have to be sure first.

Her wonderful performance earned Qiao Ran a hasty explanation.

[I didn't know it was your birthday dinner in advance, so I didn't prepare it...] Although Qiao Ran also realized that Mu Zixin took her to celebrate her birthday last night, it seems that as a friend, she should really prepare a gift for her For Mu Zixin.

Looking at the hasty handwriting on the paper, Mu Zixin was in a very good mood, and of course she didn't cling to the difference between "not prepared" and "not brought".

Qiao Ran is so smart, some things can be thought of by herself, and then fermented slowly, it would be annoying to hold on to them.

"Then I'll give you the number, remember to text me when you're ready." This is Mu Zixin's point.

Mu Zixin breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Qiao Ran deposit her number and send him a text message.

Finally, he saved his number in Qiao Ran's phone.

In the future, I have nothing to text her, Mu Zixin thought to himself.
