After the song, Mu Tianen wanted to leave, but Leng Yan pulled her back. The latter tilted her head and looked at him with doubt.

Leng Yan smiled at her, then looked up at the crowd and said in a low voice, "Thank you all for coming. I have another announcement. The beautiful girl beside me is my girlfriend, Mu Tianen. I hope you will take care of her."

Mu Tianen was shocked, in surprise. She stared blankly at Leng Yan. They had been together for such a long time. This was the first time he introduced her to everyone.

She did not mind if anyone knew they were together, as long as they were in love, it was enough. But she would not deny the sweetness at this moment, which also proved he cared about her very much.

Leng Yan did not care what other people thought. He wanted to give Mu Tianen a sense of security. Previously, because of Yang Qian'er, he found that he had neglected some of Mu Tianen's feelings.

That was why he wanted to introduce her to everyone at the banquet. In this way, some would not have any other thoughts. He also wanted to extinguish some people's thoughts about her.

After the announcement, Leng Yan brought Mu Tianen back to his family. Leng Yu asked someone to push the cake up.

Leng Yan originally disliked cutting the cake, but when seeing Mu Tianen's surprised and happy expression, he accepted it.

After cutting the cake, Leng Yan gave one to Mu Tianen and asked the servants to distribute the cake.

After eating the cake, everyone chatted together.

"I heard that the Mu family's daughter is Young Master Leng's girlfriend. I wonder what birthday present she gave to Young Master Leng. Everyone is very curious."

This sudden voice sounded very disharmonious, but it also aroused everyone's curiosity and gossip. So many people also echoed it.

Mu Zongwen and Wen Jia were also very curious about what birthday gift their daughter prepared for Leng Yan. She had been very mysterious all day, but when hearing someone ask about it in such a bad tone, they looked annoyed.

Although Leng Yan was curious, his face sank when he heard this. This was a bit harsh. He looked up. With too many people, he could not find who said it for a while.

Mu Tianen did not mind. She turned to look at Leng Yu. The latter nodded slightly, indicating that everything was ready. He raised his hand and pointed to the left.

Mu Tianen said to Leng Yan when seeing the maid bring what she had prepared, "Brother Yan, the secret is here. Wait for me."

After saying that, she ran away, and the chef in front of the table gave up his seat.

Leng Yan raised his foot and followed, and everyone followed curiously.

Mu Tianen put on her apron and waited for the water in the pot to boil before skillfully pouring the noodles down.

Leng Yan immediately understood that Mu Tianen was making him birthday noodles. Judging from her skilled move, she should have practiced it many times. His heart swayed with a smile in his eyes.

The Mu family was both gratified and envious. They had never eaten Mu Tianen's noodles. She treated Leng Yan well.

As for the people following them, they all looked disdained on their faces. This was especially so for the young ladies, who had never done any housework. They even secretly treated it as a joke and felt that Mu Tianen was disgraceful.

Wen Anqi looked at Mu Tianen with eyes full of motherly love, "Tianen is so good, I am really glad she is my daughter-in-law."

Leng Ji smiled, "Madam, are you so sure?"

Wen Anqi immediately turned to glare at her husband, "Why not? If Tianen is not my daughter-in-law, no one could be."

Leng Ji immediately gave in and said, "Yes, that's for sure. If Ah Yan dares to let Tianen down, I won't let him get away."

Wen Anqi asked indifferently, "Can you still beat your son?"

When asked, Leng Ji did not dare to guarantee it. He guiltily turned his gaze away.

Mu Tianen ignored the others while staying focused. In her mind, she remembered the steps Fourth Senior Brother had taught her. Although she had done it several times, she was still afraid of missing some steps and making the noodles not delicious. This was her heart and she could not lose it.

Ten minutes later, Mu Tianen finished cooking the noodles and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"For me?" Leng Yan asked though he already knew the answer, with obvious joy in his tone.

Mu Tianen looked up and found that Leng Yan had walked to her side. She filled the bowl with noodles and picked it up. Her sweet smile was filled with nervousness, "Brother Yan, happy birthday. This is my gift. Please have a try."

With hot soup steaming and the white mist floating in their eyes, the scene was beautiful.

Leng Yan took his chopsticks, picked them up, and tasted them. He had eaten dishes made by Mu Tianen before, and her cooking skills were good. The noodles were cooked perfectly, neither soft nor hard, with delicious soup. It should have been boiled as soon as she arrived.

He reached out to take the bowl and looked into her expectant eyes with a smile, "It's very delicious. I like your birthday present very much."

Those daughters originally despised and disdained Mu Tianen, But when seeing that Leng Yan liked it, they felt sour in their hearts, and the feeling quickly drowned them like volcanic eruptions.

Just like that, Leng Yan stood in front of Mu Tianen and ate the noodles bit by bit. He even drank the soup. Mu Tianen looked at him sweetly. His actions made her feel very pleased.

All the guests were forced to watch this romantic scene.

The eyes of those young ladies were on the verge of burning with anger, and even delicate makeup couldn't hide their jealousy and ferociousness.

Xie Wanwan, who had been watching from the side for a long time, couldn't help but say, "As the head of the Four Great Families, the Mu family has always been a well-known figure in all fields. Presumably, Miss Mu Tianen also has some outstanding qualities."

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd parted to make way for Xie Wanwan.

Mu Tianen also saw who said it.

That person looked gorgeous, with eyes like a rainbow, exuding a seductive aura. She had a perfect figure, protruding front and back.

Mu Tianen had to admit that she was a little envious of her shape.

However, she did not understand what she was trying to express, "This lady, what are you trying to say?"

Xie Wanwan watched Leng Yan put down the bowl out of the corner of her eye, like a protector behind Mu Tianen. Her entire heart felt like being tormented in an oil pot, but it also felt like being pricked by countless needles. It was uncomfortable.

She would not give up so easily. She looked back at Mu Tianen and said with a strong provocation, "Mu Tianen, I want to challenge you. I heard that you play the jade flute very well. I can too. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

With such obvious hostility, Mu Tianen immediately understood. She also noticed who Xie Wanwan was looking at. It was another woman who liked her Brother Yan. She looked back at Leng Yan with sad eyes. When turning to look at Xie Wanwan, she smiled, "This lady, what should I call you?"

Mu Tianyu asked before Xie Wanwan could say anything, "Xie Wanwan, is it interesting?"

Mu Tianyu was originally very bored and sat at the side. When seeing that something was wrong, she immediately came forward. She was faster than her parents. As expected, she was a protective sister.

When seeing that it was Mu Tianyu, Xie Wanwan looked timid in her eyes. In this circle of socialites, everyone was afraid of facing her. She was different from others. She was not like them who usually drank afternoon tea, went shopping, learned painting, and so on.

As a lawyer, Mu Tianyu looked oppressed. She did not need to say anything to shock others.

However, Xie Wanwan faced her bravely, "Mu Tianyu, this has nothing to do with you. Mu Tianen is already an adult, not a child. Do you still want to help her deal with this? This is very ugly."

Mu Tianyu ignored Xie Wanwan's provocation. Instead, she turned to look at her sister and asked her intentions.

She could guess why Xie Wanwan was so difficult to deal with. It was not worth it to make such an ugly scene for a man.

Mu Tianen said as she walked over to her sister, "Sis, I can solve it myself."

She asked, tilting her head, "Miss Xie, what do you think you can get if you win against me?"

Xie Wanwan choked, looking embarrassed on her face, "Mu Tianen, are you afraid?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's meaningless. So what if you win? So what if you lose? I can't think of any meaning," Mu Tianen could tell that she was looking for an opportunity to humiliate her.

She didn't have the patience to deal with it. It was still the same sentence. It was meaningless. It just provided more jokes for everyone to see.

Xie Wanwan knew that if she missed this chance, there would be no more. Even if the situation was ugly, she had to continue, "Mu Tianen, you are a coward. The Mu family raises no coward. Do you want to be the first one?"

Her heart was on a tightrope, and her parents were already staring at her, with their eyes on the verge of burning.

Even Leng Yan looked dark, with cold eyes. Her entire body was stiff at this moment, with all the strength in her body seeming to have been sucked out. The only strength she had was to clench her hands and support herself.

Mu Tianen didn't allow others to gossip about her family, "The Mu family raises no coward. But I'm not someone who does whatever others ask. I don't want to do it, so I won't accept your challenge. I also won't allow anyone to destroy Brother Yan's birthday party."

Leng Yan had already run out of patience. He reached out and grabbed Mu Tianen's shoulder, with a sharp gaze, as he lowered his voice, "Miss Xie, if you don't like it, I'll get someone to come and help you."

The fact that he did not chase Xie Wanwan out on the spot was already out of respect for the Xie family.

If she continued to pester him, he would not hold it anymore.

Leng Yu saw that he was on the verge of anger and immediately went forward to ease the atmosphere, "Let the band start playing. Everyone, cheer up. Don't just stand there. Eat and play."

Xie Wanwan's parents also took the opportunity to pull her away. She was unwilling but could not stand the strength of her parents. She stared at Mu Tianen unwillingly and looked at Leng Yan with sad eyes, trying to change Leng Yan's cold heart.

Unfortunately, Leng Yan did not spare her a second glance.

As soon as the Xie Family left, the surrounding people immediately started gossiping.

"This Xie family's young miss is shameful."

"Of course. But it's no wonder. She has liked Young Master Leng for at least seven or eight years. He's almost become an obsession for her. It would be strange if she wasn't crazy."

"You know? Tell me quickly."

"I heard it from others. As a kid, she met Leng Yan once when she was about ten or so. She fell in love at first sight and swore to be his bride. Now that Young Master Leng has taken a fancy to Mu family's youngest daughter, she must be mad."

"I also heard that she received a very strict education since she was a child, which ordinary people can't stand. She did so to marry the Leng Clan."

"I also heard that she often scolds women who have thoughts about Leng Yan. Now that she has provoked the Mu family's youngest daughter, she is in trouble."

"Exactly. I used to see her proudly showing off that she was going to marry the Leng Clan, but now she is losing face."

"The Leng Clan, which daughter doesn't want to marry?"

"No matter how you think, other than the daughters of the four great families, not many daughters of Nanyang City are qualified."

"It's useless to say anything. Judging from Young Master Leng's attitude toward Mu Tianen, they won't have a chance."
