Chapter 316: and translation of chapter title

The young couple who had deliberately bumped into Yu Ci, seeing the situation, also stopped their actions and happily watched the excitement.

When they stopped, several surrounding vehicles also slowed down, their gazes falling on Yu Ci, who was surrounded in the middle.

Not far away, someone recognized their identity and instinctively raised their phone.

Gu Xingnan had been watching silently; when his childhood friend was surrounded, his eyelashes trembled slightly and he slowly curled a faint smile.

He didn't hesitate, started the car, and drove straight at the several vehicles besieging Yu Ci.

Lin Ning was shaken by the impact, simply turned the steering wheel, changed target: "Gu Xingnan, you wait for me."

Ye Zeli silently changed direction.

Seeing her good friend bumped, Yu An yi's playful thoughts were completely aroused.

Yu Ci saw the target of the siege instantly switch to his childhood friend, immediately turned and rushed over: "Don't bully Ah Nan, are you guys immature or not?"

Ah Nan's mood still isn't good.

Jiang Liangjin, taking advantage of his turn, gave his car's rear a little bump, then withdrew.

Lin Ning drove the car forward, saying, "You're the immature one!"

Yu An yi didn't dare address the two young masters, just kept her head down and drove to join the line.

Several people were playing wildly; Mu Youyu didn't join in, instead she was happily colliding with a little child.

Jiang Liangjin stopped paying attention to Yu Ci, and was happily playing with her.

When Mu Yichen and Mu Yichi brought Mu Xianqi over, what they saw was this scene.

Mu Xianqi was holding a box of ice cream, completely unlike his earlier appearance.

The other two each held a bag of snacks in one hand.

Mu Youyu was the first to see, immediately pulled over to the side, stopped the car, got up, and called out, "Brother Xianqi!"

Jiang Liangjin stepped forward and tapped Gu Xingnan, signalling him to stop, and she herself slowly stopped the car.

Yu Ci rose angrily, "You guys can't play fair."

Lin Ning also rose, "Exactly, exactly, none of you can play fair."

She turned to face Ye Zeli, her expression softening, "Senior, let's go over."

Ye Zeli: "Okay."

Yu An yi saw the three approaching, and couldn't help but groan inwardly again and again.

Why am I an only child? I want brothers and sisters too!!!

Mu Youyu ran up to the three Mus, lifted her little face, and softly called again, "Brother Xianqi!"

He responded, "Here, are you hungry?"

"Not hungry."

Yu Ci saw Mu Yichen and Mu Yichi, a flicker of surprise in his eyes: "Brother Chen, Brother Chi, you're here too."

When did these two busy people return?

Mu Yichen: "Mm."

Mu Yichi: "It's our Ah Ci, you look darker again."

Mu Yichen: "That's called being healthy."

Yu Ci: "... haha."

Gu Xingnan gently defended: "Don't listen to them, you've already come back fair and square."

Yu Ci immediately looked at the two with full confidence: "Did you hear? I've already come back fair and square!"

Mu Yichi couldn't be bothered to argue with a child; his gaze shifted back to his sister, his tone instantly softening as he asked after her well-being.

Mu Youyu patiently responded.

Jiang Liangjin stood beside her and also replied with a few sentences.

Gu Xingnan and Yu Ci chatted quietly aside; not knowing what they were talking about, Yu Ci suddenly said, "Don't worry! I'll stick to you every day, he can't possibly tie us both up and take us to the Leng Family!"

This remark drew the group's gaze toward them.

Jiang Liangjin said lightly: "If you truly need help, just say so. No one can force you to do something you don't want to."

Gu Xingnan lifted his eyes to meet his gaze, nodded slightly: "Understood, not needed for now."

Father Gu's little tricks can't threaten him.

Mu Yichi heard the gist, raised his brows, his tone casual yet oppressive: "The Gu Family is forcing you into a marriage alliance? Which family is so blind, needing us to step in with just a word?"

Great, this is the perfect moment to show off in front of his sister.

Mu Yichen lightly agreed: "Sure."

As expected, as soon as those words fell, Mu Youyu lifted her eyes to him; that little gaze softened Mu Yichen's heart a bit.

Mu Xianqi then ruffled his sister's hair, looked at Gu Xingnan, and said, "Really annoying, you can move to live at the Mu Family."

That one sentence left several people stunned for a moment.

What status does the Mu Family hold?

What status does Mu Xianqi hold?

If one were to speak up to keep someone, not even Father Gu, let alone the whole Gu Family, would dare to say a single "no".

Gu Xingnan's heart jolted, then he gave a light laugh: "Thanks, Brother Xianqi, but not needed for now."

Yu Ci immediately seized the point, eyes lighting up: "Really? Can we move to the Mu Family? Then I'm going too! I'll go with Ah Nan!"

He really didn't want to go back to his own home, and even less want to see Rong Yu, that old demoness who constantly feigns fragility while crying miserably.

As for the Gu family, it's impossible to go there lately.

He has been to the Mu Family before; it's more comfortable than the villas bought outside, and even has a dedicated game room!

Mu Yichi gave him a sideways glance: "Our family only takes in useful people, not troublemakers."

"I'm not causing trouble!" Yu Ci retorted immediately, "I can help Youbao play games."

"Oh?" Jiang Liangjin's meaning was unclear.

Yu Ci changed his wording: "I can help her with homework..."

Lin Ning turned her face aside, holding back laughter.

If I remember correctly, from elementary to middle school, all this person's homework was written by Gu Xingnan.

"Your homework isn't as good as your little sister's." Mu Yichen remarked lightly, cutting in.

"Did you even laugh when you said that?" Mu Yichi, who also knew a bit about Yu Ci's situation, added.

Yu Ci: "No."

Mu Xianqi let out a low chuckle, looking at his own younger sister, his tone indulgent: "Our treasure, does she look like someone who would do homework?"

Yu Ci: "..."

Mu Youyu tilted her head, blinked her clear eyes, "... I don't look like someone who would do homework, do I?"

She looks just like a well-behaved girl.

Jiang Liangjin replied: "Yes."

Mu Youyu nodded proudly, her voice crisp: "Extra points."

Jiang Liangjin blinked slightly, not expecting her to have a scoring system in mind, he teased her on purpose: "How many points?"

"Full points!"

"Wow."

Lin Ning suddenly clapped, breaking the little atmosphere: "Don't just stand there, there's still a carousel ahead, let's go line up—the VIP lane means we won't have to wait long!"

Yu Anyi immediately echoed: "Let's go, let's go, let's go—I want to film."

Mu Youyu instantly got interested, said something to her brothers, grabbed Jiang Liangjin's hand and ran forward.

Yu Ci hooked an arm around Gu Xingnan's shoulder, followed along with a grin: "Come on, Xinan, the carousel is a girlish thing—just think of it as accompanying Youbao to play."

"Let's go." Gu Xingnan let him hook his arm and walk, his gaze unintentionally falling on the two people ahead with their fingers tightly interlaced, then he glanced away lightly.

That hidden irritation deep in his heart was gradually soothed amid everyone's laughter and chatter.

Mu Yichen, Mu Yichi, and Mu Xianqi walked at the rear, forming a triangle that shielded the group ahead.

Mu Yichi glanced at Mu Xianqi beside him: "You sure know how to curry favor."

This person used to steal his snacks and vie for his sister's attention when they were kids, and now he's still trying to steal.

Mu Xianqi retorted: "At least it's better than some people who just trail behind, staring blankly, doing shady things."

As an older brother, he actually didn't mind the earlier incident much.

"You're really hateful, I'm going to tell Youbao." Mu Yichi said menacingly.

This matter must not let the sister know, or she'd think he's a petty older brother.

Mu Xianqi wasn't afraid of him: "I'm actually scared, I'm going to tell Youbao~"

"You——"

Mu Yichen coldly cut in: "What's the fuss? Youbao's ahead."

The two simultaneously shut their mouths, yet their gazes unconsciously both fell on that figure, their eyes full of undisguised indulgence.
