Being forcibly pulled by Ye Anxin towards the banquet hall, at the corner, Mu Beiting turned his head back, squinting his eyes at the restroom.

When Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin returned to the banquet hall, everyone had already started preparing for the birthday ceremony.

The banquet hall was tidied up, and the Yan Family’s old man sat in the main seat, with two beautiful women who had just helped him down the stairs standing on either side!

The other ladies, young masters, and misses stood on both sides as well! The rest of the guests also stood on both sides, leaving a path in the middle, with two red cushions placed at the feet directly in front of the Yan Family’s old man.

Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin silently walked to Ling Yueyue’s side, submerged among the myriad of guests!

Seeing her finally back, Ling Yueyue hurriedly asked with concern, "Anxin, what took you so long? If Mu Beiting hadn’t gone with you, I would’ve definitely gone over to find you!"

"It’s nothing, just had a bit of a stomach upset, but it’s fine now!" Ye Anxin shook her head, her gaze unknowingly drifting towards Huo Junmo beside Ling Yueyue!

He was holding Ling Yueyue’s hand, his eyes filled with a deep affection as he gazed at her!

Looking at Huo Junmo and thinking about what Li Lin said earlier, Ye Anxin felt a sharp pain in her heart!

Why? She really doesn’t understand why? Why did Li Lin and Su Yuexin treat her this way? If they’ve already done it, why let her know? How wonderful if she could go a lifetime without knowing!

Observing Ye Anxin’s little movements, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you looking at Mr. Huo? Do you have something you want to say to him?"

Upon hearing that, Ye Anxin was startled, hastily shook her head to deny, "No, no! I’m just looking around!"

Seeing Ye Anxin looking unwell, and knowing that most pregnant women don’t sleep well in the late stages of pregnancy, Ling Yueyue didn’t take it to heart and smiled, "Alright, the ceremony is about to start, stay focused!"

"Okay!" Ye Anxin nodded, trying her best to stay focused, not wanting Mu Beiting and Ling Yueyue to worry about her.

On the other side, seeing the birthday ceremony approach, Guan Nuannuan leaned towards Yan Qinghan’s ear and whispered, "Where’s Chuxia? Did you send anyone to find her? Why hasn’t she come back yet?"

Yan Qinghan smiled and reassured, "I have already sent someone to find her! Children tend to be playful, running around is normal, don’t worry!"

Guan Nuannuan, not at ease, said, "But the ceremony is about to start! It’s all your fault, I told you not to let her play outside and you didn’t listen! If she doesn’t come when it starts, the old man will definitely be angry!"

Yan Qinghan, unconcerned, said, "It’s alright! Anyway, Grandpa gets angry every day; we’re used to it! Chuxia is only three, it’s not a big deal if she doesn’t come!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Nuannuan couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "Not a big deal? Chuxia has been spoiled by you, that’s why she’s so undisciplined!"

Yan Qinghan grinned, not at all feeling guilty for Guan Nuannuan’s words, instead he said proudly, "Children should be pampered! Especially girls, I want to spoil her into a little princess!"

Guan Nuannuan was speechless, unwilling to argue further, she just glared at him!

At this moment, as the birthday ceremony was about to begin, a servant rushed in, stood in front of the Yan Family’s old man, and gasped, "Master, bad news, the great-grandson has been injured!"

"What? What did you say? Repeat it!" Hearing that his precious great-grandson was hurt, the Yan Family’s old man immediately stood up from his chair.

"Just now the great-grandson and the young lady were playing in the garden, and they fought over the swing, then... then the great-grandson got injured! His head is hurt badly and it’s bleeding constantly!" Despite the cold winter, the servant was sweating in fear, the more he spoke, the more sweat poured.

Everyone in the Yan Family knew, the great-grandson was the old man’s darling, never been scolded, let alone hit! Now he’s injured!

He dared not imagine what would come next!

Li Chunhua looked behind her, not seeing her cherished grandson, her face changed abruptly, and she harshly asked, "Which great-grandson are you talking about?"

The servant timidly glanced at Li Chunhua, stuttering, "It’s... it’s the eldest great-grandson!"

"What?" Upon hearing it was her own grandson, Li Chunhua and Yan Minghao’s expressions changed immediately!

"Where’s the great-grandson now? Quick, take me there!" The Yan Family’s old man couldn’t sit still anymore, leaning on his walking cane, he rushed towards the door without needing any support!

The servant hurriedly led the way in front!

As the Yan Family’s old man left, everyone followed suit!

Guan Nuannuan followed behind, watching the anxious demeanor of the Yan Family’s old man, a sense of unease rose inside her, "Qinghan, why do I have this ominous feeling? Could it be that Chuxia hurt the great-grandson?"

Yan Qinghan immediately denied without thinking, "How could that be? That boy is much older than Chuxia? Our little Chuxia is only three, how could she injure him!"

"But... why do I feel so uneasy? Something seems to be about to happen!" Guan Nuannuan tightly held onto Yan Qinghan’s hand, cold sweat continuously seeping from her palm due to her nervousness.

"Don’t worry, I’m here! Even if Chuxia did hurt him, it’s alright! I’ll always support her!" Yan Qinghan reassured her, gently patting her hand.

Seeing the commotion, Ling Yueyue wouldn’t miss the excitement, she was about to follow the crowd but noticed Ye Anxin standing still, head lowered, lost in thought, and couldn’t help nudging her arm, "Anxin, what are you thinking? There’s some excitement, let’s go see!"

"What excitement?" Ye Anxin seemed completely detached from the situation, not understanding what was happening.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue excitedly exclaimed, "What are you thinking about? The servant just said the Yan Family’s great-grandson got injured! Who knows which naughty kid dared to hurt him! Of course we’re going to check it out!"

Ye Anxin shook her head, uninterestedly replied, "I’m not interested, you go ahead!"

Ling Yueyue raised an eyebrow, asking, "You’re really not going?"

Ye Anxin shook her head firmly, "No, I’ll just sit here for a while!"

"Alright! Then I’ll go with Mr. Huo first!" As she spoke, she looked at Mu Beiting, reminding him worriedly, "Keep Anxin company, don’t let anything happen to her! We’ll go ahead!"

"Okay!" Mu Beiting pursed his lips, nodding.

"Anxin, I’ll be right back!" With that, Ling Yueyue waved at Ye Anxin and left!
