Around seven in the evening, Mu Yan and Jiang Jingheng went to the club together. As soon as they entered, the sound of fireworks exploded, making her ears ring. She flinched, her vision blurred, and instinctively wanted to retreat. The man beside her quickly reacted, pulling her into his arms.
Everyone chimed in unison, "Sister-in-law, happy birthday!"
Jiang Jingheng glanced displeased at the teasing crowd when he saw how frightened she was, clearly unhappy that they scared his darling.
Dong Le and the others touched their noses, feeling like they didn't achieve the expected effect.
Mu Yan was only startled because she wasn't mentally prepared, and soon regained her composure. She emerged from Jiang Jingheng's embrace and laughed at them, "Thank you."
She noticed the awkward expressions on everyone's faces and turned to glance at Jiang Jingheng, seeing his stern face hadn't softened yet. She tugged at his sleeve.
She whispered, "You can't show that kind of face to guests."
