Mu Sijie remained silent for a long time, then he silently rubbed the top of her head in comfort.
They soon arrived at the place to view the star sea. To Lu Wanqing's surprise, the star sea was indeed the starry sky, but the stars here were exceptionally beautiful and stunning.
That night, little Mu Lan seemed to know that Mommy was unhappy. He didn't fuss and stayed by Mommy's side obediently without speaking. It was only when they were about to go home that the little fellow tugged Lu Wanqing's hand, looked up at his mother with his head tilted, and said earnestly, "Mommy, you have to be happy~"
Lu Wanqing lowered her eyes to look at little Mu Lan, then smiled. She rubbed his head and nodded with a smile, "Mm, Mommy is not sad." Mommy just missed Mommy's parents and brothers a little bit.

One month later.
The results of the mecha competition were released. All the interstellar citizens who participated in the mecha design competition were eager to log into the Star Net to check the competition results.
Lu Wanqing and little Mu Lan were the same. They had been waiting for this day for a long time. It was a pity that little Mu Lan had to go to school during the day and couldn't log into the Star Net to check the news immediately. So, after waking up in the morning, the little fellow kept reminding Lu Wanqing that the competition results were out and that she must go check them right away. Lu Wanqing naturally agreed.
After sending the little fellow to kindergarten, Lu Wanqing immediately logged into the Star Net and stayed online, waiting for news.
Mu Sijie knew Lu Wanqing was waiting for the results, so he directly logged in and invited Lu Wanqing to the Mu Group's official website's company on the Star Net's company lounge to wait for the results.
However, Lu Wanqing did not expect that when she followed Mu Sijie into the Mu Group's official company on the Star Net, she would run into Lu Yuanyuan. To be precise, Mu Sirui brought Lu Yuanyuan, and they were also preparing to enter the official company.
Mu Sirui and Lu Yuanyuan came in talking and laughing from outside. But as they walked, they suddenly saw Mu Sijie and Lu Wanqing, who were also coming in from outside. The smile on Mu Sirui's face froze instantly.
Lu Yuanyuan was shocked. She looked at Mu Sijie, then at Lu Wanqing, who was standing beside Mu Sijie. Her hands by her side clenched almost immediately. Lu Wanqing was truly a vixen! In such a short time, she had become so close to Brother Sijie!
Lu Yuanyuan hated her to death, but she didn't dare to speak now. She didn't know what to say. In front of Mu Sijie, she was always very nervous.
"B-Big brother." Mu Sirui, however, reacted and after a while, she managed to control her emotions and quickly greeted him.
Mu Sijie looked at Lu Yuanyuan.
Mu Sirui's heart panicked, and she quickly explained, "Big brother, Yuanyuan also participated in this mecha design competition. She's waiting for the results. I saw many people outside, and she was waiting with difficulty, so I let her come to the company to sit and rest for a while."
Mu Sijie was also slightly stunned upon hearing this, and looked at Lu Yuanyuan in surprise. She could actually make mechas?
However, it was only a glance. Mu Sijie nodded, uttered an "Mm," and then shifted his gaze.
With hundreds of billions of people in the galaxy, over a billion people signed up for the Mu Group's mecha competition every year. Whether Lu Yuanyuan could make mechas had nothing to do with him.
"Let's continue," Mu Sijie said to Lu Wanqing after dealing with Mu Sirui.
Lu Wanqing quickly nodded, "Okay."
Mu Sijie and Lu Wanqing continued to walk inside, and he directly took Lu Wanqing to the Mu Group's senior executive building, which was also the most comfortable lounge in the entire company.
Mu Sirui naturally didn't have the authority to take Lu Yuanyuan to the executive lounge. Moreover, she didn't dare to bring outsiders into important areas of the company, as such important places were not to be entered by outsiders. Therefore, she could only take Lu Yuanyuan to the lounge for ordinary employees.
Originally, being able to rest in the Mu Group was already a very good outcome. However, there was no harm without comparison. Lu Yuanyuan personally saw Lu Wanqing being personally escorted into the Mu Group by Mu Sijie, and even directly to the executive lounge to rest. As a result, what about her? She could only go to the most ordinary employee lounge!
She was the daughter of the richest man. No matter where she went, she was showered with adoration. Only the Mu family seemed to make things difficult for her at every turn. The more Lu Yuanyuan thought about it, the more unwilling she became. But after thinking about it, she felt that it was all Lu Wanqing's fault. If it weren't for this woman who suddenly appeared, things would never have turned out this way!
As Lu Yuanyuan thought about it, she even couldn't help but wonder, if Lu Wanqing hadn't suddenly appeared, perhaps she would have already confessed to Brother Sijie, and Brother Sijie would have accepted her confession? If that were the case, then the person being personally welcomed into the company's executive lounge by Brother Sijie now would be her!
"Yuanyuan?" Mu Sirui noticed that Lu Yuanyuan's expression had suddenly turned very ugly, and her heart tensed with worry. She asked with concern.
Lu Yuanyuan quickly came back to her senses upon hearing this. She looked at Mu Sirui, her mind blank for a moment.
Mu Sirui saw that she had regained her senses and her expression was no longer as fierce as before, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yuanyuan, what are you thinking about? You looked so fierce just now~" Mu Sirui said worriedly, and at the same time, she was puzzled. She was very curious about what Yuanyuan was thinking that made her look so unhappy.
"Are you worried about the competition results?" Lu Yuanyuan thought about it and then spoke to herself. She sighed and said, "The competition is very difficult. It's okay if you're not selected. After all, you've never learned it before."
Mu Sirui also knew this. Lu Yuanyuan had never touched a mecha before, let alone built one. In just one month, Lu Yuanyuan wanted to learn how to build a mecha and stand out in the competition, which was really unlikely.
Lu Yuanyuan felt even more uncomfortable upon hearing Mu Sirui's words. Did Mu Sirui genuinely not understand, or was she pretending not to understand? Since she knew that she had never learned before and couldn't win an award, why did she still let herself participate in the competition? Was she deliberately playing with her?
However, thinking this, Lu Yuanyuan didn't dare to say it directly. She didn't want to fall out with Mu Sirui for the time being. She had tried so hard to curry favor with her for so many years to become "good friends" with Mu Sirui. If they fell out now, all her previous efforts would be in vain.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid," Lu Yuanyuan said.
She was truly not afraid. For this competition, the design draft she uploaded was something she had privately paid a high price to buy from another mecha master. She had also had a professional master review the draft. The master said that the mecha design was excellent and that the chance of winning the mecha competition was very high.
Mu Sirui felt that Lu Yuanyuan was putting on a brave face. However, Yuanyuan's personality had always been competitive, and it was normal not to admit defeat until the last moment. She felt she could understand.
