Versatile Mage: The Zhou Family's Young Master Forcefully Marries Mu Ningxue

Chapter 5: First meeting Mu Zhuoyun, cousin Zhou Youhong

As Zhou Haoyu walked into the meeting room, Zhou Hong stopped talking with Mu Zhuoyun and waved to Zhou Haoyu.

"Xiao Yu, this is the head of the Mu family." Zhou Hong took the initiative to introduce him, giving Mu Zhuoyun enough face.

"I've met Mr. Zhou. I've heard that he's incredibly talented. Now that I see him, I realize he's truly elegant and a truly talented person."

Mu Zhuoyun immediately stood up from his seat and said to Zhou Haoyu with a smile.

"Uncle Mu, you are too polite. I just went to the Magic Association to awaken a new department not long ago. I am sorry for neglecting you, Uncle Mu."

There was no trace of arrogance on Zhou Haoyu's face, but he spoke very humbly.

In fact, what Zhou Haoyu despised most were those fools who became arrogant and domineering just because they had a little power.

Since he was going to be engaged to Mu Ningxue, Mu Zhuoyun would be his future father-in-law. Even if the entire Mu family eventually joined the Zhou family, Zhou Haoyu would not look down on Mu Zhuoyun.

Looking at the friendly Zhou Haoyu, Mu Zhuoyun felt as if he was bathed in spring breeze.

He was indeed a big shot in Bo City, but he was nothing in the imperial capital. Even the Mu family only treated him as a high-ranking servant.

After just one or two words, Mu Zhuoyun developed a favorable impression of Zhou Haoyu, and even felt more and more that the marriage was the right choice.

Mu Zhuoyun suddenly reacted and looked at Zhou Haoyu in disbelief and said, "You broke through to the intermediate level?"

Mu Ningxue also gave him a surprised look. She knew that Zhou Haoyu was very talented, and with the resources poured into it by the Zhou family, he would definitely improve quickly.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Haoyu broke through to the intermediate level in just two years.

She awakened earlier than Zhou Haoyu, but now she is only at the third level of the beginner level.

"I made a breakthrough some time ago." Zhou Haoyu nodded.

Mu Zhuoyun was so shocked that he was speechless. This talent was completely beyond his expectations.

"Mu Ningxue, I haven't seen you for a long time. You've become even more beautiful." Zhou Haoyu said with a smile as he sat down next to Mu Ningxue.

Zhou Haoyu originally wanted to call Mu Ningxue by her name, but since she was already his fiancée, calling her something a little more intimate would put Mu Zhuoyun at ease.

"Thank you." Mu Ningxue didn't seem offended by this and simply replied calmly.

"You two know each other? Why haven't I heard Ning Xue mention you before?"

Mu Zhuoyun was delighted. Since the two knew each other, it would be easier to talk about it.

"Uncle Mu, we have met several times before and studied together in the library." Zhou Haoyu took the initiative to say.

Hearing this, Mu Ningxue rolled her eyes, a rare occurrence.

When they met by chance in the library, this guy always stared at the top of her head, which made her mistakenly think that there was something on his head.

But there is nothing!

Seeing his daughter's reaction, Mu Zhuoyun became more and more satisfied with Zhou Haoyu.

Ever since her magic awakened, Mu Ningxue had been cold to everyone else, and Zhou Haoyu was one of the few people who could cause her emotions to fluctuate.

"Cough cough~"

"Brother Zhuo Yun, since Xiao Yu is here, let's speak frankly."

Zhou Hong coughed twice and immediately brought the matter back to the topic.

"Of course." Mu Zhuoyun nodded, and after looking at Zhou Haoyu again, he said, "Of course I agree to this marriage, but Ning Xue is still underage, so can we wait a little longer?"

"Haha, Brother Zhuo Yun, you're joking. This is just an engagement. The wedding can be held after they both come of age." Zhou Hong said with a smile.

Mu Zhuoyun was very excited. If this engagement went through, Mu Ningxue would definitely be able to obtain more resources in the future.

"Ningxue, what do you think?" Mu Zhuoyun looked at Mu Ningxue and asked.

"I have no objection," Mu Ningxue said coldly. She knew this was the best option, beneficial to both her and the Mu family.

"Then choose a suitable day soon."

A trace of helplessness flashed through Mu Zhuoyun's heart. He did feel somewhat indebted to Mu Ningxue by doing this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Zhou Haoyu stared straight at the top of Mu Ningxue's head. The glittering treasure chest was still unopened.

It seems that it can only be started after the actual engagement.

Zhou Hong noticed his strangeness and immediately whispered, "I'm warning you, don't think I don't know what's going on in your mind. Remember to be restrained after you get engaged, and don't let anything go wrong."

"Uh."

Zhou Haoyu was suddenly speechless. All he wanted was to open the treasure chest.

Thinking of this, Zhou Haoyu glanced at Mu Ningxue's proud figure and slender body.

Ahem, actually it’s not bad to train this ice beauty.

After some discussion between Zhou Hong and Mu Zhuoyun, they finally decided to set the engagement date for a week later.

In the next few days, under the special arrangement of Zhou Hong and Mu Zhuoyun, Zhou Haoyu could only take Mu Ningxue to visit some famous scenic spots and historical sites.

In fact, Zhou Haoyu had no interest in such boring things, and he didn't think that doing so would win Mu Ningxue's heart.

But since his father and future father-in-law arranged it, Zhou Haoyu had no choice but to do it.

Zhou Haoyu planned to take Mu Ningxue to visit the Magic City after the engagement was completed.

"Haoyu, you're going to marry your beautiful girl in two days. Congratulations."

Zhou Haoyu had just returned to the clan and was about to go back to his room when a young man slightly older than him stopped him.

Zhou Haoyu glanced at him and said in a cold tone, "Get out of the way!"

This young man is Zhou Haoyu’s cousin Zhou Youhong, the son of his third uncle. In the original novel, he almost got the girl.

"Don't be so cold, I'm your cousin after all."

The smile on Zhou Youhong's face disappeared, and jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that he was reluctant to move aside, Zhou Haoyu kicked him out without saying a word.

This kick was combined with mental power, which was simply not something Zhou Youhong, a novice mage, could resist. He was kicked nearly five or six meters away.

Zhou Youhong was in a daze the whole time. He never thought that Zhou Haoyu would dare to hit him until he felt a piercing pain from his abdomen, and then he reacted.

Zhou Youhong gritted his teeth, supported himself on the ground with one hand, and barely stood up, wailing, "Zhou Haoyu! Are you crazy?"

"This is just a small lesson. If I find out you have any thoughts about my fiancée next time, I promise you will regret coming into this world."

When he said this, Zhou Haoyu's eyes became noticeably colder.

When Mu Ningxue came to Zhou's house two days ago, Zhou Haoyu accidentally discovered that Zhou Youhong was chatting up Mu Ningxue.

Originally, Zhou Haoyu chose to get engaged to Mu Ningxue just for the sake of unboxing.

But she is his fiancée after all, how can others get involved with her!

"I'm going to tell grandpa!" Zhou Youhong threatened.

"You can complain as much as you want, but do you think Grandpa will stand up for you?" Zhou Haoyu stopped and glanced at him. "You're still just a beginner mage. What a loser."

"You!" Zhou Youhong was so angry that his face turned as red as pig liver.

The truth is the sharpest knife!
