He reached out and pushed open the slightly ajar door, glancing at the figure standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. The slender silhouette looked lonely in the brilliant glow of the sunset, evoking a sense of pity that deepened the darkness in his eyes.
Xia Yu followed his gaze, and Nie Fengling beside him also looked over. Three tall figures stood at the doorway, each lost in thought.
"Mu, that's Jiang Chengmu's wife," Nie Fengling couldn't help but remind him.
In their circle, it was common to play with women, but he didn't expect Mu Tongzi to be interested in a married woman, and quite interested at that. With his status, pursuing someone of her standing would surely bring trouble.
"I know," Mu Tongzi replied lightly, retracting his gaze. He slipped his hand into his pocket and walked into the office, his handsome face still calm as water.
Seeing that he wouldn't listen, Nie Fengling didn't press further. He believed that even without his warning, Mu Tongzi understood that provoking a powerful family like the Jiang family over a woman was not worth the risk.
Mu Tongzi slowly walked up to Green Qi and said: "Let's go eat!"
Green Qi turned around without responding verbally and simply followed behind him.
Watching them leave one after another, Nie Fengling was momentarily stunned. Having worked alongside Mu Tongzi for several years, he couldn't claim to fully understand his character, but he had at least grasped some of his habits. Seeing him so persistently fixated on this woman suggested that he was indeed taken with her.
The car stopped outside a high-end Chinese restaurant. Green Qi took a deep breath, finally able to escape the suffocating atmosphere of the Carriage. As soon as the car came to a halt, she pushed open the door and quickly entered the lobby.
Unbuckling his seatbelt, Nie Fengling glanced at the man in the back seat who was resting with his eyes closed. He spoke seriously: "Mu, you know how powerful the Jiang family is; I don't need to remind you. It's better to have less contact with Mrs. Jiang since there are many eyes around. It could lead to trouble."
"Is that so? Just how powerful is the Jiang family? I’d like to find out; it’s a good opportunity to probe their depths and make some adjustments."
"The leadership team of City A needs to be properly reorganized, but we cannot act hastily. The Jiang family has their current status for a reason; there must be strong support behind them. We shouldn't stir up trouble before we even take action!"
Although the Mu Family is powerful, their roots are not in this area. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. The Mu Group may be thriving now, but if it comes to a confrontation with the Jiang family, there won't be much benefit to gain.
As the President of the Mu Group, he understands the pros and cons of such mutually destructive actions.
"I know. I won't let her be caught in the middle. I have made up my mind about her!"
"You can't really have feelings for her, can you?" The speculation was confirmed, and Nie Fengling's eyes widened in shock as if he had heard something horrifying.
"She has always been mine; it's not about having feelings."
Taking a deep breath, Nie Fengling opened his mouth in surprise, looking at him in disbelief. "You can't possibly have already... can you?"
Mu Tongzi opened his eyes, his expression as calm as ever. To Nie Fengling, this was undoubtedly an acknowledgment. He gasped and turned away, momentarily unsure how to process this news.
If he truly had feelings for her, what would happen when Yue Qingchen returned?
Seizing the opportunity, Xia Yu interjected, "President, next week is the GK Architecture Competition Meeting. I've thought about it carefully and believe she would be more suitable for the position of Design Director, and she's also looking for a job..."
Looking up, Mu Tongzi glanced at Xia Yu and recalled how she had kept her distance from him. He frowned slightly. "She won't agree."
