"Nothing much, the bathwater is ready, you can go take a shower!" After saying that, she was about to turn and head downstairs when the man behind her suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her toward the bathroom. "Let's shower together!"
"No!" She abruptly stopped in her tracks, looked up at him with a flushed face, biting her lip. "You go first!"
She pried his hands away and hurriedly ran downstairs, not noticing the man's gaze darkening as he watched her flee in panic.
Sitting by the window in the living room with a cup of honey water, she stared blankly outside at the dim streetlights. Her heart felt heavy and unmotivated, as if it were tightly wrapped in a cloth that couldn't breathe.
Her previous life had been carefree; Old Man Gu always provided her with the best of everything. Whatever she wanted, she could always get. Now it was time to repay her father.
The Wind Dust Group was her father's lifelong work, and she couldn't bear to see it fall into the hands of the Jiang family. As his only daughter, it was her responsibility to take on this burden.
Just like Mu Tongzi said, relying on others for help is not as good as depending on oneself. Only by becoming strong can one have the ability to protect what they want to protect.
"Dinglingling..." The vintage phone in the living room rang suddenly, jolting her from her chaotic thoughts. She turned to glance at the ringing phone, stood up, and walked over to answer it.
"Bring me my bathrobe!" came Mu Tongzi's indifferent voice from the other end. It was only then that she realized and quickly hung up before rushing to the wardrobe to grab a bathrobe.
At the bathroom door, she knocked lightly. The person inside responded, and she pushed the door open to enter.
As soon as she stepped inside, a strong figure lunged at her, suddenly gripping her waist and pulling her toward the edge of the bathtub, his half-naked body pressing down on hers—
Instinctively, she lifted her foot and kicked at the man in front of her. He seemed unprepared for her resistance, and her kick landed solidly on his calf!
The man let out a low grunt, tightening his grip around her waist, holding her firmly against his chest. "Can't you just go along with me for once?"
"Mu Zong, I'm sorry, but that's just my personality. If you can't handle it, then go find someone else. Those who know me are aware of my bad temper, so I hope you, Mu Zong, can be magnanimous and not hold it against me!"
"Is that so? Is it that you can't change your nature or that you simply don't want to change for me? There's a big difference between the two!"
Just like how she wouldn't cook for others; if the right person came along, those unwillingnesses would probably vanish.
That's why he felt that her so-called willingness and unwillingness completely depended on the person's status in her heart.
"I won't change for you. If I changed my personality, I would be no different from other women. Then you'd lose interest in me and kick me aside, and wouldn't that mean my dad's company is doomed?" She looked at him mischievously, smiling carefreely, which made Mu Tongzi frown in displeasure.
"Are you so sure that I like your stubborn personality?" Her cleverness and sensitivity caught him off guard; he couldn't deny that her guess was correct.
"Otherwise, what do you like about me? With Mu Zong's reputation, which woman wouldn't want to rush over? Because of my unwillingness, you think I'm different from them. It's precisely because of this that it stirs your desire to conquer women. Don't men just cherish the women they can't have more? Taming a prey that hasn't yet submitted should be your greatest interest."
