One sentence was enough to push that woman into the spotlight; she had always been sensitive, so how could Yue Qingchen not have doubts?
"Really?" Raising an eyebrow, Mu Tongzi chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned about having done anything wrong, exuding such confidence and pride that Qi Wenran couldn't help but admire.
"What I'm doing is merely to provoke that ostrich-like woman. I've always been in the active position of the hunter; at this rate, she will never approach me on her own."
"It's not easy for a woman to occupy your thoughts so much. But Yue Qingchen isn't foolish; if you act so obviously, she will definitely have suspicions. Moreover, you've made them stay in the same company—aren't you just asking for trouble?"
Women often engage in fierce battles over a man, and when two women are in the same company, their rivalry can easily escalate into workplace conflicts. The battlefield is limited; would he really allow his woman to fight another to the death?
"Is that so? Didn't you notice that I'm cultivating the future successor of gk? My woman is far smarter than Yue Qingchen; her abilities surpass Yue Qingchen's. I don't mind sacrificing a Yue Qingchen as a stepping stone for her."
"Tsk tsk, is this how you treat the orphan of your savior?" Meeting a man like Mu Tongzi was truly her fate for Yue Qingchen.
Things that are unattainable by fate cannot be achieved no matter how hard one tries; if it doesn't belong to her, it ultimately won't be hers.
"The law doesn't state that the only way to repay kindness is through one's body, does it?" He scoffed lightly, turning his head as if recalling something. He took out his phone and dialed a number, his handsome face becoming serious. "Uncle Hua, do you have time later?"
On the other end of the line came the warm voice of the family doctor. "Is that Tongzi? I have time. Is there something wrong with Old Leader?"
Hua Yuan was the family doctor of the Mu Family and also a family friend for generations. His family had practiced medicine for generations, but when it came to Hua Liunian's generation, he chose to join the military before eventually returning to take over the family business.
"No, it's just that a friend of mine got injured and I want you to take a look at her. If you're home, I'll have Wenran come pick you up."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home."
Qi Wenran glanced at Mu Tongzi from the driver's seat; he was offering up his family doctor, which indicated that this woman held a significant place in his heart.
"Did you tell the old man about you and her?" I really wonder what expression the old man would have when he finds out that his Precious Grandson has fallen for a married woman. When he first learned about it, he was nothing but shocked and incredulous!
Mu Tongzi nodded slightly, squinting as he spoke, "I told him. I need his support."
"The old man didn't object?" Seeing how calm he was, it was clear that he had received the old man's approval. Qi Wenran couldn't help but be surprised by the old man's understanding.
"I haven't married all these years; they've been waiting anxiously. A woman I can personally discuss with him, even if she is married, he can understand. As he said, after years of experience, he understands the definition of love better than I do."
"Tsk tsk, hearing the word love come from your mouth makes me feel like I'm in a dream."
It seems he really has feelings for that woman; otherwise, he wouldn't have come back to talk to the old man.
"Haha..." Mu Tongzi chuckled lightly and turned to look out the window. "First, take me to the Living Center. Later, you can pick up Uncle Hua at my villa here; the key is with the security captain, and he'll give it to you later."
"Okay, got it!" After a pause, he kindly reminded, "You'd better be cautious about Yue Qingchen. She's got a heart as poisonous as they come; her private life abroad hasn't been as simple as you think."
"I know what I'm doing."
Located on the fifth floor of Metai Center, the Living Center is like a garden in the sky, connecting to the rooftop Garden Bar. The entire Living Center combines leisure and entertainment.
The ancient exterior and architectural structure follow a retro style, with classic furniture paired with vintage craftsmanship in the interior space, allowing one to feel nostalgic while also experiencing new trends.
After going upstairs and stating his name, Mu Tongzi was led by a server to the rooftop Garden Bar, where not only could he enjoy the open-air scenery but also take in the night view of the city below.
Before reserving a table, he had already instructed someone to prepare a cake. As soon as he entered, he spotted a figure enjoying the breeze on the terrace, causing his brows to furrow slightly.
He turned his head to glance at Kang Yiming and Yin Xiyin sitting beside him, handing the gift he had prepared at the last minute to Yin Xiyin, smiling lightly as he wished, "Happy Birthday!"
"Thank you, Mu Shao!" Receiving the gift, Yin Xiyin beamed with joy, her eyes squinting happily as she stood up and pulled Green Qi in from the terrace.
After making a ceremonial wish and blowing out the candles, Mu Tongzi pulled the distracted woman beside him to her feet and said with a half-smile, "The rest of the time is for you two to arrange yourselves; we’ll be leaving now!"
Slightly taken aback, Green Qi turned to look at him, "Where are you going?"
"Yeah, Mu Shao, don’t rush off just yet; stay and celebrate with us!" Kang Yiming's gaze fell on their hands intertwined, both surprised and curious.
No wonder he felt something was off between the two earlier at the dining table; it turned out there was indeed something going on!
"We can't just stay here as third wheels, can we?" With a light laugh, Mu Tongzi politely nodded at Yin Xiyin, turning to leave with the woman beside him.
"Hey, Mu Shao..." Just as Kang Yiming wanted to say something more, Yin Xiyin had already covered his mouth with her hand and pushed him down onto the sofa, helplessly rubbing her forehead. "Alright, Kang Yiming, as a man in love, can’t you see their relationship?"
Kang Yiming pushed her hand away, looking incredulous. "But your best friend is married! How could Mu Shao possibly like a married woman? That’s simply unbelievable!" With so many wealthy friends around him, it seemed that only Mu Shao would not lack for women; how could his taste be so unique?
"You have no idea how exceptional Qiqi is. Besides, her marriage with her husband is merely an Agreement, without any feelings involved. They will eventually get divorced. I actually think it's quite good for them to be together."
Although Mu Tongzi's thoughts were hard to decipher and he was a dangerous figure for women, his demeanor and character did not seem like someone who would play with emotions.
"Do you think they can be together? The Mu Family is one of the top families in the capital; if they want to get married, it would be harder than climbing to the sky! You should advise your best friend not to get too deep into this; otherwise, she might get hurt. Forget it; I’ll ask Mu Shao about his attitude later!"
"Okay, I hope Mu Shao can bring happiness to my sister. Let’s eat some cake and then head back!"
"Alright, but before we go back, I want to take you somewhere."
"Where to?" Yin Xiyin turned to look at him. Under the dim yellow light, her delicate face showed a hint of innocent confusion, making Kang Yiming's heart race.
"You'll know when we get there. It's a secret for now."
As they exited the building and reached the entrance, a black sports car stopped in front of them. The driver got out of the car and respectfully handed the keys to Mu Tongzi before turning to leave.
Green Qi glanced at the man beside her, looking puzzled. "Where are we going at this hour?"
"I'm taking you back to where I live. You'll return to City A with me tomorrow," he said calmly, making the decision for her.
Green Qi initially wanted to refuse, but he had already opened the passenger door and pulled her into the car. After fastening her seatbelt, he turned and sat in the driver's seat.
The black sports car smoothly navigated through the night, the bustling cityscape rushing past their view.
"Did you get hurt again?" At a red light, Mu Tongzi stopped the car and turned to look at her, his dark eyes flickering with intensity.
Surprised that he knew about it, Green Qi turned to him with a confused expression. "How did you know?"
She thought she had concealed it well, but it seemed he had noticed after all.
Seeing her like this, Mu Tongzi chuckled lightly, feeling both helpless and a bit pained. "In the future, if someone bullies you, don’t just stand there and let them do it. Remember to fight back."
Green Qi's eyes widened in disbelief. She hadn't expected him to see through everything. Turning her head away, she stubbornly retorted, "But she's your girlfriend and also my boss. How could I dare to fight back?"
Her career had just begun, and after offending her boss, how could she expect to have a good life?
Moreover, Yue Qingchen's actions were also influenced by Mu Tongzi. It was already commendable that she didn't beat her up like other women would; after all, she had become the hated third party!
"When did I ever say she was my girlfriend?" He turned slightly, raising his hand to gently pat her head. "Have you ever seen a couple like me and Yue Qingchen who are so distant despite being together? I only treat her like a sister."
"But she likes you!" No wonder she noticed he was always indifferent towards Yue Qingchen; it turned out that what was said to be important was merely treating her like family.
"Just because she likes me doesn't mean I have to like her back." He smiled lightly, his gaze unconsciously softening. "If she dares to act recklessly again, you don't have to hold back on my account. It's most important that you don't get hurt, understand?"
"Oh, but she's still my boss. If I provoke her, my work will be difficult in the future. It's better to coexist peacefully." Although she knew this was unlikely.
"She's just a Vice President. Even if she wants to kick you out, she still needs Nie Fengling's approval. The termination letter also requires my signature. With me backing you up, what do you have to fear from her?"
"..." This sounded imposing, but she still didn't want to rely on him for everything; that would make her seem too incompetent.
Not wanting to offend him, she smiled and turned away. "If I treat you as my support, Vice President Yue will also see you as support. If conflicts arise later, who will you help?"
"Well, that's a problem. However, for you, I'm willing to be the tyrant that everyone scorns."
"..." Hearing such domineering and certain words was truly disorienting.
