Feeling the piercing gaze from behind, Du Hengyan slightly furrowed his brows, his sharp eyes turning towards her like a hawk.
At the moment when Chi Mu Jiu's gaze met Du Hengyan's, her heart skipped a beat. She instinctively lowered her head, like a child caught doing something wrong, desperately avoiding his eyes and trying not to make contact.
Anxiety gnawed at her. If Du Hengyan found out that she had secretly called him a cat, the consequences would be unimaginable; there would certainly be no good outcome.
"Alright, I got it. Just send everything over; you know the address," Du Hengyan said into the phone.
"And it seems your Ye family is quite interested in me," he added, his tone clearly laced with warning.
"Try not to call me unless it's something important."
His words were concise and cold, leaving no room for rebuttal.
On the other end of the line, Ye Qi felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this. It was evident that this living hell king was angry.
Ye Qi knew Du Hengyan's methods all too well; just the thought of the possible consequences sent shivers down his spine. He silently lamented, fully aware that he could not let the Ye family's long efforts to establish a cooperative relationship with their boss go to waste because of this incident.
"Is the call over?"
"Is the call over?"
The two spoke almost simultaneously.
"Yes."
"Yes."
Their identical responses caused a brief pause in the atmosphere.
"Who is it?"
"Who?"
"You go first."
"You say."
Once again, the conversation was oddly consistent, creating an atmosphere that felt both awkward and tense.
"Who are you calling that you have to hide it from me? Is it your former employer's sister? If your relationship is so good, why didn’t she renew your contract to keep you around?" Chi Mu Jiu fixed her gaze on him, her tone sharp with questioning.
Du Heng Yan found her expression, reminiscent of someone catching a partner in infidelity, somewhat amusing. "Is this all you think about every day?"
"Just answer me!" Chi Mu Jiu insisted, arms crossed defiantly, demanding an answer.
"No," Du Heng Yan replied curtly.
"Then why were you so far away taking a call? Could it be…?!" A bold thought flashed through Chi Mu Jiu's mind, and her eyes widened as she looked at him. "You?! You’re not bisexual, are you?!!"
Du Heng Yan disdainfully curled his lips. "You’re a rich young lady; how can you say something so unappealing?"
"That’s good, that’s good. Even if you’re handsome, I can’t accept that," Chi Mu Jiu patted her chest, reassuring herself and completely ignoring Du Heng Yan's comment about her being a wealthy heiress.
"I only want to have you, darling." Du Heng Yan couldn't help but step forward, wanting to capture those lips that had captivated him.
However, Chi Mu Jiu turned her head away, resolutely rejecting his advance.
"What’s wrong?" Du Heng Yan frowned slightly, not surprised by her refusal.
"Don’t think you can just gloss over this topic with sweet talk. Who called you?" Chi Mu Jiu stared intently at him, her gaze filled with suspicion and curiosity.
In a foreign land, friends gathered, and Du Hengyan responded somewhat perfunctorily.
"What about you? Are you close with Ye Jue?" he countered, a hint of barely perceptible jealousy lacing his tone.
"Are you jealous?" Chi Mu Jiu's lips curled into a smirk, a touch of pride evident in her expression.
"Aren't you jealous too?" Du Hengyan raised an eyebrow, a glint of cunning flashing in his deep-set eyes.
"Hmph."
Du Hengyan arched an eyebrow; this woman truly had no sense of reason. He wasn't even angry, yet she was the one throwing a tantrum.
However, he thought he had just heard someone mention having a cat.
He moved closer again, reaching out to pinch her chin and lift it slightly, forcing her to meet his gaze.
"No," Chi Mu Jiu replied defensively, her eyes darting away.
How could he hear what she had just said from so far away?
"Have you been misbehaving lately because I haven't dealt with you properly?" Du Hengyan's voice was low and dangerous. As soon as he finished speaking, he effortlessly lifted her off the chair and threw her over his shoulder.
Chi Mu Jiu was startled by the sudden movement.
"Hey?! Du Hengyan!! What are you doing?"
