She raised an eyebrow and asked, “Mu Tongzi?”
In this circle, very few women would call out that name with both surname and given name. A flash of surprise crossed Xia Yu's eyes. He nodded, “Yes, please follow us down the mountain!”
“Sorry, I don’t know you, President. I still need to wait for a friend, so I won’t delay you!”
The weather had turned bad. Although it was good to have company going down the mountain, they had only met once and didn’t really know each other. How could she rashly follow them down? Besides, Su Jimo hadn’t come down yet; she wouldn’t abandon a friend like that.
Mu Tongzi was a dangerous man. Although she was interested, it was better not to provoke him.
So many women wanted to curry favor with President, yet she claimed not to know him.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and it grew completely dark. If they didn’t leave soon, it would really be too late. After a pause, Xia Yu spoke up: “Our President said he knows you from that night at Yunhu Resort.” Having said this much, he didn’t believe she would still claim not to know him.
Xia Yu's words had implications, and Green Qi naturally understood. Regardless of whether that night was a setup or just an accident, it wasn’t good for either of them. The esteemed Mu Corporation President getting involved with a married woman would definitely not sound good if it got out. Moreover, they didn’t even know what kind of conspiracy might be behind the whole thing.
With a loud clap of thunder, the sky opened up and rain began to pour down in large drops.
“Mrs. Jiang, hurry and come with us to avoid the rain! It’s dangerous for you to be here alone,” Xia Yu urged anxiously; if they didn’t leave now, they would be stuck here.
Green Qi frowned slightly. She had already been suspicious of the man from that night, and now with such heavy rain falling, she hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to follow behind Xia Yu.
They hadn’t walked far when someone nearby whistled, followed by a teasing voice: “Beautiful lady, you finally agreed to come with us! Look at me, I’m soaked through!”
Green Qi glanced sideways and found a pair of peach blossom eyes fixed on her, filled with curiosity.
Seeing him, Green Qi was momentarily taken aback; another handsome man! She smiled and nodded, acknowledging him.
“Tongzi, look, she doesn’t even want to acknowledge us!” Hua Liunian muttered as he walked.
Mu Tongzi shot a warning glance over, “Shut up!” Hua Liunian immediately fell silent.
Although they were good friends, he still feared Mu Tongzi and didn’t dare to speak again.
The four of them walked down the mountain in silence. Although landslides and mudslides were rare here, the rain was getting heavier, and they needed to find a place to take shelter. The wet stone steps were slippery, and Green Qi lost her footing. Just as she was about to fall, a strong hand caught her.
“Hold my hand; I’ll take you down!”
Green Qi looked up at the man who was supporting her. She felt a chill run down her spine and took a deep breath. After a while, she mustered the courage to break the silence: “Thank you! I can walk by myself, and besides, I don’t know Mr. Mu!”
Whether or not he was the man from that night, she wanted to pretend that incident had never happened.
“Wow, a hero saving a beauty!” Hua Liunian, walking behind them, seized the opportunity to tease. He shot a sharp glance their way, then rubbed his nose and chuckled to himself.
“Is that so?” The man released her hand, his deep gaze landing on her forced calm smile.
Looking at her from such close proximity, despite the darkening sky, he could clearly see her expression. Her stubborn and defiant eyes showed no hint of ease, and her breath carried an alluring fragrance—
