"Jiang Chengmu, you..." It seemed like she had never seen him so serious before. Green Qi was taken aback, suddenly unsure of what to say to refuse him, and could only reply irritably, "Do as you wish, but I find your actions very troubling!"
If she didn't take Jiang Chengmu's confession in the car seriously last time, this time she truly felt he was sincere. The thought that Jiang Chengmu could like her was something she had never considered and dared not think about. Initially, when she gave him a chance, it was with the mindset that even if there was no love between them, they could still live together for a lifetime. But now, knowing their feelings would lead nowhere, how could she give him another chance?
If she took it seriously, the one who would end up hurt wouldn't just be her.
"Wife, why can't you try to believe me just once? Can't I like you?"
"Jiang Chengmu, stop joking! You're only feeling resentful because I put a green hat on you and suggested divorce first. I understand your mindset, but this has nothing to do with love."
"No matter how you think, I won't back down. I will prove to you that I really like you!" Knowing she wouldn't believe him, he could only prove it through action.
Mu Tongzi parked the car outside Shell House in the open parking lot and inadvertently noticed the black sports car parked across from him. The license plate looked familiar; he couldn't help but take a second glance. After confirming it was Jiang Chengmu's car, he leisurely walked over to the passenger seat to unbuckle Yue Qingchen's seatbelt.
As Yue Qingchen got out of the car, her delicate hands wrapped around Mu Tongzi's arm. A strong scent of perfume hit him; he frowned slightly. This unfamiliar and intense fragrance made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
He preferred the scent of that other woman—light and fragrant, free from chemical pollution—which made him want to indulge in it.
It seemed he had grown accustomed to her scent; whenever other women approached him, he would instinctively resist. The strange aroma always made him feel uneasy.
With his eyes slightly lowered, he discreetly removed Yue Qingchen's hand and stepped ahead into the front yard.
The front yard was planted with some flowers and plants, and fresh air greeted him. He took a deep breath and turned to walk into the hall.
Behind her, Yue Qingchen hurriedly followed, struggling to catch up in her seven-inch high heels, finally linking arms with him as they stepped into the club.
The receptionist at the front desk saw him and quickly approached with a polite smile, "Mr. Mu, welcome! This way, please!"
The manager, who had received the news, rushed over. "Mr. Mu, welcome! Please come in; we have reserved a private room for you."
Mu Tongzi nodded slightly and casually asked as he stepped into the elevator, "Is Jiang Dashao also here?"
"Yes, he came with Mrs. Jiang and is currently in the Flounder Private Room."
"I still have a few friends who haven't arrived yet. When they do, have someone take them directly to the private room."
"Understood!"

What should have been a pleasant meal was ruined by an awkward topic, leaving everyone eating without taste.
Just after finishing, Jiang Chengmu ordered a plate of fruit for her. Green Qi symbolically took a piece, and then Mu Tongzi called. She glanced at Jiang Chengmu and hung up.
After a while, a message came in from Mu Tongzi. She opened it to see a simple sentence—only two words: "Come out!"
She was slightly taken aback and pressed delete. Just as she put her phone away, the notification sound rang again. Reluctantly, she opened it once more; it was still the same message but with a few more words: "If you don't come out, then I'll come in."
