Du Muchen glanced at her with disdain, his eyes full of mockery.

"Don't you know what Mu Qing's purpose is in approaching you?"

She's so old, and she's not stupid. How could she not know about a middle-aged man suddenly being so attentive?

Thinking about this, Du Muchen felt a pang of unease.

At his question, Su Peishan fell silent instantly.

She was naturally aware of Mu Qing's purpose.

She understood this, which is why she wanted to use it to get back the endorsement contract that belonged to Qianmo.

Moreover, according to her understanding, although Mu Qing was known for his womanizing ways and was a womanizer, he was not the kind of man who would force women, after all, he was still keeping the reputation of the Aifu Group in mind.

She never expected that he would drug her; she had truly misjudged him this time.

"You know very well why Mu Qing is approaching you, but you're thinking of taking advantage of him because he's attracted to your beauty. You want to use that to your advantage. Haha, as expected of our great agent Su, no agent can compare to you when it comes to using men."

The mockery left Su Peishan feeling extremely embarrassed and ashamed.

"I am indeed a bad woman who uses men to achieve her goals. Since you know my character, why did you come to help me?"

Du Muchen's already cold face was instantly covered by a layer of gloom.

His thin, sharply defined lips were pressed tightly together. If looks could kill, he would want to rip out this woman's heart and see if it had long since turned black.

When he received Bai Qianmo's call and learned that this arrogant woman had accompanied Mu Qing to the Aifu high-level meeting, he guessed that Mu Qing would definitely not let her leave easily tonight.

He had previously collaborated with the Aifu Group, but the collaboration ended after the contract expired due to internal operational issues within Aifu.

Therefore, Du Muchen and Ai Fu had several contacts with Mu Qing, the person in charge of the Yatai region.

In his mind, Mu Qing was a typical smiling tiger.

On the surface, he appears humble and polite, but in reality, he is cunning and ruthless, a man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

His sudden invitation to Su Peishan to attend a dinner for senior executives at Eve was clearly a trap set for this foolish woman.

She actually agreed to go, and seeing her disheveled state now, he was filled with anger with nowhere to vent it.

"You heartless bastard, I shouldn't have cared whether you live or die."

Su Peishan snorted: "You're right. What kind of relationship do we have? Why do you have to meddle in my business? I think you just want to see me make a fool of myself. Put me down now, I can walk by myself."

Hearing her heartless words, Du Muchen stopped in his tracks.

He held her tightly with both hands.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to strangle me?" Su Peishan felt a sharp pain in her waist and her brows furrowed.

She knew she was being unreasonable, even though deep down she felt safe and secure because of his presence.

But reason told her that it was best for her and him to have no contact from now on. As long as they didn't see each other, she could stop thinking about him.

“Miss Su, what you said hurts Young Master Du's feelings. When he learned you were in danger, he rushed here to rescue you. Do you know how much Young Master Du…”

"Star River!" Du Muchen interrupted his subordinate coldly.

Xinghe stood to the side, gritting his teeth with a helpless expression.

My master had a high fever for three days and had been recuperating in the hospital. After receiving a phone call, he hurriedly decided to be discharged.

The hospital director and attending physician tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen to a word. He pulled out the IV needle, changed his clothes, and left the house.

Unexpectedly, this woman didn't appreciate Du Shao's efforts at all.

Even as an outsider, he couldn't help but feel indignant on Du Shaoming's behalf.

But surprisingly, Du Shao, who is usually eloquent, was speechless when facing this woman.

"You're right, I'm here to see you make a fool of yourself." Du Muchen curled his lips into a mocking smile at Su Peishan.

"Seeing you in such a disheveled state makes me incredibly happy, Sister Su. You're not young anymore. Do you really think you're a young, beautiful, and innocent girl? As an older single woman, you should give up the idea of ​​using your looks to please men. After all, men will always prefer eighteen-year-old girls, especially someone as cunning as Mu Qing. If you try to play mind games with him, you'll only end up becoming his plaything... However, if you enjoy being this old man's plaything, that's a different story."

A sense of humiliation spread through her, and Su Peishan stared coldly at the man who was holding her in his arms.

Many people believe that she got to where she is today mostly because of the benefits brought by her face.

But he knew best how much effort and hardship she had endured in this industry. When others said she used her body to seduce older men to achieve her goals, she would just laugh it off, because only she knew the truth, and the truth was often not what the public was focused on.

But when he said those words, it was as if a sharp knife was slowly cutting away at her flesh.

The intense pain was suffocating.

"You're right. I'm not some innocent young girl. As an older single woman, my beauty is gradually fading. If I don't take advantage of this body while I still have some looks, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to use it later."

After saying that, Su Peishan stared coldly at Du Muchen.

“Someone like me is from a completely different world from you, Mr. Du. So, for your own good, it’s best if you don’t have anything to do with me anymore. Put me down, I can walk by myself.”

Du Muchen remained silent with a gloomy face. He knew she was just saying it out of anger, but damn it, he was still furious.

"Sister Su, do you know what my greatest joy is?"

Su Peishan was taken aback.

They seemed to be having a profound conversation, why did this brat suddenly change the subject?

Du Muchen chuckled as he stared at Su Peishan's stunned expression.

"My greatest pleasure is doing the opposite of what you say. If you tell me to go east, I'll go west. If you tell me not to appear in your world, then I'll be in front of you all the time, preferably even when you're sleeping."

Su Peishan puffed out her cheeks angrily.

"You scoundrel, put me down right now!"

Du Muchen grinned instantly.

"I already told you I like to bother you, and you still want me to put you down? Looks like you want me to keep holding you."

"You...you're talking nonsense. I didn't mean that. I really don't need you to hold me. Put me on the ground right now."

Perhaps because she had been exposed to the cold wind for a while, Su Peishan felt much more awake.

They should be able to leave on their own.

She didn't want to owe this guy a favor.

Du Muchen, however, refused to comply with her wishes, ignoring her feeble struggles, and carried her straight toward the main gate.
