However, Rong Xi's explanation of this situation was remarkably succinct. Some people experience pain when they're jealous, watching something they're within reach slip away. Others, on the other hand, simply want to possess what's theirs, and this understanding of their feelings leads them to make bold moves and decisions.

As Rong Xi had expected, Mu Huaiyu, who was following him, was obviously bolder than before, and would put his arm around her waist from time to time.

That night, Mu Huaiyu met many upper-class people in Puhua City.

When Rong Xi introduced his identity, everyone was very polite. They did not look down on him because of his identity as one might imagine. Instead, they were respectful and friendly towards him.

He knew that all this was because of Jiang Rongxi, otherwise he would not have their respect at all.

Although the relationship between them is not explicitly stated, we are not fools. Seeing how close they are, even if they are not in a romantic relationship, it should be something more than that.

When some people discussed Mu Huaiyu, naturally some people also discussed Chu Yunjing. In the past, he was the one who always stayed by President Jiang's side, and they thought their relationship would develop further. Actually, they overestimated him.

"Boss Jiang, we old guys have a big project and we're wondering if you'd be interested in checking it out."

Rong Xi looked in the direction he pointed, and nodded in agreement after knowing who they were.

"Go over there and eat something. I'll come find you later."

"good."

After Rong Xi left, Mu Huaiyu sat back in his original seat. Just as he expected, Chu Yunjing would be here soon.

"Mr. Mu, this is your first time attending a banquet like this tonight, right? Are you still used to it?"

"I was a little nervous at first, but since Rong Xi was with me, I wasn't nervous anymore."

Chu Yunjing held the wine glass tightly. This man looked simple, but it seemed that he was not as simple as he seemed.

"Mr. Mu, do you think we look quite similar, especially our eyes?"

"We all have two eyes and one mouth, so it's normal to have some similarities."

Mu Huaiyu felt a little familiar with him from the moment he saw him. Naturally, he also understood the meaning of these words. Isn't it just that Rong Xi was looking for him because of him?

He felt uncomfortable, wondering if Rong Xi was really upset for this reason.

"Mr. Mu, don't be angry. I've been with Ms. Jiang for so many years, so I naturally know her preferences. You are indeed good-looking, but if you want to gain any benefits from her, I advise you to stop immediately. Your Lin family can't afford Ms. Jiang's methods, and the Jiang family will never allow you to be together. You are not worthy of Ms. Jiang."

Mu Huaiyu chuckled and took a sip to feel braver.

"I'm not worthy of him? Then are you worthy of him?"

Mu Huaiyu sneered, staring at the person in front of him with sharp eyes, "Secretary Chu, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? If you can't win her heart, you come to trouble me! Let me tell you, Rong Xi likes me and it's me who admits it. As for you, do what you should do as a secretary and don't stare at other people's girlfriends all day long."

His voice was firm and confident, which made the other party startled.

A trace of unwillingness and anger flashed in Chu Yunjing's eyes.

"Hmph, what's so worthy of her love about you? You're just an illegitimate child. Boss Jiang will marry someone of equal strength sooner or later. You're just a toy to her."

"Do you want to know how she likes me?"

Mu Huaiyu pulled the collar of his suit, and the red mark on his neck that Rong Xi had bitten him last night, which had not yet disappeared, appeared so glaringly in front of Chu Yunjing.

"You did it?"

Although Mu Huaiyu felt a little guilty, he couldn't lose his momentum. He straightened his clothes and said with a little pride: "This is a matter between her and me, so you don't need to worry about it. You should just focus on being your secretary."

Chu Yunjing was so angry that he was incoherent. They were so close not long ago, and they even almost had sex. How could President Jiang change in such a short time?

For a moment, the scenes of Rong Xi asking him whether he wanted to be with her played in her mind frame by frame. Was it because she rejected him too harshly that she acted like this? But as long as she waited a little longer, he would agree.

He sat there in a daze until the banquet ended.

He wanted to find an opportunity to make things clear with Rong Xi and tell her that he was willing.

Can……

Rong Xi stood in front of the car, with Mu Huaiyu beside him, who had a mocking smile on his face.

"Secretary Chu, please go back first."

"Mr. Jiang, it's very late. I'll take you home."

Mu Huaiyu refused to do so. He put his right arm around Rong Xi's waist and pulled her into his arms domineeringly.

"Don't bother Secretary Chu about this. I'll go and see my girlfriend off."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to get in the car, but Rong Xi's hand was suddenly grabbed.

"Mr. Jiang, I want to tell you something about what you told me last time in the hotel."

"Let's talk about it at work tomorrow. It's very late now."

"Mr. Jiang, I..."

"Secretary Chu, don't cross the line."

In the dark night, the black Bugatti sped away, leaving Chu Yunjing with an angry face.

He made a phone call, "Hello, help me find someone."

Mu Huaiyu in the car was looking at Rong Xi quietly at the moment. She knew what he was thinking, but Rong Xi didn't like others to hear about her affairs, so she didn't say anything because the driver in front was still there.

The driver took them to Orson Villa, where Rong Xi lived.

Mu Huaiyu didn't expect that she would bring him to her house. He thought they would go to the same hotel again.

"Sit down."

Rong Xi, who wanted to go upstairs to take a shower first, was pulled into someone's arms and kissed without saying a word.

She likes this and responds enthusiastically.

After a while, Rong Xi was pulled by Mu Huaiyu to sit on the sofa. Rong Xi was still touching her, and his hand was already moving towards her abdomen.

"Rong Xi, won't you explain to me?"

"Explain what?"

"You said I was your boyfriend."

"Is there anything wrong with what I said? We kissed and hugged each other, but…"

Seeing the hand reaching for his belt, Mu Huaiyu quickly held her down, fearing that she would really reach in.

"Didn't you say you would support me and give me money?"

"What difference does it make? You're mine anyway."

"That's definitely different. Keeping me means you have no feelings for me and are only interested in my looks, while being in love means you like me and want to marry me."

"What if I'm Dutu? Don't you like me?"

"I like...I like it."

"That's it."

"Who is Secretary Chu to you?"

"Someone I once had a crush on."

"Now."

"Of course I only like you now."

The buttons of Mu Huaiyu's shirt were unbuttoned from the middle, and someone's hand was touching him dishonestly inside. If it were in the past, Mu Huaiyu would have refused and pushed her away and sat on the other side, but now he actually liked her touch.
