Chapter 43

"Chu Wen really didn't do anything to you?"

"You went to a nightclub behind his back, and he's not even angry?"

Xu Sui and Gu Xinyi found it utterly unbelievable that Chu Wen would let Chu Muchao go so easily.

Chu Wen clearly seems like the type who loves wallpapers, okay?! Why is he such a coward?

Chu Muchao was very pleased with himself.

"Yes, you heard me right. I said none of them were as good-looking as my brother, and none of them were as fit as him. Chu Wen immediately started wagging his tail and asking me to touch his abs~"

He's not angry at all!

oh.

No wonder Chu Wen was angry; he was completely smitten.

Xu Sui grinned mischievously: "How does it feel?"

Chu Muchao thought about it carefully for a moment and replied, "So sturdy~ It feels amazing!"

"Tsk tsk, little Chaochao is so lucky."

Hey, she thinks it's pretty good too.

Chu Wen always gave her a very reliable and reassuring feeling. Besides the fact that Chu Wen had been by her side to accompany and protect her since she was a child, it was also Chu Wen's strong and tall physique that gave her a strong sense of security.

Xu Sui sent me a collection of pictures.

"How about we let your brother try it another day?"

Chu Muchao opened the image.

One of the photos shows a woman kneeling on a man's hands, supported by his hands, as they take a selfie facing sideways in front of a mirror.

The photo fully displays the man's full pectoral muscles and strong, muscular arms.

The man's strength and sturdiness contrasted sharply with the woman's slender and delicate figure.

Although she wasn't as slender and thin as the woman in the photo, I don't know if the photo turned out that well.

However, she actually quite likes these photos with poor body shape.

Chu Muchao saved a few of his favorites.

"I'll ask my brother when he gets back, I don't know if he'll be willing."

"Tch, what a repressed guy. Who cares what he says? He's probably willing to do anything."

Chu Muchao recalled last night, his ears turning bright red and his skin burning hot.

Yeah, Chu Wen is a bit of a closet pervert.

*

Over the weekend, Ji Chenze found Chu Muchao.

Chu Muchao looked at the nickname displayed on her phone screen and recalled for a long time before finally matching Ji Chenze's name with the person in her memory.

Leo initially pursued another Chinese classmate, but later, for some reason, he started pursuing her for a while.

But she remembers that she clearly rejected him.

[Hi, Mu Chao, I'm back in China. Want to meet up with some old friends?]

Considering how persistent the other person was, this wasn't an invitation at all, but a notification.

Chu Muchao sent Ji Chenze's photo to the bodyguard Chu Wen had left for her.

He instructed, "If you see this person around me, stop him and don't let him come near me."

One of the bodyguards pointed at the person in the photo and blurted out, "Hey, isn't this...?"

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

Another bodyguard said, "Yes, Miss."

Chu Muchao observed the bodyguard's reaction.

Judging from their reaction, this shouldn't be the first time they've seen Ji Chenze's face.

An idea popped into Chu Muchao's mind.

Could it be Chu Wen?

Chu Wen already knew about Ji Chenze's existence? But she had no recollection of the name "Ji Chenze" at all...

-

Even though he was already accompanied by bodyguards to and from get off work, Chu Muchao still saw Ji Chenze at the company.

During their lunch break, Chu Muchao arranged to order fried chicken delivery with Shi Xiyu.

Taking the elevator down to the sixteenth floor, I saw a man with his back to the corridor, casually pulling someone aside and asking, "Do you know Chu Muchao? She works here, right?"

The other person looked at him like he was crazy: "Who are you?"

Ji Chenze lowered his eyes and smiled shyly: "Let me introduce myself, I am Mu Chao's boyfriend."

The operations department colleagues who were taking the elevator behind him all looked past Ji Chenze and at Chu Muchao, who had just stepped out of the elevator.

Chu Muchao tilted his head, his face full of confusion.

"Me? I don't have a boyfriend."

Ji Chenze turned around, his eyes showing surprise.

"Mu Chao, you're here. I've missed you so much. It's been so long since we last met."

As he spoke, Ji Chenze opened his arms to hug him.

Two bodyguards who followed Chu Muchao out of the elevator came out from behind her, one on each side, and each grabbed one of her arms to stop her.

Without giving the person a chance to speak, the two bodyguards took the opportunity to lead him into the elevator and dragged him away.

Chu Muchao withdrew his gaze, pursed his lips, turned around and walked into the marketing department's office, heading straight for Shi Xiyu's workstation.

"Sis, has our fried chicken delivery arrived yet?"

Just then, Shi Xiyu walked out with her phone in hand, her face still showing lingering curiosity.

Upon seeing Chu Muchao, Shi Xiyu paused for a moment, then smiled gently.

"Yes, I'm here. I was just about to look for you."

Chu Muchao walked to her side and asked in a low voice, "You didn't hear about my scandalous affairs and came here out of curiosity, did you?"

"Ahem." Shi Xiyu admitted honestly, "I heard that someone claiming to be your boyfriend came over, so I was curious to come and see. I figured it was probably impossible."

After all... she had Chu Wen by her side, whose gaze towards her wasn't exactly innocent.

In Shi Xiyu's mind, a drama automatically unfolded: a wealthy family, forceful acquisition, a torturous love story, and a secret crush turning into a real relationship.

-

That evening, Chu Wen returned.

Around 10 o'clock, Chu Muchao finished showering and walked out of the bathroom in her nightgown when she heard a knock on the door.

Chu Muchao went to open the door.

The first thing that catches the eye is the muscular chest of the man wearing loose-fitting V-neck cotton loungewear.

With a slight twitch of my nose, I caught a faint, fresh, and moist scent of grass and trees emanating from the other person, like a forest after the rain.

"Brother is back."

Chu Muchao tilted her head back and smiled sweetly.

Chu Wen hummed in agreement and took a step forward with his long legs.

The tall, dark figure approached, exuding an aura of pressure.

Chu Muchao subconsciously took a step back, but was immediately grabbed by the waist by the other person's strong arm.

"Did you meet anyone today?"

Chu Wen asked in a cold voice.

Chu Muchao looked at him and smiled: "Didn't the bodyguard tell my brother?"

Chu Wen was slightly taken aback: "You don't like me asking you about your affairs?"

Chu Muchao raised his arm and hugged Chu Wen's waist: "I didn't mind, and I didn't ask the bodyguards to hide it from my brother."

Knowing what Chu Wen wanted to hear, Chu Muchao spoke to himself.

“It was a former classmate who came back to China to find me, claiming to be my boyfriend, but I've already chased him away.”

The word "boyfriend" came out of Chu Muchao's mouth.

Chu Wen felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped, and his breath caught in his throat.

"So, is that him?"

"Of course not. He did pursue me before, but I clearly rejected him. We haven't had any contact since then, and I have no impression of him. I don't know what he's up to this time."

Chu Muchao pouted, dissatisfied.

“He said it casually, and everyone in the company thought he was really my boyfriend, which made me very unhappy.”

Chu Muchao's attitude is already very clear.

Chu Wen breathed a sigh of relief, raised his arm from around her waist and wrapped it around her shoulders, pulling her into his embrace.

He used a little force, giving Chu Muchao no room to resist or struggle.

Chu Muchao lay on Chu Wen's chest, inhaling the fresh scent of grass and trees, his peripheral vision falling on the undulating, full pectoral muscles.

They got really close this time.

Hmm, it's really plump and firm.

Five cool fingers slowly climbed up.

Chu Wen seemed to have no reaction, so Chu Muchao became even more audacious, tightening his fingers and squeezing.

Hmm~

Not bad!

"Um……"

Chu Wen held her wrist with his other hand, but did not pull away.

"Chaochao, do you need your brother to help you deal with this person?"

"How should I, brother, resolve this?"

The tone was soft and languid.

The five fingers are nimble and lively, like vines growing on a hill, stretching out to return to the hill.

"like?"

The voice above gradually lowered and became hoarse.

"Make sure he can never appear in front of you again."

I like it.

Chu Muchao said, "My brother's methods are too harsh. I'll handle it myself."

"good."

Chu Wen suddenly loosened his grip on her wrist, wrapped his arms around her waist, and lifted her into the air.

After changing positions several times, I started supporting her buttocks.

"Chaochao, do you know what you're doing?"

"What?"

Chu Muchao wrapped her arms around Chu Wen's neck: "Is that so? Brother, you're holding me too high. I was scared, that's why I'm holding you."

His sharp, cold black eyes were inches away, but they moved down from her eyes and landed on her slightly parted lips.

Chu Muchao lowered his eyes.

Staring at me with such a burning, intense gaze, it felt as if the place being stared at was also burning. I awkwardly stuck out the tip of my tongue, wanting to give it some moisture and coolness.

Suddenly, a large hand pressed down on the back of Chu Wen's head.

At that moment, what had been restrained, hidden, and frozen deep within was finally burned and destroyed.

The calm and composed person is no longer restrained.

Even the ignorant and naive did not dodge.

-

Even though I had already taken a shower, my body felt sticky and damp, as if I had just finished an intense sporting event.

Chu Muchao sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes glazed over.

Chu Wen stood on one side of the bed, straightening his clothes.

A hint of regret flashed in his eyes, but he had no regrets about his impulsiveness and was willing to take responsibility for it.

When he opened his eyes again, his dark eyes were bright and determined, filled with a sense of certainty.

He had been waiting for this day for more than ten years, and finally his wish came true.

Chu Wen took a deep breath, forced himself to remain calm and composed, turned around, and gently stroked Chu Muchao's hair.

"Do you want your brother to carry you to take a bath?"

Chu Mu leaned her cheek against his, nuzzling him affectionately, her voice hoarse and soft.

"No, I'm a little tired and want to sleep."

"Then I..."

Before Chu Wen could finish speaking, Chu Muchao interrupted him, saying, "Bad brother."

Chu Wen's heart softened.

He knelt on one knee by the bed and looked down at Chu Muchao.

"Brother is bad, hit brother."

Chu Muchao couldn't help but laugh: "It's me who feels the pain when I hit you."

Seeing that his daughter was still willing to smile at him, Chu Wen finally felt relieved.

Knowing that Chu Muchao wasn't really angry with him, he felt relieved.

He lifted Chu Muchao up with both arms and carried him in his arms.

"Brother will help you clean it, okay?"

The tone of his voice seemed to leave her no room to refuse.

Chu Muchao lazily leaned on Chu Wen's shoulder, not wanting to say anything.
