Mu Wanzhi's sudden action startled Chen Zhe, but pulling his hand away immediately would hurt Mu Wanzhi's pride.
Mu Wanzhi wasn't a particularly unpleasant person; on the contrary, she could be a great help to him at work. So Chen Zhe didn't want to offend her, but he also resisted developing that kind of relationship.
He didn't dislike Mu Wanzhi for being old or ugly. On the contrary, Mu Wanzhi was a very charming mature woman. Her alluring figure, especially her full hips, was enough to attract the attention of many men.
He was thinking of Xie Yuhan, who had previously been upset because of the many women around him, and he had promised her that he wouldn't mess around.
Seeing Chen Zhe's conflicted expression, Mu Wanzhi withdrew her hand in disappointment.
She looked slightly embarrassed and gently tucked a strand of her long hair behind her ear.
Her palm slightly covered the blush that had risen from her emotions and the alcohol.
"I'm sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Mu Wanzhi hurriedly got up, wanting to escape this awkward situation immediately. It was the first time in her life that she had asked a man for his affections, but she was silently rejected. She used to be so proud, but now she had completely lost her confidence.
Because she stood up too abruptly, she bumped into a wine glass on the table, and the unfinished red wine splashed onto her off-white business skirt. The white and red splattered, leaving a very noticeable stain.
"oops!"
Mu Wanzhi couldn't help but let out a cry, then grabbed a tissue from the side and quickly wiped the wine stains off her skirt. But in her haste, she made another mistake. She touched the zipper on her hip and pulled it down with a whoosh, causing her off-white business skirt to fall to the ground.
The sheer gray stockings obviously couldn't hide what was underneath, and Chen Zhe, standing opposite her, could see everything clearly.
The incident happened so suddenly that Chen Zhe forgot to close his eyes.
After Mu Wanzhi discovered that Chen Zhe was peeking, she let out another "Ah!" and squatted down, hugging her knees with her hands.
"Don't look!! Get out!"
Women are amazing creatures. One second they might give themselves away, but the next they can't accept having their bodies exposed to others.
Chen Zhe did not take advantage of her.
He immediately turned around and went out the door, closing it behind him.
He suddenly realized something while standing at the door.
"Wait a minute! This is my room!!"
He shook his head; "Sigh, never mind, that's not the point."
Two minutes passed.
Chen Zhe heard Mu Wanzhi knocking on the door from the inside, and she gently opened the door a crack.
She said softly and awkwardly, "Could you please go to my room and get me a change of clothes?"
"Huh? Why don't you just wear this back and change?"
Chen Zhe felt that their rooms weren't far apart, so there was nothing wrong with wearing this dress back to change.
"I don't want to! It's all sticky and uncomfortable, I don't like wearing these. Hurry up and get them for me!"
She handed over the room key without hesitation.
Chen Zhe did not refuse; he took the room key and went to Mu Wanzhi's room.
They found her box and opened it.
He was a little dumbfounded when he opened it.
Inside, there were many colorful sets of women's underwear, and they were quite advanced and daring.
A man's hands move faster than his brain.
Chen Zhe pinched a strip out with his fingers, and the hollowed-out pattern made him swallow hard.
"Holy crap, I didn't expect President Mu to be so fashionable..."
"Ahhhhh!!!! What are you doing, you pervert?"
Mu Wanzhi felt increasingly uneasy as she thought about it. She suddenly remembered the underwear she had put in the box. She absolutely couldn't let Chen Zhe see those things. She hurriedly put on a bathrobe and rushed to her room.
When she opened the door, she saw Chen Zhe clutching her underwear in his hand. Overwhelmed by shame, she rushed over in a panic, snatched her clothes back, and glared angrily at Chen Zhe.
Chen Zhe looked a little embarrassed after being caught, and he tried to rationalize his behavior.
"I was looking for your clothes just now, and accidentally..."
"Get out of here!"
Mu Wanzhi pointed to the doorway.
"good!"
Chen Zhe was also eager to leave. Although he had seen many big scenes, this kind of thing still made him feel embarrassed.
He returned to his room and took a deep breath.
His fingers suddenly moved uncontrollably towards his nose, and he was startled when he realized what was happening.
"I'm not a pervert!"
He snorted, stood up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. Actually, his hands weren't dirty; it was his heart that was dirty.
I thought this matter was over and done with.
Just as Chen Zhe was about to lie down, Mu Wanzhi knocked on the door again.
Chen Zhe didn't open the door immediately, worried that Mu Wanzhi would come and cause him trouble.
The wooden bowl outside the door called out anxiously, "Chen Zhe, come out quickly, Zihao is in trouble."
I heard that Tang Zihao was in trouble.
Chen Zhe immediately opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Mu Wanzhi with an anxious expression.
“My bodyguard just called me and said that Zihao is squatting by the roadside crying. No matter how we try to persuade him, it’s no use. He won’t come back no matter how much we call him. Chen Zhe, can you come with me?”
Chen Zhe nodded; "Wait a minute, let me change my clothes!"
"good!"
...
In a small alley in the ancient city, a drunken Tang Zihao squatted on the ground, his shoulders twitching incessantly.
"Damn it, why do they all lie to me?! I clearly like her a lot!! I've clearly spent money on her, why is she still lying to me?"
The bodyguard next to him stepped forward and advised, "Young Master, let's go back."
Tang Zihao pushed his hand away.
"Leave me alone!! I'm not going back."
"Madam will worry, young master. Let's not be willful, okay?"
The bodyguard's words only made Tang Zihao more agitated.
"Let her worry. It's because she's so controlling that I feel like an idiot. All my friends at my age are thriving in relationships. They've had one girlfriend after another. And me? I confessed to someone and they didn't accept me. I finally found a relationship in college, only to be cheated on. Now I'm even being scammed at a restaurant. I'm not upset about being cheated out of money, but she can't just cheat me out of money. That makes me feel like a complete failure. Why am I like this? Why can't I be as successful in relationships as everyone else?"
"This... young master, I don't understand, but let's go back first..."
"I'm not going back!! My mom is the reason I'm like this, I don't want to see her again."
Just as Tang Zihao said this, Chen Zhe arrived right after Mu Wanzhi.
Being hated by her own son like this, Mu Wanzhi felt as if her heart was being squeezed by a giant hand. She clenched her fists tightly, feeling both distressed and angry.
"Tang Zihao!!"
She walked quickly towards Tang Zihao. Upon seeing his mother, Tang Zihao was a little scared and couldn't help but shrink back.
Mu Wan immediately questioned, "Say what you just said! What did I do to you?"
"I...I..."
Tang Zihao shrank back and began to stammer.
"Say it! I raised you with my own hands, caring for you in every way, afraid you'd go astray and learn bad things from those people. I even specially transferred you to study in Donghai, and now you're blaming me? Don't you have any conscience?"
Mu Wanzhi disregarded her image and started berating people in public. I had never seen her so furious before, but considering recent events and the embarrassment of being rejected by Chen Zhe tonight, she simply couldn't control her anger.
Tang Zihao felt a burning pain on his face. It was the first time he had been scolded so harshly by his mother. He clenched his fists tightly and finally fought back.
"Yes, it's all your fault!!! Everyone else has a father, but I don't. From childhood to adulthood, I've always heard people talking about me behind my back. They even called me a bastard, saying I was born from your messy affair..."
With a snap.
Unable to control herself, Mu Wanzhi slapped him. Afterwards, seeing the red handprint on her son's face, she felt a pang of guilt.
Tang Zihao covered his face, looking at his mother with anger and disappointment.
He had already suffered enough today, and to be beaten and scolded by his mother like this, she simply couldn't control herself anymore.
"I hate you!!!! You're the person I hate most in my life!!"
Shout those words out loud.
Tang Zihao ran away crying.
Mu Wanzhi stood frozen in place, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away in an instant.
Chen Zhe knew that things couldn't go on like this, so he instructed his bodyguard to take good care of Mu Wanzhi and went to chase after Tang Zihao.
