Chapter 304 Is Chu Ci born in the Year of the Dog?
Tang Yutong was too lazy to argue with him and walked straight past him to the bathroom.
When she stood in front of the mirror, her whole body froze instantly. Her snow-white neck was covered with fine red marks, spreading from her collarbone all the way to behind her ears, which was particularly eye-catching in the morning light.
"Is Chu Ci born in the Year of the Dog?!"
She glared at herself in the mirror with gritted teeth. What was even worse was that the tube top dress she wore last night couldn't cover up the marks at all. How could she go out?
"Chu Ci!!"
She shouted towards the door, her voice filled with suppressed anger.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Ci came over upon hearing the voice. He had already changed into a neat suit and his tie was tied meticulously, completely different from his previous dissolute look.
He walked into the bathroom naturally, put his arms around her waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and asked knowingly:
"What happened?"
Tang Yutong pointed at the marks on her neck, her voice trembling with anger:
"Look at what you've done!"
Chu Ci chuckled softly, and his warm breath sprayed on her ear:
"What's the big deal? Now everyone knows you're my girlfriend. Isn't it normal for things to happen when you're deeply in love? We're all adults, no one will say anything about it."
He deliberately rubbed the red mark on her neck with his fingertips and continued:
"Besides, isn't this a good idea? It saves those ignorant people from targeting you again."
The blind man Chu Ci was referring to was naturally Chen Mo, the legal assistant in her company. He had long seen that the guy was interested in Tang Yutong. He was so bold as to have the guts to covet his woman...
"you--"
Tang Yutong clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.
If she didn't care about her image, she really wanted to punch this guy who was taking advantage of her.
"I have to meet a client this afternoon..."
Realizing that she was really angry, Chu Ci immediately stopped:
"I'll have someone send over a high-necked suit right away, along with a silk scarf, to cover it completely." He paused, then added:
"New Chanel model, just arrived yesterday."
Tang Yutong took a deep breath and tried to suppress his anger:
"Now, immediately, get out."
But Chu Ci tightened his arms and pulled her into his arms.
The morning light poured in through the frosted glass. He sniffed the faint jasmine scent in her hair, and his voice suddenly softened:
"Let me hold you for five more minutes."
This tone doesn't sound like that of the decisive President Chu at all, but rather like that of a child asking for candy.
Tang Yutong's body was slightly stiff. Although they had done the most intimate thing, she had no recollection of what happened last night. Only the soreness in her body reminded her of what had happened.
Being held like this by him at this moment, she didn't know how to react.
She finally spoke softly,
"Chu Ci, I need to be alone."
Chu Ci rarely insisted and let go of her hand.
"Then I'll go get you some clothes."
When he reached the door, he turned back and reminded:
"I had breakfast delivered. It's on the table. Remember to eat it while it's hot."
The moment the bathroom door closed, Tang Yutong immediately locked the door.
She scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face, trying to calm herself down.
The woman in the mirror still had a blush at the corners of her eyes and her lips were slightly swollen. No matter how you looked at her, she looked like someone who had been deeply loved.
She covered her eyes in frustration, but heard Chu Ci talking on the phone outside the door:
"Yes, I want that ivory suit...a Hermès scarf, and a concealer that can cover hickeys..."
Listening to his detailed explanation, Tang Yutong suddenly felt that perhaps getting along with Chu Ci was not as bad as she had imagined.

After Mu Nanyan took Chenchen and Lu Yiran to breakfast, they set off for the airport.
Lu Yiran followed her closely. Those who knew her thought that Lu Yiran was watching Mu Nanyan, while those who didn't thought that Lu Yiran was Mu Nanyan's bodyguard.
In the airport lobby, Mu Nanyan stopped and turned to face Lu Yiran:
"Mr. Lu, we're already at the airport. You should be relieved now, right? Let's go our separate ways."
As she spoke, she picked up the suitcase with one hand and walked inside holding Chenchen's hand with the other.
But as soon as she took a step, she realized something was wrong. Why did the suitcase suddenly stop moving?
Mu Nanyan looked back in confusion, only to see Lu Yiran's slender fingers firmly gripping the suitcase handle, with no intention of letting go.
Mu Nanyan looked at Lu Yiran with confusion, not knowing what he wanted to do.
"Did I let you go?" Lu Yiran raised his eyebrows.
Mu Nanyan retorted unyieldingly, "Do I need your approval to leave?"
Lu Yiran: ...
Lu Yiran was speechless for a moment. Indeed, he no longer had the position to control her.
He coughed lightly, and his tone softened a bit:
"We can't let you go alone at the airport. What if you change your flight and run away? Besides, we're on the same flight, so we should just go together."
Mu Nanyan was about to retort when Chenchen suddenly shook her hand:
"Sister Yan, please let him come with you. He's quite pitiful being alone."
The little guy blinked his big eyes with an innocent look on his face.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Yiran's eyes. Did Chenchen suddenly change his nature? He actually spoke up for him?
Seeing Chenchen speak, Mu Nanyan no longer insisted and tacitly agreed to Lu Yiran's following.
Seeing that Mu Nanyan had no objection, Lu Yiran and Chenchen both smiled.
However, the next second, Chenchen swiftly took the suitcase from Mu Nanyan and handed it to Lu Yiran:
"Since Uncle Lu likes this box so much, I'll trouble you!"
After Chenchen finished speaking, he took Mu Nanyan's hand and ran towards the check-in counter.
Mu Nanyan almost couldn't help laughing when she saw this. Is Chenchen treating Lu Yiran as free labor?
I guess only Chenchen would dare to order him around like this...
Lu Yiran stood there in a daze, looking at the mother and son's backs as they walked away. After a while, he shook his head and laughed.
The president of Dingsheng Group was actually tricked by his own son.
He weighed the suitcase in his hand and took a long step to catch up.
At this time, Mu Nanyan was checking in for a direct flight. She took the boarding pass handed to her by the staff, flipped through it lightly with her slender fingers, but her eyes suddenly froze on the cabin information.
She frowned slightly, pushed the boarding pass back to the counter, and said to the staff:
"Did you make a mistake? I booked business class, but why is it showing first class?"
"Please wait a moment. I'll check for you."
The staff member tapped skillfully on the keyboard, and after a moment looked up with a professional smile:
"Ma'am, the system records show that your order was upgraded at 8:03 last night."
Mu Nanyan was confused when she heard this. When had she ever applied for an upgrade? She was still attending Tang Yutong's birthday party at 8 o'clock last night. How could she have had time to apply for an upgrade?
