Chapter 919 Peach Blossom Demon Does Not Want to Sacrifice Herself for Others (16)
"There's nothing to say. I'm the one who's sorry." Mu Tinghai simply admitted his mistake.
Duan Jiuwei looked at him in astonishment and couldn't help but sigh, "Good fellow, the last time you bowed your head to me was when I was eight years old and you tricked me into climbing a tree. I couldn't get down and fell down with a bloody head. I didn't expect to see you like this again now. Tsk tsk, is Tao Shichu really that charming? Is he willing to give in to me?"
Mu Tinghai's face darkened and he said, "Shut up. I am indeed sorry for you about this matter, but if you are serious, Tao Shichu never promised you anything, and neither did I. So my involvement with her actually has nothing to do with you. I didn't hide it from you because of our brotherhood."
"You bastard, you stole the woman I liked, do you think you are right?" Duan Jiuwei was furious when he heard what he said, "Tell me, is what you did honest? If I didn't have a broad mind, I would have turned against you long ago."
"Can you change your target?" After a long silence, Mu Tinghai asked him helplessly.
"What else can I do if I don't transfer? Am I really going to snatch your woman and then become enemies?" Duan Jiuwei rolled his eyes at him, "Remember, you owe me this, don't deny your debts before."
"Okay, okay, I owe you one." Mu Tinghai replied quickly, feeling relieved. Fortunately, this incident did not affect their relationship.
Duan Jiuwei felt sour when he saw that he couldn't wait to agree. Although he had more desire to conquer Tao Shichu than to have her, he was always unhappy when someone poached him, so he said, "I want to go out to sea to heal my emotional wounds and calm my feelings that you hurt me. Lend me the yacht you bought last year."
"Okay." Mu Tinghai agreed immediately.
Tao Shichu had no idea that Duan Jiuwei and Mu Tinghai almost turned against each other because of her brothers. After she finished filming "Ask the Mountains and Rivers", she immediately joined another crew. That crew was filming a suspense film, in which she played a killer with ruthless means and strong skills, and there were many fighting scenes.
When the director first saw her auditioning, he thought she was just a pretty face and definitely couldn't do fighting scenes. But he didn't expect that when Tao Shichu fought with the martial arts instructor, she directly knocked the instructor down. Her skills were neat and quick, and her hands and feet were as fast as the wind. In addition, she had a slim figure and long arms and legs, so her fighting moves were beautiful, like flowing clouds and water, and very aesthetic. Therefore, the director immediately decided to hire her.
Although the killer had a lot of scenes, he was not the protagonist after all, so Tao Shichu only took more than a month to finish filming her part.
During this month or so, she focused entirely on filming and didn't think about anything else.
But Mu Tinghai was different. He still remembered what Tao Shichu had told him, that she would come to him whenever she needed anything.
Therefore, over the past month, he felt like there was a nest of ants crawling in his heart, making him numb and itchy. He hoped that Tao Shichu would not come to see him, but he was also disappointed that she really did not come to see him. In short, his mood was extremely complicated. He could not help but be distracted at work, and could not help wondering whether Tao Shichu would come to see him the next moment.
Because of this, he even delayed some of his work and often had to work overtime to make up for it. Secretary He was surprised when she accompanied him to work overtime. After all, Mu Tinghai was a boss who insisted on finishing today's work today. He never delayed work before. Even if he worked overtime, it was because there was extra work, not because the work that should have been completed was not completed.
Seeing that the boss was distracted, the loyal secretary He finally couldn't help but care about the boss: "Boss Mu, what's going on with you recently?"
Mu Tinghai was startled and denied: "No."
Secretary He shut up immediately, but his eyes clearly showed that he didn't believe it. Mu Tinghai understood and couldn't help but coughed lightly and asked in a deep voice: "What if... I mean, if someone said that he would come to you from time to time, but he didn't show up at all, and there was no news, what's going on?"
Secretary He's eyes suddenly widened, and his gossiping spirit was ready to move. Was the boss talking about him? Who would come to see the boss from time to time?
Secretary He, who follows Mu Tinghai every day and is almost always by his side, knows almost everything about his boss who has almost no private life. But now, he is not aware of this "person" at all.
"Well, that depends on whether the person is serious when he says that. If he is serious, it depends on whether he is very busy and whether he has time to contact you... If he is very busy, it is possible that he forgot for a while. But things are mutual. Even if the person does not come to you as promised, you can take the initiative to find him." Secretary He said some safe words very carefully.
"Take the initiative to find her? No, I won't take the initiative to find her." Mu Tinghai immediately rejected this possibility and at the same time drove out Secretary He, whose gossip spirit was burning.
After Secretary He left, Mu Tinghai began to lose his concentration. He took out his cell phone, flipped through the address book, and finally found Tao Shichu's phone number. This was the number he and Duan Jiuwei had asked her for when they first met.
But he had never called this number before, and his finger unconsciously slid around the number. However, the touch screen of his phone was too sensitive, and his finger accidentally slid over the number, so the phone immediately started dialing Tao Shichu's number.
When Mu Tinghai heard the beeping sound of the phone, he was so nervous that he held his breath. He wanted to hang up the phone immediately before Tao Shichu answered it.
Unfortunately, he was not quick enough. The call was already connected, and Tao Shichu's clear and pleasant voice came over: "Hello? Mu Tinghai, are you looking for me?"
When Mu Tinghai heard her voice, his heart started beating wildly, as if it was going to jump out of his chest. He couldn't help but use his hand to calm his restless heart, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "Nothing, I just wanted to ask you if you are busy recently."
After all, Mu Tinghai had seen a lot of things in the world, so he quickly calmed down and asked in a normal tone.
"Not too busy. I just finished filming a drama and can take a break these few days." Tao Shichu replied. Suddenly, a crisp and pleasant laugh came from the phone. "Why, President Mu, do you miss me?"
"No, I, I didn't." Mu Tinghai retorted, "I just saw an unfamiliar number when I was browsing my phone, and I wanted to call to see who it was."
"Oh...is that really the case?" Tao Shichu asked in a long voice. The teasing in his tone made Mu Tinghai blush immediately. He realized that he was making things more obvious.
