Chapter 61
Wei Ran took Chu Muchao's hand and staged a "runaway" scene.
They were having dinner at the restaurant.
The story of Wei Ran picking up Chu Muchao and eloping hand in hand has been widely circulated in the company's small group chat and online.
According to the system, it was initially only discussed in small groups within the company.
Before long, Wei Ran and Su Qian paid someone to secretly take photos of them from ambiguous angles, fabricated stories based on the pictures, and then amplified the publicity with money, which is how it turned out.
[^-^ Someone's about to trend on Weibo~]
Chu Muchao: ? ? ?
[Su Qian created a tag to buy you a trending topic.]
Chu Muchao, ignoring the beef in his mouth, quickly took out his phone to check.
The topic of "a wealthy heiress's relationship exposed" is gaining popularity rapidly.
Oh no, oh no.
They went too far.
No matter how busy Chu Wen is, he definitely can't keep it a secret!
Chu Muchao wiped his mouth and stood up.
"I suddenly remembered I have something to do. You take your time eating, I'll be going now."
After saying that, she turned and left.
She could vaguely hear Wei Ran speaking behind her, but she wasn't listening.
As I walked out, I called my driver to come pick me up.
After getting into the car, Chu Muchao made a phone call to Wu Mi.
"Get them removed from the trending topics list."
Secretary Wu paused for a moment, then said, "Okay."
No wonder Wu hesitated.
When I learned that Wei Ran was waiting for her at the company, I told Secretary Wu and Xiao He in advance that no matter what rumors there were, as long as they weren't too outrageous and had little impact, we didn't need to pay attention to them.
There's no need to worry about it reaching Chu Wen's ears.
Are you afraid now that the true teachings have reached him?
Chu Muchao: That's true.
I thought you wouldn't be afraid of him. (Disappointed.jpg)
Chu Muchao: Don't provoke me!
She's very anxious right now!
On her way home, she made countless phone calls to Chu Wen.
However, no one answered the phone.
Chu Wen wasn't the type to give her the cold shoulder, ignore her, or leave her to her own devices.
Then there's only one possibility—Chu Wen is on his way back.
-
The car had just driven into the gate.
Chu Muchao saw a figure in the courtyard from afar, standing at the entrance of the main house with arms crossed.
The driver exclaimed "Huh?" and pointed at the figure.
"President Chu, isn't that Young Master Wen?"
"……Um."
Chu Muchao picked up his phone and purse and said, "Let's stop here. I'll walk over. You've had a hard day."
The driver understood and immediately stopped the car.
"It's no trouble at all, goodbye Mr. Chu."
After the car came to a stop, Chu Muchao got out of the car reluctantly.
As soon as the car door closed, the driver stepped on the gas and fled this place of trouble.
Chu Muchao walked over slowly.
"Brother...what a coincidence, haha."
Chu Wen gave her a deep look, his face dark.
"Go upstairs to your room."
"oh."
Chu Muchao lowered his head, resigned to his fate.
Be gentle later.
-
Back in Chu Muchao's room.
As soon as the door closed, Chu Wen picked her up and pinned her against the wall.
"elder brother……"
The words had barely left his mouth when they were silenced by a mouth filled with icy coldness, which began to plunder madly and wantonly.
"You didn't say it was this kind of attempt. What, is it not enough for just me?"
Chu Wen's lips parted slightly, his voice low and husky, lingering on the lips.
Chu Muchao retorted provocatively, "You're never home, are you?"
Even though he knew she was saying it on purpose, Chu Wen still couldn't help but feel a burning jealousy.
They nibbled and rubbed against it.
"Chao Chao, take back what you said."
Chu Muchao said softly, "Brother, I was wrong."
"Um."
Chu Wen placed his palm on the back of her head and pressed it against himself with a little force.
Chu Muchao was dazed from the kisses, his hands on Chu Wen's shoulders, his gaze fixed on Chu Wen's lips as they opened and closed.
What are you saying... in a soft, babbling voice?
She didn't know if she had been drinking before coming back, but she could taste a little bit of alcohol and a strong strawberry flavor. She probably chewed strawberry-flavored gum to mask the taste.
"Um?"
Receiving no response, Chu Wen urged.
Chu Muchao gave a perfunctory "hmm" and lowered his head.
"Brother, kiss me."
"..."
Long-distance relationships and information lag.
Anxiety and speculation about the unknown.
At this moment, they all become a raging fire burning the branches.
-
Chu Wen had no intention of letting Chu Muchao get away with it so easily.
After he had been sticking to Chu Muchao enough, he picked him up and placed him on his lap.
He crossed his hands behind her waist and held them tightly to prevent her from escaping.
Chu Wen said coldly, "Now that we have time, let's continue our conversation."
Chu Muchao blinked, feigning innocence: "What topic was it? I don't remember."
Chu Wen's voice turned cold and stern: "What's going on between you and that minor celebrity?"
"Oh dear, this..."
Chu Muchao stroked Chu Wen's hair, as if he were calming a raging lion.
"You've probably heard Wu Mi mention Su Qian from Qixing, right? She seems to want to get Wei Ran, ah, the one you saw on the trending topics, into my life. I want to see what else they're planning to do."
Chu Wen interrupted sharply: "You don't need to know what they're planning to do."
“Of course it was necessary,” Chu Muchao said. “On the day of the event, I embarrassed Qixing’s boss in front of everyone, and then his capable subordinates came to me to make their presence known. There must have been a backup plan.”
"Heh, alright. So, if their follow-up move is exactly as you guessed, what do you plan to do?" Chu Wen's eyes grew colder. "Let nature take its course, go with the flow?"
Chu Muchao pursed her lips and whispered, "Oh dear, brother..."
She made a move to push Chu Wen away and escape his hold.
Chu Wen grabbed her wrist.
"Chaochao, answer me. Are you planning to take your on-screen romance with that minor celebrity into real life? To get involved and gain this unnecessary experience for yourself?"
Chu Wen was truly angry.
Even if she were completely oblivious, she wouldn't dare to act recklessly or provoke anyone at this time.
"Brother, I understand. I just thought that with you and our parents protecting me, he can't do anything to me."
Chu Muchao explained.
"The way he looked at me that day made me very uncomfortable. He was so polite on the surface, but behind my back he had his people pretend to bump into me by chance, and even started by getting close to my friends. I really wanted to see what he was up to."
Chu Wen frowned and pondered for a moment.
"Qi Qingya?"
Hearing this name from Chu Wen's mouth, Chu Muchao was not surprised.
"Well, you see, you know everything about my private life, so what's there to worry about?"
Chu Wen raised his eyes, his gaze, filled with coldness and anger, fixed directly on her.
Chu Muchao guiltily averted his gaze.
"Stay away from her too," Chu Wen said.
"Oh." Chu Muchao was not surprised by this.
Chu Wen added, "She has changed a lot since she returned to China. You can search for the topics about her that have been exposed when you have time."
Chu Muchao said "Oh" again: "I really don't have much time to search for these gossips online. I've been too busy with work lately, and I hardly have time to study."
“She got caught up in the succession struggle and was set up,” Chu Wen said. “If she continues to wallow in self-pity, she’ll only end up as a lump of mud.”
Chu Muchao exclaimed in surprise, "Wow? Is that a strong word? If you can say something like that, then her current situation must be quite terrible."
Chu Wen did not deny this.
Chu Muchao remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was beginning to feel a chill.
Chu Wen was strict with her, but not harsh. On the contrary, his words were generally very objective.
She only noticed Qi Qingya's change from their last meeting at the bar, but she didn't know it had progressed to this point.
Fortunately, she had a system.
Fortunately, when I asked her to go to the bar that day, she was more cautious and even asked about the drink.
If she hadn't received the system's warning, she might have ended up on Su Qian's pirate ship too.
【^-^ I'm so pleased that Miss Mu Mu, sitting on her boyfriend's lap, still thought of this system.】
Chu Muchao: ...
Upon hearing the system's voice out of the blue, Chu Muchao's body involuntarily trembled.
Fortunately, Chu Wen only thought that she was frightened by Qi Qingya's matter.
He quickly pulled the person into his arms and gently patted their back to comfort them.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. Stay away from them, no one can hurt you."
"Uh-huh."
Chu Muchao leaned on Chu Wen's shoulder.
But in her mind, she was asking: Now that you're here, do you know who set up Qi Qingya? Is Su Qian or the mastermind involved?
No, it's not that; it's a power struggle within the family.
[It just so happened that Su Qian found this opening and gave her a boost.]
Chu Muchao: Oh...
[Your brother is right. It's better to stay away from Qi Qingya. You've had much more contact with her than you think, and the more you interact, the more likely you are to be caught off guard.]
Chu Muchao: Oh.
Miss Mu Mu seems a bit unconvinced.
Chu Muchao: ...I want to uninstall the system!
【^-^ A contract has been signed, and I can't leave until the mission is completed. So, Miss Mu, please bear with me. There's no need to hide anything from me. After all, I can read your true thoughts anytime I want.】
Chu Muchao: Tsk.
Chu Wen kissed Chu Muchao's forehead.
"It's getting late. Let me carry you to take a shower so you can go to bed early."
Chu Muchao shook his head: "I'll go by myself, I need to take care of my skin."
Chu Wen remained silent for two seconds, his dark eyes reflecting Chu Muchao's beautiful and delicate face.
He wanted to stick together a little longer.
"elder brother?"
Chu Muchao urged.
Chu Wen lowered his eyes and released her hand.
Go on, goodnight.
"Uh-huh."
Chu Muchao pushed Chu Wen to the door.
Everyone had already left when Chu Wen suddenly turned around and warned them.
"Be a good girl and stop associating with those shady people. I don't want to see you trending on social media anymore, and I especially don't want to see you with other men. Do you understand?"
Chu Muchao waved his hand.
His expression was perfunctory, but his words were sweet.
"Okay, brother. Goodnight, brother, mua."
After Chu Wen left, Chu Muchao hurriedly closed the door.
Chu Muchao: You just said, before completing the task? What task? My task panel still shows the task you mentioned last time that you would test me.
【^-^ is my ultimate mission to appear and sign a magical contract with you.】
Chu Muchao: What is it?
【^-^The ultimate task is: when the system determines that you no longer need me and have grown to the point where you can stand on your own, then the task is complete.】
Oh, that's quite far.
She couldn't even imagine her growing up to that level.
Chu Muchao: So as long as I keep needing you, it doesn't count as completing the mission?
【^-^ Maybe.】
Miss Mu Mu, here's another hint.
Chu Muchao: Say it.
[Besides the male celebrity, Su Qian also provided Qi Qingya with illegal drugs as a parting gift.]
