Chapter 73
Chu Muchao stayed in his room all morning and didn't go out.
Thinking to herself, Chu Wen is so busy, he'll definitely give up if he can't catch her.
Around 3 p.m., she woke up from her afternoon nap and wanted to go to the restaurant to find something to eat.
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Chu Wen sitting in the living room, holding a laptop in his hand and with an earphone in his ear, talking incoherently.
Chu Muchao was stunned for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Chu Wen held a meeting at home while waiting for her to come out.
Should we say he's dedicated and loves his job, or that he's polite and knows his limits, since he never barged into her room?
【^-^? Miss Mu Mu, do you still want him to force his way in?】
Chu Muchao: ...No, not really.
Chu Muchao waved his hand to banish the system's voice from his mind and tiptoed into the restaurant.
She brought out a plate of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and bumped right into Chu Wen's arms.
The next second, two hands reached through and wrapped around her waist, holding her tightly.
She was held tightly in Chu Wen's arms.
"I thought you hadn't seen me."
Chu Muchao muttered softly.
Chu Wen asked in a low voice, "Shall we talk in the living room or upstairs?"
"Will you talk about things that others can't hear?" Chu Muchao asked.
Chu Wen replied, "I can make things that others can't hear."
"..."
Chu Muchao was at a loss.
"Let's go upstairs."
-
Chu Muchao dared not bring the person into his room and refused to go to his room no matter what.
Chu Wen, settling for second best, chose the study.
Before Chu Wen could speak, Chu Muchao sat on his lap and covered his mouth with both hands.
"Listen to me first."
Chu Wen lowered his eyelids slightly and glanced at the place where they were touching.
He then raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.
"Brother, I apologize. I shouldn't have said those hurtful things. I was wrong."
Chu Muchao's voice was soft and gentle, and his slightly drooping eyebrows and eyes looked obedient and gentle, like a fluffy white lop-eared rabbit.
But rabbits are usually stubborn and have a big temper, and they are not easy to compromise with.
Chu Muchao, with a beautiful face that looked incredibly deceptively gentle and obedient, looked into Chu Wen's eyes.
Chu Wen envisioned countless possibilities in his mind.
Rebellious, defiant, calling him a pervert, or accusing and condemning him.
There was one possibility I hadn't considered—
Chu Muchao suddenly leaned closer.
As she let go, she pouted and leaned in to kiss Chu Wen.
"Brother, do you miss me?"
Her slightly husky, sexy, and soft voice was like a raging fire, instantly igniting the restless branches.
Chu Wen picked her up and placed her on the table.
"think."
Chu Muchao laughed and said, "Want to think about it? Let me see."
Chu Wen's eyes darkened.
Reason told him that this was one of the methods used by the dynasty.
But reason only lasted a second before being extinguished by the scorching fire.
Amidst their ambiguous entanglement, Chu Muchao stroked Chu Wen's hair as if as a reward.
"Brother, you have to believe me."
*
Chu Wen is easy to coax.
Or perhaps it was because he loved her enough to be willing to listen to her lies.
After a day of lively conversation, Chu Wen left again in the evening.
Chu Muchao's heart was empty.
Thanks to Xinbao calling her a jerk, she came up with this solution.
Satisfying Chu Wen's possessiveness and love for Gu Qian will make it easier to coax him.
She also felt refreshed and comfortable, achieving the best of both worlds.

The news that Xin Qing had signed with Feiyue Entertainment, a subsidiary of MZ Group, caused a great stir online and also reached Zhai Jinwu's ears.
Learning that Xin Qing had not only not been sidelined, but had also been signed by the woman who had embarrassed him at the party, Zhai Jinwu was even more displeased.
He found Huang Mao.
"Let's arrange to meet that woman again. I want to see just what extraordinary abilities she has!"
Huang Mao was in a dilemma.
Zhai Jinwu is currently very popular. He possesses technology that others don't have, and many companies want to cooperate with him. Huang Mao (Zhai Jinwu's nickname) can't afford to offend him.
But we can't offend the people on the other side either!
Faced with the other party's stammering, Zhai Jinwu lost patience.
"What's wrong? It's just a party, there's no way we couldn't get everyone together, right?"
Huang Mao said, "MZ Group, huh? They have so many businesses under their control. The young woman who just took office is so busy. I heard she's traveling all over the country. It's hard to get an appointment with her."
"Why is it hard to get her to come? She came last time, didn't she? We can just stop her from drinking." Zhai Jinwu said, "Tell me what she wants, and I'll have someone arrange it, okay? If she likes women, fine, we'll just find her a few pretty girls, right?"
"Sigh... Brother Wu, why did you invite her over? She and her brother Chu Wen don't usually attend these kinds of gatherings, and they're usually hard to get an invitation from. Last time was an exception, and I don't know why she agreed to come."
Zhai Jinwu: "I don't care. Just invite them over, and name whatever benefits they want."
Yellow Hair: "Sigh, okay, I'll give it a try."
After hanging up Zhai Jinwu's call, Huang Mao remembered that among the people he had recently met, there happened to be someone who had recently been involved in a minor scandal with the eldest daughter of the Chu family.
Those who are involved in scandals usually have some real connection, and it's likely that the Chu family suppressed the rumors.
After thinking for a moment, Huang Mao dialed a phone number.
"Hey, Sister Su, can I ask you something?"

3 PM.
Chu Muchao sat in the car on the way to the airport, confirming tomorrow's itinerary with Xiao He.
After boarding the plane, Chu Muchao sat down in his seat.
Then, someone came over.
Chu Muchao didn't care at first.
The seat next to me belongs to Xiao He; the person who came should only be standing for a short while...
Then the man sat down!
Chu Muchao turned his head, about to speak, when he met the other person's eyes.
The other person was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, only their eyes were visible.
Chu Muchao recognized the person at a glance.
"Weiran?" Chu Muchao's voice rose at the end, sounding somewhat uncertain.
Wei Ran pulled down his mask, revealing a handsome smile befitting a typical sunny campus heartthrob.
"Chuchu, you recognized me right away! You're amazing! I thought I was hiding it very well!"
"Oh, hehe." Chu Muchao chuckled. "What's this?"
"I saw you as soon as I boarded the plane! What a coincidence! I never expected to run into you on the plane!"
Wei Ran's smile grew even brighter, as if she were genuinely happy and excited about their chance encounter.
Chu Muchao smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners.
"Yes, it's quite a coincidence."
But she didn't believe it at all.
Xiao He stood next to the seat, patiently waiting for Wei Ran to finish speaking, before smiling and stepping forward.
"Sir, this is my seat."
"Oh, I'm so sorry."
As if only then realizing it, Wei Ran quickly got up and asked Xiao He to come over, exclaiming in surprise, "Chu Chu's secretary is here too."
Xiao He paused in his act of bending over to sit down, unsure whether to sit or stand.
Chu Muchao grabbed her arm and pulled her down to sit.
"Sit still, don't block the people behind you from boarding." Chu Muchao raised an eyebrow and said to Wei Ran, "You go back to your seat too."
Wei Ran smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, we can't hinder others from boarding or disrupt the order."
Wei Ran's seat was diagonally behind them.
After sitting down, he looked at the two people in front of him, smiled and waved, his movements were awkward and immature, with a student-like air about him.
Xiao He looked away and sighed softly.
"No wonder she debuted in a campus idol drama, she really looks like a pure college student."
Chu Muchao hummed in agreement.
Xiao He: "However, no one would believe that someone so young could enter the entertainment industry and be valued by such a company is naive."
Chu Muchao mentally called upon the system.
What is Wei Ran up to now?
Chu Muchao: Could it be because I haven't been replying to your messages for a long time that they're anxious and have come looking for me? That can't be.
[It just so happens that we have travel plans for the same city, but choosing to travel on the same flight was something Su Qian specifically arranged.]
Chu Muchao: So, my whereabouts have been leaked again.
She's not a celebrity, so why is she being targeted?
Knowing that she went to another city for an event is fine, but knowing her flight information is a bit much.
There are seven flights to this city today; it's such a coincidence.
While Chu Muchao was wondering, the system had already retrieved all the information.
I just checked the entire internet, and it's not the same person who took the photos last time.
Chu Muchao: How do you know I suspect the person who took the photos secretly?
【^-^ Because I'm inside Miss Mu Mu's body.】
Chu Muchao: (Smiling) Speak properly, don't be sarcastic.
[Sigh] Because that's what I think too.
Chu Muchao: If it wasn't taken secretly, then it must have been leaked to Su Qian by someone close to me?
Yes, someone saw your secretary booking the plane tickets.
In my mind's eye, a semi-transparent business card appeared. On the left was a face, and on the right were the name, occupation, and other information.
Chu Muchao read out the name and turned to Xiao He.
"After you get off the plane, tell Wu that this person leaked my itinerary to outsiders. This is a one-time exception."
Xiao He quickly replied, "Okay, Mr. Chu."
So, what does Miss Mu Mu plan to do with that sunny school heartthrob?
Chu Muchao: Hey! I told you not to be sarcastic!
But Miss Mu Mu doesn't remember his name, only his labels as a sunny, handsome school heartthrob and a younger, adorable guy.
Chu Muchao: I remember his name! Isn't this just using a label to make it easier to remember?
【^-^So Miss Mu Mu still remembers his name.】
Chu Muchao: Mute!
【^-^】

Upon disembarking from the plane, Chu Muchao and Xiao He deliberately quickened their pace to meet the people who had come to pick them up as soon as possible.
However, Wei Ran was faster. He didn't even need to carry his own luggage. He just jogged a few steps with a crossbody bag on his back and caught up with Wei Ran.
"Chuchu, wait for me. I didn't want to disturb your rest on the plane, and now that we can finally talk, don't be in such a hurry to leave."
"Aaaaaahh ...
"Brother! Brother!"
"Honey! Honey, look at me!"
Suddenly, I heard a mixed scream from a man and a woman.
Chu Muchao was startled.
They had already walked out of the passageway, surrounded by fans who had come to greet Wei Ran, holding up signs with Wei Ran's name or chibi-style portraits.
Wei Ran looked at Chu Muchao with reluctance.
"Don't go, Chuchu."
Wei Ran's voice was drowned out by the screams of his fans.
Amidst the screams, Chu Muchao also saw flashes of light.
Airport security personnel arrived late and escorted Wei Ran into the crowd of fans.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chu Muchao pulled Xiao He towards another passage.
While walking, he sent a voice message to Wu Mi: "Pay attention to my topics. If there are any topics related to me and Wei Ran, suppress them immediately. Use the official account to promote the event I will be attending tomorrow."
