Chapter 117 - Going Home ("If I ever find you visiting these kinds of places with another man, I will make sure you won't be able to get out of bed.") (3)

“So… if you are engaged to me, your reputation and the Mu’s reputation will all be affected. Perhaps it will also affect your relationship with your grandmother.” She bit her lip and added, “And then there’s your business and Project Falcon…”

Looking at the guilt on her face, Mu ZhenYu was dazed for a split second.

Mu ZhenYu was well aware of what had transpired between her and Chen Yi and what Xu Tian had done – nothing was a surprise to him.

Later on, when she admitted that she was not the same Xu WanZhi anymore, he had never brought it up again.

From her words along with the meeting between Chen Yi and Chen Jin, he had a pretty good idea what was going on: this incident was about to be exposed soon. He thought she was turning him down for her own agenda. To his surprise, all of her reasons had his best interest in mind.

Mu ZhenYu’s lips suddenly curled upward. “Xu WanZhi, so what you are saying is you are insisting on being engaged to me.”

“Huh?” Xu WanZhi looked up at him.

“You had spent so much time worrying about how this would negatively impact me. Doesn’t that more than suggested that you wanted o be engaged to me?” Mu ZhenYu might be teasing her but his look was sincere. “Do you know how you’ve blushed when I kissed you earlier. At that location, with so many people around, but you didn’t try to dodge.”

Xu WanZhi avoided his look. She just wished there was a hole that she could crawl into right now.

“I’ll take care of Chen Yi for you. I have caught wind a few days ago that Qin Sheng had reached out to Chen Jin wanting to join force with her and brought the two of us down once and for all. For a poor little kid from the country side, he kept on overestimating himself.” Mu ZhenYu reached out his hand and brushed aside the few stray hair over her forehead. “You just be my fiancée and don’t worry about anything else.”

“Qin Sheng…” She hadn’t thought about that name in a long time. She hasn’t had anything to do with him or Liang ZhiQuan for a long time and she had almost forgotten about the male lead proper – it’d seem that she had underestimated the entanglement between the male lead and the villain.

That being said, the moment that Qin Shen was brought up, an idea suddenly crossed her mind. She had figured out how to resolve this issue.

She looked up and suddenly her eyes were filled with the spirit to fight. “Mr. Mu, the main focus of the Qin’s Corporation overlaps that of Huanyu’s right? Retinal scan, facial recognition, and artificial intelligence?”

Mu ZhenYu nodded slightly.

“Then, I think I Have an idea.” Xu WanZhi relaxed. She had an idea.

Mu ZhenYu looked over at her and quickly figured out her idea.

“It’s just that…” Xu WanZhi bit her lip. “This is the last resort. I’m afraid this will get very ugly.”

“So what if it gets ugly?” Mu ZhenYu snickered. “It’s alright. You can always come hide and sleep in my bedroom like during the thunderstorms. I’ll save a nice spot for you.”

Xu WanZhi was a bit annoyed. “I am being serious right now, Mr. Mu ZhenYu. You shouldn’t keep making fun of my weakness.”

The smile on Mu ZhenYu deepens. “I am being serious as well. After Thursday, it’d be very reasonable for you to hide in my bedroom.”

Xu WanZhi covered her face with her hands. “Start driving already. There’s no rain today and I want to go home!”

***

Xu WanZhi received the call from Fang Lin that night.

On the call, Fang Lin was hesistant.

Xu WanZhi knew what was in Chen Jin’s cellphone and that Fang Lin had a difficult time bringing that up. She said softly, “Fang-jie, I know what she has on her phone. I’ve seen them myself as well. That’s fine, just tell me what you were going to say.”

Hearing her words, Fang Lin let out a deep breath. “Dear, this is going to be tricky. I had a hacker looked into Chen Jin’s phone but it’s already too late. She had already posted the pictures on a forum before she was hacked. That wasn’t a good place. It was a forum where people exchange dirt. She wanted to fetch a handsome amount from the pictures.”

Xu WanZhi acknowledged and asked, “And then?”

“Then, she got herself a buyer almost immediately. The two had even exchanged a call. The hacker that I hired said the buy is Qin Sheng.”
