Although Song Yu wanted to set Ruan Danchen up with Qi Chenglin, Ruan Danchen had been through a lot that day so Song Yu was still worried about her. Song Yu took the chance to help her relax a little on the way home.

“I’ve already told Cheng Dongge that we will also investigate it ourselves. We will not depend on Mu Huaisheng.” Qi Chengzhi looked into the rearview mirror as Song Yu and Ruan Danchen were seated at the back.

“Don’t worry, Mu Sisi can’t do anything much. If you’re really worried about it, we could take thousands of steps back from this. If she’s really going to sue, Lawyer Song already told us today that we can definitely win the case. If you are worried about your future in the industry, go to Qi Lin then – still fear you’ll have no job?”

“What are you saying?” Ruan Danchen laughed. “I’m really okay. I didn’t do it, so I’m not afraid of her. She’s accusing me – no matter how prepared she is for that, there will always be some loophole. If it really comes to that, then you can use these under-the-table connections.”

After listening to Ruan Danchen, Song Yu looked at her face again – she seemed fine. Song Yu then stopped advising her.

The next day, Song Yu woke up past nine. Qi Chengzhi was not next to her.

Song Yu got up and cleaned up a little. Just as she walked out of the bathroom, she saw Qi Chengzhi enter the room in his short-sleeved sweatshirt and joggers. His body smelled like the clean air from outside.

His face was glistening with sweat and his sweatshirt was also wet from it, but he did not look disgusting to Song Yu at all. He was the type where no matter how dirty he was, he could still seem like he was squeaky clean – it was a rare temperament.

“I’m getting fatter and you’re still keeping yourself this fit. Isn’t this provocation?” Song Yu checked him out from head to toe; this man seemed manlier after a workout.

“If I don’t keep myself in shape, how could I serve you well? I’m old, I’m under a lot of stress.” Qi Chengzhi laughed as he removed his sweatshirt, showing off the defined muscles on his body.

His chest was still a little wet from the sweat. Song Yu looked at him and thought to herself, ‘What a meal!’

Her chin was scratched all of a sudden. She looked up to find him mocking her. “You’re drooling – is it that nice to stare?”

Song Yu blushed but she was not shy. She took a step into his arms, and her hands were tracing the muscles on his abs to his back as she circled his waist. She whispered with a little shyness, “It is.”

Qi Chengzhi looked down at her blushing face as he used his bony fingers to push the hair on her face to the side. He then ran his fingers through her long hair down her back and naturally wrapped his arms around her waist. Her soft ‘It is’ did something to him and he really wanted to do something about it.

He looked down at the beautiful red circles on her cheeks – they were warm and smelled nice.

Qi Chengzhi could not help but kiss her hot, pink cheeks with a smirk on his face. He gave her waist a slight pinch and said in his smooth voice, “I’m sweating all over.”

Song Yu lifted her brows and said, “Are you too good for me now?”

“Where did you conclude this from? I was saying it for your sake and you’re accusing me of this.” Qi Chengzhi hugged her tightly. “My body stinks of sweat and dirt.”

Song Yu laughed and rubbed her face directly on his chest – the sweat was almost dried up. All of a sudden, she turned around and kissed him. She did not know what had gotten into her.

As she moved her lips, she was suddenly lifted by him. Song Yu squealed softly. Her back was pushed against the door of her cupboard, and before she could make sense of the situation, his lips was already against hers, and his tongue arrogantly made its way into her mouth while intertwining with her saliva.

After kissing her from head to toe, he relaxed his extraordinarily full lips. His warm lips were still against hers as he laughed gently. His strong scent was pouring over her lips.

“You’re seducing me right after waking up, aren’t you naughty?” Qi Chengzhi said while grazing her lips and pushed her upwards.

Song Yu’s body weakened after the push. She held his neck tight and said shyly, “I looked at the calendar. We’re just over a week away from three months.”

After hearing that, Qi Chengzhi’s gaze changed – there was a fire in his eyes. He hugged Song Yu tight and said, “You want it too?”

Song Yu’s face burned as she nodded. He had wanted to do it every night but knew he could not. He had to hold it back – even with her help, it was not as good as actually doing it.

It was as hard for her as it was for Qi Chengzhi. She could not stand being seduced by him all the time – he would suck it with his mouth, but there was still tension in the deep end.

Especially with a man she loved to the core, she wanted nothing other than being together to the fullest and to be attached to him. She wanted to have him completely.

Qi Chengzhi could still hold it in before Song Yu said what she said. After hearing that, Qi Chengzhi was about to give in – his lips were pressed against the corner of her mouth with so much force, her soft skin was going to collapse.

“How about I do it slowly and we could try? We’re still days away from the three-month mark right?” Qi Chengzhi’s voice was hoarse, and Song Yu could feel his muscles tremble.

Song Yu hugged him tight and trembled while saying, “If we do it now, wouldn’t you want it everyday?”

Qi Chengzhi took a deep breath and put her down gently. He found her morning attire had gotten wet from his sweat.

“I’m going to shower.” His voice was tense.

He was about to turn around before Song Yu grabbed him. Qi Chengzhi looked down to find her blushing and her head lowered. He could only see the black hair on the back of her head. She said softly, “Let me help you.”

Qi Chengzhi looked at her deeply. He took no time to carry her into the bathroom.

By the time they came out, it was nearly time for lunch. Just as they wanted to go downstairs, Qi Chengzhi received a call from Mu Huaisheng. Mu Huaisheng said the investigation was complete and he was coming over to explain. He also wanted to apologize to Ruan Danchen.

Song Yu gave a call to Ruan Danchen and asked her to come over.

Ruan Danchen immediately took the train to Zhijing Garden. Given the intensity of traffic jams in B town, it was quicker to take the train than getting a cab.

Her phone vibrated in the coach. It was a text from Qi Chenglin.

Ruan Danchen’s heart skipped a beat. She opened the text to find a photo – there was nothing else.

Even though it was minimized, she could tell it was Qi Youxuan in the photo.

She clicked on the photo. Qi Youxuan had his hair cut short and the old watermelon cut was gone. His sides were shaved short, and the hair on the top of his head was slightly longer but not too long. It was gelled upwards with a little curl; it made him seem extra handsome.

This photo was taken in the salon. It seemed like the little one had just finished getting his haircut, and he could not wait to get Qi Chenglin to send the photo over.

Ruan Danchen zoomed in on the photo. She stared at Qi Youxuan’s face before zooming in further on each of his features. Her hand started to tremble by itself as she looked.

Ruan Danchen’s eyes started to swell. Her trembling finger gently grazed over Qi Youxuan’s facial features.

She saved the photo in a separate album. Truth be told, she would have loved to set the photo as her phone wallpaper.

Just as she was done saving it, Qi Youxuan called. Ruan Danchen picked up and greeted him. “Youxuan.”

“Aunty Ruan, did you see the photo?” Qi Youxuan’s young, clear, and crisp voice came through the phone.

Ruan Danchen gripped on her phone and said, “Saw it, I saved it too. I was just done with it before you called.”

Qi Youxuan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. He lowered his head as he grazed the floor with his shoe. “Do I look good?”

“You do, it suits you. You look really handsome.” Ruan Danchen could not help but smile gently.

Qi Youxuan was seated at the back of the car in the child seat. He shook his leg and pulled out a compact mirror from his small duck bag to look at his own handsome face. His face moved left and right to check himself out and his new hairstyle. He looked down and stared at his hair intensely.

“Since you think I’m good looking, why aren’t you meeting me?” Qi Youxuan lifted his chin and said with arrogance.

“Youxuan, I’m sorry. I’m going to your aunty’s house for some important matters.” Ruan Danchen stood up as she was approaching her stop.

“Oh, then we’ll meet next time. Bye, Aunty Ruan,” Qi Youxuan said without pushing further. He then hung up.

Ruan Danchen looked at her phone. She did not know if Qi Youxuan was angry.

She had not had much interaction with Qi Youxuan. This was a moment that proved how little she knew about him.

She did not know how he would act if he was angry.

The train stopped. Ruan Danchen exhaled deeply and walked out.

Qi Youxuan put away his phone. While looking at himself in the mirror and fixing his hair, he said, “Dad, let’s go to aunty’s house.”

Ruan Danchen left the station and walked towards Zhijing Garden. She heard honking noises that seemed to be following her.

She turned around to find a BMW 7 series driving slowly by the pavement. Mu Huaisheng looked out the window and said, “Miss Ruan, going to Zhijing Garden?”

Ruan Danchen stopped and nodded. Mu Huaisheng stopped his car and smiled while saying, “I’m also headed there. Let’s go together.”

Ruan Danchen did not reject the offer. She got into Mu Huaisheng’s car.

“Don’t worry, I already found out that you were wrongly accused. I won’t let my sister do anything hastily,” Mu Huaisheng said.

Ruan Danchen did not ask any further. She knew Mu Huaisheng would provide a thorough explanation when they reach Qi Chengzhi’s house.

Mu Huaisheng looked over at Ruan Danchen and asked, “Miss Ruan, do you blame me for what happened?

“It’s impossible not to blame you. Even if you didn’t know about this, Mu Sisi is your sister and you did not restrict her from it. You let her wrongly accuse others and make a joke out of others’ lives. My life was almost ruined in her hands. Even if you’ve proven that I am innocent, but this incident has already been spread out in the industry. Who would hire me in the future? To make such a mistake in your business and let your sister do this kind of thing, I am definitely blaming you for it. This made me feel like you’re kind of unprofessional,” Ruan Danchen said with her head slightly lowered. She was looking at her own knees. After saying that, she turned her head to look out the car window.

Mu Huaisheng stayed silent for the rest of the journey before parking outside Qi Chengzhi’s house.

Ruan Danchen got out of the car. Mu Huaisheng held the lift door open for Ruan Danchen before they both walked into it awkwardly.

There were only the two of them in the lift. After some time, Mu Huaisheng finally said, “Sorry.”

Ruan Danchen glanced over at him and stayed silent.

After reaching Qi Chengzhi’s entrance and ringing the doorbell, Song Yu found the duo walking in together to her surprise. Mu Huaisheng said, “We bumped into each other on the way here.”

Aunt Yong had already prepared tea, fruits, and some snacks. After sitting down, Mu Huaisheng said, “I came back at midnight yesterday and completed the investigation. It was Mu Sisi who switched the materials, I’m sorry. I know the damage has already been done. Regarding this, I will publicly announce that it was a misunderstanding, and let Miss Ruan continue being MU’s designer to end the rumours through action.”

“Will you expose what Mu Sisi did?” Song Yu said as she sat next to Ruan Danchen and held her hand.

Mu Huaisheng went silent. After some time, he said, “Putting aside the fact that she is my sister, my parents would not agree to this. Moreover, MU’s reputation would be at risk if we revealed the truth. If we do this when MU’s flagship store in the country has yet to be launched, it would have bad consequences.”

“Did you ever think about how bad it has affected Ruan Danchen? You care about the reputation of MU, but who is going to restore Ruan Danchen’s reputation? Even if you come out and say it was just a misunderstanding but not reveal why it happened, how would the public think? How would people in the industry think? If someone wanted to investigate, her relationship to me and your relationship to Chengzhi will be revealed. By then, people will say that you decided not to sue Danchen and even continue to give her the job because of Qi Chengzhi. In truth, she was the one who did it, and there were no misunderstandings. Danchen was accused and you get to be painted as a good and loyal friend while her reputation gets destroyed. How could she still stay in the industry after this?” Song Yu did not sound agitated, but Mu Huaisheng could tell through her soft voice that she was pissed.

Mu Huaisheng exhaled deeply.

Song Yu was so mad that her hand was trembling. “I regret introducing Danchen to you. I thought it was a good thing for her, but it has now caused her harm.”

“Sorry.” Mu Huaisheng could only say that.

“What’s the use of saying sorry? The harm has been done, you don’t want MU’s reputation to be ruined, then what about Danchen? Does she deserve to be wrongly accused by Mu Sisi? Mu Sisi did such a thing but is not facing any consequences nor any punishment. She could definitely face legal action for what she did!” Song Yu said angrily. “Who does she think she is to bully someone like this? Mu Huaisheng, how could you let her bully others? Can you bring Danchen some justice?

“Before this, Mu Sisi messed with me a few times and you came to apologize to me. I don’t care about that because that’s my problem, I could choose to forgive her or not. Mu Sisi has gone as far as targeting people who are close to me, she’s getting too much! If Mu Sisi came and messed with me, I have Chengzhi backing me. I don’t fear her, but Danchen has nothing, she’s alone. Why did she come and bully Danchen? Danchen did not trigger or piss her off, is it because she is my friend? If she has the guts to do it, come mess with me! Is she only bullying people weaker than she is? Is she that weak?” Song Yu was really angry – the speed of her words was fast.

“Song Yu.” Ruan Danchen grabbed her arm and tried to calm her down.

She knew no matter how amicable Mu Huaisheng was, Mu Sisi was still his sister – he could not let his sister get into trouble. Even if she was in the wrong, he had to defend her.

“Give me your phone.” Song Yu extended her arm towards Mu Huaisheng.

Mu Huaisheng was stunned – but he did it anyway.

Song Yu found Mu Sisi’s number quickly and called it.

Not long after that, Mu Sisi picked up and said, “Brother -”

Song Yu cut her short and said, “It’s me, Song Yu.”

Mu Sisi was clearly shocked for a bit as she did not respond to Song Yu immediately.

A few seconds later, Mu Sisi said coldly, “How could it be you?”

“Mu Sisi, if you have the guts, come for me. Don’t use such dirty tricks and wrongly accuse my friend. I have Chengzhi, you can’t beat me so you don’t dare to come after me directly and choose to go after innocent people instead? Are you that disgusting?” Song Yu clenched onto Mu Huaisheng’s phone and questioned angrily.

Mu Sisi scoffed, looked down at her newly done nails and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You know deep down what I’m talking about.” Song Yu was thoroughly disgusted. Hearing Mu Sisi’s voice and thinking about her face, she felt nauseous.

“I don’t know anything deep down. What, how did your friend get accused?” Mu Sisi spinned in her chair and asked while looking at her own nails.

Before Song Yu could answer, she pretended as if she just came to a realization. She had her hand over her mouth and said, “Aiya, I remember now, is it the girl who’s called something Chen? She used cheap materials to earn more, don’t you dare accuse me.”

Song Yu was expressionless. She said softly, “Mu Sisi, do you have a mirror next to you?”

“Why?” Mu Sisi put down her hand and asked with a dark, cold expression.

“Nothing much, I just want you to look at yourself in the mirror and see how disgusting you look. The more you’re like this, the less likely Chengzhi will like you. After doing such a disgusting thing, who could fall for you? Or since you know that Chengzhi would never fall for you for the rest of your life, you have given up and started doing things that harm both others and yourself?” Song Yu lifted her brow and said coldly, “Mu Sisi, don’t you dare think that you could do this just because you look pretty. Looks don’t matter, you have to have a good heart. Your heart is dirty, and you will look like it as well one day. You left to the States early in your life, not sure if you still remember something called looks will imitate your heart? If you don’t remember it, I can explain it to you.”

“Enough!” Mu Sisi said angrily. She stood up with force, and the decorations on her newly done nails were scratched on her stockings – a long tear appeared on the stockings.

Mu Sisi looked down at the tear on her stockings and felt like she was going crazy. She nearly screamed out of anger.

“Song Yu, you called me to say these things? Does Brother Chengzhi know? You must be calling me behind his back. If Brother Chengzhi heard what you said just now, he would never like you again! I’ll watch and see how long you can pretend, Brother Chengzhi will see your real side someday! If you have the guts, you can repeat what you said to me in front of him!” Mu Sisi squeezed her eyes together and screamed.

“I don’t need to repeat it, he’s right next to me. I have nothing to hide from him.” Song Yu pursed her lips and looked at Qi Chengzhi. She then said to Mu Sisi, “Do you want to speak to him?”

Before Mu Sisi could answer, Song Yu already handed the phone over to Qi Chengzhi.

“Song Yu, save the act! I can’t see through the phone, you can say anything you want!” Mu Sisi said while clenching her jaws together.
