Chapter 1373: Chapter 1526: It Must Also Be Incredibly All-Consuming and Soul-Stirring
When Chu Mucheng finally saw the guest off, he relaxed completely, a trace of exhaustion appearing on his face.
"Mr. Chu, you should head home early today and rest!"
The speaker was Chu Mucheng’s assistant, Tian Tian.
True to her name, she had a sweet appearance and an impressive figure. Such a woman in a work uniform was a capable White Bone Demon and in a different outfit, a seductive beauty.
Chu Mucheng slightly lowered his eyes, and the image of the woman he had seen earlier flashed through his mind again.
So similar...
Even her walking posture was the same!
But that hair...
"Mr. Chu!"
Tian Tian noticed that Chu Mucheng seemed somewhat distracted and softly called out to him.
Chu Mucheng squinted his eyes, his sharp gaze falling on Tian Tian.
"Assistant Tian, you can head back. You’ve worked hard today!"
"Ah? It’s alright, it’s what I’m supposed to do!"
Tian Tian smiled slightly, her smile alluring.
She mentioned her car broke down today, so Chu Mucheng let her ride in his car. At that moment, being able to sit in the same car with Chu Mucheng filled her heart with joy.
And when they left just now, her heart was still holding some anticipation, hoping that Chu Mucheng would take her home!
After all, their boss was handsome and wealthy, and no assistant could resist being attracted to such a man.
So dashing and attractive, yet so cold and detached, making one unable to stop fantasizing.
But as for Chu Mucheng, it’s said he had many women, yet there were no scandals involving company employees, including the assistants around him.
Is this the so-called ’a rabbit doesn’t eat the grass near its burrow’?
The more it was like this, the more she felt a desire to try...
With her education, looks, and abilities, if she could win Chu Mucheng over in the future, she would become the young lady of Hong’an Group...
Of course, despite having such thoughts, she couldn’t be too obvious about it.
But now that the socializing was over, he didn’t even mention... sending her home? Not even out of politeness?
Tian Tian was still standing there, as Chu Mucheng raised his eyebrows, his sharp gaze sweeping over her face.
"Anything else?"
His voice was clear and ethereal.
"Oh, nothing else."
Tian Tian could sense that something seemed off with Chu Mucheng’s current mood.
They had just finished negotiating with the partners, secured the project, and signed the contract during the dinner, yet Chu Mucheng didn’t show the joy and exhilaration typically expected.
It was really somewhat strange!
"Well, I’m leaving, goodbye Mr. Chu!" Tian Tian’s soft voice spilled from her red lips.
A wise person knows when to back off; Tian Tian could see Chu Mucheng’s off mood, so it was best to keep a distance at this time.
Tian Tian’s alluring figure disappeared as she went to the roadside to hail a taxi home, while Chu Mucheng... having had quite a few drinks during the social, now felt a slight restlessness.
The driver had gone to the parking lot to get the car, and Chu Mucheng was waiting here.
He thought of Tao Zhixiang and was reminded of Li Qingzhao’s poem—
Fragrant lotus decays on jade mats in autumn
Gently removing silk dress, stepping onto an orchid boat
Who from clouds delivers embroidered letters?
Geese return, moon fills the west tower
Flowers drift and waters flow
One kind of longing, two anguished souls apart
This feeling has no way to dispel
Down from brows, up to heart
Up to heart...
Down from brows, up to heart, is it? Chu Mucheng’s handsome brows furrowed.
The image of that short-haired woman continually appeared in his mind.
Suddenly, a surge of impulsiveness flooded his heart, increasingly feeling that woman, was her...
Restlessness surged within him, he turned around and went back inside.
Just as he turned, he saw a young and handsome man alongside a short-haired woman in a khaki trench coat walk out.
Instantly, a tsunami erupted within Chu Mucheng’s chest, overwhelming, engulfing him.
It really was... her!
