In the silent late night, the windows on the fifth floor of the luxurious and imposing office building were still lit.
Mu Junze was concentrating on the materials on his computer. His eye - sockets were slightly red from tiredness.
Just then, sudden footsteps echoed in the office. A cup of warm milk was placed on the table in front of him.
When Mu Junze saw who came in, his brows knitted tightly, and his words were filled with unwelcomeness. "Why are you here?"
"I was so bored in the hospital that I wanted to come out for a look. I haven't seen you for days and just wanted to talk to you." As Meng Rong spoke, she kept getting closer to Mu Junze.
Mu Junze pushed her away coldly with a straight face. "Stay away from me."
"Don't be so cold to me all the time. I've liked you for so long and have made so many efforts for you. Now my dad is about to send me to the United States. You're going to lose sight of me soon. Don't you even miss me?"
"No."
Facing Meng Rong's coquetry and provocation, Mu Junze remained calm.
Meng Rong pouted and leaned over the table, deliberately showing some skin. "But I'll be going so far away and won't be able to see you. I'll miss you."
"Get out."
Mu Junze stood up, picked up his computer and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Meng Rong immediately composed herself and grabbed his sleeve. "I was just joking with you. I accidentally heard from someone that you've been working overtime in the company lately. So I specially heated this milk for you to relieve your fatigue. It took me a lot of effort to bring it here. Won't you take a sip?"
"What do you want?" Mu Junze looked at Meng Rong without any emotion. He sized her up and down, and finally his eyes landed on the un - removed bandage on her face. A feeling of nausea welled up in his heart. His brows furrowed deeper, and his words became colder. "Get out of my company right now."
The smile on Meng Rong's face froze for a moment, and then she put on a brazen smile again. She stepped forward and took Mu Junze's big hand and placed it on her chest. "I know you have a lot of misunderstandings about me and think I'm a promiscuous woman. But my heart has only been for you from beginning to end."
"Get out!"
Mu Junze quickly withdrew his hand and took out two pieces of tissue from the table to wipe his right hand that Meng Rong had just touched. "My patience is limited."
Already exhausted from working late into the night, and having endured Meng Rong's disgusting behavior, Mu Junze exuded an even colder aura.
Meng Rong gently touched the bandage on her face and sneered. "I'm already in this state, but you still don't feel the slightest bit of pity for me. Isn't it your and Meng Nianchu's responsibility that I became like this? What's the use of your being so nice to Meng Nianchu? I like you even more than she does, but why do you always turn a blind eye to me!"
"What Meng Nianchu can do, I can do too! She can conceive the flesh and blood of the Mu family, and I can too!"
Hearing such shameless words from her mouth, Mu Junze was not shocked at all. But when they reached his ears, he still felt nauseous. He parted his thin lips impatiently. Not wanting to listen to her nonsense anymore, he was about to call the security guard downstairs.
Just as he took out his phone and was about to press the button, Meng Rong suddenly hugged him from behind.
"I really like you so much. I'm so afraid that if I'm really sent to the United States, I'll never see you again! Junze, there's really no one else in my world but you. I love you so much."
"What are you two doing!"
Suddenly, Meng Nianchu's voice came from behind. Mu Junze immediately pushed Meng Rong away and walked to Meng Nianchu's side.
Meng Nianchu naturally trusted Mu Junze. There was a hint of mockery in her gaze when she looked at Meng Rong.
"Even with your face ruined and about to be sent to the United States, you still can't stop causing trouble."
"What's wrong with me pursuing the one I like? You're so hypocritical!" Hearing Meng Nianchu mention the injury to her face, Meng Rong flared up.
Meng Nianchu sneered. "You're really shameless."
Afraid that Meng Rong might hurt Meng Nianchu, Mu Junze pulled her behind him.
Meng Rong met Mu Junze's cold gaze. Suddenly, she blushed coyly and said with a smile, "You really came at a bad time. We were having a great chat here, just the two of us. Don't you know you're intruding?"
There was a hint of smugness in her words.
Mu Junze's expression turned gloomy. "Take your stuff and get out!"
"We were just hugging each other. How could you turn your back on me as soon as Meng Nianchu came? You're such a heartless man."
When Meng Rong said these words, there was no sign of disgust towards Mu Junze on her face. Instead, her face was blushing and shy, as if she was a girl immersed in the happy river of love.
Unable to bear her self - acting any longer, Mu Junze called the on - duty security guard.
"Let go of me!" As soon as the security guards grabbed her arms, Meng Rong roared, and all her previous disguises were torn to pieces.
The security guards forcefully dragged her out of the company.
With the annoying person out of sight, Meng Nianchu crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at Mu Junze. "Did I come at a bad time and interrupt you?"
"No."
"Were you having an affair with Meng Rong in the office so late at night?"
"No."
After asking these two questions, seeing Mu Junze respond quickly and honestly, with a natural expression and no sign of evasion, Meng Nianchu immediately lost the thought of teasing him.
She turned around and walked out. Mu Junze followed behind to protect her.
"Meng Rong is just throwing in the towel. She wants to have something happen with you at all costs. If not, she'll try to destroy our relationship so that you'll completely belong to her and she won't have to go to the United States."
"Dad is still dealing with all the matters related to her going to the United States. Stay away from her during this period. Who knows what crazy things she'll do next."
As they walked from the office to the company's underground parking lot, Meng Nianchu kept repeating these two pieces of advice. Mu Junze listened quietly without complaint and occasionally responded with a soft "um".
Although he didn't say much, his serious attitude made Meng Nianchu extremely satisfied.
"You're such a man who says one thing and means another."
When the car drove to the company entrance, Meng Nianchu looked at Mu Junze's profile and suddenly sighed.
Just as Mu Junze turned his head to look at her, Meng Rong, who had been kicked out of the company by the security guards, suddenly rushed out from a corner and lay on the front of the car, completely losing all sense of shame.
"You all owe me. I'll make you pay it back one day! Bitch, bitch!"
The on - duty security guards saw Meng Rong causing trouble and quickly ran over to pull her away.
Meng Rong was like a madwoman, waving her arms and shouting with all her strength at the car that Mu Junze was driving away:
"Haha, you all owe me. I'll make you pay it back one day, pay it back!"
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and fell to the ground along her cheeks.
Meng Rong broke free from the security guards, slumped down on one side, and half - crying, half - laughing, shouted, "You all owe me."
