The smile on Linda's face faded slightly, but she quickly said, "Junze, did you see today's performance? That trainee under Meng Nianchu not only looks a bit like you, but his dressing style today is also very similar. At first glance, I almost thought that Mu Feng was you!"
"Meng Nianchu is with a man who looks so much like her husband every day. I wonder if she'll be tempted. I originally wanted to take Mu Feng under my wing, but Meng Nianchu was very insistent and had to have that man. I did this for her own good. Otherwise, like now, netizens are gossiping as if Meng Nianchu is about to have an affair."
She made herself sound so innocent.
Meng Nianchu's gaze at her grew colder.
Linda took another step closer to Mu Junze, emboldened: "The rumor about Meng Nianchu and Mu Feng has spread so widely by now. They should avoid suspicion. But Junze, look at the interaction between Mu Feng and Meng Nianchu today. They look like a young couple, giving others plenty of opportunities to gossip."
As her words fell one after another, the aura Mu Junze exuded became more and more oppressive.
Linda thought her words were working and was extremely proud, waiting to see Mu Junze scold Meng Nianchu. But unfortunately, Mu Junze turned his cold gaze towards her. His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was cold: "Shut up!"
"I'm hungry. Let's go eat first." Meng Nianchu had no intention of wasting time with Linda. She grabbed Mu Junze's arm and walked towards the room where she ate.
Linda stamped her foot in anger as she watched their backs walking away. She never expected that all her words would have no effect at all!
The room where Meng Nianchu ate was also where she had been staying for the past few days. Meng Nianchu could sense Mu Junze's unhappiness. She wanted to explain things to him as soon as possible while it was still early.
She pushed open the door and dragged Mu Junze in.
To her surprise, she found Mu Feng in the room.
Meng Nianchu quickly glanced at the door lock: "Why are you here?"
Before his gaze fully landed on Meng Nianchu, Mu Feng was attracted by Mu Junze standing beside her. He sized him up and snorted: "I've always heard people say I look like Mr. Mu, but seeing him today, I don't think it's that similar."
"Good that you know." Mu Junze put his arm around Meng Nianchu's slender waist, claiming his territory: "Are you still going to stay here?"
Mu Feng stood up and motioned to the food on the table, looking at Meng Nianchu: "I knew you hadn't had lunch, so I brought you some. They're all your favorite dishes. If you want to eat something else, just tell me and I'll find someone to cook it for you. Well, since you're so tired, I won't bother you. You should rest first."
After saying that, he walked towards the door. When passing by Mu Junze, he suddenly said: "I thought the person others raved about would be something special. To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed."
Mu Junze glanced at him coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Go out." Meng Nianchu said in time.
Linda winked at her and walked out of the door.
Meng Nianchu quickly closed the door. Sensing the chill emanating from Mu Junze, she explained: "I forgot to close the door when I went out, so he was able to come in."
"I remember there are stray dogs outside. We'll take this food to them later." Meng Nianchu quickly packed up the food Mu Feng brought her, leaving only the side dishes the crew sent for her on the table.
She patted the chair beside her: "Let's have dinner together."
Mu Junze sat down expressionlessly, picked up the chopsticks, and casually asked, "Are you very familiar with Mu Feng?"
"He's my trainee, so of course I'm familiar with him." Meng Nianchu answered truthfully, then added, "But it's just a trainee - teacher relationship. Those things on the Internet are just rumors and shouldn't be taken seriously. As for the gesture Mu Feng made on stage today, it should be to express his gratitude for my care in the past two days. There's no other meaning."
"I'll also ask him about his style today."
Speaking of this matter, Meng Nianchu couldn't help but get a bit angry, and her tone turned colder.
Mu Junze fed her a piece of vegetable: "Mom said she misses you and asked when you can go home."
"We can go after dinner." Meng Nianchu raised her eyebrows: "Is it really Mom who misses me?"
She asked meaningfully. Mu Junze's expression became a bit unnatural.
Seeing Mu Junze's reaction, Meng Nianchu already knew the answer. She lowered her head and ate, voluntarily telling Mu Junze all the things that had happened at the venue in the past two days.
Mu Junze didn't talk much and just listened quietly.
After dinner, Mu Junze and Meng Nianchu returned to Shangting. As soon as they got home, Mu Junze picked Meng Nianchu up princess - style and walked upstairs to the room, throwing her on the bed.
Meng Nianchu affectionately wrapped her arms around his neck.
Mu Junze's desire grew...
The video of Mu Feng publicly making a heart gesture at Meng Nianchu during the performance in the morning was quickly spread. While attracting more CP fans, Meng Nianchu was also scolded by passers - by for allegedly having an affair with another man while being married to Mu Junze, which was considered to be against moral values.
Zhang Fan saw the little girl he had brought into the entertainment industry being inexplicably scolded like this. As someone who doted on his proteges, he immediately went to find Mu Feng and warned him not to do such provocative things again. Then he went to the costume designer in charge of Mu Feng's performance. Without giving a reason, he directly replaced her.
It was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that there had been many articles in the past two days saying that Mu Feng looked like Mu Junze. At this time, dressing Mu Feng so similarly to Mu Junze was clearly with ill intent.
He couldn't let his half - apprentice be insulted like this.
After replacing the costume designer, Zhang Fan quickly found another staff member to take her place. After doing all this, Zhang Fan finally felt at ease.
These two days, Meng Nianchu had been really exhausted because of the competition. After going home and taking a nap, when she woke up, it was already pitch - black outside.
She lazily lay in Mu Junze's arms: "I feel like it's been a long time since I woke up and saw you beside me."
Mu Junze gently patted her back. Saying nothing and just staying like this quietly already made one feel happy.
The rumor about Meng Nianchu and Mu Feng was spreading like wildfire on Weibo. But with Meng Nianchu in his arms at this moment, even if Mu Junze saw those articles, he didn't feel angry anymore.
He even thought it was a bit ridiculous.
He couldn't believe that some people actually believed such nonsense.
When he scoffed at this in his heart, he seemed to have completely forgotten that not long ago, he was so angry after seeing those articles that he almost couldn't work, scaring all the employees in the company half to death.
