Chapter 144 - 144 Jealousy

Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Jealousy

As Yang Chen walked back to the business class, intending to take a rest, despite feeling satisfied with the past half-hour of passion, he also felt a bit sore from standing in the cramped restroom for so long.

But at this moment, two icy glares shot towards him from a corner.

Yang Chen shivered and looked up, only to see Mo Qian Ni had removed her sunglasses at some point, shooting him a gaze full of killing intent.

Perplexed, Yang Chen awkwardly smiled and shifted in his seat before sitting down.

The rest of the flight proceeded calmly. By noon, the plane landed at Hong Kong International Airport, and the business class passengers disembarked first.

As they walked out of the cabin, An Xin, still neat and composed as ever, sweetly smiled at Yang Chen. Her eyes held an unmistakable reluctance as she secretly blew him a kiss.

Yang Chen cleared his throat. He could see it now — this woman was definitely a fox spirit in human form!

Seeing this scene, Mo Qian Ni snorted coldly and walked out of the cabin first, striding away as if she couldn't be bothered to walk with Yang Chen.

Yang Chen and An Xin exchanged glances, then reluctantly hurried to catch up with Mo Qian Ni and Lu Tao.

"I say, Miss Mo, what's going on again? Did I offend you?" Yang Chen asked in confusion in a low voice.

Mo Qian Ni sneered repeatedly. "Enjoying the flight attendant's company?"

Yang Chen was taken aback but didn't hide it. "How did you know?"

Mo Qian Ni saw him admitting it so bluntly and unabashedly, feeling even more bitter. This man had no shame at all. "How did I know? Everyone was fastening their seatbelts, and you decided to go to the restroom. The flight attendant went there too. You both disappeared for an hour. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Seeing Mo Qian Ni's embarrassed and angry look, Yang Chen's mind raced, and he playfully said, "Is Miss Mo jealous?"

"Jealous?!" Mo Qian Ni blushed, quickly clarifying, "I'm jealous of you? You're overthinking it! I just feel sorry for Ruoxi. She ended up with such a shameless husband like you. It's really tough for her to spend her life with someone like you."

As they walked toward the airport exit, amidst the bustling crowd, no one could hear what they were saying.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "But Miss Mo, you're not Ruoxi. How do you know we'll spend our lives together?"

"What? Do you plan to divorce Ruoxi and find another fox spirit?" Mo Qian Ni asked angrily.

"Hey, why are you getting so worked up? I didn't say anything. Even if I do divorce, it won't be with you. I just spoke casually," Yang Chen didn't expect her reaction to be so intense.

Mo Qian Ni stared at Yang Chen and said, "Let me tell you, surnamed Yang, you'd better not have any crooked thoughts. If you hurt Ruoxi, I will make sure you suffer!"

Seeing the beautiful eyes filled with anger and killing intent so close to him, Yang Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

Li Muhua laughed heartily. "This is the right attitude for cooperation, Miss Qian Ni, you need not worry."

Half an hour later, the luxury convoy gradually entered the hilly and forested area. It was already autumn, and the mountains were covered with red leaves, while the roads were strewn with golden foliage.

As the serene mountain road ascended, gradually, the hazy and vast sea view in the distance became visible—the blue and white horizon, the dense layout of old-fashioned buildings contrasting sharply with the scenery on the mountain.

"As I sit and admire the late maple woods, the frost-kissed leaves are redder than February blossoms," Lu Tao suddenly recited, "Mu Se Manor truly chose a great location."

Li Muhua nodded in agreement, "Indeed, this place is the culmination of my father's efforts. If Mr. Lu likes it, feel free to visit again in the future. Our Li family would be delighted to welcome you."

Although aware of the courteous exchange, Lu Tao couldn't help but smile broadly.

Arriving at Mu Se Manor in the afternoon, the first sight upon exiting the car was the vast and elegant buildings in shades of orange, red, and white—a perfect blend of retro Oriental and modern Western styles, making the entire complex exquisite yet practical. The elegant landscaping divided the leisure resort into different sections delicately, while the ingenious Nine-Bend Bridge on the artificial lake allowed guests to enter the manor from the water surface.

Many Li family servants within the manor noticed the arrival of the convoy and immediately put down their tasks, bowing to welcome them.

Following Li Muhua, the four chatted as they made their way into the manor. Once inside, they realized that the main body of this manor was akin to a five-star hotel.

Entering a Chinese-style private room decorated with classical elements, several flower lamps adorned the ceiling, and a balcony with the fragrance of flowers and the sound of birds made the room serene and elegant.

At this moment, there were already four or five middle-aged men in formal wear sitting in the room, quietly discussing something over tea.

A man in a gray mandarin collar shirt with slightly graying hair sat in the main seat, but he seemed to have difficulty moving his legs as he sat in a wheelchair. His appearance was unremarkable, but upon seeing Li Muhua bring in the four guests, he showed a contented smile, "Hehe, the esteemed guests have finally arrived. Please forgive the inconvenience of welcoming you from afar."

"Mr. Li, you're too kind. Having Mr. Li's son come to greet us is already a great honor," Lu Tao smoothly replied, immediately adding with a smile.

After exchanging greetings with the various managers from the Mu Yun Group present, they all sat down together, and although everyone had their own schemes in mind, they maintained a harmonious atmosphere on the surface.

When Li Deshen felt it was about time, he signaled to Li Muhua sitting beside him.

Understanding, Li Muhua nodded and clapped his hands, then turned to the waitress with a somewhat attractive appearance at the door, "Let's start serving the dishes."

The best novels are all on JIUWUXS.COM. The efficiency of the waitress was also very high, and she swiftly brought up a variety of exquisite dishes that had been prepared. Apart from Yang Chen, everyone at the table was seasoned in the business world, with countless experiences. As they drank and ate, they discussed various trends in the media industry between the South China Sea and Hong Kong, immediately igniting lively conversations.

Halfway through the meal, a woman who seemed to be the restaurant manager rushed in anxiously and whispered a few words in Li Deshen's ear.

Li Deshen's hand holding the chopsticks froze, then he slammed the chopsticks down on the table with a loud bang!

"This is outrageous!"
