"If Mei Hong really does find her, how are you going to answer her if we entrust our relationship to you?" After sitting in silence for a while, Qi Seven thought of what Mu Chen had just said and asked.

"If she really has the ability to find me, I will naturally give her a chance."

"Give her a chance!?" Hearing Mu Chen's reply, Qi Qi Qi couldn't help but raise her voice and ask. She originally thought that Mu Chen would avoid her.

"Aren't you curious what price she would pay for Fang Zhijun's promotion?"

Qi Qi Hua pursed her lips. "I'm not curious."

Mu Chen stopped the car at the side, turned his head, and looked at Qi Hua with a faint smile on his face.

Being stared at by Mu Chen, Qi Qi Qi started to feel uncomfortable. She extended her hand to touch her face, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face? Or did I say something wrong? "

"I've heard that Miss Zheng has a deep affection for a man from the countryside. She doesn't care about the dissuasion from the people around her and wants to marry him. It seems that the rumors are indeed untrustworthy."

Qi Qi Qi could hear that although Mu Chen's words sounded as though he was mocking her for her rumors, he was actually conveying a message to her. It was that her previous and current actions were too inconsistent, causing others to be suspicious of her.

She lowered her head and fiddled with the handbag in her hand. She didn't dare to meet his eyes because she was afraid that if she wasn't careful, she would leak out her thoughts.

"What's so strange about that? He hid the fact that I was already married, so he obviously wasn't that sincere towards me. If that's the case, why should I keep thinking about him? I've already broken off all ties with him, so there's no need to care about his life anymore."

"Oh ~ ~ Is that so!"

She raised her head and shot a glare at this damnable man. She opened her mouth, but swallowed back the words she was about to say. She was only cooperating with him, there was no need to fight with him for a clear understanding on private matters. There was no need at all.

Mu Chen saw Qi Hua turn his head to look out the window, as if he didn't want to talk to him. He didn't insist and started the car to drive back to the Zheng Family.

When he arrived at the Zheng Family residence, he didn't wait for Mu Chen to say anything. He threw down the words, "Next time contact me." Then he opened the car door and left without looking back.

Mu Chen sat in the car, looking at the disappearing back of Qi Seven. A smile appeared in his eyes. "It feels so weird and cute."

Of course he knew why she didn't care about Fang Zhijun. The only reason she had said that to tease him was because he wanted to see her hair standing up.

He was looking forward to how she would react in the end when he stood before her in his true form. Perhaps, she would also be like today. She would awkwardly turn around and leave without saying anything at all.

What choice would she make then? Go back? Or stay? He looked forward to her answer.

Mu Chen took another look at the lights on the second floor of the Zheng Residence. The corners of his mouth twitched as he started the car and left.

Qi Qi stood at the window, looking at the car moving further and further away under the cover of the curtain, and whispered, "Weirdo."

Then she shook off her high heels and went into the bathroom. After acting for so long, she desperately needed a hot bath to relax.

In the dead of night, after he had showered, Qi Qi abandoned everything and fell into a deep, sweet sleep. On the other side of the city, there was someone standing in front of a closed door, unwilling to move his feet.

Mei Hong stood at the door of Fang Zhijun's room, raising and lowering his hands several times.

Since Fang Zhijun left the army, he moved in with her. Originally, he didn't want to, because he hated her so much. After all, she was the one who moved out of his hometown, so he reluctantly moved in.

However, he did not give her a single chance. Everyday, she would either be busy at work until the middle of the night before coming back, or once she came back, she would shut herself in her room, refusing to come out no matter what. If this continued, how could she find a chance to recover his feelings?

These few days, she didn't sleep in the living room, so she persuaded him to meet her at the clubhouse. She didn't expect that just as she was about to leave, she would bump into Zheng Qi.

She secretly rejoiced in her heart after hearing Zheng Qiqi's heartless words at the club's entrance. Fang Zhijun should be dead in his heart, right? But the moment he returned home, he locked himself in his room, looking dejected and unable to live.

If she continued like this, he would hide in his shell and not come out. If not, even if she did everything she could to get back at him, it would be useless. She had finally revived once with great difficulty because she wanted to stand together with him at the peak of her power.

After some thought, Mei Hong still knocked on the door.

"Brother Zhijun, you haven't eaten anything all day today. I've prepared dinner, come out and eat something."

There was no response from the room. Mei Hong knocked on the door again. The sound became softer. There was even a hint of sobs.

"Brother Zhijun, I know you're feeling bad, but things are already like this. We still have to move forward. Miss Zheng is not from the same world as us. Since she has a new lover, you …" "Then you …"

Just as Mei Hong was hesitating on what she wanted to say to persuade Fang Zhijun to give up on Zheng Qi, the door in front of them was forcefully pulled open without any warning.

Fang Zhijun did not even look at Mei Hong. He walked past her and sat down at the dining table, staring at the four dishes and the soup in front of him in a daze.

Because Fang Zhijun ignored her, Mei Hong's gaze turned cold. However, she quickly recovered her gentle expression and walked a few steps over to sit beside Fang Zhijun, considerately serving him more food and soup.

"Brother Zhijun, I've stewed this soup for a long time. I added a little Chuan Bei into it to soothe my lungs and relieve my cough. I saw that you were coughing a few days ago. Drink more."

Mei Hong placed the bowl of soup in front of Fang Zhijun, looking at him with a pleading expression.

Fang Zhijun lowered his head to look at the steaming hot soup bowl, which was slowly wetting his eyes. He reached out his hand to grip the bowl tightly, not caring about the scorching temperature in his hands.

After a long while, he asked in a low voice, "Do you really think that I am not from the same world as Zheng Qi? "What world is she in, and what world am I in?"

It seems like his life in the army these few years was too simple and comfortable, and he was completely unable to recognize the cruelty of this world. This person was originally divided into three or nine grades, and with no power or influence, he had to rely on his own authority to put himself and the other nobles on the same level. This is too much self-deceiving.

However, Fang Zhijun was finally willing to open his heart and speak to her, so she naturally couldn't show her disdain by pointing at him.

Thinking of this, Mei Hong tightly held onto Fang Zhijun's hand. When she felt her hand covering him, there was an undetectable trace of resistance, but it was quickly relieved. This slight change allowed Mei Hong to see hope.

"Brother Zhijun, we can't change our backgrounds, but we can change our fates with our own efforts. Right now, there's a huge gap between our identities and Miss Zheng's, but as long as we work hard, we'll eventually become great men." Mei Hong took the opportunity to instill inspiration in Fang Zhijun.

This was not the first time he had heard Mei Hong's words, but today, they seemed to excite his heart. That's right, his birth could not be changed, he could rely on his own hard work to change his fate, he was not afraid of hardship, as long as he succeeded, he was willing to pay any price.

One day he would stand in front of her in another capacity, and he would let her know that the man beside her was not the only one who was worthy of her.

When Mei Hong saw Fang Zhijun's increasingly resolute expression, the huge stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. As long as he was willing to advance, and with the advantage of having more lives, she would definitely be able to help him reach the top position in power. Of course, the precondition would be that he would put his heart into her, be willing to bring her along, and not let the other women get lucky.

With a goal in mind, Fang Zhijun became very cooperative with Mei Hong's drawing of strings. No matter what kind of meal it was, Fang Zhijun would actively participate, and at the dinner table, he would pay attention to the way those people spoke.

Gradually, that slightly stiff man became more and more tactful. Sometimes, even Mei Hong was unable to judge which sentence was polite and which was true.

But in any case, Mei Hong was now very satisfied because Fang Zhijun no longer resisted her, and even had some intimate movements, so he let her be. As long as Fang Zhijun had any plans to start over with her, she was confident that she could grasp his heart.

After meeting with He Yao for a while, Qi Qi Qi and Mu Chen had a few more times with He Yao. Qi Qi Qi observed He Yao's body movements and language carefully and found out that He Yao was relaxing more and more every time, and the information he gave out was also more and more.

Under Mu Chen's instructions, she slowly loosened her mouth as well. From her initial stern rejection to her later hesitation, her attitude changed into something very natural and careful. So far, He Yao hadn't found anything out of the ordinary.

Of course, during this period, He Yao had given Qi Qi Qi a few times for free in order to show his sincerity. Qi Qi had also taken a few bites of the goods in front of him in order to win his trust, but before that, she had taken them all with Mu Chen's help. She couldn't possibly get addicted to drugs because of this mission.

After testing each other for more than a month, finally, during the meeting last night, He Yao had truly talked about some of the details of the cooperation.

Having made such a big breakthrough, she was immediately excited. She had slept a little late last night and was woken up by Mu Chen's phone ringing in the morning.

The instant the phone rang, her consciousness returned. However, when she saw the caller ID, she immediately fell back onto her soft bed and closed her eyes with a drowsy look on her face.

"Do you know how long I've only slept? Didn't we agree to let me have a good rest today? It's still early in the morning. "

He didn't realize how intimate her tone sounded at the moment, but it was obvious that the person on the other end of the line did.

A deep laugh came from the other end of the phone, a voice filled with magnetism that made Qi Qi Qi's sleepiness even more intense.

Alright, it's all my fault. You don't need to get up, just lie down. I have something to tell you.

Hearing this, Qi Qi was about to explode. What was with this light tone? From his tone, it was obvious that what he was going to say next wasn't important. Since it wasn't important, why did he come and disturb her sleep? She hadn't had a good night's sleep in over a month.
