"As long as you are willing, Shangguan Bai's door will always be open for you." Seeing the moved look in Chen Mu Mu's eyes, Shangguan Bai also said passionately.

"Is it just Shangguan Bai, not the Shangguan Family?" Chen Mu Mu Mu asked with a hint of ridicule in his voice.

"The current Shangguan Bai cannot become the head of the Shangguan family." Shangguan Bai cast a sidelong glance at her with a hint of confusion in his eyes. "If you're willing, wait for me." "One day, Shangguan Bai will not be a part of the Shangguan family, but the Shangguan family, becoming a part of Shangguan Bai."

Chen Mu looked at Shangguan Bai's jade-like face, then at the ripples in his eyes. His heart suddenly felt as if it was a spring water that had been blown by the wind.

In that moment, his heart was a bit flustered and he didn't dare meet Shangguan Bai's eyes.

Was it her imagination? Why did she faintly feel that his friendship with her was not just a business partnership?

Could it be that … Like her?

With this thought in mind, Chen Mu Mu couldn't help but laugh.

Although she did not feel that she was unworthy of Shangguan Bai in any way, if she liked him, it would not be too much to simply push him down.

But Shangguan Bai was not her type.

Although he could understand her thoughts, such a person was very good as a close friend, but he was not suitable to be a lover.

Why not?

Chen Mu asked himself, but he was unable to think of the reason in such a short period of time.

It was probably because the hare didn't eat the grass by its nest. If it was too familiar with the grass, it wouldn't be easy to make a move on it.

If she wanted to cooperate with Shangguan Bai, she only wanted to do so. Humans' desires could not grow, and could not get everything they wanted. If there was any other relationship between them, then their future cooperation would no longer be stable and harmonious.

"Shangguan Bai, hurry up and sign the contract."

Shangguan Bai also did not know what to think, he kept staring at her, Chen Mu Mu Mu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and changed the topic.

"Alright." Shangguan Bai looked at her deeply, then pushed away the white paper on the table. With a smile on his lips, he absent-mindedly looked at the tip of the brush dipped in ink and said faintly, "Chen Mu Mu, I've always felt that you're a smart person."

Because she was smart, she should have understood what he meant just now, right?

However, even though she understood, she did not express any opinion.

Shangguan Bai lowered his brow, the pen in his hand paused for a moment, a full drop of ink slid down the tip of the brush.

It felt like his heart had sunk.

"I'm still young, so I don't know a lot of things." When Chen Mu Mu Mu saw his dejected expression, a trace of melancholy flashed past his eyes before he replied quickly.

Being young was her capital. In any case, this body of hers wasn't that old. Using her age to talk, she could sometimes avoid a lot of awkwardness.

Cooperation was cooperation. If one was involved in a personal relationship, then it would be hard to explain it in the future. Moreover, it might not be a good thing for her to break that hazy paper.

When Shangguan Bai saw that she was using this as an excuse, the melancholy in his heart grew. He smiled faintly and agreed, "You're indeed still young."

It was still small, not directly refusing.

If she was still young, it meant that she still had a chance. When she grew up, it would still be a long time before she grew up.

Life is full of changes. Who knows how many things can happen in this period of time.

Neither of them spoke, and the air was filled with a strange serenity.

After a while, the contract was completed. Shangguan Bai blew the ink on it and sealed it with his unique seal. He passed it to her and said, "Take this. This time you can make it up. You might not have such luck next time."

"Could it be that you will change your mind?" "This contract is just a piece of paper. If you don't acknowledge it, I won't be able to do anything about it even if it turns out to be true."

"Only you would." Shangguan Bai was a bit helpless, "The world is unpredictable, who knows what will happen in the future. Although your cooperation is to keep up with the Shangguan Family, it's actually with me, the Shangguan Family has a lot of people who don't seem to be compatible with each other, if you don't take the contract in your hands, if something happens to me one day, I'm afraid your benefits won't be able to come back."

There were all kinds of birds in the forest. Other than him, there might not be so many people who kept their word. And if they didn't keep their promises, based on Chen Mu Mu's character, he would definitely cause both of them to suffer losses, causing both of them to suffer.

If it was a scary word, he had to be careful.

Hearing Shangguan Bai's words, Chen Mu Mu couldn't help but be stunned and speechless. "Under normal circumstances, the richer and more powerful one is, the more hope they have to live longer than Nan Shan. How can you curse yourself like that?"

"The heavens do not predict the winds and the clouds, and people will experience misfortune. Those so-called eternal blessings of the East China Sea are all fake. It is fine to see the reality below with one's feet." When Shangguan Bai saw her frown, he smiled faintly. "Don't be angry, I won't say anything about it."

"That's more like it." Chen Mu Mu Mu said, but when he saw Shangguan Bai's appearance, he felt a strange discomfort in his heart.

Knowing one's own situation was one thing. It wasn't bad to see the facts, but it was better to be prepared. However, there were some things that were hard to accept that came out of his mouth. She frowned and looked at him sternly, "Shangguan Bai, everyone says that you won't live long to see the calamity of a thousand years. Since you're so cunning, you'll definitely live for a hundred years. "Never give up at any time."

A thought struck Shangguan Bai, and he suddenly pursed his lips: "You care?"

"Isn't that nonsense?" Chen Mu Mu rolled his eyes, "You'll have to work with me for a few years, and you'll have to take it on even before I get rich. What should I do then?"

Did the interest community think he was the only one?

Shangguan Bai started, and the smile on his face dimmed a little: "You're right, I forgot about that."

The two of them discussed about their work after going to the capital. In the blink of an eye, it was time for lunch.

Shangguan Bai asked the servants to prepare some food. He had not eaten yet when he saw Rong Ba rushing in: "Young Noble, there's a problem with the silk in the north. The old master is currently in a rage and wants you to go back."

Shangguan Bai stood up helplessly and said to Chen Mu: "I need to go back first. I'll keep Rong Ba here, if you need anything, just tell him."

"You can go. I won't be polite to you." Since the old master had already sent people to urge him to do so, Chen Mu Mu Mu wouldn't force him to stay.

Besides, she was about to leave for the capital. She had a lot of things to prepare, so she didn't have the time to think about other people's things.

"That's good." Shangguan Bai smiled at her and hurried out the door.

Chen Mu Mu stood up to send him off. Looking at his departing back, he sighed emotionally and said, "This meal is already ready, yet I can't even have a bite to eat. I was born in the Shangguan family and was looked down on by outsiders."

"Heartache?" The youth at the corner asked coldly after he finished speaking.

Chen Mu Mu raised his gaze, and upon seeing Qin Wentian standing there motionlessly, the corners of his brows twitched, "When did you arrive?"

How long has it been since I last heard it?

Young man, how old are you to have learned these bad habits?

"I've been here for a while." Lu Jinfeng said, "Seeing that you and Shangguan Bai are happily chatting, I can't bear to disturb you."

"Well done." Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't want to indulge the arrogance of the young man and instead complimented him on his actions.

"You really don't want to be disturbed by me?" Lu Jinfeng moved closer, her entire body filled with a sour smell, "Could it be that you have fallen for him?"

"So what?" Chen Mu shot a glance at him, "Shangguan Bai is more handsome, more mature than you, richer than you, more good-natured than you, what's so strange about me liking him?"

"Didn't you say that you're not one of those women who only looks for men to gain power from?" Lu Jinfeng frowned, the sour taste became even stronger.

"I forgot." Chen Mu spread out his hands. "Anyway, it has nothing to do with you, right?"

"You!" Lu Jinfeng stared at her for a while, then suddenly sneered: "Greedy and lecherous woman."

Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu didn't care that much, as the small talk couldn't hurt her, "How many people in this world can really be neither greedy nor lustful? As long as they don't go against the morals, then what's the harm in being greedy? It can even promote the struggle for life."

"Shameless." Lu Jinfeng could not be bothered with her and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" This was the first time during an argument that Lu Jinfeng appeared abnormally calm. Feeling that something was amiss, Chen Mu Mu immediately chased after him.

"I don't want to see you." Lu Jinfeng said unhappily.

"Then I'm leaving?" Chen Mu Mu Mu halted his steps and spoke with a smile that was not a smile.

Lu Jinfeng came to find her because he had something to discuss and it was illogical for him to turn around and leave.

Lu Jinfeng also stopped in his tracks, he thought for a while, then said helplessly: "If you want to leave, no one can stop you."

If she really wanted to leave, no one would be able to stop her.

Unfortunately, she didn't want to leave now.

"Speak, why are you looking for me?"

Having known each other for so long, they would at least have some sort of tacit understanding. Lu Jinfeng was not surprised that she could guess that he came to find her for a reason. Since she had started to question him, he did not act rashly.

Lu Jinfeng's master, that unreliable Lin Mo?

"So?" Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu's tone was cold as he replied, "What a coincidence, it just so happens to be at this time."

While they were escaping and hiding in an unknown place.

"How did you get in touch?"

She did not care about anything else. The last question was what she wanted to know.

"He has fireworks." Lu Jinfeng pointed to the jade hairpin in her hair and said, "It's similar to yours, only we can understand how to read it."

So this child that she thought was very pure and very stupid also had many secrets of his own?

She couldn't help but feel that she couldn't keep up with the pace of his time.

A strange sense of powerlessness surged out from Chen Mu Mu's heart, he waved his hand: "I'm not asking you about the process, then where is Lin Mo now, what does he want to do?"

In any case, the people behind the scenes, were trying to kill Lu Jinfeng and the Madam Li. Lu Jinfeng believed in Lin Mo and betrayed her.

Wise people had to be responsible for their own lives, while foolish people had the same thoughts. They didn't even f * cking discuss it with her before selling the address to Lin Mo!

That darned Lin Mo, she still didn't know a lot of things about him. That man glared at Lu Jinfeng like a tiger, saying that he did it for true love, for Mo Qin, but his true goal, who knows what.
