Chapter 790 The Sister Who Was Shackled Because She Wasn't Sent Away (16)
Their conversation kept echoing uncontrollably in Shen Yan's mind.
Mu Zhou refused the dress he offered, but wore the one Fu Ci had chosen for her instead.
He recalled the stunning beauty he had seen Mu Zhou earlier that day.
At this moment, I only feel irony.
Shen Yan's lips were tightly pressed together, and the ferocity in his eyes was raging wildly.
The intimate scene of the two of them entwined their necks was deeply etched in his mind, almost driving him crazy.
I can't even imagine what the two of them did in the room at that moment.
He desperately wanted to smash the door down right then and there.
But reason prevailed for a moment.
he can not.
With his current abilities, he has no way to snatch Mu Zhou away from Fu Ci.
A deep hatred spread through my heart.
Heaven treated him unfairly.
Why did she end up meeting Mu Zhou, only to have him witness this scene?
Shen Yan stood silently for a long time before stiffly leaving.
*
Mu Zhou did not attend the latter half of the celebration banquet.
She left early.
The wound on her lip was too embarrassing for her to show her face.
Thinking of this, she became unusually a little temperamental.
Seeing that the road didn't lead back to her home, she frowned slightly.
"I want to go home."
Her soft, sweet tone, combined with her delicate expressions, made Fu Ci's heart ache.
He pulled Mu Zhou back into his arms.
"Why won't you come to my place? Are you angry?"
Seeing that she avoided his gaze and refused to look at him, Fu Ci had no choice but to soften his voice and coax her:
"It's my fault, I'll be more lenient next time."
Before she could react, he lowered his head and captured her lips, gently sucking on them:
"How about this next time? Is it gentle enough? Or do you want it even gentler?"
His demeanor successfully angered Mu Zhou once again.
She struggled to get out of Fu Ci's embrace.
But although his arm looked loosely draped around her waist, she couldn't actually break free no matter how hard she struggled.
Mu Zhou sensed something was amiss from the slightest movement.
She froze instantly.
Seeing her shrink back into a quail-like shape, Fu Ci swallowed hard and tightened his grip slightly.
"Stop messing with me, I don't have that much self-control with you."
shameless.
Mu Zhou silently complained in his heart, but ultimately didn't dare to move again.
Fu Ci smiled with satisfaction.
He rested his chin on her shoulder, feeling both tormented and satisfied.

Mu Zhou went to a client's company to discuss business.
I originally thought the contract would be tricky, but it turned out to be very easy to secure.
This order was not related to Fu Ci, so Mu Zhou was somewhat surprised that everything went so smoothly.
But having finally gotten through to the other party, she felt much more relaxed.
After signing the contract, the other party wanted her to stay for lunch. Mu Zhou saw that it was almost noon, so she agreed.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, before she even entered, the manager who had been liaising with Mu Zhou received a phone call and then said to her:
"Manager Mu, I need to make an international call. Why don't you go up first? It's the Moon Viewing Room on the third floor. I'll be there shortly."
Their line of work often involves international phone calls, so Mu Zhou didn't think much of it.
She was led to the third floor by the waiter.
The words "Viewing the Moon" are engraved on the heavy wooden door.
It does have a certain elegance.
The waiter quietly left after opening the door.
Mu Zhou entered the private room without any precautions, and as soon as she looked up, she saw the man leaning against the window.
She paused, and the door behind her had already closed.
The man leaned against the wall with his head down.
The shadows cast an indescribable sharpness over his gentle features.
Mu Zhou's face darkened, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, turning to leave.
There were rapid footsteps behind him.
Shen Yan grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the door.
Mu Zhou was startled and stared at him blankly.
Those eyes that always smiled when they looked at her were now like cold iron that had been tempered with ice.
Mu Zhou raised his hand to stand between the two, glaring at him angrily.
"what are you doing?"
Shen Yan's face was grim, and when he spoke, his voice trembled almost uncontrollably:
Did he force you?
Mu Zhou pushed him hard in the chest:
"What are you saying? My friend is coming soon, let me go!"
Shen Yan coldly curled the corner of his mouth:
"You mean the person in charge of Dongfeng Group? Zhouzhou, why do you think I'm here?"
Mu Zhou froze.
She instantly recalled the smooth signing of the contract earlier that day, and the sudden phone call from the person in charge downstairs.
"It's you?"
She looked at him in disbelief.
Shen Yan originally didn't want her to know these things.
She wanted to work hard, and he silently supported her.
However, after learning of Fu Ci's existence, he could no longer continue to be an unknown black knight.
He has loved Mu Zhou for so many years, how could Mu Zhou choose another man?
He has investigated everything thoroughly in the past few days.
They knew each other for a short time.
Then there's only one possibility: Fu Ci forced her.
He insisted on getting an answer from Mu Zhou.
"Did he force you into your relationship with Fu Ci?"
Hearing Fu Ci from him surprised Mu Zhou.
However, she hadn't originally intended to hide it, so since he asked, she might as well tell him.
"No, he didn't force me."
"I do not believe!"
Shen Yan lost control and used a little more force, but when he saw Mu Zhou wince in pain, his expression changed instantly.
He quickly loosened his grip, controlling his strength, but still refused to let go.
“Mu Zhou, he is my uncle, a member of the Fu family. You don’t understand him at all. He is ruthless and cold-blooded. He only cares about interests. He could never love you.”
Mu Zhou expressed his dissatisfaction with his slander:
"He's not like that at all; he's a good person."
This further agitated Shen Yan.
Why is Mu Zhou so sympathetic to that man?
Mingming and Fu Ci had only known each other for a short time, but they were childhood sweethearts and had a deep bond.
Why?
He gripped Mu Zhou's shoulders, his eyes bloodshot, and he almost blurted out incoherently:
"What he can give you, I can give you too: cooperation, a house, a car—I can provide everything you want. And my love will certainly be more impressive than his!"
He clenched his teeth, his whole demeanor almost insane.
Mu Zhou was so frightened by his state that she pressed herself tightly against the door, her long eyelashes trembling in fear.
Shen Yan felt both heartache and pain as she watched.
He wanted to wipe away the tears welling up in her eyes, but Mu Zhou dodged away as if she were avoiding a flood or a ferocious beast.
His heart was almost twisted, and the shadow that flashed across his eyes made him look even more gloomy.
"You like him that much? What is it about him that I don't like?"
Mu Zhou suppressed her fear and anger, staring directly at him:
"Because of Lin Xi, because you had a relationship with Lin Xi, I feel disgusted. I will never want anything that Lin Xi has touched again. I can never be with you!"
Mu Zhou didn't want to cry, but her voice still choked with sobs.
Those eyes, which were always gentle and docile, now held a hint of hatred:
"Shen Yan, unless I die, I will never have anything to do with anyone who has been tainted by Lin Xi again. In this life, I never want to have anything to do with Lin Xi again."
Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing deeply into Shen Yan's heart.
At that moment, he finally understood.
Lin Xi's existence was like a malignant tumor, forever standing between them.
