Chapter 104#
The Villain’s Camp#
“Qin Mu, you like me!”
Qin Mu was slightly dazed for a moment. In the next breath, he raised both hands and cupped Jian Yunchen’s face in return.
The soft flesh of his cheeks was squeezed by Qin Mu’s palms. Qin Mu rubbed and kneaded them unceremoniously with great force. Jian Yunchen glared at him in dissatisfaction, withdrawing his own hands to place them on Qin Mu’s wrists instead.
“Jian Yunchen.” The surroundings were so quiet that not even the sound of the wind could be heard; only the heartbeats of the two men gradually fell into sync.
Qin Mu looked down at him. At some point, his kneading hands turned gentle, his thumb pads lightly stroking Jian Yunchen’s cheeks. Qin Mu lowered his head to touch his forehead against the other’s. Their breathing slowed, gradually intertwining.
When he spoke, his voice was soft and carried an air of extreme tenderness in the night.
“Don’t be so arrogant.”
Jian Yunchen blinked and looked up at him.
Qin Mu didn’t deny it.
He secretly curled the corners of his mouth, tilted his head back, and leaned in.
Touching those soft lips again, Jian Yunchen actually felt an impulse to cry.
He raised his hands to hook around Qin Mu’s neck, his lips lightly brushing against the other’s. Qin Mu hesitated for only a second before pressing down forcefully in the next.
“Mm…” The soft moan was swallowed whole. Jian Yunchen’s head kept retreating under the deep kiss, but Qin Mu firmly held the small of his back, chasing after him.
He lightly bit Jian Yunchen’s lip. Jian Yunchen’s body trembled violently, and his eyes gradually grew misty.
Qin Mu pulled back slightly, looking at the faint teeth marks on the slightly swollen lips, his eyes darkening.
He slowly lowered his head, hooking his nose against Jian Yunchen’s. Jian Yunchen slowly raised his head, the watery sheen in his eyes sparkling in the dim light. Qin Mu grabbed his wrist, pulled him into his arms, and continued to taste him.
The intimate, lingering sound of the kiss echoed in their ears. Hearing it made Jian Yunchen’s ears burn; a deep flush spread from his cheeks to his neck, constantly radiating heat in the cold night.
After an unknown amount of time, Jian Yunchen’s breathing became ragged. Qin Mu parted his lips slightly, his hot hand still firmly pressing against the back of Jian Yunchen’s head, refusing to let him retreat even an inch.
As he spoke, Qin Mu’s lips brushed against his almost imperceptibly. His low, magnetic voice carried a hint of coaxing: “Come home with me, okay?”
Jian Yunchen’s eyelashes trembled slightly as he looked down, hiding the expression in his eyes.
His violent heartbeat had not calmed down with time; instead, it grew more intense.
He felt the rapid surge of his blood and the joy deep within his heart that was impossible to ignore.
He gave a soft nod.
The next day, when Wen Xing entered the office, he once again keenly noticed that something was off.
If the last time’s Qin Mu was a cat that had eaten its fill…
Then today’s Qin Mu was like a peacock desperately fanning its tail.
A sense of ease and pleasure that couldn’t be hidden hung around his brow. His naturally alluring peach blossom eyes were nourished with a moist smile, becoming gentle and affectionate. The corners of his eyes tilted up slightly, as if they held a pool of spring water.
The upward curve of his lips was extremely intriguing. One look and anyone could tell this person was in a fantastic mood.
Wen Xing paused for a moment before walking forward without shifting his gaze, reciting the company’s daily work schedule as usual.
Qin Mu lowered his eyes with little interest. Propping up his face with his hand, his mind was full of the “kitten” at home who hadn’t woken up yet.
When he finished reading, Wen Xing looked at Qin Mu’s distracted appearance and sighed softly.
He switched to another matter: “President Qin, Tang Rong has been caught. He is currently being detained for investigation.”
Qin Mu lifted his eyelids to glance at him and gave a long “Oh.”
“Will he…” Wen Xing was a bit hesitant. Qin Mu had cut off the man’s retreat so cleanly; even a cornered rabbit will bite.
“He won’t.” Qin Mu propped up his cheek, his tone casual. “His son is studying abroad right now? As long as Tang Rong still wants his son to continue his studies peacefully, he won’t say a word.”
Hearing this, Wen Xing inexplicably felt like they belonged to the villain’s camp in a TV drama.
He pursed his lips and took out his phone, clicking on the entry at the top of the trending searches.
After some time to ferment, the two terms “Jiang Sheng” and “Surrogacy” had finally been combined.
It had caused a massive uproar on the internet.
Qin Mu took the phone, his finger sliding slightly as he looked at the high level of heat and the heated discussions among the netizens below. He slowly curled his lips.
Everything was proceeding smoothly.
It was just…
Qin Mu’s finger paused, looking somewhat troubled.
It was just that after the “kitten” at home woke up, he would probably bristle. He didn’t know how he would have to coax him then.
Qin Mu frowned slightly, but a clear smile hung in his eyes.
It was truly a sweet trouble.
A man slammed his hand on the table with a loss of control. The veins on his forehead stood out, and his cold, handsome face twisted for a moment due to anger. His lips pressed down, his eyes full of gloom as he shouted angrily:
“What do you mean there’s no way to take it down? What did I hire you all for? To eat free meals at the company? Now that the company has negative news, you tell me there’s no way?!”
The people in the PR department didn’t dare to breathe, forced to brave Jiang Sheng’s fury.
The person in charge explained with a trembling voice: “President Jiang… we’ve been trying to pull the trending searches all night… but the person behind this is even harder to deal with than we imagined. Moreover, this matter has already attracted public attention… there’s… there’s simply no time.”
For the president of a listed company to have such a huge scandal, the company’s shares fell even harder than he had imagined.
What was hanging on the trending searches were not just photos, but even clear videos.
The footage clearly showed Jiang Yunhan entering a derelict nursing home. The sounds of conflict coming from inside were chaotic and disordered. Less than half an hour later, he walked out with bloodshot eyes.
Shortly afterward, a thin woman, covered up tightly, was pushed out in a wheelchair in a state of semi-consciousness.
With such a clear chain of evidence, there was no way to whitewash it.
Whether the person behind this was targeting Jiang Sheng or Jiang Yunhan, they had actually followed the clues to find the woman’s real name.
In this highly developed internet age, it took only a moment for the contrast between Jian Xin’s elegant beauty in her youth and her current pale, sickly appearance to be drawn.
Under the manipulation of an invisible hand, part of the woman’s past was hidden, and the roles were suddenly reversed. She became a pitiful woman who was coerced by Jiang Sheng and even driven to a dead end.
Now, she was being detained by Jiang Sheng for various ridiculous reasons and subjected to mental torture.
Such a thing happening in modern society was simply unheard of and inconceivable.
The terms related to “Jian Xin,” “Jiang Sheng,” and “Jiang Yunhan” exploded with massive discussion.
These three names were paired in various ways and occupied almost an entire page of the trending searches.
The situation was completely one-sided, with everyone sympathizing with the pitiful woman and condemning the man who bullied others with his power.
The stocks for “Jiang Ming” had been plummeting since the morning. The dim green light reflected on Jiang Sheng’s angry face, looking exceptionally eerie.
His fingertips tightened. Seeing the increasingly outrageous discussions on the trending searches, his eyes turned red with fury.
Jiang Sheng suddenly smashed his phone onto the ground. The massive impact caused the screen to shatter instantly, and the display went dark in the next second.
Everyone held their breath, lowering their heads and not daring to speak.
Jiang Sheng stood up abruptly and walked out aggressively, his movements bringing a sharp gust of wind as he passed by.
