Chapter 58: Gossip

Mu Chen held Song Ning’s hand. “Are you feeling sick? I’ll ask the doctor to come over and take a look.”

Following that, he touched Song Ning’s forehead with the back of his hand. She did not have a fever, but her forehead was cold to the touch.

Song Ning grabbed Mu Chen’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I want to sleep for a while. You don’t have to stay with me; you can deal with your work. Moreover, I won’t be able to calm down if you’re here. I’ll call you when I wake up.” She spoke with great difficulty as though she was enduring excruciating pain.

Mu Chen rubbed her hand as he said, “Okay, I won’t disturb you.”

He covered Song Ning with a quilt and did as she asked. He knew she was calm and independent. After walking out of the lounge, he saw the secretary entering his office.

“Mr. Mu, Mr. Ye is waiting for you in the restaurant downstairs.”

Mu Chen nodded, glanced at the door of the lounge, and said to the secretary, “My wife is resting in the lounge. Please keep an eye on her. When she wakes up, call me immediately.”

The secretary concealed her surprise and nodded in response.

While Mu Chen was in the elevator, Ye Cheng called him. However, he did not answer Ye Cheng’s call. When he found Ye Cheng in the restaurant, his phone was still ringing.

Ye Cheng asked with a hint of helplessness, “Hey, don’t you think you’re crossing the line, Mu Chen?”

Mu Chen took a seat across from Ye Cheng.

After Ye Cheng put his phone down on the table, he said in a nosy tone, “Hey, if you’d arrived ten minutes earlier, you would’ve been able to watch a good show.”

Mu Chen raised an eyebrow and poured himself a cup of tea as he waited for Ye Cheng to continue.

Ye Cheng leaned forward and said, “Guess who I just saw.” However, when he saw the expression on Mu Chen’s face, he knew Mu Chen had no intention of answering him. After all, Mu Chen was much more serious, unlike Cheng Che. Therefore, he continued to say with a chuckle, “Ning Zhe! He was pestering a young woman! I didn’t expect the calm and prudent Ning Zhe is actually a veteran in love. Moreover, his target is a girl in her twenties!”

Ye Cheng clicked his tongue before he continued to say, “We, young people, truly can’t hold a candle to these old people. You and I are both so handsome and rich, and yet, we still struggle to find a good partner. On the other hand, the older generation is targeting twenty-five-year-olds. I really can’t believe this.”

Mu Chen took a sip of his tea and calmly said, “You’re the only one who’s struggling to find a good partner. I have a great wife.”

Shocked by Mu Chen’s words, Ye Cheng choked on tea and coughed violently. He hurriedly grabbed a napkin and wiped his mouth as he stared at Mu Chen resentfully. How embarrassing for him to lose his composure in such a place. Alas, the culprit that made him choke on his tea continued to calmly and indifferently drink his tea. After a moment, he said, “Mu Chen, your standards are too low!”

“It’s none of your business,” Mu Chen said as he picked up a piece of wet wipes and wiped his hands.

Ye Cheng picked his teacup up and took a sip before he pointed at Mu Chen. “You’re really serious? My family is in chaos because of you, and yet, you’re still calmly drinking tea as if nothing has happened. Mu Chen, this is all your fault!”

At this moment, a waiter brought over the food that Ye Cheng had ordered.

Mu Chen picked up the teapot and refilled Ye Cheng’s cup. He waited for the waiter to leave before he asked, “Are you here to settle accounts with me?”

“Of course! Don’t act dumb! Tell me what happened. Why did you get married all of a sudden?” Ye Cheng said as he cut his steak.

Mu Chen ate a spoon of the salad in front of him. Then, he said, “My grandma kept throwing tantrums and insisted that I must get married. Initially, I planned to register a marriage just to placate my grandma. Since the marriage would be legally binding, I planned to find someone with whom I’m familiar to put on an act. I spoke to Ye Xin about this at that time, but she refused me because she had her own concerns. Therefore, I found someone else. However, I’ve fallen in love with my wife, and I’m working hard to court her now so that we won’t only be husband and wife in name!”

Ye Cheng tapped his fork against his plate before he asked tentatively, “So it was love at first sight?”

Mu Chen mulled over Ye Cheng’s words for a moment before he replied, “No, I was destined to fall in love with her…”

Ye Cheng clicked his tongue before he solemnly said, “Mu Chen, I understand that you’re angry with my sister. I admit that my sister is too stubborn and needs to be taught a lesson. However, don’t you think you’ve crossed the line? However, lovers should solve their fights privately. Getting a third person involved will only complicate things. You shouldn’t have dragged an innocent bystander into this.”

Mu Chen raised an eyebrow as he looked at Ye Cheng and said, “Ye Cheng, why are you under the impression that I like your sister? With my bluntness, I would’ve told you a long time ago if that was the case. My grandmother was so desperate for me to get married that she had to resort to threatening me. If I really liked your sister, would things escalate to this point?”

Ye Cheng was dumbfounded. “But Mu Chen, you’ve always been nice to Xin!”

Mu Chen looked at him disdainfully as though he was looking at an idiot as he said, “Isn’t that because she’s your sister? Of course, I’d be more polite to her. However, just because I’m nice to her doesn’t mean that I like her. The Mu Group has thousands of female employees, and I treat all of them well. Based on your logic, I should have a harem by now.”

Upon hearing these words, Ye Cheng felt a headache coming on. “No, Mu Chen, it’s not the same. You…”
