Five years later, Mrs. Gu returned home with her child and became a wealthy family

Hearing Gu Jingheng's words, Mu Zijin's heart sank and her throat felt inexplicably dry.

She looked at Gu Jingheng with an ambiguous expression, and felt that the air was filled with the smell of alcohol, which seemed to be swallowing up her reason.

Mu Zijin shuddered at Gu Jingheng's voice. She looked away awkwardly: "Gu Jingheng, no one forced you to be a spare tire. Whether we are together or not is a matter of mutual affection."

"Are you going to force me to respond to you?"

Mu Zijin's words hit Gu Jingheng's heart hard. His eyes darkened, with a hint of sarcasm in them. Mu Zijin really knew how to hurt his heart.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he immediately pulled Mu Zijin away.

While she was originally sitting on his lap, Mu Zijin suddenly felt a force pulling her up, and then she stood beside Gu Jingheng.

Gu Jingheng picked up the wine glass on the table and was about to continue drinking, but when Gu Jingheng stretched out his hand, Mu Zijin clearly saw the blue veins on the back of his hand, and an unnatural blush had appeared on his handsome face.

Mu Zijin narrowed her eyes and reached out to grab Gu Jingheng's wine glass, but failed to take it away.

Gu Jingheng stared at their touching hands, his voice returning to its icy tone: "Mu Zijin, since you don't care about me, then you don't have to worry about me."

"Whether I live or die is none of your business."

Mu Zijin was so angry that she laughed. She bit her lip and couldn't help but said, "Gu Jingheng, why are you kidding me about your own body? You said it has nothing to do with me, but you are getting drunk here just because of me. If something really happens, do you think your Gu family will let me go?"

Mu Zijin's voice rushed into his ears, completely disrupting Gu Jingheng's thoughts.

Gu Jingheng frowned, his psychological defenses making a final struggle. He slowly clenched his wine glass and suppressed his low voice: "Mu Zijin, if you hadn't signed an agreement with my mother, would you be with me?"

With a bang, it was as if something exploded in Mu Zijin's mind. She looked at Gu Jingheng in disbelief with confused eyes.

Gu Jingheng actually knew?

She narrowed her eyes and tried to find her voice: "Gu Jingheng, do you know everything?"

Gu Jingheng frowned tightly, exuding a cool aura. "If you're worried about having to pay ten times the liquidated damages because you signed an agreement with my mother, I can handle this. Mu Zijin, be with me. I won't let you suffer any grievances."

Mu Zijin blurted out: "What do you like about me?"

Mu Zijin's words startled Gu Jingheng. He paused holding the wine glass and slowly raised his eyes to look at Mu Zijin.

Their eyes met in the air for a moment, and Mu Zijin continued softly, "Gu Jingheng, maybe your current liking is just a temporary interest, but in fact, we are not suitable. I have two children, and I need to find the biological father of the children to save Sui Sui. As long as I can save Sui Sui, I can do anything."

"The Gu family wants a wife who is of equal status. Whether in terms of family background, social status, or ideology and conduct, I do not meet your Gu family's standards. It is true that I married into the Gu family once, but that was also forced by Mu Tianzhu. He used my mother's relics to threaten me."

"So, Gu Jingheng, how can you ask me to go through the painful journey all over again? I've already been through it, why do you want me to repeat the same mistakes?"

"You don't need a wife who is a single mother with two kids."

Mu Zijin's eyes flickered as he spoke slowly.

Although the voice was gentle, every word pierced Gu Jingheng's heart.

Gu Jingheng pursed his lips and fell into silence.

Mu Zijin exerted a little force and snatched the wine glass. She looked at the many empty bottles on the table and put all the remaining bottles into the box. "As partners, I have the right to care about you. Mr. Gu, don't forget, we have the first meeting for the Tansheng project in three days."

"The Tansheng project is not only important to the Mu family..."
