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

Mu Zijin's face was confused and she stared at Gu Jingheng in a daze.

"You...what do you want to do?"

"Someone was just outside like a little mouse. He probably couldn't hear anything by eavesdropping. If you want to know something, why not ask me directly? I'll tell you everything."

Mu Zijin shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be calm. "I didn't eavesdrop. I just came here to talk to you about the Tansheng project, away from the kids."

Gu Jingheng's eyes darkened, his expression returning to its mysterious state. "What's the problem with the Tansheng project?"

"It's not that there's a problem. Tomorrow is the first meeting. The two companies need to sit together to discuss the project progress. Gu's executives have informed me that I need to go to Gu's for the meeting. Can you guarantee that our current relationship will not affect our work?"

Hearing Mu Zijin's words, Gu Jingheng's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Mu Zijin with dark eyes.

"In your eyes, am I this kind of person?"

He wasn't so petty as to hinder Mu Zijin in her career just because she didn't respond to his feelings.

The aura around Gu Jingheng became cold, and even his words were cold: "Mu Zijin, this worry is unnecessary. I'm not so idle as to make things difficult for you."

Mu Zijin blinked: "I'm afraid that you... are unwilling to cooperate with me."

"Why, if we can't be lovers, do we have to be enemies?"

He recognized Mu Zijin's work ability. In fact, Gu Jingheng vaguely felt that the work ability Mu Zijin showed now was not her full strength.

If he develops it well, maybe Mu Zijin can give him more surprises.

Although Mu Zijin is now the president of Mu Corporation, it does not prevent the two companies from achieving mutual benefit and win-win results.

If the Mu family had the protection of the towering Gu family, their development would not encounter any major difficulties or obstacles.

Mu Zijin pursed her lips. Gu Jingheng's words made her seem like a petty person.

She took the initiative to apologize: "That was my fault. I thought Mr. Gu was too stingy. Mr. Gu is very generous. Can you please not hold it against me?"

Gu Jingheng couldn't help laughing when he saw her cute appearance.

He raised his hand and pinched Mu Zijin's cheek, and when his fingers touched her, Mu Zijin's whole body suddenly sounded an alarm.

She immediately looked at Gu Jingheng warily, "Gu Jingheng, don't forget what we agreed upon."

Gu Jingheng stared at her eyes with a burning gaze, and that scorching look seemed to be able to swallow up Mu Zijin's reason.

The air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, which was constantly lingering around Mu Zijin.

Mu Zijin couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

She lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them.

"Why don't you drink tonight? Are you afraid that I will bully you after you drink?"

Gu Jingheng's words hit Mu Zijin right between the eyebrows. Mu Zijin licked her lips and said, "Mr. Gu, you're overthinking it. I never drink when I have work to do tomorrow, so as not to delay things."

"This also proves my importance to the Tansheng project."

Mu Zijin took the opportunity to show her favor in front of the client's father.

Gu Jingheng opened his lips slightly and said, "Even if you don't take it that seriously, I won't blame you, Mu Zijin. You don't have to worry about the Tansheng project slipping away from you. It's just a project. We still have a long way to go."

Mu Zijin frowned immediately: "Boss Gu, this concept is wrong. The cooperation between our Mu Group and Gu Group is only possible because Mu Group has enough strength to conquer your Gu Group, not because of me."

"If you're doing this purely because of me, then I'd rather find another project on my own to save the Mu Group. I don't like having any dirty dealings with the client, and I don't want people to spread rumors that I'm selling my body to get to the top."

Gu Jingheng's face darkened and he gritted his teeth: "Mu Zijin, do you feel ashamed that I'm pursuing you? Does it bother you?"

Mu Zijin blinked her eyes. "There's nothing about me that Mr. Gu likes. He just had a temporary interest in me. If he relaxes and takes a good look at other people, maybe he'll find someone new to fall in love with."
