However, what she just said to Gong Juncheng will definitely have some impact on him.

So all she needs to do is wait quietly.

When dealing with Mu Ya'an and Gong Juncheng, it is essential to remain calm, otherwise you may find yourself in a difficult situation.

Reina glanced at the already disconnected call, a cold smile flashing in her eyes.

Given all the problems between Gong Juncheng and Mu Ya'an, even if they get back together, they certainly won't find happiness.

......

Mu Ya'an saw that Gong Juncheng was still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window after hanging up the phone.

His expression was cold and somber, seemingly carrying a hint of heaviness.

Upon seeing this, Mu Ya'an's eyes changed slightly, her expression became serious, she got up from the sofa, walked to Gong Juncheng's side, and said softly with a faint smile on her face.

"Juncheng, what's wrong?"

Her voice was low and soft, and her tone was much more natural and calm than before.

She had already figured out how to bring it up with Gong Juncheng.

Gong Juncheng looked down at the little woman in front of him, who was trying to please him. His expression gradually turned cold and stern. He stared at Mu Ya'an and said in a deep voice.

"nothing."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an pursed her lips.

For some reason, it seemed like Gong Juncheng's aura changed after he answered Rui Na's call.

She took a deep breath, a strange feeling rising in her heart. She wondered if Reina had told Gong Juncheng something that had caused him to become like this.

Her expression darkened, her gaze falling on Gong Juncheng, and she bit her lip inwardly.

"Juncheng, there's something I want to talk to you about."

Gong Juncheng watched her struggle to speak, his expression remaining largely unchanged.

Those deep, cold, dark eyes stared at her coldly.

Although Mu Ya'an felt a little sad, she suppressed these unusual feelings, took a deep breath, and spoke softly.

“I heard that my parents’ wedding keepsakes have appeared on the black market.”

As she spoke, she looked up at Gong Juncheng, carefully observing his expression, and whispered.

“I know you have excellent connections in this area. I need you to investigate the current situation of ‘Chiba’. Only by finding the person behind the auction of Chiba can I find out about my parents.”

She looked at Gong Juncheng with hopeful eyes, hoping that he could help her.

However, Gong Juncheng's expression was unusually cold.

His eyes were devoid of any emotion; he simply stared at her coldly.

Looking at Gong Juncheng's indifference, Mu Ya'an took a deep breath, moved her lips, and was about to say something when she heard Gong Juncheng speak in an exceptionally cold tone.

"Mu Ya'an, didn't I tell you that it's best not to ask me for help with your Mu family's affairs?"

Mu Ya'an was stunned when she heard the voice.

Gong Juncheng looked at Mu Ya'an with a cold and sharp gaze, his expression stern, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Mu family's affairs have nothing to do with me. I don't know about them, and I certainly won't help you."

Mu Ya'an lowered her head, not daring to mention the matter again.

Gong Juncheng saw Mu Ya'an lower her head, not daring to mention the matter again.

The grievance in her eyes, the moment she lowered her head, was caught by Gong Juncheng.

His deep eyes narrowed sharply, as if he had remembered something, and his face was filled with hostility.

He reached out, lifted Mu Ya'an's chin, and forced Mu Ya'an to look at him.

Why don't you dare look at me?

Mu Ya'an took a deep breath and was forced to look up at the handsome man in front of her, feeling a chill in her heart.

She quickly regained control of her expression and said in a low voice.

"Juncheng, I'm sorry, I've probably been relying on you too much lately, so whenever something happens, I really want to ask you for help."

Mu Ya'an knew that Rui Na must have said something to Gong Juncheng.

That's why Gong Juncheng's attitude towards her suddenly changed like this.

There were already many problems between her and Gong Juncheng.

So now, any extra word from others is enough to overturn the feelings she has painstakingly cultivated over this period of time.

She took a deep breath, her expression becoming more somber.

Gong Juncheng looked at Mu Ya'an with a cold gaze, then said sternly.

"Mu Ya'an, you really want 'Chiba'?"

Upon hearing Gong Juncheng's words, Mu Ya'an paused for a moment, and after a long while, she nodded gently.

Yes, she really wanted "Chiba".

This was, after all, her mother's property.

Moreover, once she acquires "Chiba," she will be able to contact the person who currently owns "Chiba," and she may very well obtain some information that she has always wanted to know.

She knew that her eyes could never deceive Gong Juncheng.

So it's better to just admit it now.

Looking at Mu Ya'an's current candid demeanor, Gong Juncheng's eyes flashed with mockery, and his gaze turned cold and sharp. He then spoke in a deep voice.

"Mu Ya'an, I can give you anything you want, as long as it has nothing to do with the Mu family."

“I will absolutely not give you Chiba. Even if I know anything about Chiba, I will not tell you, so just give up.”

After saying this, Gong Juncheng released Mu Ya'an's chin, turned around and left, no longer speaking to Mu Ya'an.

Mu Ya'an stood blankly in front of the French windows for a long time, watching Gong Juncheng's figure go upstairs from the living room, and her expression became melancholy.

She knew that Gong Juncheng would definitely be very averse to anything from the Mu family.

But deep down, she still held a strong hope that Gong Juncheng could help her.

In retrospect, she had trusted Gong Juncheng far too much during this period.

She was also too confident, thinking that she held a significant place in Gong Juncheng's heart.

However, Gong Juncheng's calmness in the face of these events drew a clear line between them, which Mu Ya'an found somewhat unbearable.

At the same time, she also knew her true status in front of Gong Juncheng.

They can have feelings for each other, but they cannot involve anything related to the Mu family.

Mu Ya'an took a deep breath to calm herself down, rubbed her temples, and her phone rang.

She saw that it was her grandfather calling her, and the worries that had just faded away suddenly surged back into her heart.

Mu Ya'an glanced at her phone intently, but instead of answering, she walked over and silenced it, wanting to find some peace and quiet.

When it was time for dinner, Mu Ya'an was about to go upstairs to call Gong Juncheng down to eat, but the man changed his clothes and left right in front of her. Throughout the whole process, they didn't exchange a single word.
