Chapter 8: Huh? The Victim Is Actually You?
Supervising my writing?
You’ve got to be kidding! There’s no way I’d accept that!
Mu Yi absolutely refused to let her life be controlled by someone else again.
“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Gu, but I’m not in the mood to eat right now.”
She stood up.
As she moved, her coat opened slightly in the front. Under the thin white shirt, the curves of her chest, without the support of a bra, became clearly visible.
Very noticeable.
Yes, Mu Yi was missing a piece of clothing. She still couldn’t accept wearing women’s clothes.
“…”
Gu Zhiren frowned slightly, surprised.
Even though he didn’t quite understand, he felt he had to point it out.
“Miss…”
Hearing that, Mu Yi looked up at him, slightly confused. “Hm?”
“Under your clothes…”
At that moment, her mind went blank.
Huh?
Under…?
Is he talking about what I’m wearing?
Why bring that up all of a sudden?
Her thoughts rushed like waves.
Then she realized.
She wasn’t wearing a bra, she had never planned to! That’s why she wore a coat to cover herself.
She quickly looked down.
“Mm!”
Seeing her coat open, she hurriedly pulled it closed and sat back down.
“You… when did you…? Don’t tell me you noticed from the beginning?”
Her face turned bright red, partly from embarrassment and partly from panic at being seen.
“I told you as soon as I noticed.”
Gu Zhiren rested his hands on the table, lightly tapping his fingers together, looking somewhat innocent.
“…Okay.”
Mu Yi gritted her teeth and replied.
Maybe she really shouldn’t have forced herself like this… Maybe she should have bought one after all?
She used to be a man, so she understood very well. This kind of thing was one of the most basic human desires.
Even more so, seeing it through a thin shirt could make it even more eye-catching.
Damn it, why did heaven give her such a large chest?!
What if she accidentally attracted trouble?
Thinking this, she quickly turned her head away and bit her lip.
It was the first time in her life she had felt this kind of discomfort.
But strangely, deep down, there was also a different kind of feeling.
Because she had become a girl, and a very attractive one, these worries appeared.
And then, she suddenly realized something.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Wait… it’s just the two of us here. What if this guy suddenly loses control?!
“Miss Mu Shuang, I’ll have someone take you home. If you go outside like this…”
Before he could finish, Mu Yi blurted out nervously.
“Pervert!”
“Ah…”
Gu Zhiren raised an eyebrow and calmly looked her up and down, a faint, meaningful smile appearing on his lips.
“Uh… I…”
Mu Yi quickly realized she had said something wrong. But when she saw him stand up with a small smile, her attempt to explain got stuck in her throat.
“Miss, I hope you at least understand one thing… I’m the real victim here.”
With that, Gu Zhiren walked toward the door, opened it, then paused and glanced back at Mu Yi, who was still sitting there, frozen.
“You can choose to go back by yourself, but I don’t know what might happen on the way, it's already almost ten at night. I’m not sure how safe the streets are around here.”
Glancing at his watch, Gu Zhiren gave a faint, meaningful smile as he reminded her.
Hearing this, Mu Yi thought for less than two seconds before suddenly standing up. With her head lowered, she turned and walked toward him.
Gu Zhiren didn’t wait. He stepped out of the private room first, a confident smile on his handsome face, casually adjusting his cufflinks with his left hand.
He moved with a strong presence.
……………………
At the entrance of the restaurant.
“Xiao Xi, sorry to bother you during your rest. Come over to Xinhai Grand Hotel now. There’s a lady here who needs you to escort her home.”
After saying that, Gu Zhiren glanced at the girl beside him with a strange look.
She was clearly very cautious.
It was like she had invisible ears on her head, ready to react at the slightest movement.
Just as he was thinking that, the “ears” on the white-haired girl seemed to stand up, and she suddenly turned her head.
Their eyes met.
Gu Zhiren calmly looked away and stared straight ahead again, acting as if nothing had happened.
Relaxed posture. Steady gaze.
Mu Yi didn’t know what he was thinking. She was still bothered by what he had said earlier.
Huh?
The victim?
You’re the victim?!
She held her frustration inside, feeling uncomfortable.
The last time she met someone this annoying… well, it felt like it wasn’t that long ago.
……………………
The assistant Xiao Xi arrived quickly.
Mu Yi didn’t hesitate and got into the car right away.
Gu Zhiren, on the other hand, walked alone to the parking area and got into his own luxury car.
He didn’t like others touching his things, and he didn’t allow strangers into his car. That was one of the reasons he had called his assistant.
More importantly, he didn’t want unnecessary trouble with people who didn’t matter to him.
Compared to social connections, Gu Zhiren cared more about business benefits.
But after sitting in the car for a moment, he thought back to what had just happened and couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.
It was the first time he had met a girl like that.
“How did I end up meeting someone so strange?”
Turning the steering wheel, he drove out of the parking area and soon returned home.
Gu Anran, who had come home early, was sitting in the living room with their parents watching TV.
As soon as he walked in, the elegant woman smiled warmly and called him over to sit. The middle-aged man beside her also smiled, while Gu Anran looked curious and eager for gossip.
“Brother, what did Mu Shuang say?”
“Hm?” Gu Zhiren adjusted his cufflinks and sat beside his mother, turning his head toward Gu Anran. “It’s settled. I’ll find time to meet your author. But you, weren’t you feeling unwell?”
“I’m fine now. I drank some warm water, and I feel much better.”
After replying, Gu Anran clapped her hands happily. “I knew my brother is the best! I’ll leave my author to you!”
Gu Zhiren just smiled without saying anything.
“Zhiren, I don’t mind you helping Anran with her authors, but…” his mother began.
Before she could finish, he interrupted, “Mom, I know. My main focus is still the company.”
Hearing this, his mother nodded in satisfaction, her eyes narrowing slightly with a smile. “I know. You’ve never made your father and me worry since you were young.”
Gu Zhiren still just smiled quietly, casually picking up an orange from the table.
Before he could peel it completely, his father spoke seriously:
“As the chairman of the Gu Group, I don’t suggest you spend too much energy elsewhere. You’re still handling the Luohai Commercial Building project. There are many things you need to pay attention to, especially your competitors this time.”
“Remember last year’s coastal tourism project? You didn’t hold back at all. Their stock price dropped for three months straight, they almost went bankrupt. This time, you need to be more careful.”
Gu Zhiren slowly peeled the orange, listening quietly like a well-behaved son. After finishing, he still didn’t eat it right away.
“Don’t worry, Dad. I’m determined to win the Luohai Commercial Building project.”
As he said this, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes showed a bit of confidence and pride.
“Zhiren always knows what he’s doing. I believe he can handle it. But Zhiren, your personal life is also important. If you meet someone you like…”
Before his mother could finish, he suddenly took out his phone, and then he smiled.
Gu Mom, Gu Dad, Gu Anran: ???
