C4 There Was a Show

After he said that, my attitude softened, and I replied, "Let me think about it."

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Muh Linfeng's eyes lit up, and a smile spread across his face. "Alright, honey, think it over carefully. Don't let me down," he said, raising his phone as he headed for the door. Before leaving, he gently kissed my forehead and patted my shoulder.

I stood up, ignoring the pain in my foot, and rummaged through the drawer to find some ointment. As I applied it, the numbing effect kicked in, sending a chill from my foot straight to my heart.

Muh Linfeng is my husband. Three years ago, he pursued me with such passion and loyalty. When I decided to leave behind my fast-paced life and marry him, ready to be a homemaker, he gradually became distant. About a year ago, he started coming home less often, and even when he did, he was cold and rarely affectionate, as if we were just strangers sharing a house. Our marriage began to feel like a mere formality.

For some reason, I started to worry about our marriage. Today, Muh Linfeng's sudden affection and request made me waver. Helping him might also help me. I'll support him this time with the company dinner. Maybe once the company's crisis is over, our marriage will return to its former happiness.

After sorting out my thoughts, I quickly bandaged my wound and limped out the door.

As I reached the entrance of Muh Linfeng's office, I took a deep breath, clenched my fists, and decided to seize the moment to agree with him before I lost my nerve. Without looking up, I walked in, only to bump right into someone. I looked up and saw the face of Mu Chengyang!

He held me tightly.

This sudden closeness wasn't out of affection, but rather for his own gain.

Mu Chengyang hadn't intended to catch me, but my involuntary gasp of pain caught his attention. He looked me over and suddenly pulled me closer.

Holding me tightly, he gave me a teasing look and said with a sly smile, "It's been a while. Did you miss me so much that you're following my every move?" His face was getting dangerously close to mine.

Panicking, I pushed away from Mu Chengyang's embrace, only to see Muh Linfeng stepping out from behind the glass door.

I was worried that Muh Linfeng might have misunderstood the situation and wanted to explain quickly. To my surprise, he didn't show any signs of displeasure. Instead, he wore a flattering smile and greeted Mu Chengyang warmly, saying, "Mr. Chengyang, it's a great honor to speak with you today..."

Mu Chengyang didn't pay much attention to Muh Linfeng, just looked at me with a teasing smile and said, "Oh? Is that so?"

Seeing this, Muh Linfeng quickly added, "So, Mr. Mu knows our company's PR representative, Ximo. What a coincidence." He chuckled awkwardly on the side.

I glanced at Muh Linfeng, indifferent to the title he casually assigned me.

Mu Chengyang seemed to think I was deliberately avoiding his gaze, playing hard to get. With a cold and unreasonable tone, he demanded, "Oh, then let your company's PR representative see me off."

I wasn't keen on getting tangled up with him again, especially after he had trampled on my dignity three years ago.

However, Muh Linfeng hastily agreed on my behalf, saying, "Of course, we'll see you off." He gave me a pointed look.

Reluctantly, I followed Mu Chengyang to the door, feeling unsteady due to an injury on my foot, almost stumbling.

Mu Chengyang glanced at me with a mocking smile and said, "What, do you want me to help you?"

I couldn't be bothered to respond, staying silent, though I found it amusing. Mu Chengyang, I'm long past being infatuated with you.
