The atmosphere was stiflingly gloomy in the car. Mu Tingchen’s dark eyes resembled now the night in deep winter. Feeling great pressure, Fang Ze, who was sitting in the front of the car, dared not breathe.

Full of despair, Fang Ze tossed his trembling eyes toward the rearview mirror.

It was the first time that Mu had lost his temper so much since that incident three years ago.

But then …

“Tick -”

Fang Ze’s phone rang untimely at the moment, making him hurriedly took out his phone, only to have it slip out of his hand because of his nervousness and fell to the ground.

The ring continued, with Fang Ze wis.h.i.+ng to die on the spot.

d.a.m.n it, which idiot was it that chose such a bad time to call?

No sooner had he picked up his phone in a hurry and intended to hang up than he heard Mu’s hoa.r.s.e low voice, “Answer it.”

“Yes.”

The talk took less than two minutes.

Fang Ze hung up the phone but didn’t know how to report to his boss.

As Fang Ze was Mu’s personal a.s.sistant, any outsider who wanted to get through to Mu Tingchen must go through him. And throughout all these years of working beside him, Fang Ze had definitely known it quite well as regards what kind of information was important and needed to be reported in time and what was just a waste of time and thus could just be ignored.

But right now, …

He was caught in a dilemma.

“What’s wrong?”

Mu’s sudden voice once again broke the silence, making Fang suffer a s.h.i.+ver.

Though hesitating, Fang told him in the end, “It’s … it’s from Miss Li Haina …”

Fangze knew more or less of the messy relations.h.i.+p of his boss with Li Haina and Ye s.h.i.+wei. But his boss was right now in a fit of anger at Miss Ye. Wasn’t Li asking for the trouble for calling now?

“What did she say?”

“She said there was something very important to talk with you.”

Mu stared at the thick fog out of the window and opened his mouth, in a hoa.r.s.e and gloomy voice. “Tell her to wait in front of my house.”

“In front of his house?”

Fang’s heart sank. Was Mu just signifying … by asking her to wait on his doorstep.

Could he have been so irritated by Miss Ye that he was going to act recklessly …?

“But …” Fang wore a serious expression.

With Mu’s cold eyes tossing over, Fang dared not delay and hurriedly fastened his seat belt, started the engine, and was ready to leave.

Halfway, Fang finally couldn’t help opening his mouth.

“Boss, are you gonna let Miss Li to wait on the doorstep? If there’s really something to talk about, you can always go to the conference room in the company …”

Mu raised his eyebrow without speaking, waiting calmly for Fang’s following words.

“Miss Ye is young and has encountered sudden upheavals, so it is inevitable that she is a little stubborn. You don’t have to be angry with her …”

“Who says I’m angry at her?”

The word “stubborn” came on the lips of Fang but was swallowed back. After all, he didn’t want to die.

“You like Miss Ye … so just make some allowance for her …”

Mu’s eyes grew sharp.

“Who says I like her?”

Fang blinked and dared not say anything more.

But Mu continued speaking, as if some explanation, though it was unclear whether it was to Fang Ze or to himself.

“I only approached her in order to find out the cause of Elder Mu’s death three years ago.”

Elder Mu died three years ago, and Ye Kang’an also disappeared at the same time.

There must be a reason for this, and this was also the purpose of Mu Tingchen’s return from abroad.

It was just …

He might have once been moved by that girl, but he would never again.

People of Family Mu were not allowed to talk about feelings.

Fang Ze could not help but asked, “But you broke in the Charm Clubhouse, smashed it and you helped contact doctors for Mrs. Ye …”

Those were all with evidently personal motives.

The dark eyes of Mu reflected a flash of sharpness all of a sudden in the rearview mirror, sending s.h.i.+vers down Fang’s spine.

“Then how about you teaching me how to do things hereafter?”

“No, that’s not what I meant.”

“Fang Ze, you are not a talkative person.”

“Sorry, Boss, I’ve said too much.”

Although he apologized, Fang could not help sighing secretly to himself. How could he be so abnormal if he didn’t worry about his boss?

His boss was famously known for his rational mind and capability of controlling the situation, but it was all on works. As far as emotional aspects were concerned, …

It had never happened before, so Fang couldn’t be sure. But now … that woman had made his boss very abnormal.

His boss was used to thinking a lot, and had serious mental and physical cleanliness problems. It was unbelievable that a person like him, who used to hate being touched by others, should not be able to contain himself and do that kind of thing with Ye s.h.i.+wei in the car …

He could probably mess with other women in the fit of anger …

Therefore, Fang had to worry about it. When one thing went out of control, there would be a second … then a third …
