Falling tonight

Chapter 18
Zhao Rou clutched her bag tightly and walked quickly over there.

Gao Songqing opened the car door and she lifted her legs to sit in the back seat. He then closed the car door and stood silently not far away.

Mu Zhou sat in the back seat and had already changed into a set of clothes. Sitting next to her, she could smell the agarwood fragrance after bathing.

"Are you familiar with Baek Jung Hyuk?"

Mu Zhou's voice was cold, but his eyes were dark and deep when he looked at her.

Zhao Rou answered truthfully: "I'm not familiar with him. I happened to meet him in the hospital. He saved me last time and I treated him to a meal."

Muzhou was able to find the hotel where she was staying, so he probably investigated her itinerary. There was no need for her to lie to him.

"He is from Xiyue Group. Xiyue Group is the company that photographed your work."

"I know, he already told me."

"Oh?" Mu Zhou raised his eyebrows, "What else did I tell you?"

Zhao Rou recalled it, but couldn't find any key information: "It's all just chatting, what's wrong?"

Mr. Mu looked at her expression, as if he was guessing whether her words were true or false.

"It's nothing."

"Just this once, stay away from him in the future."

Zhao Rou looked at him and chuckled: "Mr. Mu, are you being too lenient? I am free to make friends with whom I want."

No matter how possessive he is, he cannot restrict her personal communication behavior.

Mu Zhou moved his lips, thought of something, stopped what he was about to say, and changed the topic.

"Tell your friend about Yizhuang Hospital. You only need to report the news she interviewed. Don't make rash analysis or judgment."

"Do you know about this?" Zhao Rou was curious and raised her back on the seat, "Does Mr. Mu's coming to City B have something to do with this?"

"I just heard it mentioned by a friend."

His eyes darkened as he looked at her: "In short, the inside of the hospital is more complicated than you think. You and your friends should not get into this muddy water."

He’s finished clicking, and it’s inconvenient to say more about the rest.

Zhao Rou nodded in understanding.

Suddenly I remembered the way he turned a blind eye when I met him in the restaurant.

She hesitated and said: "In the future, in public places, should we pretend that we don't know each other?"

After finishing speaking, I was afraid that he would misunderstand: "I have no other intention, I just want to confirm with you that if this is necessary, I know what to do in the future."

"Haha", Mu Zhou sat up straight, revealing his deep facial features from the shadows.

He pinched her chin and chuckled: "You are really a qualified P friend."

Zhao Rou narrowed her eyes.

Is this a compliment to her?It doesn't seem to sound good.

The light in the car was dim, and her gorgeous face made him think. He leaned forward and put his red lips on her.

Zhao Rou was stunned for a moment, her nose filled with the smell of him after bathing, making her slightly intoxicated.

Unknowingly, he pried open the shell teeth and sucked out the sweetness.

After a passionate kiss, the temperature in the car rose, and Zhao Rou finally regained her senses.

Pushing his shoulder and gasping: "I have to go back, my friend is still waiting for me."

"Well, the clothes I bought fit you very well."

His big palms tightened around Zhao Rou's slender waist, and his head was buried in her fair neck.

I don't know if it was these words or his contact that made Zhao Rou tremble slightly.

"Don't hold back," he teased.

Zhao Rou secretly cursed: You big-headed idiot, your reaction is much stronger than mine.

After a long time, Mu Zhou finally let her go and drove away after she got off the car.Along the way, Gao Songqing raised his eyes from time to time to look at Mu Zhou in the rearview mirror, as if he was hesitant to speak.

"Just say what you want to say." Mu Zhou crossed his arms over his chest and half-closed his eyes.

"Mr. Mu, why don't you reveal Bai Zhenghe's identity to Miss Zhao. What if he wants to use the Zhao family to do you harm..."

"He's not qualified yet." He opened his eyes, his eyes filled with seriousness.

"However, today's bidding negotiations were going well. Who knew that the Bai family would interfere, and now the outcome of the negotiations becomes unknown."

"The Bai family didn't give any face to Lingtian Group's first business in City B. They cut it off abruptly just because we didn't have as many contacts in City B as he did."

Mu Zhou said in a deep voice: "If I didn't come here, I wouldn't know the way here. In short, today's trip was not in vain."

Gao Songqing glanced at Mu Zhou in the rearview mirror.

"You have been too relaxed about the Xiyue Group in the past few years. When you go back, let the Bai family taste the taste of being intercepted. Let's see whose territory is Yashi!"

Mu Zhou rubbed his temples and interrupted what he was talking about: "Have you investigated the Yizhuang Hospital that I asked you to investigate?"

Gao Songqing was still immersed in anger, and it took him a while to realize and change the topic.

"Not yet. I asked my people to investigate half a year ago, but there has been no direct clue that this hospital is related to the Bai family."

"Baek Jung Hyuk's grandma is indeed in this hospital. She suffered a stroke and was lying down for a long time, so Baek Jung Hyuk occasionally appears there."

"Well, keep staring." Mu Zhou said briefly, closing his eyes and preparing to take a nap.

Gao Songqing turned the steering wheel and continued the topic: "Mr. Mu, you didn't see it. Director Zhao was as happy as a flower when he received the envelope in the morning. But during dinner in the evening, he secretly stuffed the red envelope back. That one His face looks like something."

"If the Bai family didn't put pressure on him, how could he leave such a huge amount of money? I wouldn't believe it even if I beat him to death."

"When you went out to use the bathroom, the Bai family was in the dark. Fortunately, Miss Zhao didn't pester you. If it was Miss Fang Yi, maybe..."

"Assistant Gao," Mu Zhou gritted his teeth, "If you are bored, you can call your girlfriend."

Gao Songqing smiled awkwardly: "Hey, Mr. Mu, I broke up with my girlfriend a few days ago."

"She dumped me because she thought I was too busy to spend time with her."

"Now I realize that a woman like Miss Zhao is the best girlfriend. She is not unreasonable and looks pretty. I really want to..."

Gao Songqing accidentally glanced in the rearview mirror. CEO Mu Da's handsome face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the veins on his forehead twitched slightly.

He swallowed instinctively and operated the steering wheel quietly.

When Zhao Rou returned to the room, she remembered that Mu Zhou had not answered her questions in the car.

Tian Yingying was lying on the bed scrolling through her mobile phone. She looked up from the quilt and asked, "What did you buy?"

Zhao Rou was stunned.How could I forget this?

"Did you secretly have a tryst with Brother Bai?"

Zhao Rou laughed: "What are you thinking about?"

She didn't intend to hide it from Tian Yingying, so she conveyed Mu Zhou's words to her, but left out the part about Bai Zhenghe he mentioned.

"That's it? I specifically asked you to go down there?"

"I'm investigating a snake bite for you, and I'm talking to you about such a trivial matter at night, aren't you a kidney transplant?"

Tian Yingying shook her head and said.

"It means he is okay with women, otherwise why would Zhao Fanyi follow her wholeheartedly?"

Mu Zhou's mother said that Mu Zhou and Zhao Fangyi had been together for many years, but when she went home for the New Year every year, she never heard the Zhao family mention it.

"Take me to meet you next time," Tian Yingying winked, "to have a glimpse of your first man."

Zhao Rou opened a bottle of mineral water and rolled her eyes.

"By the way, have you checked Zhanbo? Why did that car appear in this hotel parking lot?"
