Chapter 43

The atmosphere was indescribably weird, her panic and his calmness formed a sharp contrast.

Boom... A crisp knock on the door broke the deadlock.

"Come in."

The golden office door was pushed open, and Gao Yujie stepped forward with a solemn expression, and reported softly, "Mr. Mu, Miss Jiang is here."

Mu Yuanchen's expression darkened, and he nodded: "Got it."

Shen Jiaman got up immediately after hearing the words: "Then I'll go first."

Of course she knew who Miss Jiang was referring to, and she knew better that this Miss Jiang would definitely not want to see her!
"Then please?"

"I'll come back tomorrow."

Gao Yujie heaved a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, just a friendly sponsorship."

He waved his hand vigorously, but the person had disappeared in a flash. Mu Yuanchen smiled helplessly, and looked at Gao Yujie: "Isn't she interesting?"

"It's more interesting than Jiang Shan."

The originally soft and handsome face suddenly sank: "Where is she?"

"At the main station, it is estimated that this meeting has already come up."

Shen Jiaman stood at the entrance of the elevator, and numbly touched his forehead, his heart was beating violently.

The elevator door opened, and she rushed in hastily, but she didn't want to bump into Jiang Shan...

"why you?"

Jiang Shan raised her eyebrows in surprise, her eyes were as sharp as torches.

"Hello, Miss Jiang, I'm here to find Assistant Gao."

In order to avoid misunderstanding, she hurriedly explained, but why, the explanation was so weak and guilty...

"Gao Yujie? Why are you looking for Gao Yujie?"

"This...you can ask him, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."

As soon as the elevator door was closed, Jiang Shan's heart fell to the bottom. She seemed to have a premonition of something she dared not face.

Taking a deep breath, he walked straight to Mu Yuanchen's office, stepping on the marble floor with his high heels, as if piercing through the bamboo.

Mu Yuanchen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to her. Most of the time, the two of them were silent like this.

"Who is that girl?"

"You don't already know her."

Jiang Shan took a step forward: "I asked her who is yours?"

"What do you think?"

Mu Yuanchen turned around and asked with a calm expression.

"Why do I think that? Don't you think it's cruel to me?"

"I've already promised you, why should I care about this?"

Jiang Shan suddenly felt aggrieved: "How could I not care? You are the one I want to marry, Mu Yuanchen, have you ever loved me? Did you think it's normal for me to approach other men?"

"I've never been a dedicated man, you don't just know it now."

"Yes, I didn't just find out now, but do you dare to say that this time is also a play on the occasion?"

Mu Yuanchen has never liked being entangled by women, and Jiang Shan has never made trouble unreasonably. The two of them have been dating for so many years. Although there is no vigorous love, they still treat each other with respect, but at this moment, she has already offended his bottom line.

"What kind of answer do you want to hear from me? Is it because I affirm your question that you are satisfied?"

Jiang Shan was stunned in disbelief. He had never spoken loudly to her before, let alone looked at her coldly like now.

Aggrieved, she turned her back, and tears burst out of her eyes instantly.

"Sorry, I was a bit harsh just now."

Mu Yuanchen softened his tone, Jiang Shan turned around suddenly, and grabbed his hand with tearful eyes: "Yuanchen, let's get married, I'm very scared, I'm afraid that one day you will leave me..."

"I always keep my word."

This is the only promise. To Jiang Shan, even if there is no love, there is still a responsibility. The Mu family owes her.

For one week in a row, Shen Jiaman went to Mu's branch every day to review the accounts.

According to Gao Yujie's instructions, she went to the head office at five o'clock every evening to report the results of the inspection to Mu Yuanchen.

In the past seven days, although she worked very hard and seriously, she didn't gain anything, and it turned out that everything was normal.

She couldn't help feeling guilty, thinking that she was not professional enough, so she secretly went to Gao Yujie and said, "Gao Tezhu, I'm sorry, I may not be able to help you."

"It's okay, you check slowly, don't worry."

His expression was very relaxed, without the anxiety she had imagined at all. Suddenly, Shen Jiaman felt calculated.

"I don't know if I should say something or not..."

"Oh, just say it straight?"

"Is there really a problem with the accounts of your branch? Why do I feel that you seem to be deliberately teasing me again..."

Gao Yujie raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Why, I'm not such a boring person."

"But I think it's strange. You said that you sent a professional team to investigate, and you are afraid of hurting your feelings. Then, if I go to investigate all day, won't it hurt your feelings?"

"You are different. When I sent you there, I only said that you are a friend of Mr. Mu and you want to do an internship there. It just so happens that your major matches, so they won't doubt it."

"Then can I not check?"

"why?"

"After a few days of investigation, there is no problem at all. I don't think it is necessary to continue the investigation."

Gao Yujie looked at her meaningfully when he heard the words, and said playfully, "Are you unwilling to continue the investigation? Or are you unwilling to face Young Master Mu every day?"

Shen Jiaman's face turned red, and she hurriedly explained: "I don't want to check any more. I run around every day, and I can't keep up with my schoolwork."

"Well then, you can check for another three days, and if there is still no result within three days, there is no need to continue."

She stuck out her tongue helplessly: "Okay then."

"Hey, aren't you nervous when you face me? Why are you still sticking out your tongue?"

"Who said I was nervous?"

"Young Master Mu said, he asked me about it yesterday."

Shen Jiaman was stunned suddenly, wishing to bite her tongue and kill herself in the next second, she had forgotten it even though she was the one who said it.

She smiled and pretended to be casual: "What did he ask you?"

"He said..." Gao Yujie cleared his throat, and changed into Mu Yuanchen's tone: "When Miss Shen was alone with you, was she nervous?"

"Then how did you answer?"

"I said I'm not nervous, and I'm not a virgin boyfriend or girlfriend, so there's nothing to be nervous about."

Dazed for a while, Shen Jiaman stomped her feet: "Who said I'm not nervous? I'm obviously very nervous! How can you use your feelings to represent my position to answer!"

"Look, you and I are so anxious, I really can't see where you are nervous..."

"...I'm speechless to you, Assistant Gao."

The next evening, she had just finished a statistics class, and on the way back to the dormitory, she received a call from Gao Yujie.

"Hey, Miss Shen, something happened."

She was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"Mr. Mu went riding a horse in the afternoon and fell off the horse."

"Fall... fell? Is it serious??"

"It's not serious, can I find you?!"

"Then it's serious to find a doctor, what's the use of looking for me!"

"The doctor has already seen it, you should come to Mu Mansion now."
