"You two look so enviable, but unfortunately, you're too conservative and worry too much. You're always thinking about what Lan Baobao would think, which suppresses yourself. And now look! Lan Baobao has already been taken away! So, it's better to act early than late. If I were you, I would have expressed my feelings to Lan Baobao a long time ago! That way, there might still be a chance to keep her by your side. Isn't that great? How long can you hide her like this? Can you hide her for a lifetime? Ye Zixun is now sleeping at the company every day and hardly goes home. At first, I thought he had a fight with Lan Baobao and didn't want to go home to rest. But after seeing the baby later, I suddenly realized that Ye Zixun probably doesn't even know that Lan Baobao has already gone out. This must be the doing of those two annoying kids! By the time Ye Zixun discovers that Lan Baobao has long disappeared from home, he probably won't know what to do! At that time, Lan Baobao will definitely be taken away by him. Can you bear that?"
Mu Jiao'er stepped down from her seat, took two steps to stand behind Mu Jiangfeng, and then extended her fair hands as if searching for something on his back. The dazzling fiery red nails appeared even more striking under the flickering lights from a distance. Everything about this enchantress seemed frivolous, presenting a dangerously provocative gesture.
Mu Jiangfeng felt the hair on his back stand up immediately, as if soldiers responding to a whistle, all standing at attention after the sound. This made him quite uncomfortable, so he reached back and firmly grabbed Mu Jiao'er's hand, pressing it hard against the bar counter, signaling with his consciousness: "If you have something to say, don't get hands-on!"
Mu Jiao'er still wore a calm and gentle expression, smiling as she asked, "Master Mu, do you think what I said makes sense? I believe every word hits right at your heart, doesn't it?"
"So what if it does? What does it matter if you hit me with your words? I like Lan Baobao, what does it have to do with you?!"
"Indeed, it doesn't concern me, but I just can't bear to see your frustration! My heart has always been with you! Think about it; besides you, isn't there another man who has been watching over Lan Baobao?"
"You're talking about Gu Feng?"
"Isn't that right?" Mu Jiao'er whispered softly in Mu Jiangfeng's ear: "I heard that Lan Baobao is his lifesaver. Gu Feng liked Lan Baobao a long time ago and has always wanted to find her. Unfortunately, something happened along the way, so he hasn't been able to find her yet. If he had found Lan Baobao earlier, Ye Zixun wouldn't even stand a chance! If you don't make your move soon, when Gu Feng finds out that there are problems in the relationship between Lan Baobao and Ye Zixun, he will definitely step in. Master Mu, do you think you'll really have confidence facing two rivals then?"
Mu Jiangfeng shook his head gently.
He had heard of Gu Feng. He was an even more difficult character than Ye Zixun.
He acted without scruples and didn't play by the rules.
If Gu Feng got involved, Mu Jiangfeng's situation would only become more difficult.
"You're not wrong either, but even if Gu Feng comes, there's nothing I can do!"
"That's true. If in Lan Baobao's heart there isn't anyone else yet, no matter how much he gets involved, there won't be any results. However, once there is someone else in her heart, you'll have no chance left. So it's better to act first! If you confess your feelings to Lan Baobao, your chances will be much greater than others! After all, compared to Gu Feng, you hold much more weight in Lan Baobao's heart. Moreover, being close gives you an advantage; Master Mu, your position is very strong!"
Does this mean that Mu Jiao'er wants him to confess to Lan Baobao?
A hint of panic arose in Mu Jiangfeng. Although he knew his feelings were solely for Lan Baobao, knowing she was married made him suppress his desires and feelings deep inside without ever considering what it would be like to confess to her.
He was still thinking about how to make Lan Baobao his own, but the situation had already presented itself, and Mu Jiangfeng had no way to turn it around.
His heart seemed to always carry a sense of worry.
From the moment Mu Jiangfeng stepped into the bar, he had been frowning deeply, and Mu Jiao'er's reminder made his brows furrow even more.
Mu Jiao'er had taken the initiative to meet him and had openly pointed out the leverage she held over him. She must have wanted to use that threat to her advantage; how could she only be reminding him out of goodwill? It felt as if their relationship had suddenly turned into that of allies.
“Master Mu, don’t worry, I will make sure this works out for you, and it’s not just for your sake. To be honest, I’m not such a good person either; I can’t possibly work hard for someone else without any gain for myself. I’m doing this for my own benefit!”
Mu Jiao'er clearly noticed Mu Jiangfeng's doubts. He might still be wondering if she was plotting something against him.
She was indeed a cunning person, but this time, she wasn’t scheming against Mu Jiangfeng!
Seeing that Mu Jiangfeng was still just looking at her, waiting for her to speak, Mu Jiao'er began to analyze with satisfaction: “Actually, we are both on the same path now and can definitely cooperate. You want Lan Baobao, and what I want is Ye Zixun. That’s why I’m here; our goals align! We are allies!”
Mu Jiao'er deliberately emphasized the name “Ye Zixun” to clarify her true intentions for meeting him.
“If Lan Baobao doesn’t marry Ye Zixun, who knows? The mistress of the Ye Family could have been me. She ruined my dreams, so deep down, I really dislike Lan Baobao. I would love nothing more than for her to disappear from this world!”
A surge of killing intent exploded from Mu Jiangfeng, and Mu Jiao'er knew she had hit his sore spot. Feeling a rush of excitement, she smiled and pressed her soft chest against Mu Jiangfeng’s arm, rubbing up and down continuously.
“Master Mu, don’t be angry. I know you don’t like hearing my words, but the more I dislike Lan Baobao, the more beneficial it is for you! The more I hate her, the more I want to break her apart from Ye Zixun. You also dislike Ye Zixun and want to take Lan Baobao away from him. We complement each other! What I want is quite simple. Although Ye Zixun treats me well now, sometimes he can be a bit cold towards me. Plus, he doesn’t seem keen on marrying me! What I want is for Ye Zixun and Lan Baobao to get divorced, and then ideally, for Lan Baobao to disappear from Ye Zixun’s life forever! And as for you, Mu Jiangfeng, your greatest desire is to be with Lan Baobao. In fact, if she leaves the Ye Family and ends up with another man, I should be the one celebrating! So as long as you don’t provoke me, we can remain partners. I won’t easily reveal Lan Baobao’s whereabouts to Zi Xun.” Mu Jiao'er continued.
This arrangement seemed feasible; from this perspective, their goals were aligned. However, it was merely about breaking apart Ye Zixun and Lan Baobao, so they could each claim one for themselves.
Once their agreement was reached and both got what they wanted, there would be no need for further cooperation between them. In essence, Mu Jiao'er and Mu Jiangfeng were just temporary partners.
Mu Jiangfeng understood Mu Jiao'er’s intentions but still found himself unable to directly agree at that moment.
He still had some reservations in his heart and wasn’t sure whether he should accept Mu Jiao'er’s invitation.
"The plan is quite good, and your mind seems to be working well, but how can you guarantee that the plan will succeed? Even if I propose to Lan Baobao, his marriage with Ye Zixun has not ended yet. How could she agree? Moreover, even if my proposal is successful, as long as Ye Zixun hasn't left Lan Baobao and isn't divorced from her, it doesn't seem to bring you any real benefits," Mu Jiangfeng analyzed.
Mu Jiao'er calmly replied, "As long as Lan Baobao agrees to be with you, you can take her out for a while. By then, I will find a way to deal with Ye Zixun. After that, you can come back together. As long as you can get Lan Baobao to agree to be with you, I will definitely have a way to make Ye Zixun agree to this divorce!"
It seemed like a decent negotiation condition.
"It looks like you are quite confident, but what if Lan Baobao doesn't agree? If she refuses to marry me, then all your plans will fall apart. Have you considered that it might all be in vain?"
In fact, Mu Jiangfeng still didn't have much confidence in Lan Baobao!
Although he had spent much more time with her recently, almost day and night together, he could still sense that she had heavy concerns in her heart. However, he didn't know if those concerns were about Ye Zixun.
The only thing Mu Jiangfeng was sure of was that Lan Baobao's heart had not turned towards him yet.
"She won't agree?" Mu Jiao'er pondered meaningfully for a moment, her eyes lifting slightly before she said, "This is the first step of the plan and is very important for us. We cannot afford any mistakes. For us, it is absolutely crucial that Lan Baobao confesses to you! So if she doesn't agree, then we need to find a way to make her say yes. Sometimes, getting what you want isn't about whether others give it to you; it's about whether you have the means and ability to fight for it, don't you think, Master Mu?"
After finishing her words, Mu Jiao'er curled her lips into a faint smile—charming yet exuding a chillingly powerful force.
