Chapter 122 Miss Mu, I Love You from First Sight

During lunch break, Lu Jinye made an unexpected trip to the employees’ cafeteria.

In the cafeteria, everyone was talking about Mu Zhi trending on the search engine again. They were also saying that she had a scandalous private life.

Lu Jinye turned around and left the cafeteria. He skipped lunch and immediately called the public relations manager to his office.

“Remove all the news that Mu Zhi appeared in and inform all the media outlets to not raise this matter again.”

“Yes sir.”

The public relations manager looked at Lu Jinye uncertainly as he stood before him. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

He had a lot of questions on his mind. Does the chairman know why Miss Mu is trending on hot searches?

She is looking for the man from her one night stand and the chairman ordered it to be removed without finding out why?

However he did not have the courage to ask.

He stood before Lu Jinye distractedly for a while. Lu Jinye arched his brow and asked, “Is there anything else?”

“No.”

The public relations manager hesitated but he did not dare to say anything in the end.

“Why are you still here then?”

Lu Jinye commanded.

The public relations manager was frightened and dared not delay. He left the office immediately.

He was very efficient, and soon the matter was completely settled.

Lu Jinye naturally had no interest in tabloid news about Mu Zhi. As a person whose personal life was subjected to various speculations all year round, and furthermore having to play act with Xiao Qingqing, all these things were pointless.

Since they were talking about a love triangle between himself, Lu Junnian and Mu Zhi previously, they were probably revolving around the same thing again.

These were all leftovers from his games with Xiao Qingqing.

…

When Mu Zhi had hung up on Lu Junnian, she planned to delete the video on Weibo by herself. However… After some thoughts she decided not to.

She realized that she didn’t mind if the widespread of the video on Weibo led to discovery of the man’s identity. If it could uncover the mastermind behind the matter, that would be even better.

However, while she stared at her page on Weibo, the post suddenly disappeared!

Furthermore, when she stood up and rushed to the door to check on the reporters outside, they too had disappeared!

They had left so orderly and quietly that it was as if commanded by God.

Mu Zhi was certain that Lu Junnian was behind this.

She returned indoors and contemplated calling Lu Junnian to thank him.

However, just after she dialed and before Lu Junnian answered, Mu Zhi heard the doorbell rang.

She threw the phone onto the sofa and dashed to the door.

When the door was opened, there was a man in a suit standing there. His appearance was respectable and handsome, his eyes sharp and deep set beneath gold rimmed glasses. He stood straight with the demeanor of a businessman and also a trace of an artist’s charisma.

Mu Zhi looked at the man for a long time and noticed that he was carrying a box of Lego toys. He greeted her with a slight nod.

His thin lips curved into a smile. He appeared friendly when he smiled.

“Hello, are you Miss Mu? I am Zhang Baiyan. This is my name card.”

He bowed slightly and handed her a name card.

Mu Zhi took the name card automatically and felt even more puzzled. She looked at the name card and saw that it wrote, ‘Zhang Baiyan, CEO of MD Media Group.’

“So… May I know what is the matter?”

Mu Zhi didn’t know anyone like him in her circle so she assumed that he was here to see Lu Jinye. “Lu Jinye is not here.”

She added quickly before he could reply.

The man had an elegant demeanor. He smiled at Mu Zhi and said, “Don’t worry Miss Mu, I am here to see you.”

“Me?”

His answer made her even more puzzled.

The man gave her a respectful nod and said, “Four year ago I made a trip to City A when MD Media Group was expanding its business. That evening I was set up by business opponents and unintentionally drank too much. They might have even drugged my drinks. So I ended up staying at the hotel and had a wonderful night with a lady.”

“I was weak back then so for the sake of my family’s honor, I had no choice but to leave the next day. But I can never forget your face, Miss Mu. I have been looking for you through the media but was unsuccessful.”

“However yesterday, I came across your video and realized that you were looking for me too.”

At this point, Mu Zhi understood why he was here.

Mu Zhi was rooted stiffly to a spot. She could not react to what was said.

“May I come in to talk to you?”

The man asked tentatively.

He seemed polite and gentlemanly so Mu Zhi let him in.

The man politely placed the toys to the side. He waited for Mu Zhi to be seated before turning his eyes on her.

There was tenderness in his eyes.

“I know it is ridiculous for a man to believe in love at first sight. But since that night, you kept appearing in my dreams. I think I have really fallen in love with you.”

“Cough.”

Mu Zhi wanted to take a sip of water to calm herself but the man’s words were so startling that she nearly choked.

“Mr. Zhang, how did you know that it was me?”

Mu Zhi felt that something was strange.

The man was quite handsome and pleasant to look at. He also seemed very different from Lu Jinye and Lu Junnian. He was reserved but warm.

He even seemed to be compatible with her.

But that did not stop her from questioning him.

“When you entered my room you were intoxicated and the room was dark so perhaps you did not see my face. But I had seen your face when I woke up afterwards.”

“After all these years, your face remains unchanged. That is why I can recognize you.”

“Furthermore, the hotel in the video was also the one I had stayed in.”

Mu Zhi listened. She could not tell whether he was lying.

When she was about to ask further questions, suddenly, Mu Xiaomu ran out from her bedroom towards her lap and said, “Mama… I am hungry.”

Mu Zhi couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable at the sudden turn of events.

She observed Zhang Baiyan’s reaction carefully.
