The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard-Chapter 1383 - 1396

After lunch, I dove into work and didn’t leave my seat all afternoon. They required that the revised design plan be sent over by five o’clock.

When Mu Bingtong finally pressed the send button, she glanced at the bottom right corner of the computer. It was 4:30. She was not late.

She hadn’t yet called to inform them; her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number... 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Hello."

"Hello, I am the representative from Chu Group collaborating with your company."

The official introduction caused Mu Bingtong’s head to buzz.

"Miss Mu, are you listening?"

"...Yes, yes, I am."

Mu Bingtong was inexplicably nervous. Representative? Isn’t that Chu Ge? But this voice wasn’t his...

"Here’s the thing, I hope you can come to our company tomorrow..."

Go to Chu Group? She didn’t hear clearly what the person said afterward. Until the call was hung up, and the beeping sound prompted, she finally came to her senses, casually placing the phone on the desk.

He wants her to go to Chu Group. Will they meet? And what should they say if they do?

Mu Bingtong asked Li Yuanshu for leave in advance, only to find out he had already received the notification from Chu Group. He cheerfully reminded her, "Don’t forget tomorrow night’s dinner. Dress nicely, not too conservatively like now."

Mu Bingtong had long heard that Li Yuanshu was a total creep. The way he looked at her was lustful. Mu Bingtong subconsciously tightened her collar, "Then I’ll head out first, Manager."

Leaving the manager’s office, she stretched lazily. She hadn’t moved all day. Mu Bingtong looked around, ensuring no one was there, then started practicing Tai Chi in the corridor.

Completing a set of boxing moves, she then did a handstand. She needed the blood to reverse flow, to refresh her brain cells.

Looking at all the objects before her turned upside down, past images surfaced in her mind.

"Chu Ge, come quickly." Mu Bingtong pulled Chu Ge toward the secret base she mentioned.

"Is it here?" Chu Ge looked at the rooftop filled with flowers and plants, and a swing swaying in the wind.

Mu Bingtong looked at the expressionless Chu Ge. Although she admitted he had a poker face, this tranquil place was hard-won by her. Couldn’t he show a bit of enthusiasm?

"Don’t you think this place is great for a date?"

Mu Bingtong, hugging Chu Ge’s arm, asked. From here, they could see far into the distance. The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, away from the clamor of the city. There were only the two of them, with no one to disturb them.

Mu Bingtong pulled Chu Ge to a wall, in front of which lay the vast cityscape. She suddenly let go of Chu Ge’s arm, found a spot, and with a snap, leaned against the wall in a handstand.

"Come on, Chu Ge, see, isn’t the world different like this?"

Mu Bingtong, speaking while handstanding, found it difficult. Chu Ge had failed in a scientific research achievement, feeling dejected for a long time, and Mu Bingtong had to use this method to enlighten him.

Chu Ge glanced at the vast cityscape, then also did a handstand.

"Isn’t it different?" Mu Bingtong asked.

Chu Ge didn’t speak. He quietly watched the upside-down city. It was a bit different...

"The things in front of us haven’t stopped because of our handstand. Nothing has changed. The only change is our eyes, seeing a dead angle and getting fixated on it..."

Before Mu Bingtong finished talking, Chu Ge put down his legs, stood up straight, and looked at the handstanding Mu Bingtong. Still with a cold tone, he said, "Are you saying I’m stubbornly obsessed?"

Turning away after speaking, he left the rooftop, leaving Mu Bingtong dumbfounded. Did she say something wrong again?

Mu Bingtong slowly put her legs down. The voices rang out in the empty corridor brightly. Mu Bingtong straightened her clothes, walked back to her desk, and watched the clock on the wall point to five o’clock. It was time to get off work.

Mu Bingtong’s phone continued to vibrate non-stop.

"Hello?"

"Off work? Beauty, may I invite you out?" Jiang Hao’s playful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Sure, where are you?" Mu Bingtong’s mouth instinctively curved up. Every time she was unhappy, Jiang Hao and Shen Yaoyao would be by her side. But after all, Jiang Hao was a man, and there were some things she couldn’t bring herself to share with him.

"Downstairs at your company. If Beauty An doesn’t come out soon, I’m going to be pierced by the gazes of your company’s crazy admirers."

Mu Bingtong laughed at Jiang Hao’s words, "Wait for me, I’ll be right down."

On the way, she thought of whether to tell Shen Yaoyao as well. Every time it was the three of them together. But she was already downstairs. She took out her phone again and put it back into her bag. Better to say it once on the car. Maybe Jiang Hao had already informed Shen Yaoyao.

Mu Bingtong jogged out of the company building. Jiang Hao’s car was parked right in front of the building. Mu Bingtong looked at him with a reproachful gaze. How blatantly parked at the entrance. Even if he didn’t provoke the fangirls, they would come to him.

Mu Bingtong secretly glanced around. Whether male colleagues or female colleagues, they all took three steps and turned back for another look. Some even took out their phones for pictures.

"I don’t think it’s suitable to talk here right now, we better leave quickly." Jiang Hao already couldn’t stand so many eyes on him and urged Mu Bingtong to get in the car quickly.

Mu Bingtong just shrugged with a smile, pursed her thin lips, puffed up her cheeks as she looked at him. Alright, tomorrow she’d be bombarded again.

Sitting in the car, Mu Bingtong quietly sat in the back seat, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the relaxing, beautiful light music, relaxing her entire body.

"Did you speak to Shen Yaoyao?" Mu Bingtong asked.

Jiang Hao didn’t respond. Not long after, Mu Bingtong heard a regretful sigh from Jiang Hao, but she chose to ignore it, some things she was better off pretending not to know.

Jiang Hao took out his phone and said, "Not yet. Just came to pick up Beauty An first, we’ll go get her afterward."

Saying this, he started the engine, and the car moved further away from the company...

Mu Bingtong watched the trees along the street being left behind one by one, thinking about going to Chu Group tomorrow, she felt a headache and touched her forehead, letting out a silence sigh.

Sitting in the front driver’s seat, Jiang Hao looked at the troubled Mu Bingtong in the back through the rear-view mirror and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, work stuff."

"Don’t think about it after work. Tonight, I’ll take you all to have some good food. Order anything you like."

"I don’t mind. When Shen Yaoyao comes, let her decide. She always comes up with new ideas."

Jiang Hao didn’t say anything more, focused on driving. Every time they were alone, they didn’t talk much. This made Jiang Hao a bit awkward, trying to find a topic but not knowing what to say. He thought of school days with Mu Bingtong, she was never this quiet. Since that incident, she had no longer been lively...
