The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard-Chapter 1385 - 1398

Shen Yaoyao shouted Mu Bingtong’s name into the room while waving her bag, trying to shoo away Mu Bingtong.

Mu Bingtong leaned against the wall, clutching her stomach as she laughed, "Shen Yaoyao, it’s me!"

Shen Yaoyao stopped waving and looked at the person transformed into a ghost, "You’re Mu Bingtong?"

"Yes, yes."

Mu Bingtong was very satisfied with Shen Yaoyao’s reaction. See, even her closest friend didn’t recognize her, so Chu Ge definitely wouldn’t either.

"So? Is my disguise successful?"

Shen Yaoyao angrily threw the bag at Mu Bingtong, "Who are you trying to scare with this ghostly makeup!"

She pushed past Mu Bingtong, who was blocking the door, and walked straight into the room, "I’m really defeated by you. Did you invite me over just to scare me?"

"No, there’s a dinner event tonight. Do you think they won’t recognize me like this?"

"Whose dinner event?" Shen Yaoyao sat on the sofa, lifting her eyelids to look at her, "Seeing you all made up like this—tsk tsk—I think my teaching wasn’t that bad, was it?"

"Oh, I did it on purpose." Mu Bingtong plopped down on the sofa, casually grabbing a small doll to hold, "Tonight, Li Yuanshu invited Chu Ge to dinner, and Chu Ge wants the creator of this design project to attend too."

Shen Yaoyao gaped at her in shock, "So you made yourself up like this for that?"

Mu Bingtong pursed her lips and nodded.

"Going like this, are you trying to show him that you’re not doing well?" Shen Yaoyao crossed her arms helplessly, truly defeated by her.

"Come on, he was the one who wronged you first. Look at him now, he’s the president of the Chu Group, worth billions. And you? Showing up like this! Go wash it off and redo it!"

Under Shen Yaoyao’s insistence, Mu Bingtong reluctantly walked into the bathroom. She looked at her reflection and even startled herself—sausage lips, beauty marks...

Mu Bingtong looked at herself in the mirror once again, uncertain, "Do I really have to dress like this?"

Her long hair curled into large waves, naturally cascading over her shoulders, and the tight dress showcased her figure perfectly, front and back. Shen Yaoyao kept praising her, "Mu Bingtong, I just realized you have such a great figure."

Mu Bingtong swallowed, "But wearing this makes me feel uncomfortable." A large area of her chest was exposed, though the important parts were covered, her cleavage was clearly visible. Looking at the exquisite makeup on her face, though light...

Shen Yaoyao nodded in satisfaction, "Go, and show that heartbreaker that you’re doing just as well without him!"

"No, better than ever."

Shen Yaoyao lifted her head angrily, cheering for Mu Bingtong.

Mu Bingtong once again looked at herself in the mirror, remembering a time when she would wear such outfits, stepping in high heels, showcasing her tempting neckline...

Mu Bingtong knocked on the door of the agreed room, seeing that familiar yet unfamiliar face...

Chu Ge, in a black suit with a deep blue tie, sat at the center of the table, listening intently to another middle-aged man’s words, occasionally nodding slightly.

Mu Bingtong looked at his profile. Although she was prepared, her heart still skipped a beat, and her heartbeat quickened.

The man who opened the door looked at Mu Bingtong, deeply captivated by her appearance. Mu Bingtong felt a bit embarrassed being stared at, cleared her throat, and gave a dry cough.

The man snapped back and awkwardly smiled at Mu Bingtong, "Miss, who are you looking for?"

The room instantly quieted down, everyone turned to look at Mu Bingtong standing at the door, except Chu Ge who hadn’t raised his head since the door opened.

Li Yuanshu looked at Mu Bingtong, nodded in satisfaction, stood up and said, "Let me introduce everyone, this is the creator of our company’s design project, Mu Bingtong."

Upon hearing the name Mu Bingtong, Chu Ge merely lifted his eyes slightly for a glance, showing no change in emotion.

Mu Bingtong never took her eyes off Chu Ge. It wasn’t because she didn’t want to, but more like she couldn’t. Li Yuanshu noticed and smiled so much his eyes became slits.

Li Yuanshu sat Mu Bingtong to Chu Ge’s right side, Chu Ge glanced at her, seeing her skirt hiked up high enough to almost reveal everything, causing him to frown, yet he still didn’t say a word to her.

Midway through the dinner, Li Yuanshu noticed Mu Bingtong hadn’t made any move, glared at her, and began to frequently toast Chu Ge over Mu Bingtong.

Chu Ge clearly had no intention of drinking with him, turned to Mu Bingtong, "I heard Miss An has an excellent alcohol tolerance. Could you drink a few cups with Manager Li on my behalf?"

Mu Bingtong hadn’t expected Chu Ge to say this suddenly, a flash of panic appeared, but only for a few seconds, then Mu Bingtong lowered her head, "Okay."

Then she picked up the glass and drank with the manager. The manager seemed pleased that Mu Bingtong was drinking on Chu Ge’s behalf, gave a glance to the other managers, signaling them to toast Chu Ge, as they had been in business long enough to know Manager Li’s intentions.

The other managers also raised their glasses, "We also toast President Ji, and hope for more cooperation opportunities in the future."

Holding their glasses in mid-air, Chu Ge didn’t even lift his head, continuing to eat the beef on his plate, forcing the managers to awkwardly withdraw their hands. Just as they did, Chu Ge turned to the silent Mu Bingtong.

"The managers are waiting, why haven’t you raised your glass?"

"Ah? Me?" Mu Bingtong, feeling confused, not knowing what Chu Ge intended, nodded and smiled at the managers.

"Tonight, you drink for me."

Chu Ge’s words made Mu Bingtong choke on her drink, "Cough cough, cough, cough, cough."

Mu Bingtong looked at Chu Ge as if she didn’t understand, wondering when she became his drink substitute? Clearly, Chu Ge didn’t want to repeat, "Don’t test my patience, I never say something twice!"

Mu Bingtong silently put down her glass, he’s changed, the once sunny boy, who was sometimes cold, was at least not as distant as he is now. They really have become the most familiar strangers.

The atmosphere suddenly felt oppressive, Mu Bingtong excused herself and left the room, heading to the bathroom. The sinks here were shared for men and women, and Mu Bingtong stood in front of the mirror for a long time. Her face, flushed from drinking, paired with soft red lips, made her look even more alluring.

But Mu Bingtong wasn’t thinking about any of that, she checked her phone, seeing there was still time left, wondering when this would end, feeling overwhelmed by the atmosphere. She hadn’t spoken much the whole time, yet her face was almost frozen from smiling. She massaged her cheeks to feel a bit better, wanting to wash her face but hadn’t brought makeup remover, fearing it would mess up her look, so she simply washed her hands and turned to leave.
