Chapter 2122  : The Love of Chuan Rong (3)

Even though they were talking about this matter, they became a little cautious. Mu Tangchuan waved his hand—

“In that case, let’s go to my house tomorrow. It’s the weekend and we’re all free. Let’s have a simple drink to catch up on old times tonight.”

Mu Tangchuan’s low and slow voice sounded, and the few of them nodded in agreement.

They had ordered quite a number of good dishes, and everyone was eating and drinking happily.

After three rounds of drinks, Mu Tangchuan also felt that he was almost done drinking. The atmosphere in the private room was still very high. After thinking for a moment, he left the room and planned to go out for a smoke to get some fresh air.

Just as he left the private room, he could hear some noisy music in the corridor ahead.

Mu Tangchuan walked towards the washroom.

Music from that time were not like what they are now. Back then songs from Deng Lijun’s generation were popular. Mu Tangchuan clearly remembered that Zhuang Shurong at that time also had the heart of a young girl and chased after celebrities too. Moreover, she had a great singing voice, especially when she sang Deng Lijun’s songs.

At least, he felt that she was the best singer he had ever heard.

The corridor was very spacious and long. Mu Tangchuan walked forward slowly with a cigarette in his hand. He was inhaling and exhaling carelessly.

Suddenly, as he walked, he heard a familiar melody and a sweet and clear voice

The popular song, ‘I Only Care About You’ by Deng Lijun was a very lyrical song. It sounded different when it was sung lightly, and it was very pleasant to listen to.

Mu Tangchuan was also attracted by it. He turned his head and subconsciously looked at a private room next to him. The sound came from inside.

The door of the private room was not completely closed. From this position, he could see what was going on inside.

A woman wearing black pants and a light blue shirt was singing on the screen in front of her with a microphone.

The woman had a beautiful and moving face and looked very refreshing and elegant. However, when Mu Tangchuan looked at the woman, he vaguely felt that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before...

He frowned and thought for a moment before he stopped walking. He leaned his back against the wall behind him and smoked leisurely while listening to the woman’s singing. His expression was rather relaxed.

After an unknown period of time, the singing stopped. Only then did Mu Tangchuan recollect his thoughts. He smiled and continued walking forward.

At that time, it was not that Mu Tangchuan did not have a girlfriend. He had been with a partner in university. After graduation, the girl went abroad to study and asked Mu Tangchuan to accompany her. However, Mu Tangchuan stayed in the city. Originally, Mu Tangchuan had planned to propose to the girl two years after graduation when everyone’s jobs were settled. He even bought a ring for the proposal.

However, the girl was more ambitious. She said that Mu Tangchuan had no ambition and was willing to be a government official in an ordinary unit. What she pursued was a different life.

The girl did not know Mu Tangchuan’s background. Of course, this was also Wang Hui’s idea. She did not allow the children to mingle in the school with their family background. Firstly, it was for training and secondly, it was to protect them.

This was also the reason why Shen Yue tried to restrain Shen Wenna.

In the end, the two of them broke up. Even though for her, Mu Tangchuan had tried to make her stay.

Hence, after she left the country, she married a local second-generation wealthy man less than a year ago. Mu Tangchuan was a little sad at the time, but he was not the kind of person who would be depressed without love. After this incident, he focused all his attention on his work.

Because of his outstanding work ability and his powerful family background, he was promoted very quickly. After a few years, he became a division leader and his future was limitless, many people had already predicted that Mu Tangchuan would shine in the future.

Of course, Wang Hui was also rushing him. At that time, they did not get married too late like now. After he graduated, Wang Hui had already begun to urge him to get married. After a few years, those words were heard from the left ear in and then right ear out, Mu Tangchuan was actually a little annoyed.

After washing his face, Mu Tangchuan felt a little more awake. Only then did he turn around and leave the washroom.

‘Bang!’

Just as he walked down the stairs of the washroom, he was greeted by a slender figure. Mu Tangchuan subconsciously turned his body sideways. Unexpectedly, that figure slanted. The high heels on her feet must have slipped and she immediately crashed forward.

Mu Tangchuan was quick-witted and reached out to grab her arm. The woman also used her hand to support herself against the wall to prevent her from falling.

“Thank you!”

The woman turned her head and thanked Mu Tangchuan gratefully.

When he saw the woman’s face clearly, Mu Tangchuan was also stunned—

It was the woman who was singing in the private room earlier.

“You’re welcome.”

Mu Tangchuan quickly came back to his senses and slowly let go of his arm.

Zhuang Shurong also felt that the man in front of her was somewhat familiar, but she could not recall if they had met before.

Mu Tangchuan quickly walked forward without stopping for a moment. Zhuang Shurong felt a little surprised, but she was a little muddled after drinking a few more mouthfuls, so she did not mind. She turned around and walked into the bathroom.

...

After being promoted, he naturally had a lot of things to be busy with. By the time Mu Tangchuan was completely used to it, a few months had already passed. He did not rest for a moment during this period of time. He spent all his time on work.

Su Zhengxun and Zhou Zhenjun would come to his office to drink tea whenever they had time. Their days were just like this, and they were very busy.

It was already autumn, and the stuffy weather was over. Now, it was autumn and the air was crisp.

On this day, when Mu Tangchuan finally had some free time, he was just about to invite Su Zhengxun and the others to go to the mountains to hunt some game when the phone on his desk rang.

Mu Tangchuan picked it up, and his father Mu Yinan’s voice soon came from the other end.

“Tangchuan, it’s the weekend. Your mother just came back from the military base and made a table full of delicious dishes. Come back for a while. You haven’t been back for a few days. I’ve told your leader that I’m going to let you move back home. After all, your home is not far from your unit.”

“Father? Isn’t it enough for you to stay with Mother, I...”

“Stop making excuses. This matter is settled. There will be guests coming over today, so I’ll introduce you to them. Come back quickly. You have to be home in an hour. Your mother said this is an order.”

Mu Yinan’s tone was non-negotiable. Before Mu Tangchuan could reply, he had already hung up.

Mu Tangchuan could only hold his forehead.
