"I didn't expect that Gu Xingze would also lose his composure over a woman."
Gu Xingze countered with a solemn look, "Composure? This goes for you, too, CEO Mu. Aren't you ashamed of using such methods just to get a woman?"
Mu Yazhe's eyes dimmed and he coldly replied, "I'm a businessman. I get what I want, and this includes her. She's my woman; I won't allow anyone to covet her."
His tyrannical warning stunned Gu Xingze.
He suddenly realized that the man was possessive of Yun Shishi to the point of being cruel to her.
The man had always been ambitious and would use whatever means necessary to get what he wanted.
He saw the danger of losing her.
He had even forced her to take off that evening gown at the boutique store earlier because he disliked seeing her being glamorous for another man.
In this gala, she was outstanding and radiant. Every man present was besotted with her.
He also saw her reliance and trust in Gu Xingze.
As a man with keen business acumen, he easily understood that he would lose his chance with her if he did not do something about it.
He wanted her so badly he would clip off her wings to prevent her from flying away. He would cage her to his side so that others would not have a chance with her.
He could give her unlimited amount of love and pampering, but she could only have this in his embrace and no one else's. He was such a person.
"Your woman?" Gu Xingze had a disdainful look. "What about Mu Wanrou, then?"
"Oh, don't you know?" He sneered. "Her presence is inconsequential."
"Inconsequential?" Gu Xingze was unable to mask his surprise.
Not much was known about Mu Yazhe, except that he had a childhood sweetheart for a fiancee. They were engaged with a son. Still, there were rumors of Mu Wanrou being infertile, and even world-renowned specialists could not fix her congenital issue.
It was said that their son was from surrogacy.
Gu Xingze inhaled sharply at this thought…
Surrogacy…
Mu Yazhe looked penetratingly at the other man and smiled slightly upon sensing his suspicion. He then coldly confirmed, "Little Yichen's biological mother is Yun Shishi."
"…" Gu Xingze was badly shaken by this news and stared disbelievingly at the man.
Mu Yazhe causally asked, "Is it wrong to go after my child's mother?"
Gu Xingze recalled those shocking details. That boy he had seen beside her indeed possessed the same features as Little Yichen.
If this was the case, everything could be explained.
She was the surrogate mother chosen by the Mu family back then? Why? What did that mean to him now?
He did not mind her past.
Gu Xingze gazed up at him and determinedly said, "Love goes both ways, right? She will not fall in love with you!"
"She will." The man lifted his head. With his proud chin held high, he resolutely declared, "She will fall in love with me."
His words were spoken aloofly and tyrannically. This was confidence only a business tycoon could have. No one could fight with such charisma.
He strode off after saying this.
Gu Xingze stood rooted to the spot…
