Chapter 971 - Mu Heng caused a certain CEO fall into a pothole.
This night was destined to be a sleepless one.
Putting aside Fu Mingxuan who could not sleep because of Pei Ge’s unusual behavior, as well as the woman who was busy writing down her plan, even Young Master Mu, this Casanova who was unrelated to the matter, could not get a good sleep.
The reason was very simple.
“My young master, it’s already 2 AM! Aren’t you a little too much for calling at this hour?”
Mu Heng, who had already fallen asleep after a fun time in the club, just wanted to throw away this phone that woke him up from his sleep.
Alas, because of the caller’s identity, he did not have the guts to throw the phone away.
“Alright, alright, alright. Consider it as me being afraid of you because we are childhood friends that wore split pants while growing up together!”
Having encountered such an incident, which provided him an opportunity to lecture the man, Mu Heng became enthusiastic such that his sleepiness vanished.
He was akin to the most righteous emissary of justice as he condemned his childhood friend.
“…Pei Ge, did she… think the same?”
Ji Ziming was unlike his usually aloof and domineering persona. Currently, he was like an anxious child who knew that he had made a mistake.
“What do you think?! As a bride, Little Chili must face the fact that the groom has disappeared on her suddenly and couldn’t be reached through the phone. What would she feel? If you two were to exchange roles, what would you think?”
Mu Heng scoffed as he defended the woman.
“Don’t you know how anxious she was when she couldn’t find you on your second day of disappearance? How many times did she call you? To be honest, you really let her down!”
“…Yes, I let her down; I owe her… way too much. Too much…”
One could hear from the man’s voice the torture and self-blame that he was trying to suppress. These emotions were something he had never felt before.
The sensitive Mu Heng felt his emotions. Although he wanted to scold him some more, he could only sigh and comfort him.
“Ziming, don’t think too much. Men are prone to making mistakes. You can’t be blamed for this so don’t take it to heart. Don’t make the same mistake again and just lead a happy life with her. Don’t think too much.”
His words obviously did not make the man feel any better.
