Ye Mu didn’t say anything, stood in place and lowered his eyes to move his gaze away.

Chen Mo’s eyes were sharp. He took something from the side of the cabinet, his chin slightly raised, “Get out of my house.”

Ye Mu nodded his head in silence and took half a step forward, wanting to carry a suitcase, but before he could reach out, he saw something dazzling floated past his eyes.

Time seemed to stand still for a long time.

He was silent for a while and got up, with a face of indifference, “Mr. Chen, can you put the knife down first.”

Chen Mo warily half narrowed his eyes, his thin lips carrying a hostile aura, “Dmn gay, dare to try to take half a step again.”

Ye Mu understated, “I just went over to get the suitcase.”

Chen Mo sneered, the dagger in his hand pointed sharply at Ye Mu, mockingly saying, “Cut it out! If it’s really just taking the suitcase, how do you explain that thing in your crotch?”

Ye Mu looked at him with no expression on his face, “Mr. Chen, if I’m not mistaken, you smoked ‘Boba’ at home, right?”

Boba is a type of aphrodisiac that mainly stimulates men through the effect of aromatherapy, focusing on helping men who aren’t great in certain aspects regain their virility.

He smelled it after he opened the door and entered the room, and then seeing the door securely locked, it was only natural to think of what Chen Mo was doing inside. To avoid embarrassment, he just wanted to pack up and leave quickly, but unexpectedly, there was still a conflict in the end.

“So what?” The meanness in Chen Mo’s long and narrow phoenix eyes remained the same.

Ye Mu stood there and patiently said, “So I was also just affected by this fragrance and didn’t have any inappropriate thoughts about you.”

Chen Mo let out a cold sneer, weighing and fiddling the dagger in his hand, his eyes haughty and ruthless, “I don’t care if you have any thoughts or not. You’re not going to do anything rash today until you’ve made that thing behave.”

Ye Mu had no choice. He looked at him coldly and calmly for a moment, his thin lips slightly opened, “Mind having a smoke?”

Chen Mo’s slender phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, “Can.”

“Thanks.” Ye Mu said, bowed his head and took out the cigarette box from his pants pocket. He took out a cigarette from it with his fair and slender fingers, lit it, and put it on his lips to take a light sip.

The choking smoke lingered in his lungs and eventually slowly poured out.

The curls of smoke gradually filled the air everywhere, covering the original scent from the aromatherapy.

The way Ye Mu smoked was very gentlemanly and elegant, with a unique and charming taste.

Chen Mo watched from the side without making a sound.

The burning flame was faintly visible until the cigarette butt was completely burned out. In the blink of an eye, Ye Mu had already peacefully let his original tent, which was held up high, hold back.

Chen Mo absently glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and whistled uninhibitedly, “Not bad.”

Ye Mu didn’t answer and silently walked over to pick up the suitcase and left.

Chen Mo looked at his tall and thin back, and didn’t put down the dagger in his hand until he was far away.

After Ye Mu settled the luggage, he gave Liu Yi a call.

The other end quickly picked up.

“Hello, Ye Mu, is everything done?”

Ye Mu faintly hummed, “Already packed and placed.”

Liu Yi said her thanks.

Ye Mu didn’t answer back.

Liu Yi felt somewhat strange and couldn’t help but open her mouth to inquire, “Is there something wrong?”

Ye Mu quietly looked out the car window, “I ran into Mr. Chen in the apartment.”

Liu Yi was somewhat astonished, expressing concern, “Nothing happened to you?”

Ye Mu’s expression was very calm, “I’m fine.”, He paused for a while before continuing, “Sister Liu, Mr. Chen seems to be very terrified of gays.”

Liu Yi had some hesitation, but still replied, “I also noticed. Recently, I did an investigation and found that he had a criminal record back in senior high school. The cause was a crime of malicious assault, and the person who was attacked at that time was a homosexual.”

Ye Mu frowned, “If so, perhaps it will be difficult for me to fulfill the task of this business trip.”

“No, things are not as simple as you think. Ye Mu, you may not know that Mr. Chen is the illegitimate son of Yan Henan, the president of Shengshi Group.”

“He has an older brother named Yan Chen. At that time, he took Chen Mo to the gay bar and looked for someone to sxually harass him. Chen Mo maliciously hurt the person out of self-defense. Later, a series of things were just a ploy of his elder brother secretly making things difficult for him.”

“Mr. Chen was sent to a youth detention center for a while because of this matter, and it also left a very bad impression on his father. He didn’t acknowledge him for many years. It wasn’t until his elder brother came out of the closet and left that his father remembered him and took him back home.”

“Don’t be fooled by Mr. Chen’s seemingly glamorous surface. He founded Phiona at a young age, but no one can understand the hardships he went through behind the scenes. Ye Mu, you’re a man of talent, and in many ways, I hope you can stay and help him…”

The voice on the other end of the phone continued to talk non-stop, Ye Mu’s train of thought, however, had long since flown far away.

If he remembered correctly, he also had participated in this matter that Liu Yi was talking about.

At that time, Yan Chen arranged everything, but because Chen Mo was acting out of self-defense, the police department couldn’t file a case, so it was entrusted to Ye Mu who misappropriated his personal connections to point the case all the way to the attacker’s side.

Ye Mu at that time was in a state of frantic pursuit of love. He did as instructed without thinking. He had the police department leave a criminal record on Chen Mo, and successfully helped his beloved drive away the so-called disaster he claimed.

Eight years later, he didn’t expect that the victim would be Chen Mo.

Just now, Chen Mo could be so vigilantly holding a dagger against himself, presumably because that time had left a certain psychological shadow.

Ye Mu felt quite guilty. Interrupting the other end of the call, he spoke, “Sister Liu, you said all that just to urge me to take this job. Don’t worry, I’ll go.”

Liu Yi instantly sighed in relief, thanked him many times, and said goodbye only after a long time of further advice.

Ye Mu hung up the call. With his head lowered, he fell into deep thought.

——

The day before his business trip, Chen Mo received a message from Yan Henan, which meant that his younger brother’s fifth birthday was today and asked him to come home for a meal.

When Chen Mo saw it, he disdainfully dragged it into the trash bin to delete, but he still went there at night.

When entering, the house was quite lively, and this family had all settled down in the living room.

This of course included Yan Chen.

Yan Chen had always been fed up with this illegitimate son of his father. Seeing Chen Mo come in, he just glanced at him with a detached gaze and didn’t pay much attention to him.

The one who also looked at him with displeasure, was also Li Wen. As the head wife of the Yan family, she really hated this bastard Chen Mo, but in order to save face for her husband, she was still the first who greeted Chen Mo, “Here you are. Quick, please have a seat, we’re only waiting for you.”

Chen Mo’s expression was bland as he walked over and sat down.

Yan Henan nodded at him and with a dignified attitude said, “The company has been doing well lately.”

A trace of disgust flashed across Chen Mo’s eyes without a trace, but he still obediently said, “It’s all because father taught me well.”

Yan Henan laughed in satisfaction, “It’s also the result of your own hard work, no need to be modest.”

Chen Mo bowed his head, not speaking.

Yan Henan smiled affectionately and in passing patted his youngest son Yan Zhe who had been solely preoccupied on eating, “Yan Zhe, don’t just focus on eating, call out your elder brother.”

Yan Zhe hadn’t seen Chen Mo for a long time. After hearing this, he raised his plump face. Chewing on his mouth, he said in a stammered and unclear manner, “Dad, is he that money-losing bastard with a dead mother?”
