The Villainous Celebrity Wife of the CEO - Chapter 146.3

“Aren’t they in a relationship?”

Fang Xie: “They shouldn’t be… I asked Sister Su this question, and she said she would rather marry a geological hammer than a big pig’s hoof(scumbag)[1].”

“…” Su Jinqing confirmed again, “So Mr. Mu doesn’t know that my sister and I are twins?”

“Yes, he doesn’t know. Even Xiao Xia doesn’t know about this matter!” Ashan quickly added, “Mr. Mu never found out that Su Jin is a substitute.”

Su Jinqing thought that since Mu Xiulun didn’t even know that they were twins, it seemed that he and Su Jishi were really just ‘acquaintances’ with each other.

As the day dawned, Su Jinqing, who hadn’t slept for over thirty hours, looked extraordinarily weary, but she didn’t want to rest. Her sister’s life and death was still unknown. She couldn’t sleep peacefully even if she lay down.

Just then, there was a sharp rap at the door of Su Jin’s apartment.

How could someone knock on the door at this hour?

The neighborhood was a private community with great attention to privacy. Without a room card, not to ment elevator access, visitors couldn’t even enter the gates of the neighborhood.

Everyone froze for a moment.

The rapping on the door got louder and more urgent, seemingly like if the person inside the house didn’t respond, the person outside the door would break the door open.

“Su Jin!!!” The man’s voice was hoarse, coming from outside the door. “I can see the light on. Are you home?”

That voice——

……

The door in front of him suddenly opened.

Mu Xiulun knocked in the air, and he hurriedly withdrew his action. However, it was too late for him to keep the ‘relief’ that surfaced on his face.

The person who opened the door was Su Jin —— She was wearing fluffy pajamas, with her long hair cascading down her shoulders.

When the door opened, the hot air and bright light hit his face. Mu Xiulun subconsciously squinted, and upon seeing her standing safe and sound within his vision, the tightness in his chest that remained all night was finally relieved.

When he contacted Su Jin by WeChat a few hours ago, he learned that someone had asked her to meet her under his name.

He hurriedly called to stop her, but the call was disconnected halfway through, and then no matter how he called again, it showed that her phone was turned off.

He was so anxious and frantic in fear that something had happened to her, so he immediately took a private plane back to Beijing overnight.

After five long hours of torment on the plane, his nerves collapsed to the extreme.

It was also at that moment that he finally realized how much he really cared about Su Jin.

Before he met her, he thought his entire life was dedicated to his work, and his only goal was to get back at the Mu family. For this reason, he could sacrifice his hobbies, his dreams, and become a businessman filled with the stink of copper.

But with Su Jin, he tasted what he had never experienced before.

He cared about her; he worried about her, he wanted to understand her… He didn’t want to be just a ‘former golden master’ in Su Jin’s eyes, someone who would only ask her to go horseback riding.

Mu Xiulun wanted to be her man.

He’d been high-strung all night and kept calling Su Jin’s phone after he landed, but her phone remained off, so he could only rush to Su Jin’s home to try his luck.

Fortunately —— Su Jin appeared in front of his eyes safe and sound.

But…why did this Su Jin feel so unfamiliar?

She was obviously still her, but that feeling that made him worry about her suddenly disappeared.

“What exactly happened last night?” Mu Xiulun forced himself to calm down and talk about the business first; “Why was our call cut off halfway through our conversation? Who looked for you?”

Su Jin was stunned. After a long time, she gently replied, “…A friend played a prank last night.”

“Prank?” This answer made Mu Xiulun feel even more strange. “Then why is your phone off?”

“…My phone’s out of power. I forgot to charge it.” Her answer remained orderly.

All her answers were undoubtedly watertight, but an unspeakable sense of contradiction lingered in Mu Xiulun’s heart.

Mu Xiulun’s eyes fell on Su Jin. He carefully and seriously examined her a few times, then suddenly asked, “Why has your grown longer?”

Su Jin did not panic. She slightly raised her hand to brush the hair scattered around her ears, and said softly: “It’s the show’s requirement, a wig.”

Su Jin glanced sideways at the clock in the foyer and said with some difficulty, “Excuse me, Mr. Mu, I’m in a meeting with my agency team, so if there’s nothing else, please leave.”

Wrong.

Wrong.

Wrong.

Mu Xiulun looked at the familiar but unfamiliar face in front of him and felt as if there was an invisible film between them.

He didn’t know what was behind the film, but that something carried a magical power that was drawing him to the truth.

The door of the room was gradually closing in front of him, and just when the girl’s face was about to disappear in front of him, the man roughly stretched out his hand, forcibly crashed through the door panel and directly clutched the girl’s wrist!

“Ouch!”

Su Jin exclaimed.

The door to the room was flung wide open, and the three men gathered in the living room immediately got up and looked at them. Mu Xiulun glanced hastily at them. Two of them were Su Jin’s agent and make-up artist, and there was a strange and robust man he had never seen before.

“Let go.” The unfamiliar man rushed forward in quick strides.

He was tanned, and his hair was shaved short. He exuded an aura of danger from head to toe. Mu Xiulun had seen such people in those war-torn countries, and they were invariably special forces soldiers who had just been discharged and had seen blood on their hands.

Who is this dangerous man? Is he Su Jin’s newly hired bodyguard?

The wheels in Mu Xiulun’s mind turned, and he immediately dropped his full attention on the weak girl in front of him.

The same features…the same body shape…but a very different temperament…

He stared at her, and blurted out something that he thought was ridiculous: “——Are you really Su Jin?”
