Chapter 1248 A Bigger Storm

Mrs. Cheng's return foreshadows the coming of a bigger storm.

After seeing Mrs. Cheng off, Cheng Yunchuan returned to the bedroom with an uncertain look. He closed the door and looked at Jiang Mubai, who was drinking tea calmly on the sofa. Complex emotions flashed in his deep eyes.

Jiang Mubai noticed his gaze and said in a relaxed tone: "Mr. Cheng, how many years have you been scolded? Even your rebuttal is so smooth?"

Cheng Yunchuan rubbed his forehead, walked up to her, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, are you angry when she said that to you?"

Jiang Mubai put down the teacup and glanced at him with the corner of his eye, with a faint smile on his lips: "Why are you angry? She is my enemy! My enemy's praise makes me feel uncomfortable. It's right for her to scold me like this."

Cheng Yunchuan was choked by her words and didn't know what to say. He was obviously very angry, but she easily turned it into an absurd sense of humor.

He looked at her calm and composed look, and felt even more pity for her in his heart. His hands moved slightly, and he wished he could hold her in his arms and isolate her from the wind and rain outside.

"Mubai."

His voice was low and hoarse, his eyes were gentle but also faintly fierce: "She won't succeed. No matter what, I won't let go of your hand."

Jiang Mubai looked up at him, his eyes slightly bright, but he quickly suppressed the emotion that was revealed.

She raised her chin slightly and smiled nonchalantly: "Oh, who asked you to protect me? Cheng Yunchuan, don't get me wrong, I am a little poisonous and don't keep useless people. It is natural for me to recruit you to protect me. Isn't that the direction you should work towards?"

Cheng Yunchuan was amused by her and the tense atmosphere eased slightly, but his face was not completely relaxed.

He sat down on the sofa next to Jiang Mubai, leaned closer to her, and said in a slightly heavy tone: "But Mubai, if one day you are too tired, you can rely on me, not just alternately pulling, but completely relying on me."

Jiang Mubai was startled for a moment, his eyes wavered a little, but he quickly regained his composure.

She reached out and poked his chest, pretending to be disgusted: "Depend on you? But my shoulders are the magnet for trouble, right? You need to exercise and have some muscles to be reliable."

Cheng Yunchuan chuckled, grabbed her hand, and said in a gentle tone, "Jiang Mubai, I'm serious."

Jiang Mubai's heart trembled, he lowered his eyes, and his fingertips curled slightly in his palm. The two of them didn't speak again, but they felt the feelings quietly growing for each other in the silent atmosphere.

However, this moment of warmth is merely the calm before the storm.

"Knock, knock, knock!" A rapid knock on the door abruptly broke the atmosphere. Cheng Yunchuan frowned and stood up to open the door.

Standing outside the door was his assistant Li Mo, with obvious panic on his face: "Brother Cheng, this is bad. Big news just broke. It's spreading online..."

"Don't be anxious, come in and talk it out." Cheng Yunchuan said in a low voice and let Li Mo into the house.

Li Mo didn't even have time to drink water, and directly pulled up the latest hot search news on his mobile phone: "Didn't they say that Madam Cheng returned to the country in a low-key manner? Maybe some paparazzi has been eyeing her, and now the whole network is spreading the news that the purpose of her return is to stop you and... uh, Miss Jiang from being together!"

Jiang Mubai raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Okay, this guy is too impatient to even put the stumbling block in the open."

"What's the content?"

Cheng Yunchuan took the phone and his eyes quickly swept across the screen. On the page, a very large and bold headline came into view: "Ms. Cheng Jiayin, the mother of Mr. Cheng, is dissatisfied with her son's rumored girlfriend and insists that she is not worthy of Cheng's status. Is she afraid to personally come out to break up the two?"

Attached below is a blurry secretly taken photo, which shows an intimate scene between Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan, with the markings particularly eye-catching.

Cheng Yunchuan's face immediately turned cold. He picked up the phone with a little force due to anger, and the screen made a slight sound as if it could not bear the weight.

"Rubbish title." Cheng Yunchuan said in a deep voice, the aura around him becoming increasingly oppressive.

Jiang Mubai leaned over and glanced calmly, then couldn't help but chuckle, "Their title is quite talented, almost catching up with the four masters of marketing accounts. Cheng Yunchuan, I suddenly feel that it would be inappropriate not to use our relationship as a gossip king."

"Mu Bai." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low and subdued. He looked up at her with a serious look, "Don't take this as a joke, they will only push it further."

"Okay, I'm not afraid of those flies and bees on the Internet anymore." Jiang Mubai looked relaxed and even reached out to touch the screen of his mobile phone.

"Besides, I don't believe this was just an accidental photo. When will I start to fight back?"

Cheng Yunchuan's eyes froze for a moment, then he lowered his voice and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Jiang Mubai lowered his head, curled his lips, and spoke slowly: "Of course I tore up the marketing account! Who let them touch my Feng Shui?"

Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and handed the phone back to Li Mo: "Contact the public relations team and handle it immediately."

He turned to look at Jiang Mubai, with a barely perceptible worry in his eyes: "Mubai, I will take care of this matter, don't worry."

Jiang Mubai raised his eyebrows, looking like he didn't take it to heart at all: "Worried? What should I worry about? Worried that your mom will break up the couple? Or worried that netizens will call me a toad wanting to eat swan meat? Come on, when I was a big shot, these people were still playing in the mud."

Cheng Yunchuan looked at her nonchalant expression, feeling helpless and amused. He knew that although Jiang Mubai appeared calm and composed on the surface, she was actually very stubborn and would never give in easily.

Jiang Mubai suddenly changed his address and his tone became serious: "Cheng Jue, since someone wants to play, then we will play with her. I also want to see how capable this Mrs. Cheng is."

There was a sly gleam in her eyes, like a cheetah ready to pounce on its prey at any time.

Cheng Yunchuan was slightly stunned, then a doting smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

He liked Jiang Mubai's unwillingness to admit defeat, and admired her calmness in the face of challenges: "Okay, let's play together." His voice was low and magnetic, like a promise, but also like a declaration of war.

Li Mo stood aside, looking at the undercurrent in the atmosphere between the two, and couldn't help but shudder. He suddenly had a premonition that this matter might not end so easily.

Based on his understanding of Cheng Yunchuan, this seemingly gentle actor will unleash amazing power once his bottom line is touched.

What's more, now with the addition of Jiang Mubai, an "ally" with extremely high combat power, this "game" is bound to be exciting.

Cheng Yunchuan suddenly spoke up, interrupting Li Mo's thoughts: "Li Mo, go check who leaked the information this time."

"Understood." Li Mo responded immediately. He knew that Cheng Yunchuan was about to fight back.
