Buzz buzz buzz—
The hairdryer blew out hot air continuously, creating quite a noise.
The slightly damp long hair flowed through Mu An's fingers, smooth and slightly glistening with a pleasant fragrance.
It was clear that its owner took great care of it.
At this moment, Mu Wanrou was still in her bathrobe, with a hint of laziness in her brows.
She was fiddling with her phone, not playing games, but checking the latest updates on the group's new press conference.
From Mu An's elevated position, he could see some incredible sights.
'What a sin! What a sin! Wanrou is truly the one with the best figure among all the female leads!'
'Fortunately, I happened to be in a sage time; otherwise, I might not have been able to control myself!'
Mu An quickly gathered his thoughts, focusing on his breathing.
Originally, he planned to check Mu Wanrou's emotional rewards a bit before sleeping, which is why he suggested helping her dry her hair.
Without a second thought, she agreed.
This was also the first time he entered her room.
Unlike Mu Yuer's pink room filled with girlish charm, Mu Wanrou's room appeared somewhat plain.
The main color scheme leaned towards a subtle home style, with many books placed on the bedside table, indicating that the room's owner had a habit of reading before bed.
Just as Mu An was intentionally distracting himself with random thoughts, Mu Wanrou suddenly called out to him.
"Xiao An."
"Yes, I'm here! Is there something you need, Wanrou Jie?"
Mu An paused his actions, maintaining a smile on his face.
'Wanrou Jie is too mature; I don't even know how to brush her emotional rewards!'
"It's nothing serious, just a bit curious about how many girls you've been with lately?"
Mu Wanrou asked out of the blue.
"Wha... what do you mean?"
Mu An almost choked on his own saliva and didn't answer the question immediately.
At the same time, he was puzzled as to why she would ask such a question.
For a moment, he couldn't quite grasp her meaning.
'Logically speaking, Wanrou Jie is focused on her career and doesn't pay attention to outside matters.'
'If it weren't for the family's constant matchmaking thoughts, it feels like she would never have any interactions with men!'
'Because... there simply isn't a man worthy of her!'
The corners of Mu Wanrou's lips slightly lifted, feeling inexplicably pleased.
'So, Xiao An has always held me in such high regard?'
[Emotional fluctuation from Mu Wanrou: +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Professional Business Plan*1]!]
Mu An: ???
What is this inexplicable feeling of joy from her?
'Could it be... Wanrou Jie has a special kink for teasing me?'
Mu Wanrou also realized she had exposed a bit too much and quickly composed herself, pretending to be casual as she asked.
"It's nothing, just worried you might face setbacks outside."
"If it really doesn't work out, I can be your mentor in that area."
Mu Wanrou's tone was calm, as if she were discussing something completely ordinary.
And Mu An wasn't a child; he certainly knew what 'that area' referred to!
"What do you think?"
Seeing that her hair was almost dry, Mu Wanrou moved it aside, revealing her fair and slender neck.
The stark contrast of black and white, combined with her subtle fragrance.
Clearly, she hadn't done anything, yet it seemed enough to tempt one into a gentle embrace.
At that moment, she turned around, her glass-like eyes bright as stars, and her delicate face wore a smile that could outshine a hundred flowers.
'Wanrou Jie actually... smiled? So beautiful...'
Faced with this scene, a line of poetry involuntarily popped into Mu An's mind.
'No need for pale green or deep red; I am the best among flowers.'
'No, no! How did I almost get captivated by her beauty?!'
Mu An suddenly woke up, feeling guilty, and with great willpower, he forcibly averted his gaze.
If he kept looking, he feared he wouldn't be able to resist the impulse to pounce on her.
All he could say was... her blatant approach was too unfair!
Even he, a professional villain, almost couldn't help but feel moved!
"Wanrou Jie, please stop joking."
"I'm not joking."
"You... I know you don't want children for now because of work."
"I've looked into it; there are plenty of protective measures in that area."
"..."
Mu An was almost rendered speechless.
What was that saying again?
'I just want to brush your emotional rewards, but you're tempting me?'
'It's always been me actively pursuing the female lead; how could the female lead be pursuing me?'
'Moreover, as a villain who values purity, I absolutely cannot let such a reversal of roles happen! Absolutely not!'
"Maybe... next time? Definitely next time!"
Mu An spoke ambiguously, planning to find some excuse to brush it off.
Fortunately, Mu Yuer didn't have the same conditions and means as Mu Wanrou; otherwise, he might have already 'sunk into the sand.'
After saying that, the man awkwardly fled from her room.
Watching Mu An's retreating figure, Mu Wanrou's eyes held a hint of amusement, and she felt that this way of interacting seemed quite nice.
Compared to before, it felt more... like home now!
Knock knock—
Not long after, Mu An pushed the door open again.
This time, he brought with him a lot of business plans and high-tech blueprints.
'Wanrou Jie must be too idle lately; let me bring her some heavy-duty stuff to keep her busy!'
"Wanrou Jie, here are some materials I've collected recently; you can take a look when you have time!"
Mu An placed the items on the nearby desk without looking at her.
He didn't dare to glance at her again, fearing that 'one glance could ruin a lifetime,' and he might not be able to leave this room tonight.
Before leaving, he remembered to wish her goodnight.
"And also... Wanrou Jie, goodnight! Remember to sleep early!"
"Mm, goodnight, you too, sleep early."
The door closed.
Mu Wanrou couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
'What a coward!'
At that moment, she didn't rush to look at the materials Mu An had brought.
Instead, she caught a glimpse of the smiling woman in the full-length mirror beside her.
"So... I can smile so happily too?"
[Emotional fluctuation from Mu Wanrou: +50, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +100]!]
…..
On the other side.
Mu An had no idea why Mu Wanrou was happy.
Could it be that she really had a special kink for teasing him?
After saying goodnight to his precious girl, the man gradually fell asleep to the soft sound of the little maid Ning Er calling out names.
It really was quite soothing!
Just a bit taxing on the maid!
