Accusations of not wanting to marry: The prosecutor pressed him relentlessly.

Mu Wangbei slept relatively soundly that night.

Fang Youxi tossed and turned until 2:30 a.m. before finally falling asleep. When she got up in the morning, she looked in the mirror and cursed Mu Wangbei for five minutes while looking at her own face.

There wasn't much going on at the law firm today. Gao Li told them to sleep in until they naturally woke up before coming over. The firm was having a team-building event, and several senior partners were treating everyone to dinner to mark the end of a year of hard work, rewarding those who deserved it and encouraging those who needed it.

According to Gao Li, her name is among this year's outstanding employees, and the prize is a brand new iPhone.

She's only been with Haotian Law Firm for less than a year, and this award is clearly meant to stir up resentment against her. But in order to renew Lu Tong's contract next year, several senior partners unanimously recommended her. This shows that when it comes to money, personal relationships are worthless.

She had dinner at the WJ Hotel that evening. She didn't plan to see Mu Wangbei today and didn't want to see him for the entire Spring Festival.

Mu Wangbei rushed over as soon as he got off work, only to find that the place was empty.

After a little inquiry, I learned that Haotian was having his New Year's Eve dinner at the WJ Hotel today.

The law firm wasn't far from the WJ Hotel, so Mu Wangbei thought for a moment and drove there.

Just like Grandpa said, he would be very busy throughout the Spring Festival and probably wouldn't be able to see her. If he didn't make things clear now, he was afraid that Fang Youxi would cause him some trouble.

And today, he really missed her.

Before leaving home today, Mu Wangbei specially chose a dark red shirt, a color rarely seen in his wardrobe.

Last night, Fang Youxi said that he used his good looks to seduce him. Mu Wangbei thought that physical advantages are advantages, so he should still take care of himself.

When the event ended around 9 PM, he saw Fang Youxi coming out with people from Haotian.

Mu Wangbei went over to greet him directly. He knew Qin Yifan, after all.

"Qin Law"

Qin Yifan was talking to someone next to him when he heard someone call his name. He turned around, saw Mu Wangbei, and was stunned for a few seconds before he immediately reached out his hand: "Prosecutor Mu, oh my, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you here."

"It wasn't a coincidence. I came to pick up my girlfriend. I had wanted to visit her at the office for a while, but I was afraid of interfering with Tangtang's work. I'm grateful to Attorney Qin for taking care of her."

As Mu Wangbei shook hands with Qin Yifan, he extended his other hand towards her. Fang Youxi placed her hand in his, and the two interlocked their fingers. Several senior partners from the law firm were present today, and she was giving him face.

Qin Yifan naturally knew about Mu Wangbei's family background. He had been in the legal profession for many years. If he didn't have this much insight, wouldn't he have wasted his time? Moreover, he knew Minister Mu. Although they weren't close, they could at least exchange a few words.

This young master of the Mu family is a rare example of caution and composure among the young masters of Beicheng. Despite his young age, he is highly valued in the hall, and his future prospects are immeasurable.

He never dreamed that Mu Wangbei was actually Fang Youxi's boyfriend. He had previously thought that this Tang family's daughter and Lu Tong's CEO would develop a relationship. It seems that none of the gossip in the break room was true.

Yu hope, that girl, is really something. She's so good at keeping things under wraps; not a single word has leaked out.

Qin Yifan grinned from ear to ear, holding Mu Wangbei's hand tightly, reluctant to let go: "Our Xiao Fang is very outstanding. He even won our firm's Outstanding Lawyer award this year. The future belongs to you young people. Uncle Qin will be your stepping stone."

Even Gao Li felt ashamed and turned his head away, rolling his eyes.

To be honest, no matter how easygoing Mu Wangbei is, he doesn't know how to please others at heart, and even has an innate sense of aloofness.

He had been extremely patient today, exchanging pleasantries with each of Haotian Law Firm's senior partners, and even personally escorting Qin Yifan to his car. After all, Qin Yifan was older and was Fang Youxi's superior, so he did this to support Fang Youxi.

After seeing the person off, Fang Youxi glared at him, her gaze falling on the dark red shirt under his coat. She couldn't help but turn away and burst into laughter.

Mu Wangbei knew what she was laughing at, and walked right into her trap: "Isn't this just trying to use my looks? I don't know if it'll even work, but I'm just trying it out as a last resort."

Fang Youxi, who had managed to stop laughing, couldn't help but break down in tears again.

He took Fang Youxi's hand and went to greet the driver, telling him that he would take her home and that the driver could go home first.

Old Li then realized that this was the Third Miss's boyfriend. He was indeed very handsome and a real catch.

The two had barely gotten into the car when they started arguing again.

Mu Wangbei wanted to take Fang Youxi back to their own home, but Fang Youxi refused; she wanted to go directly back to the Tang family villa.

"Grandpa said you'd think it over carefully, and you really are? I'll never force you if you don't want to get married. Things will be the same as before, okay?"

Mu Wangbei just wanted a clear stance, so he wouldn't be unable to have a peaceful Spring Festival.

Fang Youxi looked down at the buttons on his dark red shirt. He said he wouldn't pressure her, but Grandpa Mu was putting pressure on her. Every word the old man said made sense, and it was understandable that he felt sorry for his grandson. However, he had interfered as an elder, which had disrupted the equal contractual relationship between her and Mu Wangbei. This was not fair to her.

She was able to bring Mu Wangbei back to her home because she was free from the constraints of her family. Neither her grandfather nor her father could influence her thoughts or change her beliefs.

But Mu Wangbei is different. His position and the environment in which he was educated and grew up meant that he could not abandon his family and play around with himself without any scruples.

She can live a carefree life, but he can't.

Don't be fooled by his constant talk about how things were before and how they will be after. He just wants to numb her mind, trying to use himself as bait to make her compromise step by step and eventually become the person he wants her to be.

Perhaps the initial attraction is pure, but as time goes on, this attraction becomes mixed with various demands, which can be very difficult to manage mentally.

Knowing something is one thing, but decisively letting go and leaving gracefully is another.

Fang Youxi looked up, her face fierce: "My charm won't work today. I don't want to see you. You're annoying."

Mu Wangbei wanted to lean in and kiss her, but she turned her head to the side.

The carriage was quiet, and time passed by, perhaps a few minutes, perhaps a dozen minutes.

Unable to bear the atmosphere, Mu Wangbei asked in a low voice, "Tangtang, what are you thinking about?"

Before she could answer, he added, "You really can't bear to part with me?"

Fang Youxi was torn between her inner thoughts and her physical desires, but in the end, her lower body won out. Mu Wangbei was too handsome, especially in this subtly sexy color. Damn it, he even styled his hair and sprayed on some cologne today, looking like a male model going to shoot a magazine cover.

"You're just sure I won't give up, aren't you? You're probably secretly laughing to yourself right now. You did it on purpose, reaching out to me in front of Qin Lu. Did you think I'd give you face?"

Indeed, although he introduced himself as Fang Youxi's boyfriend to his colleagues, he also gave her a chance. He reached out his hand to her, and if she responded, it meant that she was at least somewhat sincere in this relationship and was willing to give him face in front of her colleagues.

Mu Wangbei held the person in his arms: "Don't feel any pressure. If you don't want to go back, I'll send you back to Chairman Tang's place. Once you start work, you can go back to our own place. I won't bother you during the Spring Festival. Have a good New Year."

Fang Youxi listened to her heart and decided she didn't want to separate for the time being. She stopped being coy and nodded, "Okay."

Mu Wangbei cupped her face and kissed her. This time she didn't refuse, but gave a perfunctory response.
