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

Fang Youxi laughed in exasperation: "Jiajia, where did you hear these rumors?"

"My cousin and Jiang Chengyun both say you are amazing. You have Wang Bei completely under your control, and even Grandpa Mu can't do anything about him. Tangtang, you are my idol."

Fang Youxi chuckled twice.

Tan Jia asked curiously, "Did Wang Bei go to great lengths to pursue you? Cheng Yun said he spent millions to buy you gifts abroad and gave them to you. I'm so envious. I've never had a man put in any effort for me before."

As she said this, a hint of grievance appeared on her face.

She was the one who fell for Jiang Chengyun first. Come to think of it, Jiang Chengyun had never given her a gift. He only did things when she pushed him. Tan Jia knew she was quite pathetic. Recently, she had even started looking for novels and TV dramas about "arranged marriages that blossom into love" to fill in the blanks and cheer herself up.

Fang Youxi couldn't tell whether Tan Jia's words were an insult to her or Mu Wangbei.

If these words get out into the industry, how many people will laugh at Mu Wangbei for being a sycophant?

Jiang Chengyun is really bored. How can a man be such a chatterbox? He's just as much of a gossip as Lu Yanli.

She looked unconvinced, but she didn't lose her manners and upbringing. She forced a smile and said to Tan Jia, "Liking someone is just physical attraction. There's no question of who's controlling whom. Besides, if you really want to calculate it, I was the one who took the initiative first."

Just as Tan Jia was about to ask for details, Mu Wangbei and the others came in. He had been trying to control his smoking lately, worried that Fang Youxi might not like the smell of smoke.

It's easy to relieve a bad mood by smoking, but it's hard to quit all at once. I just went out and smoked half a cigarette before putting it out.

After they sat down, he whispered in her ear, "What did you talk about? I didn't expect you and Jiajia to have so much to say to each other."

Fang Youxi rested her chin on her hand and looked at him: "We talked about my Prosecutor Mu."

Her voice was soft and sweet, but she didn't deliberately lower it. Rong Qian, Chi Mo, and the others heard it and looked over curiously.

Mu Wangbei smiled broadly: "What did you say about me?"

Fang Youxi linked arms with Mu Wangbei: "I told Jiajia that I fell in love with Prosecutor Mu at first sight."

Jiang Chengyun exclaimed, "Whoa! So you started it!"

Chi Mo also became interested: "Bei Zi said he begged and pleaded to make the first move, but your versions are different. Who's telling the truth?"

Fang Youxi raised an eyebrow: "Then we're headed for each other. It's fate, a destiny ordained by heaven. You wouldn't understand."

She joked with everyone in a charming and playful way, yet subtly gave Mu Wangbei face. Rong Qian smiled, thinking to himself that this girl had truly high emotional intelligence.

The brothers were all talking and laughing. Before, they were all indignant on Mu Wangbei's behalf, feeling that with his family background and appearance, he was still being dominated by Fang Youxi. They couldn't stand it.

Now all that's left is envy. Who could resist a girl they like confessing her feelings to them in public and protecting her like that? What man could resist that?

Mu Wangbei pinched her nose, his heart melting into a lump of mud.

He didn't feel inferior when he lowered himself in front of Fang Youxi, because he truly enjoyed the abundant fruits of love.

Looking back now, Fang Youxi can't be blamed for the breakup. He did agree to her request to live together, and Fang Youxi only moved in after he accepted her views on marriage and relationships. He was just greedy and impatient.

The breakup was indeed painful and embarrassing, but now, Fang Youxi is expressing her love in front of his friends to save face for him.

He has both substance and prestige, what more could he possibly want?

Fang Youxi is extremely protective of her own people. As long as it's her people, her work, or even her law firm or her clients, she can complain about it however she wants, but others can't.

She could tolerate others talking about her behind her back; she understood that one cannot have it all.

But you can't say that she can't stand the people and things she cares about.

She just didn't want Mu Wangbei to have such a bad reputation.

Are you kidding me? Her prosecutor, Mu, is of impeccable character and appearance, and there's nothing wrong with him in any way. Why would anyone call him a simp?

No way. Even if she's just holding a stool, she has to put on a pedestal for him. Her Mu Jian is an unattainable beauty. Her man, Fang Youxi's man, even if he's just a sleeping partner, has to be held on a pedestal wherever he goes.

Tan Jia watched from the side, completely stunned. Could this really be done?

Everyone was having a good time drinking that night, and before they knew it, it was late.

Rong Qian suggested that everyone stay at the clubhouse, where there are guest rooms, and since it's the weekend, they wouldn't have to travel back and forth.

Just as Tan Jia was about to agree, Jiang Chengyun declined, saying, "No need. I've called a driver to come over and take Jiajia home first."

Chi Mo was too lazy to move: "Bei Zi, what about you two? Stop messing around."

"Does Tangtang want to go back?" Mu Wangbei asked for her opinion. Fang Youxi had also drunk some wine tonight and was feeling sleepy and listless. She leaned against Mu Wangbei and said, "You decide. I'll listen to you."

Mu Wangbei didn't want to stay here; he just wanted to go home. He couldn't stay away from home because of the business trip, but as long as he was in Beicheng, he would never stay out overnight if he could go back home.

"Brother Qian, could you find a driver to take me back?"

Rong Qian didn't waste any words: "Okay, I'll call the driver to come and get the car."

Chi Mo was initially worried that this girl was ungrateful, as beautiful girls are often cunning.

Seeing the two of them so affectionate, I felt relieved.

To be honest, it stirred up some romantic feelings in him too. He hadn't been in a relationship in a long time, and he wondered if this sour, rotten feeling was really that intoxicating.

On the way back, Mu Wangbei whispered in Fang Youxi's ear, "How can my Tangtang be so good?"

He felt a sense of satisfaction at being publicly confessed to tonight, as if he were someone's favorite.

He was filled with excitement all night.

Fang Youxi glared at him: "Isn't this supposed to be an annoying treat today?"

"Even annoying candy is sweet." Mu Wangbei couldn't help himself and gently kissed her earlobe.

Fang Youxi got goosebumps all over and pushed the person away in disgust.

The driver in front is still here.

She thought to herself that Mu Wangbei was too easily satisfied; she didn't even need to use her brain to make someone happy.

After sending Tan Jia back, Jiang Chengyun suddenly didn't want to go back to the empty villa.

Watching Mu Wangbei and Fang Youxi being all lovey-dovey across the room all night reminded me of when he was still with Yun Qiao.

Back then, he took Yun Qiao with him wherever he went. She always obediently followed him, giving him face. Whether in life or in relationships, she put him first, satisfying all the vanity a man could have.

Tonight, for some reason, he especially missed Yun Qiao.

She didn't even take the restaurant, and she left a lot of things at home. Apart from a few sets of jewelry, Jiang Chengyun estimated that she had at most a hundred or so items. What could she possibly spend them on? In Beicheng, it wouldn't even cover the down payment for a small apartment, let alone the fact that she hadn't worked since graduation. He really didn't know how she was going to manage.
