Chapter 886 The 'Dummy' Who Refused to Be Bound for a Lifetime (24)
Before Mu Zhou could react, Shen Junchuan launched into his long speech about not breaking up.
She was slightly out of breath, her eyes flickering:
"……separate?"
These two words instantly made Shen Junchuan's eyes widen in fury:
"You really want to break up with me?!"
He suddenly applied force to his hand, and Mu Zhou couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Ah... let go, uh..."
Before Mu Zhou could finish speaking, his lips were sealed with hers.
The rest of the words were swallowed.
Mu Zhou struggled with a muffled groan as her lips were bitten hard, which only fueled Shen Junchuan's intense possessiveness.
He gripped that slender waist, wishing he could swallow the girl in his arms whole.
His chest heaved violently, his heart racing uncontrollably. He kissed her forcefully, murmuring softly:
"Zhouzhou, we will never be separated, I will never let go."
It sounded like a threat, or perhaps a frantic declaration.
Mu Zhou tilted her head back slightly, her teeth piercing her skin, and the stinging pain in her collarbone made her bite her lip.
"Shen Junchuan! What's wrong with you?!"
She managed to utter those words with a trembling voice.
Shen Junchuan stiffened, slowly stepped back a little, and stared straight at her with gloomy eyes.
At this moment, Mu Zhou's shirt was half-undone, several buttons had popped open, and the collar was torn open, revealing half of his shoulder.
Her fair skin had a captivating pink hue, and her eyes were fixed intently on him.
She was so angry, yet incredibly alluring.
Shen Junchuan swallowed hard, his chest heaving violently.
He wasn't much better off himself.
In the chaos, Mu Zhou scratched him several times.
At this moment, there were obvious scratch marks on his neck from fingernails.
Looking at Mu Zhou, his eyes were dark and deep, and he didn't say a word.
When he tried to kiss her again, Mu Zhou pushed him away by covering her chest with her hands.
"Shen Junchuan, explain yourself! You did something wrong and then you're the one who's accusing me first!"
She glared at him with a wronged look, her eyes welling up with tears.
The madness in Shen Junchuan's eyes vanished abruptly, and reason returned.
She was carefully analyzing her words.
The guilty party accuses the innocent first? Is it because of a guilty conscience?
His heart sank, and he frowned, saying:
"What did Song Huaizhi say to you? Was he trying to sow discord?"
"How did you know it was Song Huaizhi...?"
Mu Zhou was taken aback, not expecting him to suddenly mention Song Huaizhi's name, and then his eyes widened.
"You're following me?!"
"...No, I'm not."
Shen Junchuan hurriedly offered an explanation.
He felt that there were a lot of contradictions, all tangled together, and that he couldn't explain them clearly.
Left with no other choice, he lowered his head and kissed Mu Zhou's lips again, ignoring her resistance, and lifted her up by her bottom.
Finally, he pinned her down on the sofa, pinning her hands above her head, giving her no chance to resist.
"I'm sorry, I had someone investigate who you met today. I just felt insecure because you were suddenly so cold towards me. I was afraid you would meet him and that he might try something funny. I'm sorry."
His apology was sincere.
Mu Zhou snorted coldly.
Shen Junchuan tentatively kissed her, nuzzling his nose against her cheek in a flattering gesture.
"Please forgive me. Tell me what he said to you."
He kissed the corner of her eye, his voice pleading:
"You can't deny me even a chance to explain."
Despite Shen Junchuan's current aggrieved and humble appearance, he was practically seething with hatred for Song Huaizhi.
He was certain that the wicked mummified corpse that crawled out of the ancient tomb had spoken ill of him.
It must be very serious, even the kind that slanders his character.
Otherwise, Mu Zhou wouldn't have treated him like that.
But he had to calm Mu Zhou down first.
As expected, Mu Zhou responded better to gentle persuasion than force.
As she gradually calmed down, she recounted everything she had heard from Song Huaizhi.
Upon hearing this, Shen Junchuan cursed inwardly.
Damn it! That damn zombie.
How dare they slander his innocence behind his back!
He nervously explained to Mu Zhou:
"I didn't! He's talking nonsense! He's just jealous!"
My mother's side is indeed a large family, a noble family in the Kingdom of Puya, and they have many rules.
But they weren't too harsh on him.
Moreover, he himself is not the type to be bullied.
From a young age, no one could force him to do things he didn't like.
Even when he entered the entertainment industry, he loved acting, and no one could object; he defied all opposition.
Moreover, he has a keen eye for investment and business, and has built his own business empire over the years, so he can operate without relying on his family's resources and power.
The Song family, with their pretentious feudal practices, actually dared to slander his family.
Shen Junchuan was indignant and almost cursed.
Mu Zhou rarely saw him so angry, and he almost couldn't suppress his smile.
But he kept a cold expression, and his tone revealed neither joy nor anger.
"Then explain, I'll listen."
Shen Junchuan immediately suppressed his rage and gave a serious and detailed explanation.
First of all, his family will not interfere with his affairs, and since last year, he has been gradually taking over the family business.
Secondly, even if his family really wanted to interfere, he wouldn't back down.
Anyone who opposes his relationship with Mu Zhou will stand against him, and he will show no mercy.
Finally, there's the daughter from a prominent family that Song Huaizhi mentioned.
He was unaware of this matter.
However, this time when my parents returned to China, they brought several relatives and friends with them, with the purpose of investigating new projects.
It has nothing to do with personal matters.
The young woman Song Huaizhi mentioned was probably one of the people in this group.
As for a marriage alliance, that's utter nonsense.
Their family has no tradition of arranged marriages, and Shen Junchuan is not a puppet to be manipulated.
Shen Junchuan also did not think that he should take Mu Zhou to see his parents immediately after they returned to China.
They're not the Jade Emperor, so what's there to pay homage to?
Mu Zhou is his partner.
Once he and Mu Zhou have finalized their marriage plans, they will naturally meet as relatives.
Anyway, we won't see each other often after marriage.
After hearing his explanation, Mu Zhou's eyelashes trembled, and her eyes sparkled.
"Then... I'll reluctantly believe you."
Shen Junchuan's eyes lit up, and he kissed her lips forcefully.
“You must tell me anything he says in the future, okay? You’re too naive. You don’t know how wicked an old man like Song Huaizhi is. He can’t stand to see us doing well.”
Shen Junchuan spared no effort in slandering Song Huaizhi.
Mu Zhou glanced at him and struggled to free himself from the hand that was pressing down on his head.
"Let me go first."
Shen Junchuan, however, did not release him.
He leaned closer, his voice hoarse:
"You didn't believe me this time either. I'm hurt."
Mu Zhou's heart skipped a beat at his deliberately lowered voice.
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, nibbling on her earlobe:
You have to make it up to me.
Mu Zhou's body went limp in one side, but he still stubbornly refused:
"No, I have an event tomorrow..."
He would always make a scene until the early hours of the morning, preventing her from getting any sleep.
Although Mu Zhou was the one who was purely enjoying himself, he also felt a sense of being drained.
We still need to be moderate and restrained.
However, Shen Junchuan clearly didn't think so.
He got up, tore off his shirt and threw it away, and before Mu Zhou could struggle to sit up, he pushed her back down.
"Get up early tomorrow? Then I should do it even earlier so I can sleep a little longer."
He then shut her up from her incessant chatter.
