Chapter 507 The Orphan Girl Who Will No Longer Be Manipulated (The End)
Occasionally, when Mu Zhou unintentionally mentions Jiang Yan, he always speaks of his gentle and refined nature.
That tone made Gu Yanli feel slightly uncomfortable.
Warm and smooth like jade?
What a joke! How could someone who's only focused on climbing the social ladder be a gentle person?
It was just a facade in front of Mu Zhou.
He naturally couldn't let Jiang Yan leave such an impression on Mu Zhou.
After he exposed Jiang Yan as not being a virtuous gentleman, Mu Zhou's expression did not change in any particular way.
Gu Yanli's discomfort subsided somewhat.
When he saw Mu Zhou about to pick up the tablet again, the smile on his lips froze.
Mu Zhou is actually busier than him now.
He wanted to forcefully take the tablet away, so she would stop working and focus all her attention on him.
But thinking about the consequences of doing the same thing last time—that she had given him the silent treatment for a day and six hours—Gu Yanli hesitated again.
He gazed intently at Mu Zhou, who was focused on his work.
A moment later, he got up and went to the bathroom.
Mu Zhou glanced up at the document once and then continued processing it.
The number of decisions the group's leader has to make is unexpectedly large, and she needs to put in a lot of effort since she just took over.
After an unknown amount of time, the bathroom door reopened, and footsteps approached.
Mu Zhou only raised his eyes when a refreshing mist wafted towards him.
Gu Yanli was already standing in front of her.
His hair was slightly damp, and the sharp features of his face became much clearer after being wet, making his superior bone structure even more apparent.
Even the intimidating pressure in his eyes seemed to have been washed away.
The black bathrobe hung loosely on her body, revealing most of her chest, with only a belt casually tied around her waist.
But the belt was loose, as if it would come undone with the slightest tug.
He took another step closer, and the belt almost reached Mu Zhou's hand, swaying there.
It silently beckons people to touch it.
Mu Zhou withdrew his gaze and looked at Gu Yanli again.
He slowly dried his hair with a towel, then casually tossed the towel aside.
"Aren't you going to rest?"
His voice was clear and crisp, and his disheveled hair slightly obscured his slender eyes.
Her thin, reddish lips still retained a trace of moisture, appearing much fuller compared to her usual aloofness.
Mu Zhou stared at him silently.
Seduction.
A blatant act of seduction.
Mu Zhou was certain.
Just as she was about to speak, 0001, who had been absent from her mind for a long time, suddenly spoke up.
Just as Mu Zhou was about to complain, it appeared at the very end of the story, and then it announced it first:
[Host's wish has been fulfilled; the favorability rating for the male lead, Gu Yanli, has reached 100%]
Mu Zhou was stunned.
The male lead? Gu Yanli?
Isn't the male lead Jiang Yan?!
Mu Zhou confirmed with 0001 again, only to find out that she had initially mistaken the male lead.
She actually completed the strategy mission by accident.
This is an unexpected surprise!
In those few seconds of distraction, Gu Yanli had already frowned.
Mu Zhou was clearly distracted.
Thinking of someone else?
Who is it?
Gu Yanli's heart sank, and the darkness in his eyes turned crimson.
He bent down, lifted Mu Zhou's chin, and kissed him without any hesitation.
The burning lips and slight stinging sensation awakened Mu Zhou.
She blinked, and before she could react, her wrist was grabbed and she was pushed onto the sofa.
In her haste, she caught the belt on the bathrobe, and in an instant, the bathrobe slipped down.
Gu Yanli's muscular body was exposed to Mu Zhou.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and well-defined muscle lines.
It's not the kind of muscle definition that comes from deliberate training, but rather a body brimming with power.
Even after watching it countless times, Mu Zhou still couldn't help but marvel at how perfect his body was.
Both of them paused. Gu Yanli looked at the light in her eyes, then smiled knowingly.
"So eager? Fine, I'll let you take the initiative."
His indulgent tone made it seem as if he was simply giving in helplessly.
As he spoke, he put his arm around her waist and moved them to another position.
After a spinning motion, he was pinned down by Mu Zhou, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes and eyebrows raised in a wild, unrestrained manner.
Mu Zhou lay on his chest, listening to the soft laughter that escaped his throat, and couldn't help but bite his shoulder hard.
Beauty is misleading.
A large hand pinched his waist hard, forcing Mu Zhou to sink down and press himself closely against Gu Yanli.
Almost the instant Mu Zhou touched Gu Yanli's hard chest, he went limp.
Without further hesitation, Gu Yanli gripped the back of her neck and kissed her lips again, leaving no room for argument.
A subtle sweetness spread from their tightly pressed lips, causing Gu Yanli's heart to race, and his tongue couldn't help but lick her lips, wanting more.
The hand that was on her waist moved upwards, ravaging her through the thin nightgown.
Mu Zhou felt her whole body go numb from his kiss; the trembling from his aggressive lips made her blush and want to hide.
But at this moment, she was on top, with nowhere to hide, and could only respond to his force.
Her burning lips and rough hands sent a jolt through her senses like an electric current.
Seeing that she was breathing rapidly and almost couldn't catch her breath, Gu Yanli finally loosened his grip on her a little.
With just a glance, his expression darkened, and he almost kissed her again.
At this moment, Mu Zhou's eyes were confused, shrouded in a layer of misty haze, making them look wet and pitiful.
Her hair hung down in a disheveled manner, some strands clinging to her neck and cheeks due to sweat, giving her a messy yet alluring look.
Gu Yanli watched with envy, his handsome face covered in fine beads of sweat.
His chest heaved for a moment, then he lifted Mu Zhou by the waist and carried him back to the room...
After a long while, Mu Zhou, her face flushed, nestled back into his arms, slowly calming her breathing.
Gu Yanli's muscles weren't so cold and hard when they were relaxed, so it was quite comfortable to use as a pillow.
It feels good to the touch.
She was satisfied.
Mu Zhou's satisfied little expression made Gu Yanli smile helplessly.
He fought for power and profit abroad for more than ten years, never imagining that one day he would need to rely on his beauty to attract attention.
Fortunately, his face and body were enough to attract Mu Zhou's attention.

As time went by, the past of the Mu family was gradually forgotten.
Only occasionally, when wealthy families are mentioned online, will someone mention the story of the biological son hiring someone to kill his father.
Then they marveled at Mu Zhou's good fortune, not only inheriting the Lianzhong Group but also forming a powerful alliance with the Gu family.
Only one photo from that mysterious, high-society wedding has been leaked.
In the photo, a man in a suit and a woman in a wedding dress are embracing each other.
The man's gaze fell on the woman.
His features were sharp and aloof, but when he looked at a woman, his eyes softened so much that it seemed as if she was the only one in his sight, and there was no room for anyone else.
But in places unseen by outsiders, Gu Yanli has been observing this gaze for decades.
Even though they are all over seventy years old, they have not changed.
…………
Mu Zhou lay on a soft bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
She has been awake for quite some time now.
She felt something was wrong as soon as she arrived in this world.
After understanding the plot, she became certain that she really couldn't see.
