The Transmigrated Villain, and the Reborn Heroines - Chapter 95:
Chapter 95:
Could it be that Su Muwan genuinely liked the necklace? Or was her attitude toward Zhang Mu starting to change?
Some senior executives who had vaguely heard about the engagement banquet between Zhang Mu and Su Muwan began to ponder.
Meanwhile, Zhang Mu himself was utterly baffled by Su Muwan’s reaction.
What was going on?
Why had she agreed so readily when he offered to help her put on the necklace?
Shouldn’t she have resisted?
Before Zhang Mu could think further, Su Muwan had already leaned her head slightly forward, gently lifting her long, silky hair to reveal her fair and slender neck. She was clearly waiting for him to put the necklace on her.
It had to be said, even though she wasn’t revealing much, Su Muwan’s incredible beauty made this simple action exude elegance and femininity. She was stunning to the point of leaving people breathless. Many of the men present couldn’t help but stare in awe.
Seeing this, Zhang Mu found himself in a tricky situation.
Internally, he sighed, marveling at how far Su Muwan was willing to go to secure the Zhang family. Truly, she lived up to her reputation as the original novel’s most cunning female lead. Her acting was impeccable, as if she were genuinely moved and deeply fond of the necklace.
But Zhang Mu still remembered vividly how, in his previous life, Su Muwan had been utterly indifferent to such gestures. Every gift he had given her had been casually discarded without a second thought. If he didn’t know her character so well, he might have been convinced by her current display.
Despite this, Zhang Mu remained fully aware of Su Muwan’s true nature as the cold and calculating female lead. While he didn’t really want to help her put on the necklace—it didn’t align with the original plot—he had no choice. Su Muwan’s proactive behavior left him no room to deviate, as breaking character would ruin his role as someone deeply in love with her.
Reluctantly, Zhang Mu extended his hands and gently placed them on either side of Su Muwan’s elegant, alabaster neck, carefully helping her put on the necklace.
The scene left everyone present stunned.
Ye Feng, Su Jianye, and the senior executives of the Su Corporation all watched in disbelief as Zhang Mu’s hands brushed against Su Muwan’s smooth, jade-like neck and rested lightly on her fragrant shoulders.
The senior executives were in shock.
Heavens! Su Muwan, the icy CEO who wouldn’t let any man come within three meters of her, was allowing a man to be this close and even touch her? Was this real? It felt like a hallucination.
Many of the men present couldn’t hide their envy, wishing they were the ones putting the necklace on her. However, it was clear that no one but Zhang Mu would dare approach the icy Su Muwan like this.
Meanwhile, sitting on the sofa in the center of the room—the spot that should have been the focal point—Ye Feng found himself completely overshadowed. All the attention was on Zhang Mu and Su Muwan. Ye Feng clenched his fists tightly, his eyes blazing with fury as he glared at Zhang Mu.
Su Muwan was the woman Ye Feng had set his sights on. How could he allow another man to touch her? He couldn’t accept it!
In Ye Feng’s mind, any woman he desired had to belong to him. Zhang Mu, this useless playboy, had no right to compete with him, let alone rival him. What gave Zhang Mu the courage to challenge him?
The veins on Ye Feng’s forehead bulged as his anger boiled over.
Meanwhile, Zhang Mu, still close to Su Muwan, continued fastening the necklace. The proximity allowed him to catch a faint scent of cherry blossoms emanating from her. Zhang Mu recognized it immediately…
This wasn’t any kind of perfume—it was Su Muwan’s natural scent. The fragrance was undeniably alluring, something that even Zhang Mu had to admit. It smelled delightful and enticing.
In his previous life, he’d rarely been this close to her, so he hadn’t had the chance to notice it. Now, experiencing the delicate aroma up close, it left him feeling refreshed and clear-headed.
As he helped Su Muwan put on the necklace, his fingertips accidentally brushed against the skin of her neck. The smoothness and softness were almost unbelievable. It felt perfect, utterly flawless.
Since he had to reach behind her neck to secure the necklace, Zhang Mu’s head naturally leaned closer to hers. Su Muwan also cooperated by tilting her head slightly toward him. Their faces were now so close that they could feel the warmth of each other’s breath.
At such a close distance, Su Muwan’s eyes were fixed on Zhang Mu’s face as he gently and attentively helped her with the necklace. Staring at his handsome features and the tenderness and affection in his eyes, her usually cold heart couldn’t help but race wildly. The rhythm grew faster and faster.
‘Mu Mu is so handsome! Even at this distance, he looked even more attractive.‘ She thought.
Her admiration deepened, and she couldn’t suppress the feelings welling up inside her. Her heart fluttered uncontrollably, and she carefully held her breath, afraid of disturbing the boy in front of her, who was treating her so gently.
She stared deeply into his profound eyes, feeling as though she might get lost in them. She was truly captivated.
At this moment, she had a sudden and overwhelming urge to embrace him tightly and plant a big kiss on him.
Her mind ran wild with thoughts as she gazed at the man she loved to her core. Her delicate and flawless face gradually flushed with a soft, rosy hue.
Meanwhile, Zhang Mu, pretending to be focused on fastening the necklace, was secretly observing Su Muwan, the cold and calculating CEO. Their close proximity allowed him to clearly see her expression.
If he didn’t already know that Su Muwan was the calculating female lead, an ice-cold character with schemes constantly running through her mind, he might have found himself moved in that moment.
At this close distance, her eyes were mesmerizing, her features astonishingly refined, and her entire face was a masterpiece of perfection. She was breathtakingly beautiful, truly living up to her role as the story’s leading lady.
‘Wow, she’s stunning. No wonder she’s the first female lead.’ Zhang Mu thought.
Her beauty was enough to make one’s heart skip a beat. If his self-control weren’t so strong, he might have succumbed to the temptation.
Suppressing the urge to lean closer, Zhang Mu finally finished fastening the necklace and slowly pulled back.
What he didn’t notice, however, was the fleeting look of reluctance and regret in Su Muwan’s eyes as he moved away.
At this point, Zhang Mu turned his attention toward Ye Feng, the protagonist, to observe his reaction. However, something seemed off.
Why hasn’t Ye Feng stepped in to stop this yet? Zhang Mu wondered. He doesn’t even seem to have any intention of intervening.
This deviation was puzzling…
