[World 7] Chapter 166

　　Jiang Mu's words left Qin Che speechless. He was stunned with an unpleasant look on his face.

　　"Does it mean that you are in a better mood after the divorce?" Jiang Mu's tone sounded like a joke, but it was obvious that there was no smile on her face.

　　Qin Che didn't know what was wrong with him. He had never been like this before. This was the first time.

　　Jiang Mu put on her bathrobe, then walked up to him, raised her hands and placed them on his shoulders, and put her left ear against his chest.

　　Qin Che couldn't control his heartbeat. He suppressed the feeling his body conveyed to him. The strong feeling of excitement made him eager to touch Jiang Mu.

　　He couldn't even look directly at Jiang Mu, as if he would do something excessive if he looked at him for a second longer.

　　"Your heart is beating fast, are you okay?"

　　After hearing what Jiang Mu said, Qin Che subconsciously held his breath, trying to calm his emotions and slow down his heartbeat.

　　But all this was in vain.

　　Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Mu stood on tiptoe, hugged his neck, frowned at him, and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

　　Qin Che took two steps back, and Jiang Mu, with her hand still hanging on his neck, was pulled forward by him and fell on his chest.

　　"I'm fine." Qin Che's voice was low and hoarse, but without any persuasiveness.

　　"Really?" Jiang Mu pursed her lips. She looked at him with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

　　Qin Che nodded and pushed Jiang Mu away in panic. He knew that if he continued like this, he would soon not be able to control himself and do something to Jiang Mu.

　　Although he knew that he was a little abnormal, he didn't have time to think too much at the moment.

　　"Then why are you panicking?" Jiang Mu held his hand, preventing him from escaping.

　　Qin Che looked at Jiang Mu with more and more passion in his eyes. The air seemed to be filled with Jiang Mu's fragrance. Qin Che had a bad nose and couldn't tell what the fragrance was, but he just felt it was intoxicating and addictive.

　　He forgot whether Jiang Mu had this smell before, but now he felt that this smell was particularly pleasant.

　　He didn't want to show any clues in front of Jiang Mu, but some small expressions on his face revealed what he was thinking at the moment.

　　Jiang Mu held his hand tightly and scratched his palm with her fingers, "Are you still drinking? You haven't finished it yet."

　　Qin Che said: "I don't want to drink anymore."

　　He doesn't usually drink much, and although he didn't drink much today, he really wasn't in a good condition to drink any more.

　　Jiang Mu said: "Okay, then I'll finish my drink."

　　She turned around, picked up the bottle, and poured all the remaining red wine into her glass.

　　Qin Che stared at her intently. Because of the wine, Jiang Mu's skin color turned a light pink like cherry blossoms. Her posture was charming and alluring. Even though she was just pouring wine, she did it in a very seductive way.

　　Even though Qin Che's heart was difficult to stir up any waves, it was now like a rising tide, causing waves to rise one after another.

　　Jiang Mu picked up the wine glass and raised it towards Qin Che, "This bottle of wine is for our perfectly ended marriage."

　　Qin Che was stunned for a moment, then frowned tightly. He couldn't figure out what Jiang Mu meant by this.

　　Jiang Mu pursed her lips and smiled. Her smile was so charming that it seemed like she had scratched Qin Che's heart, making it feel itchy and a little numb.

　　Soon, Jiang Mu added: "Then, I wish you a long life... and a lonely old age."

　　Jiang Mu laughed again after she finished speaking. This smile was different from the last one. It was a little sarcastic and teasing. Qin Che's intuition was that this was Jiang Mu's true words.

　　Qin Che didn't care at this time, because he didn't want to find someone to love until the end of his life.

　　However, for some reason, he had a strange premonition.

　　Jiang Mu looked at him with a smile, then slowly walked in front of him. Qin Che looked at her without blinking, only to see her turn her wrist and the glass of red wine poured onto his clothes. The red liquid stained his suit and shirt. The red mark was not noticeable on his suit, but a large red mark was left on his white shirt.

　　She did it on purpose.

　　Qin Che knew that but before he could say anything, Jiang Mu blinked and said, "I'm so sleepy after drinking. My hands were shaking just now. Sorry."

　　He listened to her voice, but he couldn't hear any apology in it.

　　But getting angry over this is not something Qin Che would do.

　　What's more, at this time, he was still enduring the surging impulse in his body.

　　"I'll clean up, you go take a shower." Jiang Mu picked up the two cups and took them to the kitchen.

　　Qin Che looked at her, with a fire still burning in his deep eyes. Until Jiang Mu went to the kitchen and he could no longer see her, he still felt uncomfortable with his body bloating.

　　This feeling is so strange.

　　He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and went to the bathroom.

　　Almost all of his things were taken away, but luckily he left a bathrobe, otherwise Qin Che wouldn't know what to wear after taking a shower.

　　Standing under the shower, Qin Che's mind was filled with Jiang Mu's figure and her pretty face.

　　Qin Che's breathing became more and more rapid.

　　He didn't know how long it had been before the scene in front of his eyes suddenly turned blank. He exerted too much force and accidentally hit the faucet with his elbow, turning the temperature to the lowest.

　　The water temperature suddenly became icy cold, Qin Che's body trembled, and he became completely awake.

　　His hands froze and he looked down with an unsightly expression.

　　He glanced at the wall out of the corner of his eye, then frowned and closed his eyes.

　　He didn't turn off the shower, and the cold water kept pouring on him. His body gradually became cold and his lips turned white.

　　After a few minutes, Qin Che finally calmed down. He turned the shower head to a handheld showerhead and washed away the things on the wall over and over again.

　　At this time, he glanced at the mirror next to him.

　　The mirror, which was blurry just now, gradually became clear as the temperature dropped.

　　Then he could see his body clearly in the mirror.

　　Even though his body was frozen, his thoughts did not stop.

　　A faint blush appeared on Qin Che's cheeks.

　　…..

　　The next morning, when Qin Che opened his eyes, he did not look very good.

　　The dream he had last night made him wonder how he would face Jiang Mu later. In the dream, he did all the things he wanted to do but didn't do yesterday.

　　This shocked him greatly.

　　He never thought he would become like this.

　　Qin Che couldn't help but ask himself, could it be that he had been suppressing it for too long, so once it exploded, he had to release it completely?

　　But why was his desire ignited in Jiang Mu?

　　It's at such an embarrassing time again.

　　The two had already divorced, and meeting each other this time was just an accident, but he happened to be like this.

　　Qin Che couldn't figure it out.

　　He lifted the quilt, his expression somewhat solemn, a trace of trouble and worry in his eyes. Yesterday he searched for a long time at home before finding a short-sleeved shirt. He could only wash and dry his underwear first, otherwise he would have nothing to change into today.

　　There was no choice but to wear a short-sleeved shirt to sleep.

　　Qin Che took a deep breath, held his forehead and thought for a while, then had to take another cold shower.

　　In fact, Jiang Mu didn't know that what she did yesterday would bring about such consequences.

　　Qin Che is like a dam that has been blocked for more than ten years.

　　Suddenly, a small hole was opened due to external force, and the water flow concentrated at this hole, and the violent impact force broke the hole open.

　　It seemed as if there were too many things accumulated in his body that had not been released, and they were all brought out.

　　Qin Che put on his clothes and tidied himself in front of the mirror for a long time before coming out. He seemed to have put on the cold mask again and the ascetic shell to wrap himself up, but he didn't even notice that the mask had cracked and the shell was full of holes.

　　He didn't hear the sound before, and was not sure whether Jiang Mu was still there, so he wanted to go to the bedroom where Jiang Mu was sleeping to check.

　　Jiang Mu was sleeping in the room opposite him. He knocked on the door, but there was no sound from inside, so he tentatively turned the doorknob, and the door opened.

　　There was indeed no one in the room, but Jiang Mu's bed could be seen directly from the door.

　　A sexy silk suspender skirt and a set of white lace underwear were thrown on the bed.

　　If Qin Che had seen these things before, he would not have had any reaction at all.

　　But at this moment he thought of last night's dream.

　　His eyes changed and he immediately closed the door.

　　Only then did he hear a sound coming from the kitchen.

　　He walked into the kitchen and saw Jiang Mu standing in the kitchen with her back to him.

　　She was wearing only a loose white top, aqua blue panties, and long thick socks with no shoes.

　　Qin Che was stunned.

　　He really didn't expect that Jiang Mu would dress like this at home.

　　She seemed to be making breakfast, and he could hear the bacon and eggs sizzling in the pan.

　　Jiang Mu picked up the frying pan, poured the breakfast he had prepared into the plate, and then arranged it carefully.

　　When she turned around, she saw Qin Che standing behind her.

　　She was stunned for a moment, "You haven't left yet?"

　　This sentence was very subtle, and Qin Che felt very embarrassed and ashamed.

　　It seemed odd that he hadn't left yet.

　　This also made Qin Che start to reflect, and he seemed to think that he should have left as soon as he got up.

　　It was all because of that dream that he got up late, and before leaving the bedroom, he washed and blow-dried his hair.

　　Jiang Mu walked out quickly in front of him, carrying breakfast. When she passed by him, Qin Che smelled her fragrance and the taste of breakfast.

　　They are all very fragrant and very appetizing.

　　As Jiang Mu walked out, she said, "I'm going to put on some pants first. I thought you weren't here, so I dressed a little more casually. I hope you don't mind."

　　Jiang Mu said this on purpose.

　　Qin Che really took it seriously.

　　Jiang Mu already knew that Qin Che had not left, because his shoes were still at the door, and she heard Qin Che's footsteps when he walked to the kitchen door just now, but she didn't turn around.

　　This sentence was to remind Qin Che that Jiang Mu didn't want him to see her like this, and it made Qin Che feel like he was no longer a member of this family.

　　Since Jiang Mu thought Qin Che had already left, it was natural that she only made one breakfast and did not prepare one for Qin Che.

　　Jiang Mu came out wearing a pair of grey pants casually, and Qin Che was already ready to leave.

　　"Are you leaving?"

　　Jiang Mu said casually.

　　Qin Che nodded, "Yeah."

　　Jiang Mu: "Okay, goodbye then."

　　Jiang Mu's attitude was too indifferent. Even though Qin Che didn't care about it, he still felt a huge gap and discomfort.

　　This is indeed very different from before.

　　Jiang Mu had really given up on him.

　　Qin Che's heart became very conflicted, and two voices emerged.

　　One is saying that Jiang Mu has finally given up, so he can be relieved.

　　Although the other voice was small, he could hear it clearly.

　　The voice was saying, why are you not happy in your heart? Don't you want to lose Jiang Mu completely?

　　Qin Che shook his head, changed his shoes and left.

　　When Jiang Mu heard the sound of the door closing, she smiled faintly.

　　…..

　　Two days later, Lu Ran asked Cheng Xueyi to bring her a high-end dress.

　　The brand is a luxury brand that Xia Xiao has always had good cooperation with. Unexpectedly, Lu Ran actually lent her one. This to some extent shows Lu Ran's importance to Jiang Mu.

　　But Jiang Mu knew in her heart that Lu Ran asked her to wear this dress to show off to others.

　　These others include many people, including Xia Xiao, people from the company, and media reporters who have been paying attention to Jiang Mu.

　　Jiang Mu's comeback after losing weight is actually big news, but she has been away from the entertainment industry for nearly half a year.

　　A lot of things happened in the past six months, and those things were enough to turn her from a popular female celebrity who was always on the hot searches on Weibo into an ordinary female celebrity with little popularity, no work and no movies to shoot.

　　This time when she returns, in addition to those vlogs, Jiang Mu must bring some other information to everyone.

　　Jiang Mu has lost a lot of weight since she last met Lu Ran. Her figure is now better than at her best. Because she has been exercising frequently at home recently, her buttocks are more firm and not as flat as before, and she looks better in any clothes.

　　This time, Lu Ran asked Cheng Xueyi to deliver the dress for the GT Fashion Gala tomorrow night.

　　Lu Ran also brought an invitation letter to Jiang Mu. At that time, Jiang Mu will also walk on the red carpet and compete with other female stars.

　　Of course, almost half of the entertainment industry was invited to this ceremony, and Xia Xiao, as a fashion influencer in the entertainment industry, would naturally attend.

　　By then, not only Xia Xiao, but also many well-known directors, actors, magazine editors, supermodels, and fashion people will come.

　　Jiang Mu's appearance this time must be perfect and stunning, so the dress Lu Ran picked for her was also carefully chosen. It is the brand's latest high-end dress for this spring and autumn.

　　Being able to get the latest models of the season also shows Lu Ran's strength. If Lu Ran hadn't done it himself, he would never have lent it to Jiang Mu. What's more, the dress was for walking on the red carpet in China. This dress is enough for walking on the international red carpet abroad.

　　Moreover, they received the news in advance that the red carpet for this ceremony would be outdoors and it would be a stepped red carpet. This kind of red carpet is not very friendly to high heels and it is easy to step on the skirt and cause accidents when walking.

　　Lu Ran greeted Jiang Mu in advance, saying that there must be no accidents, and asked her to walk around in her skirt in advance to practice.

　　Lu Ran didn't have many nice words to say, and he was even speaking harshly on the phone, saying that she had poor manners and expression management when walking on the red carpet before, and that the photos taken on the spot had to be retouched. He hoped that she could perform better this time and not let down the dress she was wearing.

　　Jiang Mu's answer at that time was very eloquent. She not only ensured that she would not make any mistakes, but also will be praised by Lu Ran.

　　Lu Ran had a lot more to say, but he didn't say it.

　　…..

　　On the night of the GT Fashion Gala, female stars competed for beauty and male stars competed for handsomeness. Jiang Mu had heard early on that Qin Che and Xu Cheng were also invited.

　　Jiang Mu had no interest in Qin Che, but she really wanted to meet Xu Cheng.

　　Maybe, the two of them will work together again and shoot the same kind of drama.

　　Jiang Mu still had some expectations for him.

　　Lu Ran also told her that when the time comes, she should have a few words with Xu Cheng, because Xu Cheng is the confirmed male actor in "Falling", so his ideas are also under the director's consideration. Later, during the audition, the director will let him act with her and will also ask for his opinion.

　　…..

　　On the night of the ceremony, the weather was fine, but suddenly a strong wind blew, and several light signs on the scene were blown over. The staff were very busy, and almost everyone was there. The ceremony could not be cancelled, and it had to be held as usual even if the weather was bad. The staff in charge of the scene were all worried.

　　The wind was too strong, so it was inevitable that the female stars' movements would be less graceful when walking on the red carpet. They always wanted to be steady and not fall down. Moreover, the female stars were all thin, and the saying that they would fall down if the wind blew was not entirely false. Several female stars with their hair down had their hair blown into a mess, and the photos taken were simply breathtaking.

　　Many people have temporarily adjusted their hairstyles, fixing their loose hair, especially the bangs, which must not be blown messy. Stylists have to spend a lot of time on this.

　　Xia Xiao wore a black strapless long dress tonight and a high-end necklace around her neck. This jewelry brand has been cooperating with her for a long time and is willing to continue cooperating with her even though she left Lu Ran.

　　This also reflects the brand's attention to her.

　　When Xia Xiao walked out, everyone's focus was on her.

　　As the top queen of tonight, she came prepared to overwhelm the whole audience.

　　Her arrival indeed added a lot of highlights to the red carpet.

　　Her long dress was inlaid with diamonds, which sparkled under the light. It was so beautiful that it lit up the entire night. Photographers all surrounded her and took pictures.

　　Unfortunately, she accidentally stumbled when walking on the red carpet. Although this did not affect her beauty, her face looked gloomy when she lowered her head, but returned to normal when she looked up.

　　Her gaze slowly drifted towards the audience and she greeted everyone gracefully.

　　She also knew that Lu Ran had taken over Jiang Mu, and Jiang Mu would come tonight.

　　Xia Xiao snorted in her heart. Some people on the Internet liked to compare her with Jiang Mu.

　　Now Jiang Mu is not comparable to her at all.

　　Lu Ran's signing her was really a wrong move. She would let him know that without her, he would never be able to help others to a higher position.

　　Xia Xiao slowly walked down the last step and onto the stage. Immediately, a group of photographers swarmed up from the audience.

　　She struck a few poses and was about to change them when she heard a commotion behind her.
