Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession

Chapter 1047: The More One Gets, the More One Wants 9

Mu Tiantian naturally noticed the change in Cheng Junnan’s expression as he looked at her. She instinctively avoided his gaze, slightly lowering her eyes, staring at her toes.

"Tian Tian, Old Madam Shen and Old Madam Mu have been friends for many years. The current Mrs. Mu is Old Madam Shen’s only daughter, cherished from childhood, and Mu Haiyun is Old Madam Shen’s only niece, loved like a precious treasure."

Listening, Mu Tiantian smiled gently.

"Thank you for the reminder, President Cheng. But what goes around comes around, and eventually the truth will come out!"

She wasn’t foolish; she knew exactly why Cheng Junnan was telling her this. He was indirectly letting her know that no matter who was right or wrong on her grandfather’s eightieth birthday, to Old Madam Shen, she was just an outsider that night.

Listening to Mu Tiantian’s words, Cheng Junnan’s eyes deepened a bit, and when looking at Mu Tiantian, his gaze was filled with an increasingly heavy sense of pity.

"Tian Tian, now are you still"

"With Bai Chenyao?" No matter how hard Cheng Junnan tried, he couldn’t bring himself to ask.

He felt like it was a thorn in his heart. If he didn’t ask, he could still pretend that Mu Tiantian was just Mu Tiantian and not Bai Chenyao’s woman.

Mu Tiantian, puzzled, looked up at Cheng Junnan, furrowing her brows.

"President Cheng, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Mu Tiantian still addressing him as President Cheng, Cheng Junnan’s smile turned slightly bitter.

See, he had said many times, even if she wasn’t an employee of Haitian Entertainment, even if she didn’t accept his feelings, at least she could consider him a friend.

Yet, Mu Tiantian was so aware, or rather so decisive, not giving him even the slightest chance.

The more Mu Tiantian behaved this way, the more unwilling Cheng Junnan felt.

It’s like people say, the more you get it, the better it seems!

But whether he truly believed in that idea that the less attainable, the better it seems, only he knew.

No, certainly not!

As the elevator neared the first floor, seeing Mu Tiantian’s expression with a hint of relief, the usually good-tempered Cheng Junnan suddenly couldn’t help but speak.

"Tian Tian, do you not want to see me or be with me?"

Mu Tiantian: "..."

Obviously not expecting the usual gentle Cheng Junnan to say such words, Mu Tiantian was a bit caught off guard, looking up and meeting Cheng Junnan’s slightly angry eyes.

"No!"

She simply empathized, thinking if it were Bai Chenyao and Bai Lanlan or Mu Haiyun, she wouldn’t want it.

So, she didn’t want Bai Chenyao to misunderstand anything either.

If Cheng Junnan truly considered her a friend, she was willing to be friends with him.

But clearly, Cheng Junnan’s intentions were not that simple.

Though she’d only ever dated Bai Chenyao, she could see the suppressed passion in Cheng Junnan’s eyes when he looked at her.

"President Cheng, I just don’t want A Yao to overthink!"

Cheng Junnan hadn’t expected Mu Tiantian to respond so directly and decisively.

She didn’t even consider his feelings, directly stating the person she was worried about was Bai Chenyao.

Because she worried about Bai Chenyao overthinking, she even refused to be around Cheng Junnan!

This straightforward answer was like a cold, sharp knife stabbing into Cheng Junnan’s heart.

His gentle gaze shattered into pieces because of Mu Tiantian’s words.

Mu Tiantian looked at him with a slight pause, opened her mouth, her voice not loud but very clear.
