Mu Chenyan smiled sadly at herself in the mirror.
The hotel was decorated in a semi-retro style. The corridor was decorated with copper wall lamps with exquisite carvings. Coupled with warm-colored frosted light bulbs, the faint yellow light shone down, and the exquisite Renaissance murals in the corridor looked even more lofty in contrast!
Mu Chenyan came out of the bathroom and saw the mottled sparks under the dim yellow light on the side of the corridor. The man's dark face was shrouded in smoke.
"Big Brother Wu?" Mu Chenyan called out.
She did not know that Wu Ze smoked.
This man was usually elegant and gentle. In court, he was swift and decisive, domineering, and often used his overwhelming aura to make his opponents unable to fight back.
If it was not because of Mu Chenyan's case, Wu Ze's career would never have been defeated …
At this moment, under the lingering smoke, he looked slightly more handsome than a ruffian.
"Chenyan, come over and have a chat."
Wu Ze looked at Mu Chenyan and invited her sincerely.
Mu Chenyan was stunned. She did not know the reason behind Wu Ze's sudden deep look. However, she recalled Yuan Xuan's jealousy when he secretly ate the rose at the banquet, and she hesitated.
Seeing Mu Chenyan's hesitation, Wu Ze smiled and threw the cigarette butt into the trash can at the side. He got up and strode toward Mu Chenyan.
Mu Chenyan subconsciously took a step back. "Big Brother Wu, if there's anything, we can talk later …"
The lights here were dim, and it was most suitable for an intimate moment …
Previously, when she interacted with Wu Ze, it was either through glass or in court. She had never been so close to him like today, so she was not mentally prepared.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you hide it from me? "
Wu Ze's tone was slightly heavy. He stopped when he was still a meter away from Mu Chenyan.
The man's heavy smell of alcohol mixed with the faint smell of aftershave assaulted her.
Mu Chenyan was stunned. She did not know what Wu Ze was angry about.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that someone was mistreating you in prison? I wouldn't have let you stay there …"
Wu Ze's suppressed roar echoed in the corridor. If the guests had not left, it would be difficult not to misunderstand when they saw him like this.
Mu Chenyan was slightly nervous. Her eyes were red as she said in a low voice, "Big Brother Wu, no matter what, I thank you. It's all in the past, and it's not something you can control! Haven't you been dutifully defending me? "
"I …" Wu Ze had words stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say them!
Wu Ze wanted to tell her that if he had tried his best, with his abilities, the case wouldn't have dragged on for so long, and she wouldn't have suffered such injustice for two years!
But he couldn't say it!
If he admitted this, it would be equivalent to admitting his hypocrisy and deceit. It would be equivalent to roasting himself on the platform of morality!
His invincible career as a lawyer had lost its meaning. He was the one who should go to jail …
"Chenyan … I'm so sorry!"
Wu Ze suddenly lowered his noble head and placed his hand on the clear lines on the mural. The extremely handsome man was now like a defeated hero, so dispirited that it made one's heart ache!
"Brother Wu, don't blame yourself! You're not the one who put me in jail! You weren't the one who abused me! I didn't believe in fate before, but now I do! Maybe I'm fated to have this calamity! "
"Am I not standing right in front of you now?"
