Shui Chang slightly lowered his head, his lips brushing against Mu Chengguang’s soft ear, “I registered a company called Orange Light Film Culture Ltd., and invested in a movie under its name. The movie is set to release on the first day of the New Year, and with a blockbuster success, we can make a lot of money.”
“Orange, Orange Light Film Culture Ltd.? Is that my name?” Mu Chengguang felt a flutter in her chest, not noticing Shui Chang’s inexplicable confidence about the movie’s box office.
“Yes, it’s your name. We can name the school we build Orange Light Primary School and Orange Light Secondary School, how does that sound?”
“Why use my name?” Mu Chengguang buried her face in Shui Chang’s chest, her voice muffled. “Teacher Nan, your name is also very nice.”
“Because in my heart, Orange Light is the best.”
“Woo, Teacher Nan, woo woo, you are also the best in my heart!”
Tears streamed down Mu Chengguang’s face, leaving a wet patch on the chest of Shui Chang’s jacket.
Shui Chang was stunned; he hadn’t expected Mu Chengguang to be so emotional, crying like this. He helplessly led her to the bathroom to wash her face, saying, “Alright, alright, this should be a joyful occasion, so why are you crying?”
“Because I’m overwhelmed with joy.” Mu Chengguang sobbed while dabbing her face dry with a towel.
Shui Chang took out a bottle of cream and applied it evenly on her face: “Fortunately, you cried indoors; otherwise, your face would definitely be cracked from the cold outside.”
Mu Chengguang, with red eyes, shyly said, “Teacher Nan, you’re too good to me; I just can’t hold back.”
No one had ever treated her so well throughout her life.
Shui Chang put down the cream and pinched Mu Chengguang’s soft cheeks: “It’s only right to treat you well; you deserve it. In the future, when you’re happy, just smile, don’t cry anymore.”
“Okay!”
After the first day of the New Year, Shui Chang and Mu Chengguang would return to Xuancheng. The Nan family reluctantly sent them off to the village entrance, waving at them long after the car had driven away.
“Teacher Nan, your family is really nice,” Mu Chengguang said enviously.
“Now they are your family too; there’s no need to envy yourself,” Shui Chang replied, his phone buzzing with a congratulatory text from Song Li, announcing that his self-written and directed movie “Invincible Secret Agent” had broken fifty million on its opening day!
“By the way, let’s go watch the movie tomorrow,” Shui Chang suggested, eager to see how the film he had invested in was doing.
“Is it the movie the company invested in?” Mu Chengguang asked, genuinely interested.
“Yes, the director just mentioned that the opening day box office surpassed fifty million, and there’s a flood of good reviews online. The box office is expected to rise in the coming days. In a month, you’ll have a fortune of billions. How does that feel?”
Mu Chengguang waved her hand dramatically, “Oh, it’s just a few billion; I don’t care about that money.”
Shui Chang laughed, “Oh? Mu Xiaoye doesn’t think a few billion is a big deal? I wonder what else would catch your fancy.”
“Teacher Nan.”
“Hmm?” Shui Chang thought Mu Chengguang was calling him.
“I mean, only Teacher Nan is really in my eyes and in my heart.”
Shui Chang’s heart skipped a beat, a sweet and sour feeling engulfing him; he couldn’t help but feel a little dazed.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that he saw hints of Fan Luojia in Mu Chengguang. Was it just an illusion?

Chapter 41: The Scumbag Who Crossed the Line [Completed]
During the New Year, Mu Chengguang was not at home. Upon returning to Xuancheng, he was immediately pulled by Mu Feng to the headquarters for work, fearing that he would be so distracted by outside temptations that he wouldn’t even want to attend work.
Yes, the reason Mu Chengguang gave for not returning home for the New Year was that he went to his significant other’s house.
Mu Feng figured that since Mu Chengguang wasn’t married, he was spending the New Year at his father-in-law’s house, convinced that his partner must be a temptress.
Mu Chengguang was appointed as the marketing manager at the company, a role he suited well given his quick wit.
Recently, the Mu Group was about to launch a new product, and the marketing department only had three days of holiday before returning to work intensively to promote the new product. As the newly appointed leader, Mu Chengguang naturally took it upon himself to lead by example, not leaving until after midnight each day.
He had promised to watch a movie with Shui Chang, and on the scheduled date, he announced at ten o’clock that the marketing department would finish work and go home to rest, continuing the fight tomorrow. The employees not only didn’t doubt it, but they also felt Mu Chengguang was considerate of their well-being, leading to a much better impression of this sudden upper management addition.
When Shui Chang arrived to pick him up from the company, he bought a bouquet of flowers along the way. “Sunflowers, they resemble you.”
Mu Chengguang accepted the orange bouquet, pleasantly surprised. “Teacher Nan, thank you! I really like them.”
The driver was still Li Cheng. Mu Chengguang felt confident now, knowing that Teacher Nan could never have anything with Li Cheng, and his attitude had softened significantly; he always spoke with a smile. However, Li Cheng continued to keep a cold face and say nothing.
“Teacher Nan, have you decided on the office building yet?” Mu Chengguang asked.
Shui Chang’s company couldn’t possibly have only him as the boss without any employees; they needed to rent office space to hire staff. Today, he had been busy selecting a location for Orange Light Film Culture Ltd.
“Not yet. I want to buy an entire building or build a new one. In the future, the company cannot rely solely on movie investments for profit; signing and managing artists will also be critical. I’ve already asked a headhunting firm to find elite managers for each department. Right now, I don’t lack money, just talent and an office building.”
Mu Chengguang patted Shui Chang’s hand reassuringly. “Teacher Nan, don’t worry; I can ask my dad if there are any recently completed unsold buildings. His network is extensive, so he should be able to find out.”
“Don’t take everything upon yourself. You’ve been working so hard you’re starting to get dark circles under your eyes. Just mention it casually to your father-in-law; it doesn’t have to result in anything.”
When they arrived at the cinema, Shui Chang bought couple tickets and separately got Li Cheng a ticket too. “The movie is two hours long; instead of waiting outside, we might as well go in together.”
Li Cheng’s typically cold expression softened slightly as he replied, “Thank you, Nan Zong.”
Mu Chengguang noticed that couples often bought popcorn and drinks, so he tugged Shui Chang along to make a purchase.
Holding a large tub of popcorn, Mu Chengguang saw Shui Chang carrying a large cup of cola decorated with two straws.
They found their seats and sat down. As the lights in the screening room dimmed, the huge screen lit up with the words “Orange Light Film Culture Ltd.” in bright orange letters.
