Chapter 179: Chapter 161 Boss! Sister-in-law! (First Update)_2

Jing Chen liked tranquility, Fang Zi had always remembered.

Jing Chen turned to Mu Lin, "What do you think, Linlin?"

"I have no objection," Mu Lin shook her head; she actually wanted to say that her main concern was about him calling her sister-in-law all along.

Then again, it didn’t hurt to be called that way.

Mu Lin did not realize that this was in fact a disguised compromise, an indulgence towards Jing Chen; in other words, she actually didn’t resist to the term deep within her heart.

...

Fang Zi brought the two of them to a corner by the window and sat them down.

Jing Chen looked at Fang Zi, "Serve whatever signature dishes you have, just keep it simple; also, Linlin prefers vegetarian food."

"Alright, Boss and Sister-in-law please wait a moment, the food will be ready soon." He went back into the kitchen after speaking.

After Fang Zi left, Mu Lin looked at Jing Chen and said casually: "He just called me sister-in-law, why didn’t you correct him?"

"Can’t correct it," Jing Chen shook his head.

"Why?" Mu Lin was puzzled.

"This little guy has always dreamed of meeting his future sister-in-law since he left Ying Sun, and he mistakenly recognized you for it today, so why not just play along and make his dream come true?" Jing Chen said with a charming smile while deliberately trying to misdirect and deceive.

"For real?" Mu Lin looked at him doubtfully, it was a pity that Jing Chen’s face was still very serious, giving no hint of insincerity, "For real."

"Then suit yourself." Once again, it didn’t hurt her in any way to be called that, but unbeknownst to her, there was a glimmer of triumphant mockery in Jing Chen’s eyes when she looked down.

After a small pause, Mu Lin looked at Jing Chen and asked, "You said he used to be in Ying Sun, did he injure his leg during that time?" As a doctor, Mu Lin had noticed Fang Zi’s limp when he walked.

"Mhm," Jing Chen nodded, "He was injured during a mission; a bullet hit him in the knee. After the bullet was removed, that leg became disabled." Fang Zi, who was proud of being a soldier and a member of Ying Sun, had some very tough times.

The loss of one leg meant he had to leave the army, leave his comrades, leave Ying Sun, and he no longer had the qualifications to come back.

"So you brought me here today to take a look at him, didn’t you?" Due to the fact his knee was mostly comprised of bones, it must have meant that the bullet got stuck in the bone. If she had been there at the time, she might have been able to successfully operate and improve the condition of Fang Zi’s leg. Unfortunately, it was too late now... Mu Lin knew she was helpless.

Jing Chen looked at Mu Lin and shook his head slightly, "Not entirely, the food here does taste good and since we’re already out, I thought I might show you; as for his leg..." Jing Chen sighed lightly, "I know it’s almost impossible for it to heal, but I just hope that he can be a little more comfortable." The meaning behind Jing Chen’s words was quite clear.

"I understand," Mu Lin nodded, she got his point, "As Ying Sun’s future military doctor, and since he used to be a member of Ying Sun, I can reluctantly take a look at him, but..." After beating around the bush, the corner of Mu Lin’s mouth curved into a deeper smile,"... how are you going to compensate me?"

She was a very pragmatic person. Since coming into this world, she had saved countless lives, including those she shouldn’t have saved. This wasn’t going to make a difference.

After all, she was a military doctor now, not the Poison Doctor.

...

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, Jing Chen looked slightly helpless, "What compensation do you want?" He preferred if the compensation would be in exchange for her love.

As it was, Jing Chen truly felt that there was a considerable difference between the Mu Lin he met for the first time and the one now; she seemed to have developed... a humanity.

Jing Chen would always remember that first impression of her, she seemed less human, more like a ghost in the woods, leading a purposeless existence.

But now, it was gratifying to see, through this period of time, she indeed had become more human-like.

In the future, he would not let her be alone again.

Looking at Jing Chen, Mu Lin seemed lost in thought, "I haven’t thought of one yet, we’ll talk about it when I do." She hesitated for a moment before continuing: "However, Jing Chen, I have to tell you the truth."
