Chapter 182: 162

...

Jing Chen returned to his seat and said to Fang Zi and his partner, "The restaurant is busy. You guys can go back to work. We’ll come and find you later."

The two nodded and went back to their tasks.

He passed the bowl of white rice to Mu Lin, "Let’s eat first." Mu Lin took it, eating and saying, "Jing Chen, are you not afraid that bringing me here today will only amplify their disappointment?"

Jing Chen shook his head, "I believe in you." As he spoke, he picked a piece of potato for Mu Lin and placed it in her bowl.

For Fang Zi and his wife, if her condition could get a bit better, they would be satisfied.

Seeing the additional potatoes in her bowl, Mu Lin glanced at Jing Chen and then lowered her head. She hesitated a bit but eventually ate the potatoes in silence.

Well, wasting food is shameful.

Just as they thought they could finish their lunch in this amicable atmosphere, unexpected things were bound to happen.

With a jingle from the door bell, two tall and imposing women walked in, inquired about a private room, and then looked around for empty seats; their surprised gaze flashed past when it landed on Jing Chen and Mu Lin.

At that moment, Mu Lin had her back to them. The sight of Mu Lin eating and managing to hold a conversation with Jing Chen, whose eyes were filled with nothing but affection, got them surprised. But only Mu Lin seemed unaware of it all.

...

"Ye Qing, there’s a spot over there. Let’s sit there," another woman’s voice brought Ye Qing back from her thoughts. She covered up the surprise that flashed in her eyes and suggested to the other woman, "Lu Hong, let’s sit over there."

"But that place..." is it not occupied?

Before she could finish, Ye Qing had already started walking towards the direction she was pointing at. Lu Hong caught up, her face puzzled. She had no idea what was going on in Ye Qing’s mind. The place was clearly taken. Why were they headed there?

"Jing Chen, long time no see." She should have addressed him respectfully or by his job title, but since they were outside, and Ye Qing felt acquainted with him, she called him by his name.

Mu Lin, who was enjoying her food without a care, was startled by a sudden enthusiastic voice from a woman. Lu Hong finally understood why Ye Qing wanted to go over to Jing Chen. However, she failed to see that the two people eating hadn’t welcomed them to join.

But Jing Chen was considered a heartthrob in the Naval Marine Corps. Many women couldn’t believe their luck to have bumped into him that day.

How lucky they were!

Jing Chen lifted his eyes and gave them a brief gaze, then said in a blunt tone, "I don’t know you." He did not have any consideration for the beautiful woman standing in front of him. Unfortunately, in Jing Chen’s eyes, probably only Mu Lin could be considered a woman.

Hearing Jing Chen’s words, Mu Lin also took a look at the two women, "Um, I don’t know them either." Her naive expression made Jing Chen chuckle slightly. This girl had just come down from the mountain and joined the training camp. She barely knew anyone.

Hearing Jing Chen’s words, Ye Qing felt a bit upset and blushed slightly out of embarrassment. "I’m Ye Qing from the Naval Marine Corps. We cooperated on a mission before." Back then, Jing Chen was so impressive that no one could overshadow him in Ye Qing’s eyes.

"Right, there seems to be such a time." Hearing Ye Qing’s words, Jing Chen vaguely remembered the situation.

Jing’s second master, Jing Tian, was in the Naval Marine Corps. Jing Chen had once requested his help for a mission. But given Jing Chen’s inability to recognize faces, he sure as hell wouldn’t have recognized Ye Qing who is blocking his date with Mu Lin.

"You remember?" Ye Qing’s voice was filled with surprise when she heard Jing Chen’s words.

"I’m sorry, I don’t know you." Jing Chen was cold, "You’re disturbing our meal." His words were clear in their meaning.

With jealousy flashing in her eyes, Ye Qing stomped her foot, turned around, and left without bothering about lunch.

It was said that Jing Chen was indifferent to women. Besides training, he was usually focused on his duties. There were many women who wanted to get close to him, but none of them succeeded. Among the three Jing brothers, his heart was undoubtedly made of stone.

But today, there was a woman beside him, and quite a beautiful one. When Mu Lin looked up, Ye Qing had clearly seen her face. She was indeed very beautiful, beautiful enough to make Ye Qing feel somewhat inferior.

Ye Qing was considered a blooming flower in the Naval Marine Corps, but compared to Mu Lin, she was still lacking.

Do men all like women who look soft and beguiling? Ye Qing couldn’t understand what was so good about Mu Lin.

Mu Lin had no idea that she was being wrongly accused and had even been promoted as a foxy temptress in someone’s heart.

Mu Lin thought, she had seen a fox in the Black Forest before — white and sly. It was quite pretty. But Qiaozi didn’t like it, as they were natural enemies.

After the two women left, Mu Lin looked at Jing Chen with a sarcastic smile. "Wow, a lot of attention from the ladies."

Jing Chen: "I’m content with just you."

Mu Lin choked; what did he mean by that!
