Chapter 185: 164

"Linlin, in front of me, you actually don’t need to be so defensive." This only makes him feel even more heartache for her,

In Jing Chen’s heart, his woman, she should be protected by himself.

The embrace in front of her is a bit stiff, but it carries an unprecedented warmth. It makes Mu Lin feel a bit confused at this moment, and a strange feeling sweeps across her heart. She doesn’t understand it, but she doesn’t dislike it either.

She has never liked anyone’s touch or proximity, but today, she doesn’t repel.

Even Mu Lin herself can’t explain such a phenomenon.

Jing Chen knows that although Mu Lin often appears casual towards them, many times, she is still defensive in her heart. She has always been living alone, this has made her habitual, no longer relying on others; and her own ability and means, she really doesn’t need to rely on anyone to survive.

However, Jing Chen still is hopeful for one day, Mu Lin can completely open her heart and accept him fully, hide behind him, and let him become her guardian.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about." Mu Lin pushed away Jing Chen and sat back up. Her little face was a bit flushed, with a reluctant warmth lingering.

Being defensive? Mu Lin was baffled, because even she herself did not know.

Looking at Mu Lin, Jing Chen smiled lightly.

It doesn’t matter if she didn’t understand now. He’ll slowly teach her, bit by bit, how to accept him.

If Jing Youlan knew Jing Chen’s thoughts at this moment, he would definitely express his disdain. Clearly, he is just a newbie himself, but ridiculously fancy himself capable to teach a newbie. He didn’t know what he could teach.

...

The two went to the hall. In the hall, besides Grandpa Jing and Song Qi, there was another person.

Leaning on the sofa obliquely, a pair of long legs gracefully crossed, exuding a casual laziness.

Hearing the noise from outside the door, the man turned his head, and Mu Lin got a clear view of his face.

His facial features were delicate, his curving almond eyes glistening sensuously, exuding fatal attraction; If Jing Chen was ruggedly handsome, then the man before her eyes, he was soft and charming.

The combination of elegance and wicked charm unexpectedly appeared on a man, yet it felt extremely harmonious.

What a pity...

"What’s a pity?" Mu Lin unconsciously voiced her thoughts, which drew Jing Chen’s curiosity.

Coughing awkwardly, Mu Lin leaned towards Jing Chen, "What I meant was, it’s a pity that such a handsome face is on a man."

Jing Chen laughed softly, whispered: "Jing Tian hates it the most when people talk about his looks, Linlin, you should be careful." He paused and continued: "But you can rest assured Linlin, even if you really offend Xiaotian, I will protect you."

Mu Lin glanced at him lightly, "Who needs your protection." Watch your words or she might give him a dumb spell.

Jing Chen laughed with his mouth wide open.

...

Heard Grandpa’s health has been getting better lately. Coincidently, an invitation for an exchange of newcomer arrived, so he came home to visit.

Jing Tian thought, it seems his trip home was well-timed.

Just now, Grandpa told him that his big brother had finally come to his senses. He didn’t believe it at first, but seeing the brotherly love expression on his face now, he had to believe it.

Who would have thought big brother would have such a day.

His gaze landed on Mu Lin, approvingly nodding his head; Mmm, they matched.

Truthfully speaking, standing next to Jing Chen, Mu Lin looked like a weak little bird relying on him, creating a strong desire to protect her; the type his big brother liked.

"Grandpa Jing." Mu Lin took a step forward, looking at Grandpa Jing, her face filled with smiles.

"Oh, little Mu is here." Grandpa Jing waved at Mu Lin, sparing Jing Chen a glance as Mu Lin walked towards him, seeing the delighted smile on Grandpa’s face gave her an inexplicable chill.

Grandpa Jing’s... enthusiastic gaze had always been quite... fierce, but today, why did she have an ominous feeling that he wanted to eat her alive.

Grandpa Jing had ignored him completely, his eyes practically glued to Mu Lin. Jing Chen sat down next to Jing Tian, asking casually, "Why are you back?"
