Chapter 297: Chapter 225: Covering Her (Second Update)_2

Is Mu Lin really just an ordinary doctor?

He remembered that whenever a doctor visited their house in the past, the doctor used to speak cautiously, always considering their family’s feelings. But it’s completely different with Mu Lin. Everything seems upside down.

Does his father really have to be so serious about it?

She’s staying in the Presidential Suite, and their entire family has come out to welcome her. The only people missing are the old master and mistress of the family.

He really wanted to know, did the sun rise in the west today? Looking up, all he could see was a grey haze.

Ah... he seemed to have forgotten that the weather forecast had said it was going to be cloudy today. No sunshine...

Hearing what Hong Boyuan had said, Mu Lin just glanced at him lightly. "Didn’t that man just tell you?" Mu Lin was referring to the lobby manager.

"He said you’re a doctor and that my father personally invited you to take care of my grandfather." He knew all that.

But what he didn’t know was why his family members were treating this matter so ceremoniously. Honestly, he had never seen such a scene from his childhood to adulthood.

Although the Hong family are not at the top of Ming City, they still command basic respect... Ah, his poor little heart.

It’s over! They’re done!

Only at this moment did Hong Boyuan remember: if Mu Lin was his father’s honored guest, then his insistently pestering Mu Lin to share a car ride home could be courting disaster.

At the thought of this, he immediately clung tightly to the co-driver’s seat cushion with a look of firm determination not to let go.

Exactly what she found amusing, Mu Lin raised her eyebrows and a grin donned her lips; this man is somewhat interesting.

Hadn’t he just said... he wanted to cover for her?

...

Outside the car, Hong Mingsheng and his siblings exchanged glances, appearing somewhat puzzled.

The car had been parked here for a while, why hadn’t Mu Lin gotten out yet? Had she changed her mind suddenly?

This could very well happen, given Mu Lin’s eccentric temperament.

If she suddenly became reluctant at the door, they wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.

Thirty more seconds passed. These thirty seconds felt like an eternity to the waiting party, their hearts pounding with apprehension.

Finally.

She emerged after a round of eager anticipation.

The rear door finally opened. Instead of seeing a pair of small, elegant female feet, they saw... Qiaozi first extend a claw, then withdraw it.

It couldn’t reach out, it was too high.

After withdrawing, it stood up, then jumped, and Qiaozi appeared before everyone, startling the entire Hong family.

Is the Divine Doctor... a hawk?

The second son and the daughter of the Hong family were stunned.

Where’s the Divine Doctor they were promised?

Unfortunately, Hong Mingsheng didn’t inform them before that the Divine Doctor Mu Lin had brought with her a fierce pet, Uncle Qiaozi. However, seeing Qiaozi exit the car, Hong Mingsheng heaved a sigh of relief.

At least, Mu Lin probably won’t change her mind now. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let Qiaozi get out.

It was just a needless worry. For Mu Lin, she either would refuse outright or, once she agreed, she would absolutely follow through.

Of course, most people probably didn’t know that if Mu Lin saved someone, but that person suddenly offended her or some aspect of them irritated her, then that person would be incredibly "fortunate" to be tormented by her into a state of living death.

This experience is definitely something not everyone can enjoy.

...

"Are you sure you’re not getting out?" Mu Lin raised an eyebrow at Hong Boyuan.

"I’d rather die than get out." He stubbornly held onto his position.

Hearing his words, Mu Lin no longer argued. She simply opened the other door of the car and gracefully walked towards Hong Mingsheng.

"Doctor Mu." Seeing Mu Lin, Hong Mingsheng unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and introduced his siblings: "This is my younger brother Hong Mingyu, and my younger sister Hong Mingjiao."

She briefly nodded at them without paying much attention to their probing and curious gazes.

After all, most people would find it hard to believe that the divine doctor Mu really was so young.

"So this is the Divine Doctor Mu?" Hong Mingjiao’s voice sounded beside Mu Lin. "She’s really beautiful," her voice filled with admiration.

The daughter of the Hong Family, Hong Mingjiao, being a woman herself, had a fondness for beautiful things, regardless of gender. In addition, it was well-known in Ming City that Lady Hong’s husband was a man even more beautiful than she.

Of course, there was no malice or twisted motive in Hong Mingjiao’s words she was simply expressing her appreciation.

Hearing Hong Mingjiao’s praise, Mu Lin turned her gaze to her, tilted her head slightly and gave a subtle nod in thanks for the compliment.

Hong Mingjiao replied with a graceful smile.

She couldn’t see how this Dr. Mu was hard to get along with or eccentric at all.

In Hong Mingjiao’s view, the girl standing before her was just an ordinary, gentle, and beautiful young girl. Was she as terrifying as her brother had implied?

Hong Mingsheng was clueless about his younger sister’s thoughts. He just gazed at Mu Lin with a solemn look, "Dr. Mu, please come this way." Their grandparents were already waiting in the living room.

However, Mu Lin, after glancing at him, suddenly deepened the curve of her lips and lazily told Hong Mingsheng, "Mr. Hong, there’s no rush. We still haven’t welcomed one ’honored guest’ out of the car yet."
