Chapter 307: Chapter 230: Rival in Love Encounter (One more)_2

"Does Mr. Jing have any recommendations?" Xu Yibai asked Jing Chen lightly.

As soon as he heard Mu Lin mention Jing Chen’s name, Xu Yibai learned of Jing Chen’s true identity.

It seems that his rival in this love affair, is indeed formidable! The celebrated... Mister Jing, in the mouths of the people of B City.

"Why not have Mr. Xu make a recommendation." However, in the next moment, Jing Chen unexpectedly turned the question back to Xu Yibai, appearing extremely complacent and excited, which cast a doubtful glance from Mu Lin, questioning whether he had taken the wrong medicine.

She felt that both of them were acting quite strangely.

Hearing Jing Chen’s words, Xu Yibai chuckled, "I didn’t expect Mr. Jing knows me, it’s truly my honor." His face showed a slight surprise, but there was no particular emotion in his eyes.

"As a fellow B City resident, not knowing Mr. Xu would be the real surprise." Jing Chen’s mouth lifted into a slight arch, too bad that the faint smile failed to reach his eyes.

Xu Yibai, once the most promising of B City’s top ten eligible bachelors, was one of the men most desired by high-class ladies to be their husbands.

Although it was only in the past.

Don’t ask why Jing Chen knew about these trivial matters. Purely because his subordinates were once extremely bored and discussed these issues in front of him. The reason was they felt indignant for him, after all, Mister Jing was now unhappy with that ranking.

Back then, he had conceded second place to Xu Yibai. What a mistake.

Jing Chen absolutely denied that he was inferior to Xu Yibai.

It was once disregarded, but Mister Jing now does care. The ranking clearly implied that they thought he was less of an ideal type than Xu Yibai.

Actually, it isn’t really the case, there were specific reasons behind those choices.

Firstly, although Jing Chen had a good reputation, in the vast B City, not many people had really seen him. After all, he spends most of his time in the Military Camp, almost always living in legend;

Secondly, it was because Jing Chen was a soldier. As a soldier, of course, he couldn’t possibly prioritize his wife entirely;

Thirdly and again, it was because he was a soldier. No woman would want to suddenly receive news of her husband’s death on duty one day, or live out her life as a widow. This was not something the average woman could bear. Although Jing Chen was indeed formidable, it was inevitable that... even the best horse could stumble.

Therefore, naturally, in the eyes of the well-bred ladies, the most badass and formidable Mister Jing in B City, actually came second to a true businessman.

Hearing Jing Chen’s words, the corners of Xu Yibai’s mouth raised slightly, his gaze slowly fixing on Mu Lin, "Linlin, how about I take you to a good place, alright?" Asking for Mu Lin’s opinion, of course, he ignored Jing Chen.

After glancing at Jing Chen’s slightly darkened handsome face, Mu Lin finally nodded her head, "Anyplace is fine." She’s not a picky eater.

Jing Chen’s eyebrows furrowed deeper.

Mu Lin, at this moment, didn’t know that the main reason for Jing Chen’s expression was due to Xu Yibai’s endearing address of her as Linlin. When he heard Mu Lin’s nonchalant response, Jing Chen’s aura intensified.

His girl, when will she understand that names aren’t something to be called recklessly by others?

...

Xu Yibai originally planned to drive, but when the Lobby Manager at the front desk saw that Mu Lin was going out, he immediately arranged a car for escort. Seeing that there was a car, Xu Yibai was happy to be free of the duty and even happier for not having to drive.

Watching the trio’s departing figure, the Lobby Manager tut-tutted and marveled at their retreating figures.

The men by Doctor Mu’s side were all of high-quality.

The atmosphere in the car remained strange, but Mu Lin seemed to get used to it. After a short while, the three finally arrived at their destination.

The Champs Elysées, a classy name. Just like the name, the place was also quite classy. The little bridges and flowing water created a unique mood.

Looking at Xu Yibai, who was leading the way at the forefront, Mu Lin suddenly thought that this place and Xu Yibai matched quite well. At least at this moment, it felt very suitable.

Compared to the first time they met, the current Xu Yibai had shed his sharp, prickly edge and maintained an air of elegance, appearing like the perfect gentleman.

Mu Lin didn’t know that only in front of her, Xu Yibai was this way. In the Mall, he was still tough, ruthless, and showed no mercy.

"Mr. Xu." A somewhat surprised voice sounded, looking at Xu Yibai, the Manager asked, "Is Mr. Xu alone?" He seemed to have not noticed the two people behind him.

Xu Yibai shook his head, the corner of his mouth curving up slightly, "No, three people."

Seeing Xu Yibai’s slight smile, the Manager was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained his composure, swiftly glancing over Mu Lin and Jing Chen behind him, then led the three to a private room, "Please, this way."

As a gentleman, he pulled the chair out for Mu Lin to sit down, then took a seat on her other side. His eyes faintly glided over Jing Chen’s hands, a glimmer of cold light visible.

From the moment they stepped out of the car, Jing Chen’s hand has not left Mu Lin’s side.

"Linlin, how about you order something?" Xu Yibai placed the menu in front of Mu Lin, before Mu Lin could react, the menu was snatched up by Jing Chen in a flash and slowly moved in front of him, "Linlin doesn’t like the hassle of ordering, I can do it; after all, I know exactly what Linlin likes to eat the most, isn’t that right?"
