Chapter 308: Chapter 231: Mu Lin, Who was Noticed by Others (Second Update)_1

What’s with him today? That was the only question on Mu Lin’s mind at the moment.

However.

"Mm." She answered lightly with a nod. She’s not a picky eater, nor does she have any particular preferences. Jing Chen indeed knew her general taste. After all, they had shared several meals together. There were even a few times when he cooked himself.

Hmm... this would be the ultimate good man in today’s mundane world: he doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink, doesn’t gamble, and even cooks.

As for the first three, Mu Lin never witnessed them, so naturally she assumed Jing Chen doesn’t do them. As for cooking, she had tasted it before, so of course he can cook. To be honest, Mu Lin quite liked the taste.

Seeing Mu Lin’s cooperation, Jing Chen was somewhat surprised with a raised eyebrow. He even thought that Mu Lin would directly say, "I’m not picky", which sometimes left him a bit helpless.

Staring at Jing Chen, Xu Yibai chuckled without any particular expression, "In that case, we’ll have to trouble Mr. Jing." A shallow smile playing at the corner of his mouth, he also took the opportunity to understand Mu Lin’s preferences.

It can’t be denied that businessmen are cunning.

Mr. Jing, do you realize you have been outwitted?

Looking at Jing Chen, he seemed not to mind at all.

As regular and privileged customers, their meals were served remarkably fast. Without saying much, Jing Chen simply ate while using the public chopsticks to serve food to Mu Lin with ease. During this brief time, he didn’t spare a single glance for Xu Yibai.

The corner of his mouth slightly raised, neither shallow nor indifferent, something within those calm eyes that ordinary people couldn’t comprehend.

"Mr. Jing is always busy. Why did you suddenly come to Ming City?" The melodious voice echoed in Jing Chen’s ear the next moment. Finally lifting his eyes, he briefly glanced at the man before him, "As you wish." These three terse words were filled with limitless arrogance.

Mu Lin raised an eyebrow at him but didn’t say anything. She simply lowered her head to continue eating while pondering upon what to bring back as dinner for Qiaozi.

The storm between the two men didn’t concern her. Regrettably, the divine doctor Mu had no clue about it.

Under the lowered gaze, Xu Yibai glanced at Mu Lin, then back at Jing Chen. Was this truly the well-known Mr. Jing? His arrogant and proud demeanor was completely different from the man who used to emanate a chilling aura, akin to an automatic air-conditioner. Apart from appearances and his aura, they were two completely different people.

The only thing Xu Yibai was currently grateful for was that Mu Lin had not yet "awakened". However, based on their interaction, it seemed as if Mu Lin had already become accustomed to Jing Chen, including his touch.

From their past interactions during her treatments, Xu Yibai had clearly gotten to know Mu Lin’s habits. She doesn’t like anyone getting too close, even when providing medical help.

But today, Mu Lin showed no signs of rejecting Jing Chen’s constant holding of her hand or his arm around her waist. There wasn’t even a trace of repulsion, let alone any signs of disgust in her expressions, which startled Xu Yibai.

From being used to someone naturally comes love. Before Mu Lin truly fell in love with Jing Chen, Xu Yibai knew this was his only chance, otherwise... he had a sudden urge to laugh bitterly. By then, he would not stand a chance at all.

He could tell that with Mu Lin, if she doesn’t love someone, she doesn’t. But once she does, it’s a firm commitment. He didn’t want to witness this phenomenon. At least not at the moment.

"Linlin, how long are you staying in Ming City this time?" Just because Mr. Jing remained tight-lipped doesn’t mean it was the same case with Mu Lin.

"I’m not sure." After swallowing her mouthful, Mu Lin answered vaguely, "Why do you ask?" Was there any special reason?

Xu Yibai gave a subtle smile, "Nothing much. I’ll be working here in Ming City for quite some time. If you’re around, we might have more opportunities to go out and about. Ming City is a rather beautiful place." Of course, most importantly, he would have more chances to be near Mu Lin. Even if he couldn’t make her fall in love with him, at least he could make her get used to his existence.

"Oh." Mu Lin raised an eyebrow, her reaction indifferent, seemingly uninterested.

Looking up to meet a pair of icy hawk-like eyes, "It’s a pity that our Linlin might not have that much leisure time." Jing Chen scoffed.
