Chapter 406: Chapter 288 - Really Opened One’s Mind (Second Update)_1

Such a swift rise attracts attention, but no cause could be found.

"Also, the medicines they produce, whether in effect or reputation, are quite good in the market." He once thought that might be the main reason for their rapid rise, but on second thought, it didn’t seem that simple.

He always felt that something was off, but he couldn’t find the source until one day he discovered that there was someone else behind the Sun Family.

"Listening to you, am I in the same line of work as them?" Mu Lin laughed, after all, she also liked to prepare Chinese medicine and turn them into pills for convenience.

"Perhaps." Yan Zilei smiled faintly, not considering the Sun Family to be on par with Mu Lin. He took Mu Lin’s words as a joke.

However, after Yan Zilei’s words, Mu Lin became somewhat interested in the Sun Family; the more mysterious an entity, the more likely it carries a mysterious plot. What secret is hidden within the Sun Family? It’s certainly thought-provoking.

"But," Mu Lin suddenly frowned, "since their family runs a pharmaceutical company, there must be some kind of medicine master inside. Why didn’t she take the matter on herself earlier? Wouldn’t those people feel more grateful to her?" Hearing threats was unnecessary.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Yan Zilei laughed sarcastically, "She is only using them. Moreover, she probably doesn’t even see that small family worthy. " He glanced at the silent Jing Chen next to Mu Lin, "Mu Lin, better hide your lover well, lest someone else steal him from you." That would be quite a loss.

His teasing words earned him a cold stare from Jing Chen, which froze Yan Zilei’s smile instantly.

Indeed, when he doesn’t hide it, this man’s aura is indeed terrifying; Yan Zilei had met soldiers before, they carry an aura of righteousness, rigor, and persistence, but this man beside Mu Lin, he only felt coldness, and a bloodthirsty aura.

The hands of this man must be stained with countless lives, and he was sure they were not all good people.

Hearing him say that, Mu Lin laughed lightly, her mouth curved in a carefree smile, "If she dares to steal mine, I will steal her ancestral tomb; then I can finally see what kind of existence lies behind them as you said, that mysteriously lies behind them." Her words were accompanied by an icy chill.

Everything of hers, Mu Lin’s, was not for just anyone to desire.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Jing Chen smirked, amusingly lost. Yan Zilei was not sure how to react to the atmosphere between the two of them; it was clearly a cold winter moment ago, but suddenly it feels springtime when Mu Lin speaks. This man was indeed complicated. Without saying much, Yan Zilei affirmed one thing; perhaps Xu Yibai really didn’t stand a chance.

It seems that he also needs to speed up, getting ahead is actually stronger, falling behind is actually asking for defeat! Meeting Mu Lin for such a short period of time, a man suddenly appeared by her side, he didn’t want to walk the same path his brother once did and miss a chance, if his beloved really falls in love with someone else someday, he doesn’t know what he would become.

He even doubts that even if he hates it, he would also tie Ya Yan to his side; because without her, he doesn’t even know how to move on with his life; so, his beloved, the one in the bottom of his heart, must be him, and can only be him.

Ah, he wonders if Xu Yibai knows about Mu Lin’s current situation, he should make a phone call to ask later, and by the way, tell him about the Charity Banquet, he doesn’t know if he has time to come over.

Afterwards, the three went their separate ways.

In the car.

Mu Lin leaned casually on the seat, propping her chin with one hand, staring at Jing Chen without blinking.

"Staring at me like this, have you discovered that you suddenly love me more?" Jing Chen’s cold smile surfaced at the corner of his mouth, leaning over to help Mu Lin fasten her seat belt, but did not move away, leaving her completely in his scope on the passenger seat.

He was hoping that Mu Lin would nod and admit to his words, but unfortunately.

The corner of her mouth curled into a nonchalant smile, and Mu Lin’s hands suddenly cupped his face, "Sir, I really didn’t expect your face to be quite a peach blossom magnet, even attracting the attention of women who are already in love." She wondered if she should make a few cuts on this face to make it less appealing.

"Chen." However, the next moment, Jing Chen suddenly said.

"What?" Mu Lin was confused for a moment, a puzzled look on her face. Were they discussing the same issue?

"You called me Chen just now, call me that from now on." Jing Chen corrected her, although he liked the soft tone of Mu Lin’s voice when she called him sir, he preferred the way she called his name with a pleasant tone in her voice.

Mu Lin was taken aback, almost laughing unintentionally, "A name is just a code." He was taking it too seriously.

"However, Linlin, I like it when you call me Chen, it’s a code that belongs to you alone." Focused on Mu Lin, his voice was deep, slightly husky, seemingly laced with seduction.

"Okay then." Mu Lin raised an eyebrow, "I like exclusivity, Chen; you can only belong to me." Mu Lin had realized, she didn’t like it when other women gazed at Jing Chen with infatuated looks.

"Okay." Jing Chen laughed, laugh full of fondness, with so much gentleness in his eyes, it felt as if they could draw Mu Lin in, "Linlin."

"Hm?" Mu Lin responded subconsciously.

"I have never sought attention, because, stirring up trouble with you, my poisonous rose, is already enough." Even if it cost him his life, he had no regrets.

Jing Chen was delighted, his Linlin had come to a realization, and moreover, she had begun to reciprocate his feelings, including possessiveness, he liked her possessiveness.

Hearing this, Mu Lin smiled ever so slightly, opening her eyes, but were met with a pair of incredibly focused eyes, the anticipation in those eyes, and the deliberate care had rushed into her vision without any reservation.

Perhaps it was because he hadn’t expected Mu Lin to suddenly open her eyes, the eyes that met hers froze, a flash of nervousness crossed his eyes.

"Love." A cool voice with warmth, Mu Lin focused on Jing Chen, if her previous discomfort, possessiveness, and the pounding in her chest at this very moment, if this feeling was love, then she, loved him! Maybe not as deeply as he did when he looked at her, but Mu Lin knew, perhaps she had set her sights on him for a lifetime.

As long as there was no betrayal, she loved only him; if there was betrayal, Mu Lin didn’t want to think about it much.

"I love you too, love only you." Apart from her, he would never be moved by anyone else in his life; it was great, he finally got the answer he had been seeking.

Surprise surfaced blatantly in Jing Chen’s eyes, in that gaze, emotions swirled like a storm.

Their lips intertwined, making a blush-inducing, heart-pounding sound. His fiery passion made Mu Lin almost out of breath, as if her breath was being stolen, and she could only press herself weakly against him.

The kiss finally ended, Jing Chen held Mu Lin tightly in his arms, not willing to let go at all.

The one in his arms was his beloved, how could he treat her like this, she deserved the best in the world.

Being quietly held by Jing Chen, in a place he couldn’t see, Mu Lin’s cheeks turned rosy, her eyes held a gentle smile, Mu Lin at this moment exuded the aura that only existed in a young girl in love.

It seems, she truly had come to realization.

The couple, engrossed in their lovey-dovey, might not even have noticed that a certain silver lamp bulb was already sliding from Mu Lin’s side to her ankle, closing its eyes and ears, starting to fall asleep.

As a single snake that was still single, being beside his owners who were displaying affection was a tragic scene.

Master silver oh master silver, how could you be so easily conquered by someone else!

...

The sun set in the west, it should have been beautiful, but right now, the Sun family, inside Sun Yao’s bedroom, was in a state of chaos.

"On what ground, on what ground!" A green bracelet was shattered once again, if it were any other day, Sun Yao might have been heartbroken, but right now all she felt was rage.

She couldn’t accept it, she had spent so much time to get Du Hongyu, but ever since Yan Yan broke off their engagement, he had been cool towards her. She felt like he was blaming her, blaming her for seducing him.

Huh! Ever since she met Jing Chen, Sun Yao started to doubt herself, doubting why she fell for Du Hongyu, that weakling.

At first, she did intentionally get close to him, seduce him, but then, she fell for him genuinely; she loved him so much, but he was never willing to break up with Yan Yan on his own. So, in B City, she thought of getting someone to... ruin Yan Yan.
