Chapter 429: Chapter 303 Grandfather is such a stingy person (first update)_1

Who would have thought, Mu Lin actually has this enthusiastic side too!

Ya Yan, with her cheeks still in her hands, insisted she didn’t notice it before because Mu Lin always looked indifferent.

How admirable!

Because of this admiration, when Ya Yan later recognized her feelings for Yan Zilei, that rush of enthusiasm proved to be very beneficial for him. Of course, this is another story.

Ya Yan was "trained" by this entire look; who knows how Mu Lin would feel if she knew, but Yan Zilei would most certainly be satisfied. He had always looked forward to being overwhelmed, so no need to be shy.

As she stepped out of the room, Mu Lin saw Ya Yan holding her cheeks and daydreaming. The silver was on the coffee table in front of her, looking gloomy.

"Ya Yan." Mu Lin descended from the loft and sat diagonally across from her, "What brings you here?" this early in the morning.

"Ah... Mu Lin, you came down so quickly?" She blurted out what she was thinking; she thought it would take her a long time.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lin frowned, "Yes, I had to come down." Mu Lin was simply blunt with her words without showing a hint of embarrassment.

"Oh, I’m sorry." Ya Yan quickly apologized, her pretty face flushed, "Is your boyfriend not angry?" She asked this question somewhat cautiously.

To be honest, Ya Yan had only seen Jing Chen once, but she was somewhat afraid of this man. She felt that he was even more frightening than her brother when he was angry. Even if he didn’t say anything, just his presence alone was enough to instill fear. She didn’t expect Mu Lin to like such a serious man.

Ya Yan had no idea that when Yan Zilei was angry at her, it was mostly an act. How could he actually be angry with her? But Jing Chen was different. His aura had been honed on the battlefield; it was full of justice and bloodshed, coldness beneath the bloodshed. Apart from when he was with Mu Lin, he always appeared cold. Women who saw him were either afraid or in love with him. Basically, there were only these two options.

Hearing Ya Yan’s words and seeing her cautious expression, Mu Lin burst into laughter, "You’re thinking too much, he’s not that petty." He probably wouldn’t be angry, just gloomy.

Mr. Jing: I am indeed that petty!

"That’s good then." Ya Yan nodded her head and stopped thinking aimlessly. She felt like she had done something wrong, but fortunately, Mu Lin didn’t seem to mind.

"You still haven’t told me, how did you get here?" Questions like how she entered, were unnecessary for Mu Lin to ask, because Uncle Qiaozi was here, and it’s not a big deal.

"Today is the weekend, I haven’t seen you and Silver for a long time, so I came over after breakfast... sorry about just now." Her voice was as soft as a mosquito. Oh no, her face was turning red again.

Mu Lin laughed lightly, "Don’t mind it." The feeling of shyness, apart from that moment, had long been cast aside.

Ya Yan nodded, reminding herself not to overthink. After a pause, she looked at Mu Lin and suddenly asked, "Mu Lin, have you prepared your dress?"

Dress?

Mu Lin had a bare, big question mark over her head, "What dress?"

Your dress

Ya Yan looked at Mu Lin unconsciously, "You didn’t forget, right? The banquet is tonight!" How could that be possible!

Mu Lin raised her eyebrows unabashedly, "I did, indeed, forget." She never seemed to have thought about the dress. Mu Lin had never attended any form of banquet before.

"Oh my God!" Ya Yan held her forehead, feeling for the first time that she was more reliable than Mu Lin. As they were attending the banquet together, Ya Yan had started preparing her dress as soon as she got home. She originally wanted to help Mu Lin prepare her dress as well, but she didn’t know Mu Lin’s size, so she had to give up.

However, when Mu Lin asked the next question, Ya Yan really wanted to collapse for her.

"Where is the banquet?" Although Mu Lin had received the invitation, she never seemed to have opened it to look. She asked casually.

Ya Yan: "..."

"Mu Lin, for the first time I discovered you’re really slow." In Ya Yan’s impression, Mu Lin was always a comforting and fierce presence. She never thought Mu Lin could have this side.

Ya Yan felt like she had discovered another Mu Lin. Isn’t that exciting?

In fact, when all aspects of Mu Lin are combined, she’s just the carefree Mu Lin.

Mu Lin gave a faint smile, not feeling anything special towards Ya Yan’s appraisal.

"The banquet starts at seven-thirty tonight, located in the fifth-floor banquet hall of Hongda hotel." Ya Yan explained to Mu Lin, "Actually, it’s my first time attending a formal banquet like this."

"It seems Yan Zilei has kept you well hidden." Mu Lin lightly laughed; this hotel was quite nice.

"That’s not it." Ya Yan denied that her brother was keeping her away - he was just trying to protect her. "My brother just wants to protect me better, so I don’t want him to worry about me after a long day of work." It would break her heart to see that.

Once, she was hungry late at night and got up to find food. As she passed Yan Zilei’s study room, she saw her brother still working under the lamp. That figure has haunted her since then. She had never seen Yan Zilei look so handsome. They say a man is at his most handsome when working, but it also looked tiring.

From then on, Ya Yan almost never refused Yan Zilei’s requests. Whatever he said, she would listen; of course, anything Ya Yan said, Yan Zilei rarely refused either.

Including...before the verbal engagement between Ya Yan and Du Hongyu, Yan Zilei asked Ya Yan if she was willing. Ya Yan answered that she was because she thought she liked Du Hongyu at that time. So even though he was reluctant, he didn’t refuse. Of course, he couldn’t help but meddle behind the scenes, which was inevitable.

It was a small gamble at that time, and Yan Zilei won.

Mu Lin watched Ya Yan with a light smile on the corner of her lips. It seemed Yan Zilei wasn’t unrequitedly in love, Ya Yan just hadn’t discovered yet that her feelings for Yan Zilei were not familial love, but romantic love. Compared to Du Hongyu, Yan Zilei was absolutely the most suitable person for Ya Yan in the world.

Because nobody loved her, understood her, or spoiled her more than he did.

As for Yan Zilei, even though they had only met twice, Mu Lin’s impression of him was basically that he was a cunning businessman as well as a devoted lover.

Little Ya Yan would soon be completely taken by him, just like... ahem, what was she thinking about?

A certain handsome face somehow floated into Mu Lin’s mind, and she couldn’t shake it off.

The very next moment, Jing Chen came downstairs, already dressed immaculately. His imposing aura and cold manner were completely different from his demeanor in bed.

Ah, ahem... Ya Yan coughed subconsciously and sneakily glanced at Jing Chen.

Once again, Ya Yan was impressed by Mu Lin; she reckoned that apart from Mu Lin, nobody else in the world could tame a man like him.

Ya Yan sighed in her heart.

Mu Lin suddenly realized that there was never a smell of cigarettes on Jing Chen. She had never seen him smoke before, which was actually quite nice.

When it came to smells, Mu Lin was very sensitive. She had scented it on most men and she didn’t like it.

"Hello." Seeing Jing Chen, Ya Yan’s little butt shifted backwards a bit, continuing to shift until she felt a safe enough distance, then she nodded slightly at Jing Chen and greeted him.

"Hello." Although he was still not comfortable, Jing Chen responded to Ya Yan quite politely, then wrapped his arm around Mu Lin and stopped speaking.

Lowering her head, Ya Yan felt awkward and didn’t know what to say. She was scared of him.

Whimper, why was he here too? She originally wanted to have a good chat with Mu Lin. When Jing Chen was present, Ya Yan completely forgot what she wanted to say next.

Thankfully, the doorbell rang as if it were a lifesaver. Without delay, Ya Yan stood up, "I’ll get the door." Before her voice even completely faded, she disappeared with a whizz.

Watching Ya Yan’s disappearing figure, Mu Lin couldn’t help but laugh, then turned her head to Jing Chen, "Why are you scaring her?" The aura he was exuding was strong and he hadn’t bothered to hide it. Reaching out, she pinched Jing Chen’s rigid handsome face, so hard that it remained expressionless.

"I didn’t scare her". Jing Chen looked down at Mu Lin, "It’s just her being too timid."

"Your appearance would scare any normal person." His face always so taut, Mu Lin really couldn’t understand why so many people liked him.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Jing Chen’s mouth, "As long as my lady isn’t scared, I’m satisfied." He never missed an opportunity to flirt with Mu Lin.

Soon, Ya Yan led the people from outside in. Seeing the newcomers, Jing Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly and he raised an eyebrow.

It seemed that today was not going to be a good day for him.
