Chapter 519: Chapter 356: The Little White Rabbit With God of Decline (Third Update)_1

"None of you should stop me." He had to show them what it means to have nine lives like a crow.

Well, he has really started...such a childish guy. Approaching thirty and still couldn’t find a wife. No wonder.

Everyone looked at Wu Ya as if he was an idiot. Mu Lin glanced at him indifferently before continuing her struggle.

Ying Sun and his crew originally wanted to help, but Mu Lin refused. This plant was highly toxic. If someone was accidentally pricked by the two sharp spikes on its leaves, she couldn’t guarantee she’d be able to save them.

As for herself; although Mu Lin knew she was immune to all poisons, she was absolutely not going to take risks with unknown items.

As far as Mu Lin was concerned, Wuhuan Grass was an unknown entity because she hadn’t studied it herself so she had to be cautious for now.

Seeing that Mu Lin disagreed, Ying Sun and his crew retreated and rested aside.

Finally, with some soil attached, Mu Lin carefully harvested the Wuhuan Grass. She treated it extremely preciously before heading back to Jing Chen and sitting down next to him.

"You should wash your hands." Jing Chen handed her a water jug.

Mu Lin nodded and stretched out her hands. They were smeared with a bit of dirt, not too dirty.

Jing Chen genuinely realized how dedicated Mu Lin was with her herbal medicines, something average people couldn’t comprehend.

During their journey, while she didn’t have a chance to gather herbs on the way, on her return, Mu Lin managed to harvest a lot of them, aided mostly by Ying Sun’s crew. This was the first time he had seen her so nervous.

Just as Mu Lin carefully treated the strange herb, Jing Chen sighed quietly in his heart. He shouldn’t be jealous of a plant.

Jing Chen roughly understood why Mu Lin liked to live in the forest. The abundance of herbs made everything convenient.

This was indeed true.

He pulled Mu Lin into his arms without regard for the singles around them. Jing Chen’s sweet voice asked her near her ear, "Will you go back to B City with me this time?" He wanted her to come back with him for he wanted to spend more time with her.

Mu Lin looked downward, as if she was pondering.

"The old man misses you." Jing Chen said. When Mu Lin looked at him, he continued: "I miss you even more." As he said this, the hand around her waist tightened.

Hearing these words, which sounded like a love confession, Mu Lin looked at him with a smile, "I know." Because, "I miss you too." Ever since he left, she had been unable to sleep.

She missed him, wanting him to always hold her in his arms. She had grown used to, and moreover... fallen in love with this embrace.

She didn’t hesitate to admit that she liked someone. At the start, she didn’t really understand, but when she did, Mu Lin never hid her feelings.

Hearing this straightforward confession, Jing Chen was stunned for a moment before laughing. The curve of his smile was so dazzling that it seemed to blind the titanium alloy eyes of Ying Sun’s crew.

Boss, aren’t you aware of the saying...’those who flaunt their love die fast’? How many rounds of displaying affection have you guys gone through on this journey, aren’t you tired?!

Of course, nobody had the nerve to say that in front of Mu Lin and Jing Chen; they hadn’t yet become masochistic enough to seek their own punishment.

If it weren’t for the fact that the setting and scene at this time were inappropriate,

She was so blatantly seducing him; he unconsciously kissed Mu Lin’s eyes.

Didn’t she know, when she looked at him like that?

Mu Lin was confused. How could she not know what she had done! Her clear and expressionless eyes looked exceptionally innocent.

Leaning against Jing Chen, she found a comfortable position. She held his hand and played with it casually, comparing their hands.

The large hand holding the smaller one, the large hand covering the smaller one, their fingers intertwining perfectly, without any gaps.

"Why not, I’ll go back with you for a trip." Mu Lin suddenly spoke, turning to face Jing Chen.

Jing Chen was somewhat surprised. "Why would you suddenly want to go back? You haven’t finished your work here, right? And our deal was for three months; it’s barely been more than a month."

Although he really wanted her to go, Jing Chen didn’t want his matters to delay what she urgently wanted to do. She had already faced danger this time because of him and to some extent, Jing Chen felt guilty.

Hearing Jing Chen’s words, Mu Lin’s lips curved slightly. "Didn’t you say the old man missed me?" Her teasing words were followed by a casual continuation, "I miss Master Jing too. Also, given that quite some time has passed, I think I should return to check his pulse to see if his health is improving. I had left him quite a few body strengthening drugs." She planned to see how well he was doing.

Pulling herself together, she continued, "I can visit Master Zhou and Mistress Mei along the way." Back in B City, they were the first people who were kind to her.

"Very well." Jing Chen nodded. "As long as Linlin is happy." He wished he could spend more time with her, every minute and even every second was precious to him.

"After returning to B City, I need to go to C Province." She thought that it was time to share her affairs with him.

"C Province?" Jing Chen frowned reflexively.

"I had a confrontation with them before coming here." She had mentioned this to him before. "C Province has the answers I want to know. Even if they are not the true answers, I have to go there."

She knew he would understand.

"I understand, you go ahead." Jing Chen spoke, his chin resting on Mu Lin’s head. "I’ll come find you once things ease down a bit." His side could never be without her.

"Okay." Mu Lin’s eyes lit up, revealing an uncharacteristically radiant look of happiness—a happiness she had never experienced before.

Perhaps, Mu Lin didn’t fully comprehend the meaning of happiness, but she knew that she liked being close to Jing Chen. Of course, she wouldn’t allow anyone else to have the same affection for him.

"After I finish things in C Province, I will return to be with you." Her serene voice echoed again; she wanted to stand by his side.

"Okay." He was waiting eagerly.

...

Ming City, this was where the Ya Family’s business tower resides.

Ya Yan had never imagined that one day, she would be stopped outside her family’s tower. She believed that this day was the unluckiest she had ever experienced—nothing could be worse.

Why?

She had sneaked out all by herself, but when she left she forgot to bring her wallet. Luckily, the taxi driver was kind; seeing that she really had no money, he didn’t make things difficult for her and let her off the car.

However!

Just as the taxi drove off and she turned to call Leilei to come and get her, her phone...was stolen.

Just like that, it was stolen...Ya Yan conceded, how could she, draped in high heels, chase someone whose speed was completely unmatched to hers?

But, never mind, that person stealing her phone was useless anyway.

Ya Yan’s phone had been set up such that if you failed to unlock it four times in a row, then... "bang", you know what would happen.

As a result, Ya Yan was now pitifully stuck without her phone or money. She was forced to go inside the Ya Family’s building to find Leilei.

She remembered, he was probably working on the topmost floor.

The Ya Family’s business building was not very tall, it was probably about thirty floors high; compared to other Ya Family’s properties, it was indeed smaller.

However, it’s reputation was quite notable; after all, this was the Ya Family’s property.

However, when Ya Yan approached the Ya Family tower intending to go up to find leilei herself, she was stopped by someone.

"What are you doing?" Ya Yan glanced at the woman in front of her who was probably a staff member of the Ya Family’s building, judging by her uniform, which was the same as worn by the receptionist not far away.

"Miss, may I ask what you were planning to do?" The woman looked at Ya Yan and responded politely.

"I want to find my brother." Ya Yan stated. "Why are you stopping me?" The chain of events, coupled with the current situation, had left Ya Yan pretty upset, which showed up in her tone of voice—harder than usual.

"I’m sorry, Miss, but we have strict rules here at the Ya Family. Outsiders are absolutely not permitted to enter. Why don’t you call your brother to come down?" The employee suggested.

The girl in front of her had a simple yet naturally noble demeanor, and the employee recognized the brand of the jewelry she was wearing. Therefore, she did not want to speak harshly.

Regrettably.

"I can’t." Ya Yan shook her head. "My phone was just stolen at the entrance. I’m penniless now, so I have to find my brother." Otherwise, she wouldn’t even know how to get back home.

After all, the Ya Family residence was not near the Ya family building.

"This..." The staff member looked at Ya Yan suspiciously. Could this really be such a coincidence?

"Or, you tell me your brother’s name, and I’ll look it up for you." Or maybe, "If you remember your brother’s phone number, we can dial it for you."

Unfortunately, Ya Yan still shook her head. "I don’t remember my brother’s number." She should have memorized it. Next time, she will definitely remember it.

"Well ... at least tell me the name of your brother, so I can check if he really works here." The staff member felt helpless as they didn’t get any useful information from Ya Yan.

Ya Yan: "I am sure my brother is here." If her brother Leilei was not at Ya Family building, where else would he be? But this time, Ya Yan finally provided a tangible piece of information. "My brother’s full name is Yan Zilei, he told me he works on the topmost floor here."

"Oh, Yan Zilei." The staff member instinctively breathed a sigh of relief. At least now they could finally check.

However, the next moment, she was startled awake.

Yan Zilei!

Wasn’t that their CEO?!

The staff member was taken aback.
