Chapter 591: Chapter 396: Hate Iron for Not Becoming Steel (First Update)_1

"Mu Lin." As soon as Mu Lin returned to the hotel, stepping into the lobby, a voice full of surprise reached her ears. Mu Lin turned her head, only to frown involuntarily upon seeing the figure.

He’s like a ghost which won’t go away.

Watching the man as he walked toward herself, Mu Lin thought that this was the phrase that best described him.

Without hesitation, she turned around, no longer placing her attention on him.

Watching the two of them reunite again, just like the day before, the hotel staff began to tread on eggshells. They looked up anxiously, afraid that the same incident would happen again; because of that incident, their hotel’s business had suffered a lot.

Of course, they had no intention of blaming them, after all, they had been the victims too.

Also, they had seen Mu Lin carrying a gun with her, who had returned quickly after going to the police station. Many of the hotel staff would speculate about Mu Lin’s true identity.

She was so skilled, could she be some kind of spy or international police officer?

Cough, cough... The above was purely speculation.

Without uttering a word, he simply followed Mu Lin with a peculiar look on his face.

Mu Lin halted, turned around and frowned.

Mi Zheng shrugged innocently, looking even more innocent, "Mu Lin, don’t misunderstand, I’m not following you." It was merely a coincidence that they were going the same way.

She raised her delicate eyebrow, her gaze icy cold.

Mu Lin really didn’t feel like dealing with the man in front of her. Her good mood from earlier vanished the moment she saw him.

She really didn’t know what he was trying to achieve by being so persistent.

Before Mu Lin could say anything, Mi Zheng suddenly pulled out a room card, with its packaging still unopened.

2813.

This was the room next to Mu Lin’s, 2815.

Indeed, he’s like a ghost which refuses to leave.

"What is it that you’re trying to do by getting this close to me?" Smiling faintly, Mu Lin looked at Mi Zheng. Her smile was ambiguous, and the light laughter didn’t reach her eyes.

"If I said I like you, would you believe it?" His eyes were full of humour as he looked at Mu Lin. Despite being a big man, he was more tempting than any woman.

Even though Jing Tian had a feminine appearance, she didn’t hate it. She even liked it to an extent, but the man in front of her? His mere sight was revolting to her.

Jing, the elder, said: Don’t compare me to such a disgusting man.

"Like me." Mu Lin laughed as if it were the funniest joke she had ever heard, raising her eyebrows at him, "What part of me do you like? Tell me, I will change." She would definitely change.

Mi Zheng: "I like your stubbornness, your agility, your appearance, everything about you including your... disgust for me." He wanted to see how she would change.

She looked cold-hearted, her red lips tightened, with deep eyes like a cold pond.

This man was doing this on purpose.

Just as Gu Muqing stepped into the hotel, she heard a man with feminine features confessing to her future daughter-in-law. It made her previously pleasant face turn serious in an instant.

Her Chenchen had finally set his eyes on a daughter-in-laaw, how could she let someone else steal her away?

Let alone, this woman who she had briefly met once but had never spoken to was someone she was extremely satisfied with.

He dared to steal her right in front of her, such courage!

She began to stride toward the two of them.

"Linlin, so you’re here. I’ve been looking for you." Before Mu Lin could say anything, a delighted and surprised voice suddenly sounded next to her. Mu Lin looked towards the woman walking towards herself in a formal dress and a gentle smile, a flash of curiosity crossing her face.

She seemed to have seen this woman somewhere, but couldn’t remember where.

Unfortunately, Mu Lin, who suffered from prosopagnosia, wasn’t able to remember; it was indeed difficult for her to remember someone from just one meeting.

Watching the confusion flicker across Mu Lin’s face, Gu Muqing couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

It seemed that her precious son was right, her future daughter-in-law did have prosopagnosia. If she had known that this would be her future daughter-in-law, she would have had a good chat with her to bond, even if it meant missing a date with her husband. That way she wouldn’t have been forgotten.

Sigh... it had been such a long time since last time they met.

If it wasn’t for the old man calling her relative and then she, as a mother herself, phoning her son, she would not have known that her son’s wife had gone to her relative’s territory. She had just happened to be on holiday, of course, she would rush over to have a look.

Unexpectedly, the moment she arrived, such a scene unfolded before her eyes.

Fortunately, her future daughter-in-law held her ground without being moved by the opponent’s confession; truly the woman her son chose.

"You don’t remember me." Approaching Mu Lin, she pulls him away from Mi Zheng, then turns to him. Her facial expression was full of kindness, her smile warm and harmonious.

Looking at her, Mu Lin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if in thought, and suddenly said, "You are... Chen’s mother." He recognized the woman in front of him, seeing hints of his grandfather in her face.

The only one who knew him and could be so intimate with him must be Jing Chen’s mother.

But... yesterday they said it was his father, how did it change suddenly?

Usually, people say their sons resemble their mothers, but in Mu Lin’s case, it had completely flipped.

"Finally, I have met my future daughter-in-law." Not sure if it was on purpose, Gu Muqing’s words were loud and clear.

Not far away, the two soldiers who had arrived with Gu Muqing in military uniform looked curiously at Mu Lin.

So this is their future daughter-in-law, she is truly beautiful, no wonder someone tried to steal her away.

A man who looked like a lady dared to compete with their respected master for a wife, he should take a look in the mirror and evaluate his own worth.

In the eyes of soldiers, a man like Mi Zheng wouldn’t even make the cut unless he could best them in a fight.

Upon hearing Gu Muqing’s words, the corner of Mu Lin’s mouth twitched; when had she become her daughter-in-law, how come she didn’t know?

Well, that doesn’t matter.

Mu Lin turned to Mi Zheng, "Thank you very much for your feelings, but as you can see, I am committed to someone else; though I don’t understand whirlwind romance, once I have decided on someone, I will stay with him for the rest of my life."

"In this life, I, Mu Lin, will either not marry, or I will marry my man!" And so...

Her icy gaze fixed on Mi Zheng, "Even though I don’t know why you said what you said just now, or what your true intentions are, I have to remind you not to waste your time." Her time was precious.

Also, "I have limited patience. If you approach me so recklessly again, I will make sure not to... show any mercy."

Intentional, this man’s approach, even his confession were too calculative. As for his real purpose, at least for now, only he knew.

Watching Mu Lin, Gu Muqing felt like applauding her.

I, Mu Lin, will either not marry or I will only marry my man!

Listem, such a domineering phrase! Tsk, if her darling son heard this, he would probably be overjoyed.

Oh my, she accidentally forgot to record that moment.

Such a pity...

Mi Zheng looked at Mu Lin without uttering a word. His feigned smile disappeared as he watched Mu Lin with a complicated look, but the next moment, the curvature of his lips suddenly rose again. "As long as you are not married, I believe I still have... a great opportunity. We, can take the time to understand each other."

His charming eyes moved to Mu Lin’s hands, "What’s more, it seems that the other person is not as devoted to you as I am, isn’t it? I believe that given time, I can definitely make you change your current feelings."

The words were filled with pride and confidence.

Subconsciously looking at Mu Lin’s little hand, Gu Muqing suddenly felt the urge to pull out her precious son and give him a good beating.

Such a disappointment.

He hasn’t even put on the ring yet, was he delaying too much? Had he forgotten her teachings?

Ah... What was she to do about this brat! Doesn’t he know the saying, strike first and gain the upper hand? Can’t he see that the man trying to steal his girl is so confident? If he doesn’t pick up the pace, it would be perilous. If it were not for the future daughter-in-law who held her ground and didn’t waver, he would have had died from regret.

Though displeased, Gu Muqing had to admit that the man standing before her was indeed capable of charming young girls. Many young girls in reality like his type.

Gentlemanly, tender-hearted and romantic, certainly a better charmer than their son.

Narrowing her eyes, Gu Muqing looked towards Mi Zheng, her lips slowly curving into a grin, "Young man." She attracted Mi Zheng’s attention from Mu Lin to herself, "Although I’m quite moved by your dedication, but confessing to my daughter-in-law in front of me, her future mother-in-law, is a bit too much, don’t you think?"

The smile on her face fades, she coldly scoffs, "Since you’ve already said it, it’s only right for me to say something in return."

"No one in this world has ever been able to steal anyone from our Jing family." Let alone, her chosen daughter-in-law.

"Then we’ll wait and see." Mi Zheng taunted, his smile nasty.
