Chapter 696: Chapter 459: Such a Simple Thing (Third Update)_1

Actually, they only found out about this incident unintentionally.

Mu Lin nodded, not denying it, "Actually, that’s true." In the beginning, she had indeed made such a trade with Chen; however, after obtaining further information, she decided not to stay in the army.

But later on...

"Will Sister-in-law leave?" Xigua asked again; if she gets married to the Boss, will she still continue to stay in the army, this was a question he wanted to know.

"Do you all, not wish for me to leave?" Instead of answering directly, Mu Lin asked in return.

They all nodded without hesitation, "We wouldn’t want you to; however, we fear that the Boss might not let sister-in-law stay with Ying Sun forever." After all, their missions are quite dangerous, once married, the Boss might not be willing, and probably will hide her very well.

They really hoped that wouldn’t be the case.

How should they put it, in their team of bachelors at Ying Sun, they finally had a token lady amongst them, it would be nice if sister could stay for a bit longer, at most, they could just avoid letting her go out on missions.

The reason wasn’t just about that, they just hoped Mu Lin could always stay with Ying Sun, just a hope.

Of course, Mu Lin didn’t know what these young boys had in their minds, however, "I can’t be sure about that; but...

But...

All of a sudden, everyone was staring at Mu Lin.

"Wherever your boss is in the future, that’s where I’ll be." This is what she had decided long ago, Mu Lin won’t let Jing Chen face danger alone; rather than worrying at home, it would be better to stay by his side.

Mu Lin had faith in her medical skills; if there was a day when even she couldn’t save him, then she might as well die with him.

Even though it’s such a solemn commitment, Mu Lin’s decision brings about a strange feeling.

It turns out that to live and to die together is such a simple matter.

She subconsciously touched the ring on her finger, the curve of her mouth was exceptionally bright in the eyes of others, "There’s no helping it, since I have already accepted his proposal, I might as well follow my husband’s lead."

Hmm, this idiom, is it used in this way, Mu Lin pondered with her eyebrows raised.

Xigua and the rest expressed that although they did not ask for this, they were suddenly fed with a mouthful of dog food, the single dogs expressed that they were hurt; they must find a wife when they go back.

They quickly finished eating and ran off without hesitation; they were the ones who wanted to come over just now; alas...they brought it upon themselves.

When Jing Chen came to Mu Lin, Mu Lin...was still eating.

Jing Chen looked at the several empty plates next to Mu Lin with some surprise, "Linlin, are you very hungry?" It seemed, she was really very hungry.

Mu Lin: "Not really, my mouth is just greedy, can’t stop eating; actually, I’m already full." Mu Lin admitted, the food in E Country, tasted quite good.

Indeed, not bad.

Jing Chen looked at Mu Lin, but his face showed some worry, though he always hoped she could eat more because she usually didn’t eat much during ordinary days but, "Linlin, don’t eat too much, you’ll get too stuffed." Overeating is not good for the stomach.

Mu Lin nodded, "Don’t worry, I know when to stop."

To avoid witnessing public display of affection, especially during the lovey-dovey meal times of these two, Ying Sun’s people smartly moved to a different mountain. As for others who didn’t realize clearly and saw available seats at Jing Chen and Mu Lin’s table, they sat down. However, upon seeing the couple’s behavior accidentally, they shifted uncomfortably, wanting to leave but wondering whether it would be impolite to do so.

In fact, Jing Chen didn’t pay any attention to them, not even a bit.

Those sharp eagle-like eyes were looking at Mu Lin, not revealing any aggressiveness at the bottom of his eyes.

Some people then noticed that it turned out Jing Chen had been thoroughly tamed. They only felt Mu Lin was... astounding; the legendary Jing Chen was taken down just like that and was also... so gentle.

This was simply a miraculous thing.

Perhaps because it’s convenient to discuss things at the dining table, this meal took almost over two hours to finish; must be because they hadn’t seen each other in years.

Later on, as the elder had been on the plane for almost ten hours, Vasily quite sensibly arranged for everyone to rest, planning to discuss other things the next day.

After returning to their residence, perhaps the elder remembered what Mu Lin said earlier, he instructed Jing Chen, after all, it’s not often they visit a foreign country, and E Country is a good place. There’s nothing to do in the afternoon, hence, he asked Jing Chen to take Mu Lin for a walk.

The residence here is quite safe; moreover, the elder could see, Mu Lin isn’t the kind of person who can sit and do nothing.

This was indeed the truth. Normally, Mu Lin liked to keep herself occupied, but right now, she wasn’t.

At first, Jing Chen hesitated, but eventually under the elder’s strong insistence, he nodded in agreement, instructing Ying Sun and his men to keep a keen watch. Any problems that arose could be reported to him directly.

Being flexible, he decided not to stray too far, easily accessible areas should suffice so that he could return quickly should anything arise.

Neither of them thought that the mishap wouldn’t occur on the elder’s side, but rather their own; if they had known such events would transpire, they probably wouldn’t have left the house.

"Is there anywhere you’d like to go, Linlin?" Although the decision had been made, Jing Chen wanted to consider Mu Lin’s preferences; should Mu Lin want to go somewhere...

After a brief consideration, Mu Lin looked up at him, "How about we go to the mall? I’d like to see how the malls in E Country compare with ours." She had things she wanted to buy, so now, if she had the chance, she wanted to seize the opportunity. Who knew when she would have the time again in the future?

It seemed like Mu Lin was always busy. Ever since she arrived in this world, she had something to do every day.

"Okay." Jing Chen agreed, taking Mu Lin’s hand, they left their residence and walked for a bit before stopping a taxi.

Both of them were in casual clothes, they had brought clothes to be prepared for any eventuality. They did not expect to use them now.

"Take us to the nearest large mall," Jing Chen told the driver.

The driver nodded. Seeing the appearance of Jing Chen and Mu Lin, seeing them up close was even better than watching TV stars, their looks exceeded those of any native from E Country.

They were taken to the nearest mall in about ten minutes. The crowd was incredibly large, and they recognized quite a few faces.

Upon entering the mall, Mu Lin quickly steered Jing Chen into a luxury goods store.

Jing Chen was surprised to see what Mu Lin was doing. As far as he remembered, Mu Lin didn’t like wearing luxury goods. Besides the ring he gave her, she had no other jewelry on her.

It was unexpected for him that she would suddenly want to buy these today.

Jing Chen thought, if he had known that Mu Lin liked these things, he would have prepared a gift. He always believed that apart from her interest in medical plants, Mu Lin showed no interest in anything else. Therefore, besides bringing back some unnamed herbs after a mission and the Night Pearl, he hadn’t really given her any gifts.

However, when Jing Chen thought that Mu Lin would look for her own jewelry, he was stunned when she brought him to the ring section.

"This one, show me." Mu Lin quickly found a pair of rings. They were simple and distinctive but not luxurious, it shouldn’t affect Jing Chen doing his missions or training.

"Linlin?" Jing Chen looked at Mu Lin in surprise. "Are you thinking of buying this for me?" For Jing Chen, having Mu Lin buy a ring for him was absolutely unexpected.

Mu Lin nodded, taking the male ring from the salesperson, asking, "Do you like it?"

Jing Chen nodded without hesitation. "I like it." As long as it was something from Mu Lin, even if it was the handle of a soda can, he would cherish it.

Of course, Mu Lin wouldn’t give him such a thing; a soda can handle, that would hinder his training.

Mu Lin expressed, just as Jing Chen didn’t want her to take off her ring, she also didn’t want Jing Chen to take off his. She wanted to make sure he was hers.

The ring was slowly placed on Jing Chen’s ring finger, a perfect fit, as if it was custom-made.

Mu Lin raised Jing Chen’s hand to her eyes for a closer look, her face beaming, "It looks good." She had noticed it at first glance and indeed the first sight was the best.

Mu Lin turned to the salesperson, "Can I buy this one only?" She only needed one because she already had hers.

"Yes." The salesperson nodded, looking at Mu Lin and Jing with envy; the man in front of her had been intently watching the girl ever since they entered the store.

How wonderful it would be to find a husband who loves so deeply.

They must be betrothed.

In the end, Mu Lin bought the ring, their eyes meeting as they clasped hands. Nothing and no one else existed for them at that moment.

"Let’s go." Now that she had bought what she wanted, they could go home.

"Already?" Jing Chen looked surprised, then a thought crossed his mind, the corners of his mouth raised in a dazzling grin. This sight attracted the attention of the women, from E Country, passing by. They stared at him, but, a sharp glance from Mu Lin’s cold eyes soon deterred them.

The power of Mu Lin’s intimidation was still significant.

She sneered.

No one had the right to desire her man.

However, as they got to the mall entrance, they found the entire mall had been completely...locked down.
