Chapter 778: Chapter 520 Untitled (Second Update)_1

A night of sound sleep.

In the early morning, when Mu Lin opened her eyes, Jing Chen was already up, gone.

"Chen?" called Mu Lin, however, after waiting for a while, she still didn’t see Jing Chen’s figure.

She yawned slightly, stretched and sat up, got out of bed. The outdoor was already bathed in bright sunlight.

Standing at the threshold, light fell on her delicate figure, making her look incredibly pure.

This was the beautiful scene Gong Yu found when she arrived in Mu Lin’s yard. Struck by it, she instinctively reached for a camera, only to realize she didn’t bring one.

What could be more frustrating?

Looking at this Mu Lin, who would have imagined the bloodiness and ferocity she’d demonstrated the previous night, showing no mercy?

She appeared to be just a pure, simple girl.

"Yuyu." Mu Lin was the one who spotted Gong Yu first. Seeing Gong Yu standing there, lost in her gaze, Mu Lin chuckled, "What are you doing standing there?" Daydreaming?

Gong Yu snapped back to reality and briskly ran towards Mu Lin, "Older sister, you’re finally awake." Calling Mu Lin "older sister" felt incredibly right and pleasing to her, she really liked calling Mu Lin sister.

For Gong Yu, having Mu Lin as her older sister seemed to be the most miraculous and joyful thing in her life. This must be what they call fate!

"Mhm." Looking at her cheerful face, Mu Lin smiled and replied, before asking, "Where’s Chen?" Why was he gone so early?

"Your husband is probably still being interrogated by grandpa and the others." Gong Yu laughed, she’d come over specifically to check, "Sister, you slept so late today. When I came over earlier, I saw your husband was already up. He said you were a little tired and wanted you to sleep in, so I didn’t wake you."

Turned out, Mu Lin had slept ’til late in the morning.

"I was indeed a bit tired." Mu Lin replied. The jungle she had gone into was far more dangerous than her Black Forest. Wild beasts lurked everywhere. Between searching for Gong Muxue and the journey back, as well as battling wild beasts, Mu Lin couldn’t have managed to find Gong Muxue so quickly without Silver’s help.

On the other hand, Mu Lin didn’t expect the recovered Gong Muxue to have such good skills. This adventure had been a blessing in disguise.

Everyone in the aristocratic family seemed to have some self-defense skills, the level of which only varied. In the current society, families like hers probably no longer exist.

After freshening up, Mu Lin headed to the hall with Gong Yu. Even before they got there, they could hear the old man’s hearty laughter, "As expected, Linlin’s judgement was spot-on." With these words, as an elder, he acknowledged the man Mu Lin chose as her husband.

"Thank you, grandpa." Jing Chen replied, a gentle smile on his face. His demeanor was stable, earning everyone’s admiration.

The old man had been impressed with Jing Chen from the very beginning, and was even more impressed with Mu Lin’s discerning eye. If Mu Lin hadn’t turned out to be his long-lost granddaughter, and if Jing Chen didn’t already marry Mu Lin and have a child on the way, even if Jing Chen was exceptional, he’d probably have had a hard time marrying Mu Lin.

The old man truly wanted to keep Mu Lin by his side for a few more years.

Jing Chen felt glad that he’d married before coming here.

When Mu Lin entered the hall, Gong Muxue, who’d been smiling at the side, quickly stood up and helped Mu Lin to sit down next to her before Jing Chen could, "Linlin, you’re awake. How did you sleep last night?"

Looking at Mu Lin with eyes filled with concern and tenderness, Gong Muxue held Mu Lin’s hand tightly, as if she could never get enough of looking at her.

Gong Yu obediently sat down next to Mu Lin, not taking her eyes off her. The way she smiled, eyes curved, was quite similar to Mu Lin.

Gong He stood next to the old man, looking at the young girl in front of him. He really couldn’t connect this pure Mu Lin with the bloody-handed person from last night.

Because she...was just too pure.

"Mother, Grandpa." Mu Lin greeted everyone, then turned to look at Gong Minglei and his wife.

It seemed that she didn’t know how to address them.

For Mu Lin, who used to be an orphan with only her master, these familial relationships were too complicated.

"You can call us uncle and aunt." Gong Muxue reminded her from the side. Mu Lin’s confused expression was adorable in everyone’s eyes. They were surprised to find this side of the renowned Poison Doctor.

"Uncle, Aunt." Mu Lin chuckled and called them.

Indeed, having too many relatives felt weird for her, and she...wasn’t used to it. But, she didn’t mind it.

Now, Mu Lin was really accustomed to everything in this world, including the modern things. After becoming pregnant, her heart had softened a lot.

Gong Minglei answered her cheerfully and stood up. He then took out a red envelope from somewhere and handed it to Mu Lin, "This is a small token from your aunt and me. Uncle is really happy that Linlin is a child of the Gong family."

With Mu Lin in the family, they no longer had to worry about the future heir of Gong family. Although she was now married, none of that really mattered.

As a member of an aristocratic family of doctors, Mu Lin’s medical skills far surpassed everyone else in the Gong family. Therefore, she was undoubtedly the best choice for the Gong Family’s inheritance.

Mu Lin accepted the red envelope, "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt." It was the first time in years she had received something like a red envelope.

In the past, Mu Jue would prepare red envelopes for Mu Lin every New Year, each containing a little money.

Since Mu Jue left, today was indeed the first time Mu Lin received a red envelope.

"I can’t believe you beat me to it." The old man looked at Gong Minglei, pretending to be upset. Mu Lin graciously accepted the two red envelopes handed over by Gong He, one from the old man, and the other from Gong He himself. The return of Mu Lin and the recovery of Gong Muxue had brought Gong He immense joy.

As for Gong Muxue, she took off a bracelet from her wrist and put it on Mu Lin, "This was given to me by your maternal grandmother. Now, I’m passing it to you. All I wish is for my Linlin to be happy and safe all her life."

She could no longer bear the thought of Mu Lin in any danger.

"Thank you, mother." Mu Lin smiled at her.

Afterwards, everyone sat around Mu Lin and asked her to share what had happened in her life, from her childhood until now, all the things they had missed. The hall was filled with laughter and chatter.

Mu Lin’s return had revived the Gong family. The gloom that once clouded the family was completely absent now.
