Chapter 808: 540 Mi Zheng’s Gift (Third Update)

Just then, "knock knock knock." the knocking sound echoed, Mu Lin lifted his gaze, and the arc of his smile concealed itself at that moment.

"It’s you." Mu Lin looked at the person before him indifferently, frowning.

"What, not happy to see me?" The other party cocked a lip, a demonically charming smile on their face, their eyes filled with thick mirth, "Don’t worry, I won’t do anything." At least today, he wouldn’t do anything.

He wouldn’t really do something like stealing a bride, especially since all the big shots were attending the wedding today. Although he wasn’t someone who feared trouble.

But for Mi Zheng, if he really wanted Mu Lin, whether Mu Lin was married or not didn’t matter at all.

What mattered was whether he wanted to or not.

The few girls in the room had different reactions upon seeing Mi Zheng.

Yue Qiao looked at him warily; she hadn’t forgotten what he said that day; to her, it didn’t seem like a joke at all.

Gong Yu looked at him with a hint of confusion; in fact, she really didn’t know how her sister came to know him; after all, the Mi Zheng she had heard about didn’t like to go out and nearly always stayed at home, keeping distant from these folks, not mixing with their families.

However, Gong Yu’s intuition told her that Mi Zheng... definitely had feelings for her sister.

It was just a pity that running water is intentional, while falling flowers are heartless; her sister could only be with her brother-in-law, so it was just unlucky that he came to know her sister too late.

Fate was predetermined; it was no one’s fault.

"Mi Zheng, are you here to give your blessings to my sister?" Gong Yu stepped forward, looking at him with a smile full of meaning. It seemed that only Gong Yu and Ya Yan welcomed Mi Zheng, two people oblivious to the situation; whereas Yue Qiao and the others, being professionally trained soldiers, were far more perceptive to danger than Ya Yan and Gong Yu.

Looking at this man, an instinctive vigilance rose unspoken in their hearts.

"Yes, I’ve come to give a gift." Saying this, Mi Zheng really did produce a small gift box, handing it to Gong Yu, "Please give this to your sister for me." He believed that she would like it.

Gong Yu reached out to take it, thanking him on behalf of Mu Lin.

Having delivered the gift, Mi Zheng didn’t look like he planned to leave; in fact, he even took a few steps forward.

"Don’t you know that a girl isn’t supposed to casually see anyone before she gets married?" Mu Lin looked at him with a light smile.

"I’ve never been married, so I wouldn’t know," replied Mi Zheng casually as he found a chair to sit on, directly across from Mu Lin, watching the latter sitting on the bed, a smile not quite a smile playing on his lips, "If the bride were you, however, I wouldn’t mind getting married."

Mi Zheng had indeed considered it; marrying Mu Lin didn’t bother him in the slightest; it was just too bad that such thoughts were merely his own, for Mu Lin’s groom would never be him.

Hearing his direct words, the girls exchanged glances; this man, he truly did have feelings for Mu Lin.

But even though they admitted he was indeed good-looking, even more beautiful than many women, including themselves, the person most suited for Mu Lin in this world was definitely Jing Chen.

This man before them carried too much instability and danger.

Mu Lin looked at him, smiling faintly, "Unfortunately, my groom is not you, and it will definitely never be you."

"Mi Zheng, you shouldn’t have forgotten our past grudges," Mu Lin’s eyes grew cold as he thought of Mu Jue, "Though you were not the instigator, none of these events would have occurred without you." They would settle this account slowly.

"Even if it wasn’t me, it would have been someone else," Mi Zheng said, "In this world, as long as you have money, you can buy any kind of person." Except for her.

"But it wasn’t anyone else, was it?" What’s done is done; speaking about it now was pointless.

"If I hadn’t done that, if I had been the first to meet you, would it have been me?" Suddenly, Mi Zheng asked such a question.

Mu Lin had a moment of slight bewilderment, and after realizing, she shook her head, "No; you are not him." That person who could stand by her side for a lifetime, could only be that person, the one she now regarded as her life itself.

"Hehehe..." Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Mi Zheng just laughed, but said nothing more, stood up, and turned to leave; however, at the door, he turned again, his eyes with a hint of a smile looking into Mu Lin’s, "I believe that everything is possible."

Having said this, before anyone could react, his figure had completely vanished.

Looking at the place where he had left through the door, Mu Lin pursed her lips and kept silent.

That smile just now.

It was the first time Mu Lin had seen such an unguarded smile from Mi Zheng—an uncomplicated, pure smile.

What exactly did he mean by his words? Or did he intend to do something? Mu Lin didn’t know and didn’t want to find out.

But she believed that at today’s wedding, he would no longer cause trouble.

"Sister, what exactly did he come here for?" Coming back to her senses, Gong Yu looked at Mu Lin, unable to understand him.

In this world, those who could really understand Mi Zheng were probably nonexistent; alive to say, only he himself.

Mu Lin quirked her lips, "I don’t know." Did he come just to reassure me?

For some reason, Mu Lin felt the rise of such a thought in her heart, which unexpectedly made her feel a touch of amusement.

How could she think that way.

However, Mu Lin was well aware that being enemies with Mi Zheng was definitely not as easy to handle as with Tang Qian; moreover, her enemy included the entire Tang Family.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Yue Qiao and the other two looked at each other in disconcert.

They felt that Mu Lin hadn’t told the truth just now; they did not understand the conversation between them, but they could tell there was a deep grudge between Mu Lin and that man.

Mu Lin must know why he was here.

But that didn’t matter, what mattered was Mu Lin.

Gong Yu approached Mu Lin and handed her a small box, "Sister, how should we deal with this?" Actually, she was very curious about its contents.

"If you’re curious, just open it and see," Mu Lin didn’t stop her, even she was somewhat curious about what he had sent.

Gong Yu nodded, opened the elegantly wrapped small box, and upon seeing the gift inside, her eyes widened in astonishment, "So beautiful." It was actually a flower, a transparent blue that gradually shifted in shade.

"Sister, why did he send you a flower?" Gong Yu was puzzled; surely he wasn’t really trying to confess his love!

"It’s not a flower." However, Mu Lin denied it; Ya Yan didn’t understand, "If it’s not a flower, then what is it?" It clearly looked like a flower.

Mu Lin: "It is the medicinal herb Glass Flower; you may also call it Glass Flower." This was what she had been searching for, the last herb needed for the Hades antidote she was formulating.

"It grows in steep cliff areas, without roots or leaves, poisonous and yet not, I searched for it for more than a decade without success." Why would Mi Zheng specially come to give her such a thing? How did he know she was searching for it?

Even Mu Lin couldn’t fully fathom Mi Zheng’s real thoughts and intentions.
