Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Second Brother’s Romance 5

Mu Boyan sat on the sofa, his long fingers pressing against his brow.

Tsk, his head was starting to ache.

Mrs. Xu Wanqing was exceptionally enthusiastic and attentive—he was a bit worried that Lin Chu, despite being an actor, might not be up to the task.

Before going to sleep, he sent Lin Chu a message.

"I mothers want to visit you tomorrow, but don’t be too nervous, just accept whatever she gives you."

At that moment, Lin Chu, who was lying in bed with a face mask on, was so shocked that she dropped her phone right onto her face.

"Owwwww! That hurt like hell!" The blow made tears spring from Lin Chu’s eyes.

Shan thought she had taken another tumble and rushed out from the guest room, "What’s wrong? What happened?"

Lin Chu sniffled, "My phone hit my nose, it hurts so bad."

Shan let out a sigh of relief, "No biggie, you’re not scheduled for anything anyway."

Lin Chu: "... Are you even human? How could I have an assistant like you?"

Shan scratched her head, "Maybe we’re just a natural pair. But did your phone fall on your face because you fell asleep?"

"Ha! A true pair indeed, you’re the pig teammate!" Lin Chu peeled off the face mask and handed it to Shan, "Doctor Mu’s mother is coming to see me tomorrow."

"Wowser!" The face mask fell from Shan’s hand onto the floor.

Lin Chu: "..."

Shan quickly picked it up and wiped the now wet floor with a tissue.

After cleaning up, she sat on the edge of the bed. "So, what’s the plan?"

Lin Chu burst out laughing, "What’s the plan? Your Northeastern accent really..."

Shan hee-hee-heed, "Makes things lively?"

"No, it brings joy."

Shan patted her modest chest, "As long as that’s settled, what have you decided to do tomorrow?"

"As long as you don’t hold me back, I ought to muddle through just fine."

Shan: "... That stings."

Despite what Lin Chu said, she actually felt a bit nervous inside.

She kept telling herself to stay calm, stay calm...

The next morning, waking up, she rubbed her messy hair and slowly sat up.

"Shan, hey Shan..."

Shan ran in to check on her, "Whoa, Sister Chuchu, did you stay up late last night?"

"No, why do you ask?"

"You’ve got panda eyes to rival national treasures."

Lin Chu’s eyes widened suddenly, "Quick, help me get out of bed."

While Shan supported her into the restroom, Lin Chu’s mouth twitched uncontrollably when she saw her reflection in the mirror. "What happened? Get the eye mask, quick!"

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Hurry, hurry, could that be Doctor Mu’s mother? Go open the door."

Shan said, "It’s so early, it’s probably not. Maybe it’s Doctor Mu delivering breakfast."

"I don’t want to see him right now, you go get rid of him," Lin Chu pushed her out.

Staring at her haggard reflection in the mirror, Lin Chu clicked her tongue. "She’s not even my real mother-in-law, why the heck am I so nervous?"

But in less than two seconds, she started sniffling, "Still, I’m a little nervous!"

After a while, the sound of footsteps approached.

Shan opened the door. "Doctor Mu left. He brought us waffles, fried eggs, and milk. Sister Chuchu, what’s wrong with you?"

Lin Chu, naturally unable to admit she was nervous, smiled weakly, "I’m so hungry I could cry."

Supporting her towards the dining room, Shan said, "Let’s go have breakfast, then."

Lin Chu was surprised at Mu Boyan’s culinary skills. "Doctor Mu’s cooking is really good."

With her cheeks full, Shan said, "Then just go ahead and marry him. Then you can eat his cooking every day. Besides, he’s from the Mu Family, you know. He’s the last bachelor left there. A true catch. Although he’s a doctor, not a corporate tycoon, but how could someone from the Mu Family ever be poor, right?"

Lin Chu waved it off, "I’m not marrying for money, I want a man who loves and cares for me. I believe my Joker will eventually come for me on his magic cloud."

Shan sighed, "But what if the Joker arrives after the Zixia Fairy is gone?"

Lin Chu: "... I don’t want to talk to you anymore."

I’m chatting to death here!

Mu Boyan, between patient visits, sent a WeChat message.

"He said, Mom’s about to arrive, so don’t be too nervous."

Lin Chu’s heart raced when she received the message. "Shan, go wash some fruit quickly."

After cleaning up the house, Shan immediately went to wash the fruit.

Meanwhile, the doorbell rang.

Shan, having arranged the fruit platter, went to open the door.

Upon seeing a woman in sportswear standing at the door, and after having seen Xu Wanqing’s photo, Shan greeted her with great respect, "Good day, Mrs. Mu!"

Xu Wanqing was very amiable, "Hello, is Miss Lin at home?"

"Yes, yes, please come in," Shan said, taking the gift box from Xu Wanqing’s hand.

Xu Wanqing nodded slightly, "Thank you."

She walked inside and saw Lin Chu standing in front of the sofa, "Auntie, hello."

Xu Wanqing observed the girl before her, with willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a high nose bridge, and small lips, having particularly exotic charm.

Three words, absolutely beautiful.

She walked over and took Lin Chu’s hand, "Let’s sit down and talk."

"Yes."

They sat on the sofa, and Lin Chu offered to peel an apple for her.

Xu Wanqing smiled, "Hold on a second."

She asked Shan where the bathroom was and went in to wash her hands before coming back.

Taking the apple and the fruit knife from Lin Chu’s hand, she said, "Let me peel it for you."

"I heard from Boyan that you were injured."

"Yes, I have a tailbone fracture, but it should heal just fine with bed rest."

"That’s a minor issue, it won’t affect having babies in the future."

"..."

Xu Wanqing peeled a piece of apple and handed it to Lin Chu.

Lin Chu didn’t expect Xu Wanqing to be so direct, and she nibbled on the apple with a smile.

Xu Wanqing laughed, "Lin Chu, don’t be nervous, I’ve just come to see you. Actually, I know that your relationship with Boyan isn’t real."

Lin Chu blinked in surprise; she hadn’t even had the chance to pretend when Mrs. Mu already knew the truth.

Xu Wanqing sighed lightly, "My Boyan is good in every way, but he is especially dull in matters of the heart. He’s been on countless blind dates, over a hundred, but none ever led to a second date. Now that he’s pretending with you, it shows he doesn’t dislike you. I hope you two can turn this act into reality."

Lin Chu was shocked once again.

Xu Wanqing saw her so surprised she could fit an egg in her mouth and laughed even more joyously, "I’m hoping you will bestow your mercy and take in this perennially single hound of mine."

Shan, watching Lin Chu’s stunned expression, really wanted to nod on her behalf; she was almost dying of anxiety.

Let’s just get married right here, right now!

Xu Wanqing put the apple and fruit knife on the platter, holding Lin Chu’s hand, "Our family likes you a lot, so have a think about it. Boyan is tall, rich, and handsome, even a bit dull, but that could be cultivated."

Lin Chu was a little hesitant, "Auntie, I’m afraid I will disappoint you. Doctor Mu is really great, but love isn’t something you can achieve with just one person. If he has no feelings for me, I can’t force it."

Xu Wanqing smiled lightly, "Don’t worry, I know my son. If he can pretend to be in a relationship with you, then you can develop it into a real one, just catch his heartstrings."

After Xu Wanqing left, Lin Chu started eating grapes, contemplating with each one.

"To flirt?"

"Or not to flirt?"

"To flirt?"

"Or not to flirt?"

...

Shan thought she was possessed, "Sister Chuchu, are you okay?"

"I’m fine."

"What are you doing then?"

"I’m eating grapes, deciding whether to flirt with Doctor Mu or not."

Shan’s eyes sparkled, "So, will you flirt or not?"

Chewing on a grape, with a hint of irritation in her eyes, Lin Chu replied, "Because you interrupted me, I’ve forgotten where I counted up to."
