Chapter 198 - 189: Girl, Give Grandpa a Smile
Half an hour later, Lin Mu came out of the bathroom dressed, just as Zhou Xun returned from buying groceries.
After not seeing Lin Mu for a few days, she surprisingly missed this guy a lot. Although this rascal was usually lecherous and liked to take advantage of others, somehow, after not seeing him for a few days, she still missed him dearly.
"Brother Lin, you’re back."
Lin Mu nodded, "Yeah, hehe, did you miss me while I was gone?"
"Hehe, not at all." Zhou Xun replied with a playful smile.
"Huh? How dare you say you didn’t miss me. Watch how I deal with you!"
Lin Mu said, reaching out with a pair of mischievous hands aiming at Zhou Xun’s chest.
Zhou Xun exaggeratedly screamed and dodged, "Brother Lin, you’re so bad, always bullying others!"
"Haha, this is the consequence of not missing me. Let’s see if you dare not miss me again."
Lin Mu said it like a wolf seeing a little lamb, extending a big paw and pouncing again.
Zhou Xun screamed and fell back, conveniently landing on the sofa. Seeing this, Lin Mu pounced like a hungry tiger, grabbed the poor Miss Zhou’s delicate hand as if he’d caught prey!
His gaze wickedly fixed on Zhou Xun’s heaving chest, "Hehe, girl, give your Lordship a smile, and I’ll spare you. Otherwise, well, you know the consequences..."
Zhou Xun exaggeratedly forced a tiny smile, looking pitiful, "Hehe, the girl already smiled for you, Lordship, please spare this little lady!"
"Hehe, now do you like me or not?" Lin Mu took the opportunity to ask.
"I like, I like." Zhou Xun repeated quickly.
"Hehe, that’s more like it, I’ll let you go." Lin Mu chuckled and climbed off Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun patted her chest, "Brother Lin, you’re so bad, you’re forcing good people to become indecent!"
Thinking it over, she felt something was off and corrected herself, "Oh, no, you’re coercing a decent girl..."
"Hehe, bad men get all the love!"
"Hmph, not an ounce of propriety!"
Zhou Xun waved her hand and then started handling the groceries she bought, as Lin Mu knew, the virtuous Miss Zhou would start preparing a sumptuous dinner.
"What have you been busy with these past few days?" Lin Mu asked.
"Boss Ren of that skincare brand and Director Zhang Yimou have already chosen a new company site in Wancheng. The company is opening in a few days, and they specifically chose me as the company’s image ambassador, signing a five-year contract. Hehe, this is really beneficial for my future career!"
Zhou Xun seemed very happy, which was also why she was playful with Lin Mu as soon as she came home.
Lin Mu glanced at Zhou Xun. She still didn’t know that Boss Ren was actually her biological grandfather. Of course, Lin Mu wasn’t going to tell. Zhou Xun’s life had just stabilized; there was no need to tell her so much yet. When her career has somewhat succeeded, it wouldn’t be too late for her to know!
"Hehe, such a great opportunity, you must seize it well, chances like this don’t come around twice! When you become a big star, my company will also invite you to endorse it! Hmm, that Boss Ren is really nice, try to chat with him more often, deepen the friendship. It’ll be good for your future too!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
"Yeah, I know, I also feel Boss Ren is a good person, not like those rich people lusting after beauty. I can feel it—Boss Ren genuinely wants to help me and doesn’t want anything in return. Hehe, sometimes I feel he’s like a grandfather caring for his granddaughter, maybe in the future when I’m more familiar with Boss Ren, I might just consider him my grandpa. I wonder if he’d agree?" Zhou Xun said with a pout, full of anticipation.
"Hehe, don’t worry. Boss Ren is such a good person, and you’re so lovable, there’ll definitely be no problem!"
Lin Mu thought it was wonderful that Zhou Xun had such an idea because, in her heart, she had already started to accept Boss Ren as her grandfather.
Over these years, thinking about how Zhou Xun had lived alone, it truly wasn’t easy, handling everything by herself.
The hardships and pain she’s been through can’t be expressed in words, impossible to describe!
Suddenly, Lin Mu felt a twinge of heartache for Zhou Xun.
