Liu Er Bao held his own luggage, following Lin Muyan closely as they walked through the long corridor of the Lin family's residence, surrounded by a profusion of sights. Although they were indoors, it felt as if they were strolling through a garden. Suddenly, Liu Er Bao stumbled and accidentally stepped on Lin Muyan's shoe.
"Ah, Sister Yan, I'm sorry," she touched her nose. "You've already stepped on it, why are you apologizing to me?" Lin Muyan saw her feeling uncomfortable and pulled Liu Er Bao towards herself. "This is my home, my home is your home. Relax and don't be afraid."
Liu Er Bao quietly glanced at her and nodded.
Wen Zimo escorted them into the Lin family's house and then left. Liu Er Bao had a feeling like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden. He wanted to look but didn't dare to look too much. He could only suppress the excitement and not let the "wow" hang on his lips.
Turning around the corridor, the half-closed grand door was slowly pushed open, and the magnificent living room was instantly exposed in front of Liu Er Bao who was not yet prepared.
Her mouth is so big that it can fit a whole egg, and she stands there dumbfounded, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
"Yan, Sister Yan, what's the background of your family? Are you the richest in Weicheng? Look at the chandeliers in your house, they are all finely carved with diamonds!"
Lin Muyan shook her head speechlessly. Who has chandeliers carved with diamonds in their house? How would they even provide illumination?
"If you like it, I'll give you one as a gift."
She remembered that there was a replacement chandelier in her own warehouse.
Liu Er Bao still had his mouth open, slowly turned to her and asked, "Are you serious?"
Lin Muyan smiled and said, "You're my friend, what's the problem with me giving you a gift?"
Liu Er Bao silently thought about the 1600 yuan she had just spent on renting a one-bedroom apartment, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She was immersed in her own "sorrow" of being a true poor person when she suddenly heard Lin Muyan shout "grandpa." She looked up abruptly and was dumbfounded once again.
Old Master Lin smiled kindly at her, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes slightly crowding as he did so, but not showing signs of aging. Instead, he exuded an elegant temperament, even revealing a hint of his youthful charm, as Liu Er Bao would put it, if it weren't for his silver hair, she would have thought Grandfather Lin was not even fifty. "Hello, Grandpa."
She hesitated before speaking, but with Lin Muyan's encouragement, she slowly emerged from behind her and, with a silly smile, spoke from her heart, "Sister Yan, your grandpa is so handsome." She stared at Old Master Lin like a little infatuated girl, making Old Master Lin burst into laughter. "Hello," Old Master Lin said in a very good mood, looking at his granddaughter. "You, this girl, never like to interact with others. I thought you would never find a friend in your life. I didn't expect that you would make such a lovely friend."
Being praised by Old Master Lin, Liu Er Bao felt a bit embarrassed and scratched the back of his head.
"Come in, have you eaten yet? What would you like to eat? I'll have the chef cook for you."
It was just after seven o'clock, Lin Muyan looked at Liu Er Bao who was touching his stomach, feeling a bit embarrassed and then chuckled. She had originally wanted to say she wasn't hungry, but swallowed her words back.
"Then let's have some barbecued pork buns. What would you like, Er Bao?"
"Anything is fine for me," Liu Er Bao replied readily.
Lin Muyan ordered several items in a row, and Linbo made a note of each one before going to consult with the head chef in the kitchen.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Liu Er Bao has already struck up a conversation with Old Master Lin, and the two of them hit it off right away. Liu Er Bao is straightforward and loves to joke around, and a few of his jokes have really cheered up Old Master Lin. Lin Muyan is also happy to see them having a good time, suppressing her emotions towards a certain person and sitting quietly on the side, listening to their conversation.
Just as the conversation was getting lively, Old Master Lin suddenly remembered something he hadn't mentioned. His smiling face turned serious, and his imposing manner immediately took over. Liu Er Bao was still smiling, but the sudden change in the old master's expression made his face turn pale, and he blinked in confusion, thinking he had said something to upset the old master. "Grandpa, I..."
"Lin Muyan! Where did you go last night? You didn't even call home!"
The words of Old Master Lin made Liu Er Bao feel conflicted. Seeing Linbo shaking his head beside her, she obediently sat still.
On the other hand, the nominated Lin Muyan didn't react much. She glanced at her grandfather and said, "I went out to play."
Her calm tone was as if she was talking about the weather, but Liu Er Bao beside her hung his head guiltily.
"You went out to play without informing the family? Do you know how worried I was? The hotel staff called to say that you went out late at night and didn't come back..."
Lin Muyan's originally calm expression showed a hint of crack, she frowned, "Grandfather, why did the hotel staff call you?"
Old Master Lin Obviously a cliche, "Don't change the subject, we're talking about you not coming home last night!"
"Hotel, you didn't release the person too, did you?"
Lin Muyan looks unwell.
She knew that her grandfather had always doted on her, and because of this, sometimes this indulgence would go too far. But the thought of her grandfather actually sending someone to follow her made it impossible for her to remain calm.
"I-I'm just worried about you. Everyone at home has everything prepared for you, but you insist on staying at a hotel."
Old Master Lin grumbled like a child, and was glared at by his granddaughter. He then sighed in grievance, "Is it wrong for a grandfather to worry about his granddaughter, Er Bao? Tell me, can a granddaughter be so disrespectful to her grandfather?"
Liu Er Bao Suddenly being called out, feeling awkward and not knowing what to do.
Lin Muyan Coldly chuckled, "Grandfather, there's no need to use Er Bao as a shield. If you send someone to follow me again, I'll move everything out right now."
Old Master Lin It's not necessary to have someone follow his granddaughter. Seeing her being so stubborn, he had no choice but to surrender.
after all Lin Muyan When he was alone abroad, he did send someone to secretly follow her, but this girl seemed calm and composed, and there was not a single flaw in her actions.
"What were you doing out so late? You left at eleven, you have to explain this," Old Master Lin asked with diminished momentum, sighing.
Lin Muyan's parents left their child with an elderly person. If he doesn't take care of the child, how can it be okay?
"I'm an adult now, Grandpa. Where I go is my freedom."
Lin Muyan didn't seem to want to answer, but Liu Er Bao on the side sensed the tension and quickly interjected, "We went to the ancient town. Actually, Grandpa, you don't need to worry too much. She went with Xiao Chen, and later the four of us were together."
Liu Er Bao vividly illustrates the concept of "the more you describe, the darker it gets." Especially when Xiao Chen's name is mentioned alongside four other people, the old man's eyes widen. "Who is Xiao Chen?" he asks curiously.
"Xiao Chen is..."
"Liu Er Bao feels like crying without tears. It seems like she's only making things worse by trying to help. What should she do?"
"Among the four of you, besides you and someone named Xiao Chen, who else is there? Is it a man or a woman?"
Lin Muyan raised her eyelids and said, "A man, Er Bao, is my future partner."
"Wow!"
Under the gaze of Old Master Lin, Liu Er Bao felt his face burning and his head almost drooping to his belly.
"Na Na and Xiao Chen......"
Old Master Lin persistently questioned, he was really curious, to make two girls keep silent, this Xiao Chen must have a problem.
Unable to find a breakthrough from his granddaughter, he turned to Liu Er Bao with a smile.
It's clearly a kind and gentle face, but in the eyes of Liu Er Bao, it's like a death sentence. When she closed her eyes, she said, "Grandfather Lin, I can't say, so please don't ask me." Old Master Lin's curiosity was thoroughly piqued.
Just in time, Linbo reminded that the table was set up properly, which briefly saved the two of them.
"Have you heard the name Xiao Chen?"
Old Master Lin quietly asked the butler while the two children were busy eating.
Linbo shook his head, and Old Master Lin raised an eyebrow. At the dining table, Liu Er Bao stuffed a small bun into his mouth, "Your grandfather is really persistent," she sighed.
Lin Muyan nodded helplessly. She had been unwilling to stay at home before, and this was partly the reason why. The television had been turned on at some point, and Old Master Lin absentmindedly flipped through the channels, feeling a bit frustrated that he couldn't ask who Xiao Chen was. He quickly changed the channels, and after a few rapid flashes of different scenes, a piece of news caught Old Master Lin's attention.
He watched the neighboring country's earthquake news scrolling on TV for a while, feeling shocked, and was about to change the channel when suddenly he heard a name on the TV screen.
"Next, let's welcome the backstage designer Leo for this Fashion Week!"
The enthusiastic applause echoed along with the crowd at the scene. A man walked slowly from the backstage, his tall figure accentuated by the white tailcoat he was wearing. With a casual glance, he immediately silenced the audience. Xiao Chen took a few steps forward, ignoring the host's obvious flirtatious gaze, and took the microphone handed to him by a staff member.
"Hello everyone, I'm Leo, and I'm also the person in charge of this Fashion Week."
This is Leo's first time standing in front of the stage, and the reporters crowded to the front row, pointing their flashlights at his handsome face that was no less popular than a hot chicken.
This is definitely going to be the most explosive news, no doubt about it.
"Today, the reason I chose to stand here is because I have something to say to someone."
He held the microphone, searching for the most prominent camera, and then looked steadily at the camera, as if gazing through transparent glass at the person he wanted to speak to.
"I'm sorry Mumu."
He suddenly bowed to the camera, very sincerely at a ninety-degree angle, holding it for ten seconds before slowly rising, facing the camera. Despite the smile at the corner of his mouth, there was an unmistakable bitterness in his expression. "I'm sorry," he said, "I lied to you before. I was afraid that my identity as Leo would scare you, so I could only approach you as Xiao Chen. I did have ulterior motives from the beginning. You may not believe it, but I really fell in love with you at first sight."
"The identity of Leo represents a lot, and it's beyond my control. The more we got along, the more I dared not be honest with you. I know you must be very sad and upset about my concealment from you. My silence at the time must have broken your heart."
He let out a soft sigh, "But other than that, I have never hidden anything from you. I am serious, always have been."
