She pulled Liu Er Bao to sit in front of the mirror, "Sit still, today I'm going to make you stunning."
She smiled at the unfamiliar girl in the makeup mirror, and blushed at the girl's face in the mirror.
The celebrity cocktail party was arranged at the five-star Bonah hotel in the downtown area.
Compared to the previous parties attended by Lin Muyan, this time is more business-oriented, and everyone's goal is very unified, which is to make alliances. So, regardless of gender, everyone pays great attention to their attire. Wen Zimo casually leans against the window, casually surveying the people in the party hall with their intertwined arc lights.
If it weren't for his father giving him this title, he would never have set foot in a place like this. He sneered and looked at the darkening sky outside the window. It's almost starting. Liu Er Bao wouldn't flee at the last minute, would he? Is he really going to retreat when the going gets tough?
In front of the hotel, a wine red Lamborghini suddenly appeared. The charming woman in the driver's seat had red hair, and she smiled and said a few words to the woman beside her before waving her hand to help her out of the car.
The woman who got out of the car was wearing a light creamy silk long skirt with a sexy slit on her calf, which was subtly revealed as she walked. She had a white fur draped over her shoulders, handed to her by the woman in the car. Her hair was pinned up with pearls, making it difficult to tell whether it was long or short.
Her cheeks are slightly round, with a pair of big eyes curved with a smile, different from her graceful posture like an oil painting, it is the kind of charming and cute unique to a young girl.
Contradictory yet intertwined, as if she was born to be so charming.
Wen Zimo couldn't wait. He didn't plan to come to this kind of occasion in the first place. If it weren't for his old man forcing him... he would have just shown his face and left.
Smiling insincerely, Wen Zimo turned down several obviously interested socialites, feeling a bit depressed. He used to be a master of romance in the midst of many admirers, so why has he been so disinterested lately?
A girl at the door, holding up her skirt, curiously looked inside. She was facing Wen Zimo, and her graceful figure instantly caught his attention. Just as he was about to approach her, he saw someone else had already stepped forward to strike up a conversation.
The girl seemed a little startled, shaking her hand to refuse, and Wen Zimo smiled and took a few steps forward.
"Can't you see she doesn't want to talk to you? Go away."
He took on the posture of a hero saving the beauty, chased away the troublemakers, and put on his proudest gentle expression, then turned to look at the girl.
"Miss, please allow me to introduce myself, Wen Zimo, Penglai—"
"This party was so hard to find. I had to ask a few people even after checking the location," the girl interrupted, frowning as if she was uncomfortable in her high heels, bending down several times to rub her ankles.
Seeing Wen Zimo staring at her, she smiled, and her cute little tiger teeth made her sweetness even more crazy.
"Hey, don't you recognize me?"
Wen Zimo took a while to find his voice, and he couldn't believe his eyes as he circled around Liu Er Bao.
"How did you end up like this?"
Liu Er Bao lowered his head and looked at himself. "I look pretty good, what's the problem?"
"Ugly is ugly, no matter how you dress up," Wen Zimo suddenly shouted unhappily, then grabbed Liu Er Bao and went out to play.
Liu Er Bao stumbled and shook him off, and his ankle seemed to hurt even more.
"What are you doing? We're supposed to be attending a cocktail party, and I'm not even late. What's your problem?" She bowed, and the wrinkles on her chest became more pronounced. Wen Zimo's expression darkened, "I don't like you wearing this outfit, it's embarrassing."
Liu Er Bao was annoyed, "Am I embarrassing myself? Or are you embarrassing yourself? Just now you were flirting with me like a playboy!"
Wen Zimo blushed, "I-I mistook you for someone else, what's the problem?"
Normally Liu Er Bao was the one being scolded, but suddenly he became eloquent, and Wen Zimo couldn't handle it.
He just wanted to embarrass her and make her back off, how did it develop to this point?
"Oh, my mistake, then you can leave. I just got here, at least have a drink before you go."
Liu Er Bao ignored him, snorted, and walked back. The few men, seeing that their conversation seemed to have fallen apart, turned back and walked towards Liu Er Bao.
Wen Zimo hesitated for a second, then chased out in frustration.
...
Lin Muyan sent Liu Er Bao off very handsomely, turned the corner, and returned to Wufu Hua City.
A car drove into the underground garage, and Xiao Chen had been waiting for a long time. "Here's your car. Today's pay is enough for Er Bao to have a smooth journey," said Lin Muyan. Seeing Xiao Chen not moving, Lin Muyan had to take a few more steps and put the car keys next to him.
Intending to turn around, she was suddenly pulled by the waist and fell into Xiao Chen's arms. She was stunned for a moment, then started to push him. But no matter how hard she pushed, he remained unmoved.
Xiao Chen lowered his gaze, looking at her with a lot of hurt. Suddenly, Lin Muyan seemed to lose her strength. "Had enough of hugging?" she asked, suppressing her anger. "No," feeling the little woman in his arms starting to struggle again, Xiao Chen sighed, "Promise me you won't leave right away, and I'll let go of you."
Lin Muyan nodded vigorously.
Xiao Chen let go, and she immediately stepped back, looking at him coldly.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you."
He knows that Lin Muyan is still angry about Liu Er Bao being bullied by Wen Zimo at Penglai Technology and keeping it a secret. "Hmph, who knows if you did it on purpose," Lin Muyan snorted coldly. In fact, she was initially quite angry at Xiao Chen for keeping it a secret, especially when her good friend was bullied so badly.
But after talking to Liu Er Bao, she had already calmed down. It's just that when Xiao Chen brings it up, she always has to put on a show. "I'm sorry, I dare not," Xiao Chen said. Seeing that she didn't leave, he took a bold step closer and, seeing that Lin Muyan didn't resist, reached out to hug her, only to be rebuffed by Lin Muyan's glare, feeling wronged, he took a step back.
"No next time."
While Xiao Chen nodded vigorously, Lin Muyan smiled openly.
"It's so late, are you going back?"
After finally having the chance to be alone with Lin Muyan, Xiao Chen was reluctant to let her go so easily. He racked his brains, wanting to find a topic to keep her around. Lin Muyan saw through his intentions but didn't expose them, chatting with him for a few moments before glancing at the time. "I can go back now."
Xiao Chen Just as I was about to feel down, I suddenly perked up and said, "Do you want to accompany me to a place?"
Forty minutes later.
Lin Muyan Stared in astonishment at the villa in front of them.
A two-story townhouse with a garden-style design. Even though it's already night, the scattered lights here make it seem as bright as day, making people linger as if in a paradise. "It's like a secluded paradise," Lin Muyan sighed softly.
Xiao Chen smiled, "Do you like it?"
"Yeah, is this your house?" Lin Muyan nodded, her fingers playing with the firefly jar tied to the tree branch.
At this time of year, they could still capture the light of fireflies.
"From today on, it's yours."
Lin Muyan's palm suddenly received a bunch of keys, the icy touch feeling especially chilling on this cold night. She was stunned for a moment before she thought to refuse, but Xiao Chen pressed the keys directly and didn't let go.
"Mumu, I've thought for a long time, and I still can't forget you. Can we start over? This time, no matter what happens, I promise not to deceive you in the slightest."
"This villa was bought by Xiao Chen some time ago. Except for the garden outside, the inside is still the most primitive bare house."
"He thought that if Lin Muyan was willing to start over with him, he would plan the decoration here with her."
If she ultimately refuses, he will still hand over the key to her, considering it as the last thing he can do for her.
Xiao Chen can't imagine living in a world without Lin Muyan.
Unknowingly, his love has become bottomless.
"Mumu, I think of you every moment."
He looked at Lin Muyan affectionately, just like the "poor apprentice" who was full of her in the beginning.
His feelings for her have never changed.
Lin Muyan She gazed at him blankly, opened her mouth, and then didn't know what to say. In fact, she had forgiven him a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't have followed him here. But asking her to promise, she was always conflicted about the mutual deception between them.
"I--"
She hesitated, wavered, and occasionally glanced at Xiao Chen, as if she wasn't fully prepared yet.
Xiao Chen just waited quietly for her answer, as if awaiting the final judgment.
"I miss you too."
Lin Muyan fell silent for a while, then smiled.
She followed her heart, "Xiao Chen, Let's start over.."
Her lips curved up with a beautiful arc, and fireworks suddenly burst in her light-colored eyes, reflecting the approaching face of Xiao Chen. When his kiss landed, Lin Muyan felt a shiver run through her body, almost collapsing into his arms. It was the embrace and kiss she had longed for many days.
In the bare room, there was only a simple bed and a washbasin. Lin Muyan never imagined that one day she would be wrapped in a blanket, confessing her feelings to the person she liked in such a simple environment.
As the first rays of sunlight lit up the sky, Lin Muyan shrank her neck from the cold and completely hid herself under the blanket. The man beside her was awakened by her movement and naturally hugged her, the warmth of their skin touching dispelling the chill in the room.
Lin Muyan leaned against Xiao Chen, and it seemed that the man had fallen asleep again, his restless eyelashes trembling slightly. She found it amusing and slowly brought her palm closer, the slightly curled long eyelashes brushing against the center of her palm, tickling her and making her want to laugh out loud. Suddenly, her wrist was pulled under the blanket, Lin Muyan was brought forward, and she was stolen a kiss, a quick peck, followed by a smile, and then another peck.
Xiao Chen didn't sleep at all. His dark eyes met Lin Muyan's rosy face and he said, "I regret it. I should have taken you to a nearby hotel last night." He tenderly touched Lin Muyan's red ears, which were frozen. "It's okay, not as cold as I thought."
Lin Muyan smiled with a good mood.
Reluctantly, she crawled out from under the covers and blushed as she got dressed in front of Xiao Chen.
She still wasn't used to changing clothes in front of others, even though the other person had seen it many times before.
"I'm going to buy breakfast," she said as she went to look for her bag.
Xiao Chen pulled the blanket and stood up, "Let's go together."
They had finally reconciled, and he just wanted to be with her every moment.
Lin Muyan couldn't resist him. When Xiao Chen was changing clothes, she subconsciously glanced at his lower body and blushed again.
The villa is located in the suburbs. Lin Muyan was enjoying the air conditioning in the car, watching the scenery fly by the window. A sense of laziness arose in her, causing her to unconsciously stretch.
Xiao Chen took her to a five-star hotel in the city, where they had a special breakfast.
Chinese or Western, take your pick, everything is available.
Lin Muyan picked a few items, returned to the table, and Xiao Chen across from her was smiling elegantly, as if not eating, but enjoying a ballet performance.
"Their shrimp dumplings are good."
Lin Muyan Took a bite, the tender shrimp filled the mouth, and the fragrant flavor stimulated the taste buds. Truly worthy of a five-star chef.
Xiao Chen Pouted, "His cooking is just average. Next time, try what I make. It's much tastier than his."
He spoke with great seriousness, and Lin Muyan sneered, "Why are you jealous of everyone?"
"As long as it's related to you, I'm jealous." Xiao Chen wiped the sauce from the corner of her lips, lightly placed it to her own lips, and his eyes seemed to devour Lin Muyan across from him.
Being stared at with such intense desire by him, Lin Muyan couldn't help but think of the passion from last night, blushing and using a bun to cover Xiao Chen's face.
After having breakfast, Lin Muyan checked her schedule and found that all the important tasks were arranged for next week. She then sent a text to her assistant, asking him to handle the meetings himself.
"Go buy some dye, the color in the room looks terrible."
Thinking about the place where she slept last night, Lin Muyan felt that she was not acting normally when she was seduced by the beauty, as she actually agreed to spend the night in an unfinished room.
"Do you want Rose pink?" In the material market, Xiao Chen asked Lin Muyan seriously, even though she was the more knowledgeable designer. "All according to my ideas?" Lin Muyan thought he would say something like a designer's rhetoric, but when they got to the material market, Xiao Chen just followed her ideas, no matter what they were.
As a result of following the instructions, when the two returned, they were both carrying a lot of things. The luxury car was completely used as a handcart. They haphazardly put down the purchased materials, and Xiao Chen helped Lin Muyan massage her sore shoulders.
"Here, we need baby blue and soft mist pink to be brushed on."
Lin Muyan directed the tall Xiao Chen to take charge of the wall on the shed's ceiling, while she herself stood on the side with a brush, carefully selecting the colors.
Having seen some reference materials, she quickly got the hang of it, and with a few pointers from Xiao Chen, she was already able to mix quite a few colors she wanted.
"This place is beyond me." Lin Muyan had just finished coloring and saw Xiao Chen coming over, pouting with a pitiful expression, making her unable to resist reaching out to touch his hair.
Her fingers were still stained with dye, and she forgot about it for now, resulting in accidentally pulling off Xiao Chen's hair, which looked like it was intentionally dyed that way, leaving behind a blue streak.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, go wash it quickly or it won't come out."
Lin Muyan covered her mouth, but the smile on her face couldn't be hidden. Xiao Chen was left speechless by her antics, so he went to the bathroom to wash up with his messy hair. A few minutes later, he came out shivering, with a half-wet towel wrapped around his head.
