Chapter 1562: Chapter 1577: Lin Mu’s Other Identity

"Come on, you’re no macho man; you’re just a snot-nosed brat and a little sissy. You’re all talk..."

Sophie knelt on the bed, grabbed his ear and pulled and twisted it. But unfortunately, Lin Mu’s skin was so tough that even the head coach of the Devil’s training camp at the Kunlun Mountain Hunter Base had marveled at it! Sophie’s little strength could at best scratch his itch. Yet, to humor her, he still whimpered and pretended to cry out in pain. The sounds they made could easily be mistaken for the kind that adults make when they’re being intimate!

They were at a standstill for a while, and Sophie was starting to sweat a bit. Seeing that she couldn’t handle this troublesome guy, she sat down angrily, undid the top button of her shirt, and fanned herself with her hand, snarking, "Come on, tell me, what will it take for you to go back with me?"

"Hey, don’t say it like that. You’re making it seem like I’m trying to extort you." Lin Mu sat up in one quick motion, completely ignoring Sophie’s disdainful expression, rubbed his hands together, and laughed slyly, "Can I really name my conditions?"

"You can, as long as it’s not too much. I can consider it." Sophie glanced at her wristwatch and inwardly chuckled coldly: Let him revel for a bit first, but when this is all over, see how I’ll deal with him!

"Not too much, definitely not too much."

Lin Mu swallowed nervously, his eyes gleaming. Perhaps because he would be attending a signing, Sophie was dressed exceedingly well today; her beautiful face was dazzling, accompanied by a charming smile that could ensnare nations. With a touch of makeup, her lips were painted a captivating pink, and she wore a tailored, high-end suit skirt — dignified yet seductive.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Sophie felt awkward being stared at and couldn’t help but feel a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, the guy sheepishly approached, "Uh, remember what you promised me a few days ago? Actually, my request is quite simple; you just need to fulfill that promise."

"What did I promise you?" Sophie furrowed her brow in confusion.

"Well, that... you know..." Lin Mu winked and grinned mischieviously, fearing the lady CEO might have forgotten. He even mimicced a baby’s mannerism and puckered his lips.

Sophie’s face suddenly turned as red as a ripe autumn apple!

At the banquet the other day, Su’s Great Enterprise was on the brink, with bad news continually coming in, almost forcing it into a desperate situation. Finally encountering Robert as a lifeline, Sophie naturally wanted to hold on tight. Under such circumstances, even if Lin Mu had made more outrageous demands, she would have agreed without hesitation because, as an anxious beauty CEO, she hadn’t even considered the issue of fulfilling promises. Now that Lin Mu was bringing it up, she suddenly found herself in a tough spot.

"Hey, you’re not thinking of reneging, are you?"

"Uh." Sophie’s expression suddenly changed to somewhat unnatural. Truth be told, she was indeed considering it, but given the guy’s obstinate temper, if she refused, he would surely just lie down and nap. If he didn’t attend the signing ceremony, Robert might be displeased, and the collaboration could be jeopardized...

"Why would I? I’m not the type to break my word." After thinking it over, the beauty CEO decided to play for time. "It’s just that fulfilling the promise now seems a bit inappropriate, doesn’t it?"

"Huh?"

"Don’t just ’huh’." Sophie held up her watch to his face and said, "Look, there’s just one hour until ten o’clock. It takes 10 minutes to get up and get ready, and another 30 minutes to get to the company and prepare. Fulfilling the promise now, don’t you think the timing is a bit rushed?"

"Actually, I..."

Lin Mu opened his mouth, about to speak, when Sophie suddenly jumped off the bed like she had seen a cockroach at the dining table, exclaiming, "By the way, how long have your bed sheets not been washed? The pillowcase and bedspread look grimy. No wonder I smelled something strange when I entered the room. Lin Mu, can’t we go back to the villa? I really don’t want to do it here. Look at this environment, there’s no romance at all."

"Ro-Romance?" Lin Mu was dumbfounded, but before he could gather his thoughts, Sophie approached him pitifully, using a voice that was three parts coy and seven parts charming, "Oh, don’t rush. I wouldn’t go back on my promise. Tonight, when we get home, I’ll be waiting for you in the room, alright?"

"Al-Alright." Lin Mu nodded unconsciously, utterly captivated.

"Great, let’s go then."

Sophie gleefully buttoned her collar, her demeanor suggesting a scheme had succeeded...

Su’s Great Enterprise is the leading company in Wancheng. Although it has been on a downward path recently for various reasons, a withered camel is still bigger than a horse. Especially now, as this withered camel has connected with Robert, a large international conglomerate. As Lin Mu followed Sophie into the venue, he was nearly blinded by the dense flashlights illuminating the place.

At ten o’clock sharp, Rogge, blond-haired and blue-eyed, arrived punctually with more than a dozen men and women, and his arrival set off another small climax. Both parties shook hands warmly, Sophie represented Su’s Great Enterprise to deliver a speech and briefly introduced the collaborative projects to the media present. Meanwhile, Rogge highly praised Su’s Great Enterprise. In short, it was just a ceremony—its promotional significance far outweighed the so-called signing.

"Boring."

Lin Mu yawned, unable to resist the tedium, and slipped out.

"Mr. Lin, didn’t you rest well last night?"

"Huh, it’s you. Your Huaxia dialect isn’t bad," Lin Mu said, surprised, seeing Rogge follow him out.

"Hehe, I am the CEO of Robert in the Huaxia District, so naturally, I need to master the Huaxia language." Rogge gestured for his two bodyguards to stay further back while he himself sat down with a respectful tone, "Director Louis asked me to pass on his apologies. Due to some issues, he flew back to Western Europe overnight and couldn’t attend the signing ceremony."

"Oh, I see. I thought Elder Lu was caught with a prostitute in a hotel and thrown into detention." Lin Mu grinned mischievously, crossing his legs.

"Hehe..." Rogge squinted his eyes and chuckled dryly.

If it were anyone else making this kind of joke, he would surely be angered, but Lin Mu was different. Louis had informed him of Lin Mu’s identity before he left. This seemingly ordinary young Huaxia man was the thirteenth-largest shareholder of the Robert Conglomerate and the cherished grandson of Elder Lin, the leader of the Divine Dragon Organization. Although Elder Lin doesn’t participate in operations, if he wanted to dismiss Robert’s role, a single phone call would settle it.
