Chapter 1574: Chapter 1589: That’s a Huge Misunderstanding

"Uh..." Lei Xiaojiao had a look of utter exasperation, seriously, is there anyone more narcissistic than this guy?

"Alright then!" With what seemed like great determination, Lin Mu sighed and shyly said, "Time, place, are you booking the room or am I? Just so we’re clear, play is play, but don’t overdo it! More than seven times in one night, people can’t handle that."

However, Lei Xiaojiao didn’t react as expected, storming off in a rage or hysterically yelling. Instead, she suddenly broke into a bright smile, as radiant as blooming flowers, captivating and beautiful.

Ignoring this guy’s blatant teasing, she brushed aside a few strands of hair from her forehead and said, without blinking, "Three minutes ago, that suspect with the full beard has regained consciousness. It won’t be long before he starts talking. Hehe, as a police officer, I can’t point you out, but he can, right? Lin Mu, the long arm of the law will eventually catch up with you, no matter how clever you think you are, you won’t escape justice in the end."

"I really don’t know what you’re talking about."

Lin Mu shook his head, baffled, "One moment it’s a drug case, the next it’s Big Beard, what does this have to do with me? Sigh, I’m just a little office worker with nothing happening during the day and nothing hanging at night. What did I ever do to you? Why are you always picking on me?"

"Look at him, he doesn’t seem to be faking it! Could it be that I really judged him wrong?"

Lei Xiaojiao slightly raised an eyebrow without realizing, then as if recalling something, she patted Lin Mu on the shoulder and said, "Not seeing the coffin, not shedding tears, that’s you. Just wait, Lin Mu, I’ll be back soon to personally arrest you and throw you in jail."

"Crap, it’s too soon for that talk, wait until you get back to the criminal investigation team before saying it."

Lin Mu kept a neutral face, but her pat left him in unbearable pain, nearly cursing aloud, almost greeting all of Lei Xiaojiao’s ancestors!

His wound wasn’t fully healed yet, and Lei Xiaojiao’s forceful pat split it open. Luckily, he was wearing a black suit, or else the blood would’ve given him away right there!

"Let’s go."

Lei Xiaojiao’s expression changed slightly, but she couldn’t overdo it, only letting out a cold snort and leaving with two other officers, somewhat sheepishly.

"Phew!" Lin Mu let out a sigh of relief, just sat down when Song Yanan hurried in and said, "What happened, you got into a fight? Are you alright, are you hurt?"

"No big deal, just a few misfits. They couldn’t be a match for me, got rid of them in seconds."

Warmth welled up in Lin Mu’s heart, feeling quite touched: Sisters really are the best! Caring, tender, understanding. Unlike that little girl Sophie, who hasn’t even come to check on me. Stirred by emotions, he curved up his lips, ready to give the beautiful sister a warm hug to express his gratitude, but she raised an eyebrow and said displeased, "Who asked you, I mean, are those cops alright? Don’t let your silly temper get the better of you and injure someone, that’d be a big trouble."

"..." Lin Mu almost burst into tears. You can’t bully people like this! I’m the victim here! My shoulder is still bleeding! And you care about outsiders first, can’t believe you’d take their side! No conscience?

"Alright, alright, stop being such a drama queen, why do you act like a resentful woman locked away in a deep chamber." ℴ

Song Yanan walked up to him, gently patted Lin Mu’s shoulder, and said softly, "You’re so strong, who could be your opponent? Naturally, I’d be more worried about those officers."

"Cut it out, stop buttering me up, I’m so upset right now, I don’t want to talk to you."

"Oh! Quite the temper, huh?" Song Yanan half-laughed, about to speak, when she felt something sticky on her hand, instinctively glancing down she couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, "You’re bleeding?"

"Aha, there’s nothing, it’s just ketchup, accidentally got smeared on during breakfast."

Feeling things were going south, Lin Mu quickly grabbed Song Yanan’s little hand, using his sleeve to wipe it, "See, all clean. Don’t make a fuss, who am I? No one on Earth could really injure me!"

"Quit joking, how can ketchup end up on your shoulder?"

Song Yanan scornfully spat back at him, "Let me see it, the injury must be serious, why’s there so much blood flow?"

"No need, there’s really nothing wrong... hey, why’re you lifting my shirt, guys can be shy too... Sister, public place, mind the influence, alright?"

Startled, Lin Mu forcefully held onto his suit collar, yet Song Yanan seemed determined to find out, hence, one attacking, one defending, they ended up having so much fun, no idea how it happened, but with a stumble, Song Yanan lost balance and fell into Lin Mu’s arms. Then just as it happens, the room door opened.

Seeing this pair intimately entangled, Sophie was first stunned, then her pretty face flushed an apple red!

"Sorry to interrupt, carry on!" Leaving hastily after a quick word, the beautiful CEO left in a fluster, only letting out a breath of relief after the door closed behind her, her heart racing so fast it seemed it would burst out of her chest.

"Damn it, since when did this guy get Sister Nan? Damn it, they’re so eager they couldn’t even wait and started in the lounge..."

Sophie leaned against the wall, taking deep breaths, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, though she couldn’t quite pin down the feelings, a mix of sour, spicy, bitter, salty emotions, meanwhile, Song Yanan came to her senses, angrily grabbing Lin Mu’s arm, saying, "It’s all your fault, now that Feifei’s seen this, she’s bound to misunderstand."

"What’s there to fear, we didn’t do anything, as they say, a clear conscience fears no false accusations. If she wants to misunderstand, let her misunderstand."

"Get lost, how can you still joke at a time like this?" Song Yanan blushed furiously, angrily swatting away the naughty hand gently caressing her thigh, "Let go, I’m going to explain to her."

"Don’t bother! In these situations, the more you explain, the worse it’ll look. If you don’t explain, it’s fine, but once you do, she’ll really think there’s something between us." Lin Mu yawned, unemotionally, but inside he was secretly delighted: missing out for a few days.

"Then, what should I do?"

"Just let it go naturally! As the saying goes, where there’s a will, there’s a way, everything will sort itself out, don’t worry over minor stuff. Of course, if you feel wronged and can’t get over it, we’re not in a rush, we could actually act it out, and give it a try..."

"Shameless, only a pig would want something with you."

Song Yanan frowned, then seemed to realize something, her almond eyes widening, "With things turning out like this, must be very pleased, right?"

"Pleased? How could I be pleased!"
