Chapter 1644 - 1657: Poisoning

Chapter 1644: Chapter 1657: Poisoning

Lin Mu’s body stiffened, and he turned around with an awkward smile, only to see Song Yanan, who had just returned to her room, silently standing outside Sophie’s door. Lin Mu felt a wave of embarrassment at the sight of the beautiful lady’s expressionless face, "Uh, hey, you caught me!"

"Feifei has never been good at lying since she was little. She’s so nervous, it’d be strange if there was nobody in the wardrobe," Song Yanan said grumpily. It was fake to say she wasn’t ashamed and angry after being seen naked, but what was done was done, and saying more wouldn’t change anything. Blocking Lin Mu was just to clarify one thing, "Are you and Feifei dating?"

This completely off-topic question stunned Lin Mu on the spot, and it was only when the lady impatiently asked again that he came to his senses, stammering, "No, we’re not!"

"You’re still trying to fool me. Feifei has OCD; if you two haven’t had a relationship, why would she let you into her room?"

"Wait, having OCD means you can’t even enter the room? What kind of logic is that!"

Lin Mu opened his mouth wide and muttered, "I even used her blanket and slept in her bed, and she didn’t do anything..."

"Haha, you admitted it." Song Yanan looked utterly unsurprised, leaving Lin Mu speechless.

"About what happened today..."

"It was definitely a misunderstanding!"

"Shut up!" Song Yanan glared at Lin Mu, took a deep breath to calm herself, and said, "I will act as if today never happened, but there’s one thing I must remind you of. It’s no problem if you’re with Feifei, but if you do those things, you must take safety measures. She must not get pregnant before thirty."

"Huh?"

"What’s with the ’huh’?" Song Yanan said sternly, "This is no small matter. Pay attention, and by safety measures, I mean you wear protection. Feifei’s situation is special; she absolutely can’t take birth control..."

As Lin Mu walked down the stairs, he was still dazed, feeling he had been thrown for a loop. He had never imagined that Song Yanan blocked him not to pursue the matter of peeping but to play the role of a prospective mother-in-law, nervously babbling about bedroom safety. The many ’not allowed,’ ’must not,’ and ’absolutely cannot’ made Lin Mu feel dizzy, as if he had traveled back to ancient times, becoming a frustrated prince who had to submit a report every time he wanted to sleep with his wife.

Feeling rather uncomfortable in his heart, the way he looked at Sophie became somewhat resentful.

Gosh, what kind of a demon dares to poke my butt?

Lin Mu suddenly turned his head, just as Sophie casually withdrew her fork, wanting to speak but catching the icy murderous look in the female CEO’s eyes. Lin trembled, his eyes filled with tears, as he silently hung his head.

What the hell, is it necessary to use knives and forks for Chinese food?

My Armani! It’s only been worn a day, and now it’s got two holes...

Just then, Nanny Wang and Wuque sat down at the dining table as well. Nanny Wang was dressed in a simple blue blouse, her aged face expressionless, while Wuque had gone to great lengths to dress up: his hair was combed slickly back, he wore a white shirt with a vest, and had tied a pink bow tie under his neck. Looking at him, Lin Mu quickly turned his head away, afraid it would ruin the appetite he had finally worked up.

The Su Family didn’t have the rules of not speaking during meals like those of grand noble families. Everyone sat down, chatting as they ate, creating a rather harmonious atmosphere, except Lin Mu, who, perhaps because his butt was poked, looked rather gloomy, keeping his head down and just shoveling rice.

Sophie couldn’t be bothered with him, wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin, and then turned the topic to something she was interested in, "Wuque, I heard from Nanny Wang that you’re leaving?"

Having such a peculiar guy hanging around her every day, she was starting to become a bit fed up.

"What else can I do but leave? Staying here only bothers people." Wuque stirred his soup spoon slowly, replied in a melancholic tone.

The restaurant immediately fell silent. Sophie’s lips twitched, feeling a bit embarrassed. Just as she wanted to explain, he raised his head, beaming brightly, "Hehe, just kidding. The truth is I’ve finished my business here, and that’s why I’m planning to leave Wancheng!"

"Business? What business are you doing in Wancheng!"

Song Yanan was a bit puzzled.

Although she had gone to France the second day after Wuque arrived, their brief interactions had made Song Yanan aware that this peculiar young man, who had returned from studying abroad without a job yet, was actually Nanny Wang’s biological son and had joined Su’s Great Enterprise...

"You’ll know very soon."

Wuque shook his head mysteriously, then suddenly looked at Lin Mu who was diligently eating rice, "Is the dish good?"

"It’s okay." Lin Mu wiped his mouth and said casually, "The braised eggplant is a bit sweet, the stir-fried Romaine lettuce is a bit salty, but the crispy ribs taste good. It’s a pity I’m on a diet recently and don’t eat meat at night..."

"Just shut up, no one would think you’re dumb if you don’t speak."

Sophie glared at Lin Mu with her beautiful eyes, making him back down immediately.

Can’t blame anyone else for his bad luck! He sneaked into someone’s wardrobe filled with intimate apparel and was caught in the act...

"Haha!" Wuque squinted his eyes and suddenly chuckled sinisterly, "They say a hero is no match for the beauty’s charms, and it seems true. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that Lin Mu, the top expert of the Divine Dragon Special Forces, and the Wolf Fang Soldier King who once dominated the North African Grassland, would be so scolded by a woman that he wouldn’t dare say a word. Damn, if this gets out, it’ll be big news!"

"Wuque, what are you talking about?"

Sophie looked stunned, but before her voice faded, she saw Song Yanan’s face turning pale, as if her bones had been drawn away. She slumped in her chair, while Lin Mu shouted ’the food is poisoned,’ leapt up intending to fight, but his hand hung in mid-air and couldn’t land. Then with a bang, he fell to the ground.

How, how could this happen?
