Chapter 1679 - 1692: Beauty, Please Wait

Chapter 1679: Chapter 1692: Beauty, Please Wait

The moon hung over the willow tops, stars flickering across the sky. When they returned to the villa, Sophie’s body temperature had returned to normal. She lay quietly on the bed, a sweet smile on her lips, like a sleeping beauty, evoking tenderness. But Lin Mu had no mood to appreciate this tranquil beauty. He was so depressed that he felt like vomiting blood.

This second personality appeared a bit neurotic and goofy on the surface, but in reality, she was a calm and calculating woman. Every word and every action had a strong sense of purpose. Lin Mu considered himself a seasoned traveler of the world, having seen many big storms, yet when he was with this little woman, he genuinely felt a bit shocked.

What’s that saying? Strength isn’t terrifying; what’s terrifying is the unknown.

After two encounters without being able to fully understand his opponent’s mind, Lin Mu was not only worried but also felt a strong sense of defeat.

Unconsciously, emotionally exhausted, Lin Mu lay by Sophie’s bedside, drifting into a sleepy stupor. Vaguely, he felt a couple of kicks on his butt and thought it must be Sophie’s main personality waking up. But he was too tired to open his eyes, muttered something, turned over, and fell asleep again.

This time, he slept deeply and dreamt of a chaotic mess of dreams. When Lin Mu was finally woken by the persistent ringing of his phone, he found himself lying on Sophie’s pink soft bed, covered by her light blanket.

Though they quarreled, it seemed Feifei really cared about him.

He muttered contentedly, and as soon as he picked up the phone, Liu A Zhen’s voice, as sharp as a high soprano, blared from the receiver, "Uncle, where the hell did you go? Why haven’t you come to pick me up?"

"Ah?"

"Ah what? Hurry and come to the neighborhood where I’m getting tutored, Sister Xiao Jiao is leaving..."

"Who’s leaving?" Lin Mu rubbed his eyes, still not quite in the moment.

"Lei Xiaojiao! That big-chested, long-legged, curvy-butt chick of yours, she’s going off to join Zhao Tianhao, that old pale face!"

This time Lin Mu heard clearly, and his sleepiness vanished instantly. Cursing "damn," he hung up the phone without even washing his face and dashed out quickly...

He zipped down the stairs without acknowledging the greeting from Liu Xin’Er and bounced into the car, floored the gas pedal, and sped towards the city.

"Such a baffling guy." Liu Xin’Er squinted, a strange flash in her clear eyes, but it quickly faded away. She picked up the watering can, watering the little yellow flowers in front of the villa while smiling sweetly at the two playful security guards who peeped at her from afar...

Meanwhile, as Lin Mu just entered the city, he unfortunately ran into traffic. A line of cars stretched endlessly, trapping him on the overpass. He waited for so long that even snails on the railing crawled five meters, but he hadn’t moved even five centimeters. Lin Mu couldn’t sit still anymore; if this continued, there wouldn’t be a leaf left in his backyard vegetable patch...

One call to Cheng Xu to get someone to drive the car, and Lin Mu hurried off the overpass, hailed a taxi at the corner, and finally blocked Lei Xiaojiao with her bags at the community entrance.

"Who told him?"

Seeing Lin Mu trot over, Lei Xiaojiao halted her steps, and her face immediately turned gloomy.

"Not me!" Zhu Xiaoli shook her head, sighed in relief, shrugged, and said: "I’ve been helping you pack; I didn’t have the spare time to make a call."

"Ugh, why are you looking at me like that!" Liu A Zhen blinked pitifully, saying: "Sister Xiaojiao, do you suspect that the snitching guy is your ever-so-loyal little fan?"

"Hmph, don’t think I don’t know, you both definitely have a part in this..."

Seeing Zhu Xiaoli and Liu A Zhen’s expressions, each more innocent than the last, Lei Xiaojiao was so angry she was grinding her teeth. Just as she was about to speak again, Lin Mu walked over smiling: "Xiaojiao, with all these bags, where are you planning to go?"

"None of your business!" Lei Xiaojiao snorted, raising her chin and walking forward, only to find the handle of the suitcase suddenly lighten. It turns out Lin Mu had seized it, "Damn it, you’re my wife, can’t I ask where you’re going?"

"Who’s your wife, shameless!" Lei Xiaojiao scoffed, annoyed, "Give me my things back."

"No! Unless you promise not to leave."

"Dream on!" Lei Xiaojiao tried unsuccessfully to snatch the suitcase back, angrily kicked Lin Mu’s shin, then stepped around him into a taxi.

"Hey, you don’t want your luggage...damn, really leaving!"

Lin Mu hadn’t expected Lei Xiaojiao to be so resolute, waving her sleeve without a trace of sentiment. He froze in place, a bit dumbfounded, but luckily, he was flanked by two allies with different thoughts but the same purpose.

Zhu Xiaoli dashed forward, flagged down the next taxi: "Brother Lin, why are you still standing here? Go chase her, a good wife is won back through persuasion!"

Liu A Zhen pushed Lin Mu onto the taxi: "Uncle, I believe in you, bravely charge forward. If it doesn’t work, just overpower her, drag Lei Xiaojiao to a hotel, roll in the sheets twice, once the rice is cooked, everything will be up to you."

Lin Mu suddenly felt a sense that getting a wife was a matter of national importance.

Wiping his face, feeling invigorated, Lin Mu threw out several large red bills: "Driver, no matter what, catch up to that taxi in front. Yes, the one that just turned onto the right street, my wife is in that car!"

"No problem!"

The middle-aged driver coldly smiled, taking off his white gloves, revealing ten hardened fingers. A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed forward... Just when Lin Mu held his breath, feeling he’d encountered a legendary race driver, the middle-aged driver shook his wrist, picked up a worn walkie-talkie from below: "Hey, Old Wang, did you pick up a pretty girl? Stop for a moment up front, I’m on my way."

Lin Mu: "..."

Damn it!

There’s real talent among the people!

...

An hour later, Lei Xiaojiao was utterly out of patience. She had never met such a domineering person. Stealing her luggage was one thing, but dragging her from the taxi and confiscating her wallet was another. Of course, if it was just this, it wouldn’t matter; losing documents could be replaced, money could be earned at the station, after all, the ticket was already bought and tucked into her pocket... But Lei Xiaojiao never expected the jerk behind her would shamelessly snatch her shoes in broad daylight, in clear view!
