Chapter 1680 - 1693: Come With Me

Chapter 1680: Chapter 1693: Come With Me

"Scoundrel, what exactly do you want?"

Sitting barefoot on the bench in the shade, Lei Xiaojiao widened her eyes and shouted angrily.

"Do you really need to ask? Of course, I want you to stay!" Lin Mu said confidently.

"Stay for what? To be your lover, your mistress?" At this point, Lei Xiaojiao suddenly felt particularly wronged, and her eyes immediately reddened.

Lin Mu: "..."

"What, nothing to say?" Seeing him like this, Lei Xiaojiao felt even more distressed in her heart. She took a deep breath and suppressed the tears swirling in her eyes. She said coldly, "Then give me back my shoes and go find your Feifei!"

"Geez, she’s not even my girlfriend, why would I look for her?"

"Not your girlfriend, yet you call her Feifei so intimately? Not your girlfriend, yet the dignified president of Su’s Great Enterprise wouldn’t care about the impact and hug you in public? Lin Mu, stop acting! I was foolish to believe your lies and ended up being deceived by you..." Saying this, Lei Xiaojiao hurriedly turned her head away, her voice a bit choked.

Lin Mu rubbed his temples in frustration,

Why is there such a big difference between people?

When others are the main character, they make everyone’s hearts flutter, not only do they cry and beg to embrace them but also everyone is gentle, considerate, and naturally seems to have the skills to share one husband...

But when it comes to me, I end up with these jealous jars. Could it be that my protagonist aura isn’t shining brightly enough?

Thinking is one thing, but a happy life relies on personal effort. Knowing that blaming others won’t solve the problem, Lin Mu rolled his eyes and sighed heavily, saying, "Xiaojiao, at this point, it seems I can’t hide it from you any longer. Actually, between Sophie and me, it’s not just a simple work relationship..."

Lin Mu started to tell the story slowly, of course, he added some embellishments, such as portraying himself as someone upright, uninterested in wealth and beauty, only wanting to repay kindness. He described the beautiful president as a girl full of infatuation... In short, it was a story of a love-struck concubine and a man with no intentions, filled with entanglements and heart-wrenching drama that could be turned into an eighty-episode TV series.

Lei Xiaojiao listened, bewildered, and after a long time, she snapped back to her senses and flung Lin Mu’s hand away with a cold smile, saying, "Liar, do you think I’ll believe you?"

"Sigh!"

Lin Mu sighed, rubbed his eyes that had taken a while to redden slightly, and said, "Xiaojiao, I know I’ve hurt you too deeply. It’s understandable that you don’t trust me, but no matter what, my love for you will never change."

At this point, Lin Mu suddenly took a deep breath, as if making some kind of decision, and resolutely lifted his head to look directly into Lei Xiaojiao’s eyes, saying, "Give me two more days. Once I resign from my job and settle everything in Wancheng, we’ll leave together, wander the world together, travel across mountains and rivers together, and when you’re tired, we’ll settle down in a picturesque place. You’ll be responsible for looking beautiful, and I’ll earn the money to support us. If you want kids, we’ll have two, one boy and one girl..."

This time, Lin Mu’s acting skills exploded. With a tender and sincere tone and eyes filled with affection, Lei Xiaojiao’s gaze started to become a little dazed.

Lin Mu felt invigorated and was about to make more efforts and use his silver tongue when suddenly, the phone rang, "Damn, who is it!"

Lin Mu picked up the phone, annoyed, and soon a sweet voice came through the receiver: "Brother Mu, it’s Liu Xin’Er! Are you coming home for dinner tonight? I made your favorite soft-shelled turtle soup. By the way, did you sleep with Sister Feifei last night? I saw her come back at noon and throw all her bed sheets and covers..."

Slam!

Lin Mu quickly hung up the phone.

Damn brat, reporting "work" either too early or too late, had to choose this moment, isn’t it clearly setting me up?

Turning his head, he indeed saw Lei Xiaojiao’s face, which had just softened a bit, turn icy with frost again, "No, Xiaojiao, listen to me, it’s not what you think... Hey, don’t walk so fast, first put on your shoes, be careful not to hurt your feet!"

Lei Xiaojiao didn’t want to pay him any attention, but the scorching sun made the ground unbearably hot. She walked forward angrily for seven or eight steps and her little feet started to ache from the heat. Reluctantly, she had to coldly turn around, take the strappy sandals, and slip them on her feet. Lin Mu opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but after fastening the metallic buckle, Lei Xiaojiao continued to walk ahead, not giving him the slightest chance.

There was nothing he could do but keep following her.

Immediately, the two walked, one after the other, along the street heading west. Lin Mu didn’t mind, he was thick-skinned, and after half an hour, he was only sweating a bit. But Lei Xiaojiao was struggling. At two in the afternoon, the hottest time in Wancheng, the blazing sun kept even the cicadas on the trees silent, let alone pedestrians.

Licking her lips, Lei Xiaojiao felt her throat was about to catch fire, and her skin was sticky with layers of fragrant sweat. Looking around, wanting to find a place to rest and have a cold drink, she unexpectedly found herself in the high-tech development zone on the west side of the city. The facilities around here were still insufficiently developed, and aside from a few closed small restaurants, Lei Xiaojiao didn’t even see a store...

"Darling, are you thirsty?"

Lin Mu read her expression and approached with a smile.

Lei Xiaojiao didn’t want to talk to him, but she was unbearably hot, and after walking for so long, she needed to use the restroom. If she kept delaying, she would only suffer herself. Thinking about this, she finally snorted and said, "You know that yet you ask, give me back my wallet!"

"I could give your wallet back, but it wouldn’t help. Look around, there’s not even a cold drink store, not even a person in sight. Even if you want to go back, you probably won’t be able to catch a cab anytime soon."

Lei Xiaojiao instinctively tightened her legs, her expression changing a bit.

It was fine not to have water, but not being able to find a place to relieve herself was rather embarrassing. Luckily, Lin Mu spoke up again, "Come on, I know a place. They have air conditioning, free drinks, and the restrooms are very clean!"

Lei Xiaojiao: "..."

In a modern city, there are many places with free air conditioning and quite a few with free drinks, but a place that offers both, along with snacks, and even lets you play premium racing games on a big screen for free, is probably only a car 4S dealership.

"So, what do you think, isn’t this place great?"
