Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 670 The Child Bride's Delusional Dreams (8)

Jiang Xing dared not make excuses any longer.

His family had certain expectations of him, so he naturally had to maintain a good image and couldn't act recklessly.

There was no other way but to bite the bullet and apologize to Mu Zhou.

"I will definitely apologize and make amends another day."

Mu Zhou wasn't angry at all, and even said very tolerantly:

"I understand. You go ahead, I'll go back by myself."

Fearing he would feel guilty, she added:

"Actually, I didn't come here completely without gaining anything. At least I have some understanding of the work environment and pace here."

Mu Zhou's words made Jiang Xing feel even more guilty.

How could there be such an understanding girl? He repeatedly promised to apologize properly next time.

Mu Zhou's kind attitude made him feel guilty.

Because she had already guessed why he had been suddenly assigned to work.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Zhou put the newspaper back, put on his coat, and prepared to leave.

Before I even reached the entrance of the company, I saw two people coming down the sloping stairs.

Mu Zhou had only glanced at the person casually, but stopped when he saw their appearance.

She paused for a moment, then quickly looked away, preparing to leave.

Before she could even step down the stairs, she heard the man call her name in a cool, clear voice.

"Mu Zhou."

She froze, momentarily at a loss for words, and could only whisper, "Uncle."

Lu Lin walked up to her, looked at her without saying a word, and a ripple appeared in his eyes.

The little girl was noticeably less friendly and gentle when she saw him this time than she had been the previous times.

He remembered that she used to always smile with her lips pursed, and her dimples were faintly visible on her cheeks.

At this moment, her face was stern, and there was not a trace of a smile in her eyes.

Lu Lin couldn't help but laugh.

She has quite a temper.

We just openly and blatantly gave him a hard time.

However, he was ultimately in the wrong.

When he spoke again, Lu Lin's voice was unusually gentle:

"Back to school or the shop? I'll give you a ride."

"No need to trouble you, Uncle. I'm not going anywhere. I'm going shopping."

Mu Zhou refused quickly, without the slightest hesitation.

I thought Lu Lin would let it go, but to my surprise, he said:

"I'll take you wherever you want to go, let's go."

His tone even had a hint of coaxing.

He nudged Mu Zhou's arm, gesturing for her to get in the car.

Mu Zhou dodged his touch and looked up to meet his gaze:

"What is Uncle doing?"

"I……"

Before Lu Lin could even utter his apology, Mu Zhou suddenly stepped forward and got extremely close to him.

"Uncle, you asked me to stay away from Lu Zhiyuan, and I did. I understand what you mean. You just think I'm overestimating myself and not good enough for him. So... what are you doing now, Uncle?"

She slightly raised her chin, and her pure, innocent eyes, like those of a doe, revealed a hint of provocation.

This stark contrast caused Lu Lin's chest to tighten, leaving him speechless for a moment.

Mu Zhou boldly fixed her gaze on his face.

His face was strikingly handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, thin lips, and even the contours of his face exuded a cold and aloof demeanor.

The most heartless person.

Yet it is also exceptionally captivating.

Mu Zhou suddenly curled her lips into a smile, her soft, gentle voice deliberately slowing down:

"Or is it that Uncle has decided to sacrifice himself to save others?"

A hint of confusion flashed across Lu Lin's face, but soon, a moment of clarity swept through his mind.

He understood the meaning behind Mu Zhou's words.

She felt that he was offering himself to attract her attention so that she would let Lu Zhi go?

Lu Lin tensed up instantly, his brows furrowing.

The words of reprimand were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't bring himself to say them.

Because Mu Zhou suddenly raised his hand and lightly touched his lips with his index finger, stopping him from speaking.

She silently uttered a "shh" sound with her lips.

He was signaling to be quiet.

Seeing the anger tinging in his eyes, Mu Zhou gave an indifferent smirk.

She withdrew her hand, stepped back slightly, and spoke in a cold tone:

"Don't worry, Uncle. I have no interest in Lu Zhi, nor in you. I won't waste my time and efforts on you."

After the incident at the hospital, Mu Zhou recalled their last meeting at the restaurant and naturally understood what he meant by his last words, "Don't waste your time on me."

He had long suspected she had ill intentions.

So naturally, she wouldn't want to make a fool of herself.

After saying this, she turned and left.

Lu Lin was still standing there, his fists clenched tightly without anyone noticing.

The secretary following behind him wished she could gouge out his eyes.

His usually composed, serious, promising, and perpetually calm deputy director also had this side to him...

He quietly retreated a little further away to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Lu Lin closed his eyes, suppressing the irritation in his chest.

Mu Zhou's words successfully provoked his anger.

But if you were to blame her...

But there's no logic to it.

He was the one who provoked her first.

Forget it.

He was an elder, and he wouldn't stoop to the level of a young girl like her.

Mu Zhou stood on the platform waiting for the bus.

Not long after, that familiar car stopped in front of her.

Because of his position, Lu Lin's car was very understated in terms of both brand and model.

This is noticeably different from Shang Henian and his group, who always drive flashy sports cars.

Mu Zhou recognized him immediately.

She silently turned her head to look in the direction of oncoming traffic.

Lu Lin didn't hesitate any longer. He got out of the car and grabbed Mu Zhou's wrist, trying to pull him into the car.

"What are you doing? I'm not getting in your car!"

Lu Lin held her wrist with one hand and put his arm around her shoulder with the other:

"Listen to me, get in the car first. It doesn't look good to be pulling and tugging."

Mu Zhou's cheeks flushed with anger:

"Who wants to get into a physical altercation with you? Let me go."

Lu Lin looked thin and frail, but he was surprisingly strong. Despite Mu Zhou's struggles, he was eventually pulled into the car.

The car door was closed, and the car drove away.

After getting into the car, Mu Zhou pressed herself against the door, fuming and refusing to even look at Lu Lin.

Lu Lin also showed a rare good temper:

Where should we go shopping?

Mu Zhou paused for a few seconds, his tone gloomy:

"...Northern City."

The driver immediately changed routes.

After a long silence, Lu Lin finally apologized:

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you at the hospital last time."

Mu Zhou snorted softly:

"How could I possibly accept my uncle's apology?"

Her sarcastic tone made Lu Lin involuntarily curl the corners of his lips, and his tone became serious:

“Of course you can take responsibility. It was my fault, and you can ask me for compensation.”

Mu Zhou pursed his lips, deciding to stop while he was ahead:

"Understood, no need for compensation."

Lu Lin didn't insist, but when they arrived at their destination, he got out of the car with Mu Zhou.

"Why is my uncle following me?"

Mu Zhou stopped and looked at him face to face.

He calmly replied:

"I'm off today, so this is perfect. I'll make up for the gift I owed you before, as well as a thank-you gift."

He paused, his tone sincere:

"You saved Lu Zhi, I should thank you properly."

Mu Zhou stared at him for a moment:

"You said that? Then... I can choose any gift I want?"

"Okay, you can choose whichever you like."

Seeing that her expression softened slightly, Lu Lin's mood inexplicably improved as well.

Mu Zhou's eyes flickered, and with a smile, she led him into the mall.
