Chapter 54: Rivals Come to Visit
Mu Li asked for a basket of xiaolongbao, which Lin Qing loved to eat, and then ordered two servings of porridge and side dishes, even if it was today's dinner.
Thinking that the two of them were going to have a luxurious dinner, but they ended up sitting in this inconspicuous small restaurant, Lin Qing felt a little guilty.
So after the hot xiaolongbao was served to the table by the proprietress, Lin Qing immediately took one and sent it to Mu Li's mouth.
"Well, I'll give it to you." She raised her eyebrows playfully.
Mu Li took a bite of xiaolongbao, and the soup inside accidentally splashed to the corner of his mouth.
He wiped it casually, but was stopped by Lin Qing, who was quick-eyed.
"Eh, you can't wipe it with your hands, it's unhygienic." Lin Qing took out a tissue from the side while teaching, and naturally wiped the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that the corners of Mu Li's mouth were free of the oil stains of the soup, Lin Qing withdrew his hand with satisfaction.
At this time, there was a whisper of suspicion around: "That person, that person is the man sitting at the innermost table, is it Commander Mu?" ”
The man's companion looked in that direction when he heard this, and was not sure: "Really?" I've only seen a photo of Commander Mu, and I can't see it from such an angle. ”
"It looks like it's really him." The woman who spoke first was much more affirmative this time, nodded as she spoke, and looked at Mu Li a few times, "A friend of mine is in the army, and I heard that Commander Mu got married not long ago, and he is a gentle and virtuous beauty, and the two are also very affectionate. ”
The friend opposite the woman glanced at Lin Qing at this time, because Lin Qing was facing away from him, and only vaguely saw the side face.
The man looked at it carefully, and his tone was a little joking: "But the woman sitting next to him looks like an ordinary person, and she is not as amazing as you say." ”
The woman sighed, seemed to be a little surprised, and glanced at Lin Qing a few more times, very puzzled: "That friend of mine has seen Commander Mu's wife, and that's what he told me." ”
When the two said this, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile without saying a word.
It seems that even the most beautiful woman can hardly lock the heart of such a powerful man.
Lin Qing was pouring vinegar and didn't hear the conversation between the two clearly, but those words fell into Mu Li's ears.
Mu Li glanced over there, not seeming to care.
Lin Qing, who was sitting opposite, ate attentively, and did not forget to put one or two soup dumplings in the small plate in Mu Li's hand from time to time.
It wasn't long before they finished their dinner, which was indeed delicious.
After settling the account, Mu Li took Lin Qing's shoulders and walked towards the door, and when he walked next to the two people who had whispered about Lin Qing before, he opened his mouth quietly.
"We've been married for so long, is there anything you'd like to go to? I'll be with you next weekend. ”
Lin Qing was very happy: "Okay, let me think about what cities are suitable for tourism recently." ”
So along the way, Lin Qing was thinking about this, and his heart was very sweet.
And the rumors that were discussed before are also self-defeating.
As a woman who is Mu Li, she must be able to resist discussions and blows, and Lin Qing has actually been aware of this for a long time.
A few days later, at noon on this day, Lin Qing was preparing lunch in the kitchen. Mu Li went to the study since breakfast, and he hasn't shown up until now.
He's probably been busy lately.
Lin Qing understands this very well.
So when someone rang the doorbell, Lin Qing immediately put down the things in his hand and rinsed them a little, shook off the water stains on his hands, and walked to the door.
"Who?" She asked.
Someone on the other side of the door coughed lowly, cleared his throat and replied, "It's me." ”
Lin Qing didn't hear Shan Lin's voice at the first time.
The man probably guessed it too, so he added: "Shan Lin." ”
It turned out to be him.
Lin Qing didn't expect Shan Lin to know the address here, and although he was a little surprised, he opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Lin Qing saw Shan Lin standing at the door holding a bouquet of flowers.
It's just that this time it's replaced with a dark blue rose-
Blue Enchantress.
Shan Lin stepped into the door and handed the bouquet in his hand to Lin Qing.
"It's not good to come empty-handed, that's why I bought this." Although it was a far-fetched explanation, Lin Qing still gladly accepted the bouquet.
She took a step to the side and went to close the door herself, letting Shan Lin enter their house.
Lin Qing usually only wears a casual wide-shouldered nightdress at home, and then steps on a pair of pink slippers, which looks both homely and cute.
Shan Lin didn't react much to what she was wearing, probably Lin Qing hadn't noticed that she was wearing pajamas to come out to meet people.
"Mu is away from him, isn't he there?" After a week's glancing, Shan Lin asked.
Lin Qing was holding the bouquet of flowers and thinking about where to put them, and replied casually: "He is in the study." ”
Shan Lin smiled faintly, and when he walked to the center of the living room, he pointed to a porcelain vase in front of the bay window and said, "It's good to put the flowers there." ”
Lin Qing looked at it and was very grateful for his suggestion.
While putting a dozen blue enchantresses into the bottle, Lin Qing opened his mouth: "Have you been here before?" It feels like you're familiar with this place. ”
Shan Lin smiled lightly again: "It's just that my observation is a little better, and this is the first time I've come." ”
Lin Qing sighed and beckoned him to sit down.
Half a minute later, Lin Qing came over with a glass of water and said when he put it on the coffee table: "I'm sorry, the tea at home seems to be running out." ”
Shan Lin didn't mind this, but was very friendly to Lin Qing: "It's okay, I don't like tea." ”
Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief and pointed upstairs: "I'll go and tell Mu Li to come down, you wait a minute." ”
Who knew that Shan Lin stopped: "I'm here to find you today." ”
"Looking for me?" Lin Qing was startled, and the index finger of his right hand pointed to Mu Li's study upstairs.
At this time, Mu Li was studying the art of war in the study, and he didn't know anything about the situation downstairs.
"That's right." Shan Lin affirmed Lin Qing's question, "It's you." ”
Lin Qing withdrew his hand, and his eyes seemed to ask, "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”
Shan Lin crossed his fingers, put them on his chest, and said in a freed tone: "I came to ask something about Mu Li. ”
It turned out to be for Mu Li.
"Then ......" Lin Qing hesitated a little, "What's the matter?" ”
She wasn't sure she could help Shan.
There was a certain light flashing in Shan Lin's eyes, and he smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I won't harm him." On the contrary, I did it to clear up the misunderstanding with him and become friends again. ”
"In that case, I might be able to help, what do I need to do?" Lin Qing felt that Shan Lin's eyes were very sincere.
Seeing that Lin Qing didn't even ask what the misunderstanding was, Shan Lin, like everyone who didn't know her, paused.
There was a residual hesitation in his heart.
"You ...... Why did you get married? Shan Lin never understood this.
Since meeting Lin Qing that day, Shan Lin has also done his homework, he investigated Lin Qing privately, but only learned some very ordinary information.
Moreover, it seems that Lin Qing and Mu Li's lives have basically not intersected not long ago.
Lin Qing tilted his head: "I want to get married, so I went to get married." ”
Shan Lin felt that this condition was a bit insufficient.
"So," Shan Lin returned to the topic earlier, "can we keep in touch and keep in touch with me at any time to tell me about his movements?" ”
He probably felt that his request was a bit excessive, so he added: "No, just let me know a little once in a while." ”
Looking at Shan Lin's appearance, Lin Qing was not very easy to refuse.
But she thought about it again, Mu Li seemed to hate Shan Lin very much, he should be angry if he did this, right?
While hesitating, Lin Qing heard an indifferent and cold voice behind him: "No." ”
The person who spoke was Mu Li, who was coming down the stairs.
"If you want to approach my woman in this way, I advise you to stop there." Mu Li walked to Lin Qing's side and spoke with a very cold attitude towards Shan Lin.
Shan Lin expected this to be the case, got up from the sofa, and looked at Mu Li: "I just want to find an opportunity to get in touch with the misunderstanding between us." ”
"There was no misunderstanding between us." Mu Li coldly interrupted Shan Lin.
Lin Qing knew that he couldn't interject at this time, so he obediently stood aside and waited for the storm to end.
"You only listened to her side of the story back then, why didn't you trust me?" Shan Lin brought up some of the past.
"You don't need anyone's trust." Mu Li was even more cold.
However, Lin Qing didn't understand it, their conversation was too subtle.
She tilted her head and stayed quietly.
"Or did you not intend for me to explain her departure in the first place, just to take advantage of me." Shan Lin came to a conclusion without authorization.
Mu Li sneered: "I'm sorry, I'm not idle to this point." ”
"Lin Qing, what do you think?" Shan Lin looked at Lin Qing coldly, "If it were you, what would you do?" ”
"Huh?" Lin Qing was staring at his toes, looking up, and met Mu Li's eyes.
His eyes were dark and deep.
"I think...... Maybe give it a chance. Lin Qing paused and said.
Shan Lin's brows stretched, he didn't expect Lin Qing to really help him speak.
But Lin Qing actually wanted to help Mu Li.
There was an indescribable bitterness in Mu Li's heart. He didn't care what Lin Qing said, what made him unbearable was her friendliness to Shan Lin.
The bitterness was like a vine, climbing all the way up from his heart, tightly wrapping around his breath.
Mu Li did not respond to Lin Qing's statement.
He just had a cold breath between his eyebrows, and then issued an eviction order: "Please go back." Also, please don't appear here again in the future. ”
Shan Lin did not argue.
Shan Lin left, leaving only the bouquet of flowers still quietly in the vase, a little dazzling in the sun.
Lin Qing heard the sound of the door closing, and was a little frustrated for a moment.
"I just want to help you ......" Lin Qing pursed her lips, like a good cat admitting her mistake, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would become like this." ”
Mu Li's eyes tightened, and he grabbed Lin Qing's chin to make her look at herself.
"I want you to keep in mind that you are my woman." Every word, Mu Li said it ruthlessly.
Lin Qing didn't know that she had unintentionally maintained Shan Lin just now, which made Mu Li a little jealous.
She met Mu Li's gaze, a little shy: "This...... You don't need to be reminded all the time, right? ”
"Don't you need it?" Mu Li narrowed his eyes to reveal a dangerous look, "Even if I remind you every moment, I'm afraid you will leave it behind." ”
Lin Qing shook his head like a rattle: "How come, I always remember it." ”
She said as she reached out to rub Mu Li's eyebrows.
The frowning brow was slightly loosened.
Lin Qing was relieved and changed the topic: "The kitchen was halfway busy just now, and the meal hasn't been cooked yet!" I'm going to cook, you just wait here, don't go upstairs. ”
