Chapter 23: Chapter 22 Monkey Feces (Leading Recomndation, Favorite it!)”_1
“I’m telling you for the last ti, let go.” Mu Lin’s voice had now lost all its warmth, her expression increasingly frigid and penetrating.
Since he was willing to throw away his own life, she didn’t mind… reclaiming it.
Luckily, Jing Chen knew when to back off.
Though unsure about Mu Lin’s skills, he was quite well aware of her reputation as the Poison Doctor.
For the sake of his own life, he figured it’d be best not to provoke her too much.
Without uttering a word, he gradually released his grip around Mu Lin’s waist. Mu Lin imdiately freed herself from his arms, distancing herself from him. Despite the distance, her eyes were still cold.
If looks could kill, Jing Chen would’ve died multiple tis over by now.
Before he could speak…
“Miss Mu! I heard that you haven’t…” finished work.
His voice arrived before the person did. When he reached the door but didn’t enter, he noticed soone else was in the room. “Huh, you still have a patient?” he asked, his voice indicating a hint of curiosity, as if finding that Mu Lin still had a patient was an unusually strange event.
After all, he’d just seen the little nurse who usually assisted Mu Lin leave work. Could he possibly have had seen wrong?
“Yes, a patient who’s severely ntally ill.” Her voice exuded a faint grinding resentnt.
“So, is he alright now?” The newcor seed blissfully oblivious to the tense atmosphere in the room, paying attention only to Mu Lin and ignoring the three n around her entirely.
“Mr. i.” Jing Chen had never seen i Qingyuan so… elated.
Is elated the right word? It didn’t seem to match the i Qingyuan he knew from ho.
Jing Chen had a vague idea why i Qingyuan was treating Mu Lin so specially.
One thing was certain, though. i Qingyuan probably didn’t know Mu Lin’s true identity yet; if he did, the joy in his eyes would be even greater.
…
“Huh… Jing Chen, why are you here?” Hearing the familiar moniker, i Qingyuan finally sowhat acknowledged the others in the room. Upon catching sight of Jing Chen, his puzzled gaze fell upon him.
“I’m here for a follow-up appointnt.” He really just noticed him, huh?
“Follow-up?” i Qingyuan repeated, before finally seeming to understand. “So the patient Miss Mu ntioned is you! Did you get injured sowhere?” His eyes roved up and down Jing Chen’s form. “I never thought you would actually get injured.”
“I’m fine now.” Jing Chen replied, “With Doctor Mu here, it was just a minor injury.” So her surna is Mu? He just didn’t know her first na.
“Well, that’s good.” i Qingyuan nodded, “Hang on, a follow-up appointnt? Did you and Miss Mu know each other before?” Mu Lin had only been here a few days, and he had been around most of these few days. He hadn’t heard of this guy coming here before.
“We t once. Doctor Mu saved my life.” The fact that he had been injured and saved by the Poison Doctor was known to almost no one outside the Ying Sun group.
“That’s a real coincidence then.” i Qingyuan chuckled, watching Jing Chen and Mu Lin with increasing amusent in his eyes.
Clicking his tongue, he thought to himself that his sons weren’t a match for this Miss Mu. But Jing Chen, it seed, might be a good fit.
Though a bit cold, Jing Chen’s character and accomplishnts made him a leader amongst leaders. With Mu Lin there, perhaps Jing Chen’s old father would feel better?
i Qingyuan had originally intended to invite Mu Lin to the Jing Family, but he didn’t anticipate they already knew each other. That made things easier.
“Yes, quite the coincidence.” Mu Lin retorted with a cold huff. She shot a glance at the still smiling Jing Chen, then turned to i Qingyuan, “Mr. i, did you need sothing?”
“Oh, well, nothing really.” i Qingyuan then rembered, “It’s my wife’s birthday tonight, so I wanted to invite you to join us for dinner.”
His wife constantly nagged him about inviting Mu Lin over, so he needed to send the invite today, no matter what.
Did this fall under the category of being one’s own worst enemy? Regardless, he did hope that Mu Lin would co. The only issue was whether she was willing or not.
“Would that be inconvenient?” Mu Lin asked.
“Not at all. My wife is quite insistent on eting you, she’s even given
an ultimatum.” i Qingyuan put on a show of distress. It seed that if Mu Lin didn’t agree to go with him, he’d refuse to leave.
People say that as you get older, you beco childlike. Looking at the elderly man in front of her, Mu Lin was at a loss. In the end, she agreed.
As for this caring elderly man, Mu Lin felt a little unsure about how to refuse. Although, it seed he hadn’t given her a chance to refuse.
Seeing Mu Lin agree, the wrinkles at the corners of i Qingyuan’s eyes deepened as he smiled. He then turned to Jing Chen, “How about you join us, Jing Chen? My wife will be thrilled to see you.”
Their two families had known each other for several decades, and Mada i had watched Jing Chen grow up. She adored and was quite envious of this exceptional young man.
Envious because all the young n from the Jing family were so accomplished, especially Jing Chen.
“Alright.”
Just as i Qingyuan thought Jing Chen would decline, he agreed… without a mont’s hesitation.
