...
Mu Boyan let out a long sigh and gave a collective reply, explaining last night’s situation.
Everyone started blessing him.
Had his family not understood what was going on?
Fortunately, Mu Yunnuan was young, otherwise she would have teased him as well.
At that mont, Mu Shaoze sent another ssage.
: On behalf of Nuannuan, I just want to say, I have a second aunt now!
Mu Boyan: "..."
Xu Wanqing: All future matchmaking appointnts are canceled, hurry up and bring your fiancée ho.
Mu Boyan: "!"
He looked at this ssage thoughtfully, his eyes squinting slightly behind his glasses.
When he got off work, he greeted Xu Wanqing, didn’t go on any more blind dates, because he had made a decision.
He bought a lot of fresh ingredients and cooked cola chicken wings, stir-fried baby cabbage, and braised pork ribs.
He cleared his throat and practiced in front of the mirror.
"Hello, Lin Chu, I have a rather awkward request, could you pretend to be my girlfriend?"
"Hey, Lin Chu, there’s sothing I’d like to ask you, to solve the trouble both you and I are currently facing."
After rehearsing a few tis, he stepped out of his house and knocked on the next door.
Shan opened the door, her eyes lighting up, "Sister Chuchu, Doctor Mu is here!"
Lin Chu was lying in bed scrolling through the news when she heard Shan’s shouting, she jumped up, and imdiately her tailbone hurt so much she began questioning life.
"M-m-mommy!"
When she saw Mu Boyan, she endured the pain and forced a smile; she was a good actress, she was the best.
Mu Boyan, looking at her smile that was uglier than crying, tentatively asked, "Does it really hurt that much?"
Lin Chu knew she hadn’t disguised it well; that smile must have looked ugly.
"It’s, it’s alright, what brings Doctor Mu here?"
Mu Boyan coughed lightly, thought about his lines, and finally blurted out, "I made dinner for you."
Lin Chu: "..."
Shan: "..."
Mu Boyan pushed his glasses up, "Actually, I wanted to ask if you could pretend to be my girlfriend?"
"Pretend? Girlfriend?" Lin Chu swallowed nervously.
Shan was even more stunned.
Mu Boyan explained, "My family has been arranging blind dates for , but none of them have touched my heart, so the matchmaking is really wearing out. Today I learned about your situation, that you’re being mistaken as a howrecker, which is quite a difficult position for you. Now that you and I have been caught up in this rumor, if we pretend to be a couple, it will resolve issues for both of us. I won’t be tired from blind dates anymore, and you’ll have a boyfriend. It’s a win-win situation. Of course, I have no ulterior motives or thoughts about you personally, you don’t have to worry about that."
Lin Chu, watching him speak so earnestly, felt that the last sentence was unnecessary.
She thought about it, "Okay."
Shan covered her mouth, although these two were fake, it didn’t stop her from shipping this fake CP.
Mu Boyan slightly curled his lip, "Then, should I bring the dishes over, and we eat together?"
Lin Chu nodded, "All right."
After Mu Boyan left, Shan rushed over to Lin Chu, "Oh my gosh, are you guys going to turn this fake play into reality?"
Lin Chu glanced at her, "Didn’t you hear what he said just now? He has absolutely no ulterior motives or thoughts towards , so don’t go imagining malnourished stuff. Hurry up, help to the dining room, I’m hungry."
When she sat down, Mu Boyan ca in with a plate of braised spare ribs and placed it on the table.
"Wait, I’ll go get more dishes."
Shan, "I’ll help you."
Not long after, Mu Boyan ca over with cola chicken wings and stir-fried baby cabbage, and Shan was holding the rice cooker.
Lin Chu looked at the tempting dishes and involuntarily swallowed, "Shan, go get the bowls and chopsticks. Doctor Mu, please sit down."
"Thank you," Mu Boyan took his seat watching Shan distribute the bowls and chopsticks.
Lin Chu ate a rib and her face lit up with satisfaction, "Wow, this is so delicious! Doctor Mu, can I eat your cooking every night during our fake relationship?"
Mu Boyan nodded, "If I’m not on duty or performing surgeries, I can make breakfast and dinner, but lunch would be difficult."
Lin Chu nodded vigorously, "That’s fine, I eat everything except coriander."
Mu Boyan smiled, "I’ll rember that."
After the al, Shan washed the dishes.
Mu Boyan and Lin Chu sat on the couch discussing what to pay attention to while pretending.
Mu Boyan said, "Don’t worry, I won’t have excessive physical contact with you, but in front of others, especially my family, I need your cooperation to hold hands."
Hold hands?
Lin Chu looked at his long and clean fingers, Oh my gosh, his hands are the ceiling of hands.
Although she wasn’t particularly obsessed with hands, his were just too attractive!
She felt like holding that hand would be taking advantage of him.
She humd in response, "Okay."
Mu Boyan continued, "If my family gives you any gifts, you don’t have to return them; you can accept them with peace of mind."
Lin Chu pulled a face, feeling awkward, "That doesn’t seem quite right."
Mu Boyan chuckled, "It’s fine, the Mu family isn’t short of that."
Lin Chu felt like she was taking an enormous advantage.
Who says pies can’t fall from the sky? There you go, one had hit her on the head.
Mu Boyan asked, "Is there anything else you require?"
Lin Chu thought for a mont, "If I need to take so couple’s photos, would you be okay with that?"
Mu Boyan thought about it, "That’s fine."
Lin Chu extended her right hand, "Then here’s to a pleasant cooperation."
Shan had finished washing the dishes and just happened to see the two of them shaking hands. From her angle, it looked like they were kissing.
She quickly took out her phone, snapped a picture, and sent it to their agent, Sister Li.
Sister Li forwarded it to the film & TV company to start a round of public relations.
The photo was also accompanied by a blurb, saying that the two had fallen in love at first sight since eting at the hospital and it had been a while since then.
As Lin Chu’s boyfriend was not from the entertainnt industry, she wanted to protect his privacy and that’s why she hadn’t made it public.
As soon as the ssage went out, it quickly topped the headlines and trended on social dia.
After Mu Boyan got ho, he found that the WeChat group was exploding again.
He had anticipated such a scenario.
Xu Wanqing called him straight away, "Son, bring Lin Chu ho for a al."
Mu Boyan, "She’s injured and needs to stay in bed."
Upon hearing that, Xu Wanqing said, "Okay then, I’ll go and see her tomorrow."
Mu Boyan, "..."
