Chapter 36 Shy Look

Lin Qing’s friend must be rich or noble; otherwise, they would not meet here.

Chen Qudong looked at Lin Qing with care, “Lin Qing, how have you been recently?”

Lin Qing was a little surprised and nodded.

“Is Mu Li nice to you?”

Chen Qudong asked in a somewhat different tone.

Lin Qing paused and nodded.

Chen Qudong laughed.

Lin Qing looked up and had no idea what he was laughing at.

Nonetheless, she smiled in response.

Mu Li, who was at around the corner, saw them and got extremely angry.

Their interactions seemed intimate.

Mu Li was upset.

By the time he regained his senses, he had already forcefully held Lin Qing in his arms.

Mu Li was shocked by his own actions.

He had never had such a strong desire to control a woman.

However, he didn’t have the time to think about it. He put his arm over Lin Qing’s shoulder and hugged her tightly.

His extremely possessive hug caused Chen Qudong, who was standing opposite of him and had just regained his senses, to look terrible.

“Ah. It’s Commander Mu.”

Chen Qudong tried his best to pull himself together and greeted.

Mu Li was a little taller than him. He looked at him and nodded without saying anything.

It seemed Lin Qing was still ignoring Mu Li. She allowed him to hug her without any resistance but looked absent-minded.

Mu Li noticed that the moment he hugged Lin Qing, she trembled slightly.

Was his touch so unpleasant?

Mu Li was extremely upset.

“What are you talking about? Having a pleasant chat with my wife?”

Mu Li’s tone was exceptionally cold.

“Nothing much. We were just catching up with each other.”

Chen Qudong forced a smile. Finding that Lin Qing did not respond to Mu Li, Chen Qudong said, “I still have something to do. So glad to see you again.”

His embarrassment could not be concealed.

Lin Qing looked at Chen Qudong leaving and disappearing.

Before she regained her senses, a voice came overhead—

“You like him so much?”

“Huh?”

Lin Qing looked up at him and got confused.

Mu Li got even angrier because he thought that Lin Qing was pretending to be stupid. But he could not catch a trace of deception from her clear eyes. Therefore, He was not as angry.

“It’s OK for you to like him.

But I feel embarrassed if you show your affection obviously in front of me.”

Mu Li thought of a reason to be angry.

“Huh?”

Lin Qing still didn’t understand his words.

Now Mu Li didn’t know how to warn her not to get close to other men.

After Mu Li stopped saying anything, Lin Qing said, “Why did you do that just now?”

Her eyes revealed a hint of anger.

“Do what?”

“You …” Lin Qing complained, “You hugged me for no reason.”

This was the first time she said something like this.

But—

Did he need a reason to hug his wife?

“So?”

Mu Li asked back.

His expression was not serious in Lin Qing’s eyes.

“So stop doing this in the future.”

Lin Qing left his arms and moved to the side.

Lin Qing was rarely aggressive like this.

Mu Li narrowed his eyes and pulled her back into his arms abruptly. He looked down at her bright eyes.

He spat it out, “Impossible.”

“Why?”

Lin Qing was forced to lean forward, and spoke to him in his face.

Mu Li stared at her harder.

Although they were in the corridor at the corner of the hall, their intimacy attracted the attention of others from time to time.

However, most of the people who visited this place were never gossipers. Even if they recognized Mu Li, they wouldn’t cause a scene.

“Because,” Mu Li said coldly, “you are my woman.”

Mu Li was claiming that Lin Qing belonged to him.

“No, I’m not,”

Lin Qing retorted, “I don’t deserve this title.”

Now Mu Li sensed slight melancholy in her tone. Although there was anger on her face, she looked aggrieved.

So he couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”

Lin Qing looked away from him and answered calmly after a long time, “You ignored me. There was no point in being your woman.”

Mu Li became even more confused at her answer.

When did he ignored her?

On the contrary, she was the one who had always ignored him.

“I don’t understand. How did I ignore you?”

Mu Li raised her jaw, forcing her to look straight into his eyes.

Lin Qing was slightly stunned.

His eyes were … very attractive.

“You … did not call me after leaving home for so long. Up until now, I still don’t know what you’ve been out for and why you’ve been away for so long,”

Lin Qing paused and continued, “Didn’t you ignore me?”

Such dissatisfaction and complaint should have been expressed forcefully. However, Lin Qing put it in a calm and dull way.

Now, she sounded like a woman who was upset about her husband’s going away for a long time.

Looking at Lin Qing, Mu Li felt somewhat guilty.

“That is why?”

He wasn’t sure and asked for confirmation.

Lin Qing nodded slowly.

So Lin Qing …

Was having a “cold war” with him over this matter.

But Mu Li hadn’t noticed it at all.

No wonder Lin Qing was aggrieved.

For Mu Li, it was nothing special for him to deliver assignments back to the army. So he did not talk too much about it with Lin Qing.

And he was too busy to call her.

Looking at Lin Qing, who was forced into his arms, Mu Li felt embarrassed.

“Sorry. It did not occur to me at all.”

Mu Li sincerely apologized, let Lin Qing go, and gently touched Lin Qing’s cheek.

Lin Qing’s face flushed.

“Mm … then good for you to know it now.”

Lin Qing murmured.

Mu Li liked the shy look of Lin Qing. He cannot help but kiss her on the cheek.

To make up for hurting her feelings, Mu Li shared all of his agenda in the army with Lin Qing in the next few minutes.

Lin Qing did not quite understand every part of it. But she did get it that Mu Li was on an urgent mission.

After Mu Li finished explaining, the “war” between them was over. They looked at each other at the same time, perhaps because of telepathy.

Mu Li raised his head and rubbed Lin Qing’s black hair. He said gently, “I will definitely call you in time in future.”

Lin Qing leaned into Mu Li’s arms and nodded. “Deal.”

Mu Li got closer to her face and kissed her soft lips.

The atmosphere around them got hot.

Lin Qing cannot stand on her feet and leaned against Mu Li, with her small fists pressing against Mu Li’s chest.

His heartbeat was so strong that Lin Qing felt butterflies in her stomach.

“Oh, it’s our Commander Mu!”

A person stood behind them and commented. He crossed his arms and acted as if he was to enjoy a fabulous show.

Upon hearing the voice, Mu Li continued to suck hard on Lin Qing’s lips calmly before slowly letting go of the blushed Lin Qing.

“Shan Rong, why don’t you stay inside?”

Mu Li raised his eyebrows.

“It’s so boring to stay inside. What do you say, lady?”

Shan Rong smiled, avoided Mu Li’s gaze and looked straight at Lin Qing.

Lin Qing looked down. Having no idea that Shan Rong was speaking with her, she stared at her toes and didn’t say anything.

“This didn’t work with her.”

Mu Li smiled and looked at Lin Qing with admiration.

Shan Rong was curious.

“Hey! Wait! What’s your name?”

Shan Rong muttered to himself and then said, “Got it.

Lin Qing. Can I introduce myself to you?”

After hearing her name, Lin Qing raised her head. She was dumbfounded.

This daze surprised Shan Rong, who was eager to introduce himself.

“Why are you introducing yourself?”

Lin Qing murmured.

“He probably got excited.”

Mu Li made the excuse, smiling.

This was obviously an excuse to tease Shan Rong. However, Lin Qing took it seriously and asked with concern, “Is there something wrong with your stomach?”

Shan Rong was totally shocked.

“No. He’s just …” Mu Li examined Shan Rong as he spoke and raised his eyebrows. “A little bit stupid.”

“Oh,” Lin Qing seemed to get the true answer.

Shan Rong was totally defeated by them.

What tricks were they playing?

“Didn’t you invite us to dinner? Why are you still standing here?”

Mu Li “nicely” reminded Shan Rong.

Shan Rong wanted to say something but stopped.

He suffered much both economically and mentally today.

He didn’t understand why Mu Li suddenly got married.

After meeting Lin Qing, he felt he got the answer.

This woman was indeed extraordinary.

Not long after they were invited to the VIP lounge, the delicacies were served one after another.

The waiter introduced the implied meaning of each dish.

However, in Lin Qing’s eyes, it was just a plate of food to be taken in. She totally ignored what the waiter had said.

Mu Li was talking nonstop with Shan Rong. Lin Qing felt that Mu Li was easy in front of Shan Rong, and a little different from usual.

She did not give too much care. When she was about to continue to enjoy the meal, she saw a small bowl of hot noodles in the beautiful blue and white porcelain bowl.

Lin Qing felt there were sharp gazes at her.

But it was Shan Rong.

Shan Rong looked at Lin Qing intentionally and took a glance at the small bowl of noodles beside her occasionally. It looked like that he wanted to say something but finally decided to give up. Instead, he just smiled.
