Chapter 98 -  Kiss (“WanWan, do you really not understand what I am saying or are you just pretending?”) (2)    

Mu ZhenYu paused for a second and, with the corners of his lips raised up high, he grabbed her by her wrist before she was able to run away. 

Just when the two were stuck at an anxious stalemate, noises came from the foyer area. 

Xu WanZhi turned her head and looked over at the source of the noise and saw a large-framed middle-aged man with a head full of white head walked inside the house. 

There was a lot of similarities between the man and Mu ZhenYu. 

The name Mu XueLin popped into her head immediately. Xu WanZhi brushed off Mu ZhenYu’s hand immediately only to have her shoulder pressed back into his chest again the next second. 

Mu XueLin casually changed into his slippers and, the second that he looked up, also discovered the two of them standing there in their sleepwear. As he looked up and down Xu WanZhi, an odd look crossed his slightly older looking corners of his eyes. 

Xu WanZhi was the first to break the silent. She gently and politely said, “Mr. Mu.”

“Miss Xu WanZhi?” Mu XueLin loosened up his necktie as he walked over to the two of them. “I think the old madam had mentioned that she had invited you over today to watch TV and chitchat with her. Thank you.”

Xu WanZhi shook her head. “Don’t mention it.”

She looked up at Mu ZhenYu then looked away again. Oddly, even though Mu ZhenYu and Mu XiYuan were half-brothers, but Mu XiYuan looked completely different then the two of them. 

Mu XiYuan looked more like his mother Wang LiZhen. The two of them looked almost like clones of each other. 

“Here I thought you won’t be back because you are too ashamed to show up in front of me.” Mu ZhenYu chuckled a few times sarcastically. “How disappointing.”

A slight hint of embarrassment crossed the corners of Mu XueLin’s eyes before he recollected himself as though he had been here many times. Casting Mu ZhenYu one more look, he walked upstairs and into his room. 

He had not forgotten to say polite to Xu WanZhi before he left, “Get some rest, Miss Xu.”

After Mu XueLin had gone upstairs, Xu WanZhi and Mu ZhenYu exchanged a look before they both looked down, each occupied by their own thoughts.

A little while later, Mu ZhenYu spoke again. “He had always wanted me to marry Liang ZhiQuan as though it was his dying wish. Why was he so polite to you today? That was odd.”

Xu WanZhi had some idea about that from reading the original novel. Mu XueLin was intimidated by Mu ZhenYu. He wanted him to marry someone who’d hold him back, not someone who’d help him along. 

Which was why he had his eyes on the daughter of the bankrupted Liang’s and insisted on him marrying her. 

Now that Liang ZhiQuan had made a comeback with Qin Zheng’s help and had no chance of getting back together with Mu ZhenYu, Mu XueLin must think that someone like Xu WanZhi, a little actress with no family backing and no background, was a good match for Mu ZhenYu. 

In any case, a better option than any girls from a prestigious family set up by the old madam. 

Preferably, he was so charmed by this little “demon” that he’d stop fighting over the family business with his little brother. 

That must be what was going through Mu XueLin’s mind. 

Xu WanZhi smiled but didn’t say it out loud. She merely said nonchalantly, “Perhaps because I don’t pose any threats to him.”

“Party pooper.” Mu ZhenYu lowered his head, pinched her on her cheek slightly and said, “Go and get some rest.”

She was only too happy when Mu ZhenYu let her return to her room. She nodded immediately and quickly turned and walked toward the guest bedroom. 

Right when she had reached the bedroom door, she could hear him talking softly to himself, “Why isn’t there a thunderstorm tonight?”

Recalling how she had forced her way into his bedroom the first night she had transmigrated over because of the thunderstorm, Xu WanZhi knew why he said what he said. 

Licking her lips that he kissed, she quickly opened the door and hid inside the guest bedroom.
