Wrong marriage! The black-bellied uncle wants a legitimate status every day

Lin Mingmo paused for a moment, then reacted and leaned forward to punch Sheng Yuan's arm, "What nonsense!"

Sheng Yuan arched his brows, staring at Lin Mingmo's flushed face, and said with a smile, "I'm just giving you a heads up. I'm afraid someone might be sold out and still help others count the money."

"Is it necessary to put someone under house arrest in this deep forest for a family reunion?"

Sheng Yuan looked back at the Far East sanatorium with a bright appearance, and thought of some rumors, and his deep eyes narrowed.

After hearing Sheng Yuan's words, the uneasy feeling of being completely cut off from the outside world in the past few days surged in Lin Mingmo's heart again.

It's a bit weird, but...

Lin Mingmo pouted, feeling a little unhappy. "I know this is a little unusual, and you may not be able to imagine it, but Ying Lan is indeed my uncle, and Ying Jing is also my mother... He is my relative, and he is also a patient..."

"Perhaps he was not thoughtful in some aspects, but we shouldn't blame him too harshly..."

As she spoke, Lin Mingmo took out a photo from her pocket and handed it to Sheng Yuan.

"Look, this is my mother! It can't be fake!" Lin Mingmo said in a firm tone.

Sheng Yuan raised his eyebrows and took a closer look. The woman in the photo was wearing a Western dress, which was classical and elegant, with a bright smile and a face like a fairy.

She is indeed 80% similar to Lin Mingmo.

Perhaps because of the time filter, he even felt that the woman in the photo looked better.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder Lin Mingmo is so unwavering in her belief.

Sheng Yuan raised the corner of his lips and raised his hand to take the photo to take a closer look.

But Lin Mingmo didn't give him this chance. She quickly withdrew her hand and put the photo back into her pocket.

She brought this photo out secretly.

She could see that her uncle had a deep affection for her mother. He treasured many photos of her mother, including some of her wearing an exquisite and luxurious dress, some of her wearing daily clothes, her smile as gentle as the spring breeze, and many family photos.

It can be seen that my mother grew up in love and is the apple of the family's eye.

Lin Mingmo pressed the pocket where the photo was placed, and her heart was beating slightly.

Although it is a lifelong regret for her that she cannot see her mother in this lifetime, at least most of her mother's short life was carefree, happy and joyful, which is also a comfort to Lin Mingmo.

Sheng Yuan tilted his head and looked quietly at the faint smile on Lin Mingmo's face.

It's rare to see her looking so relaxed.

In my impression, Lin Mingmo's brows were always slightly furrowed, as if there was a trace of unrelieved sorrow.

After a while, Sheng Yuan finally said in a low voice, "Fasten your seat belts, we're leaving."

Lin Mingmo did as she was told.

The sky became completely dark.

The Maybach drove very slowly on the winding mountain road.

Lin Mingmo leaned her elbows on the car door, looking at the mountain road illuminated by the headlights, her thoughts drifting.

Sheng Yuan made a phone call and said calmly, "Everything is going well. You can withdraw your people now."

Mo Zheng was halfway up the mountain with people from the security company to pick them up.

If anything happens on the mountain, Sheng Yuan will send a signal and they will rush up.

Sheng Yuan's words caught Lin Mingmo's attention. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Sheng Yuan, but saw a gentle smile on his exquisite face.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Mingmo was puzzled.

"Oh... I was just surprised to think that I could take you away so smoothly today."

"I already told you he's my uncle... he's not some terrible monster!" Lin Mingmo muttered, "You've probably watched too many police and gangster movies!"

Sheng Yuan looked straight ahead, the curve of his mouth becoming wider.

"It's not him, it's you." Sheng Yuan said quietly, "Lin Mingmo, this is the first time you've chosen me so firmly. I'm flattered."

There was no struggle or hesitation, no anger or embarrassment, and no angry words.

But he came and wanted to take her away, so she followed him.

It was obviously a very small thing, but it moved Sheng Yuan so much.

"Hmm? Uh..." Lin Mingmo was stunned for a moment. It took her a while to realize the ambiguous meaning of this sentence.

She felt a little embarrassed and a little irritated.

Lin Mingmo opened the car window a little, and the cool mountain night breeze blew in, blowing away the heat in her body.

"It's not because of you!" Lin Mingmo retorted weakly, "I wanted to go back anyway, and since you're here, it's just on the way..."

"So I'm just a driver." Sheng Yuan chuckled.

Lin Mingmo nodded.

"Then go back..." Sheng Yuan's calm tone finally showed a ripple, "Is the person you want to see Mo Zheng?"

His grip on the steering wheel suddenly tightened, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

"Ah? Uh..." Lin Mingmo frowned, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, she turned her head to look at Sheng Yuan's profile and tentatively replied, "I guess so."

Sheng Yuan's mouth dropped and his expression became serious.

Lin Mingmo's heart tightened, and she quickly explained: "After all, he is my boss. I should explain to him that I was absent from work for a few days."

"Oh? Really?" Sheng Yuan responded calmly, "Whoever you wanted to see... Sorry, you can't see him."

Lin Mingmo shrank back and said nothing more.

She didn't want to anger Sheng Yuan in the deep mountains and forests late at night.

What if I really piss him off and he gets thrown into the woods to feed the wild animals?

Along the way, Lin Mingmo was very quiet and obedient.

Driving out of the mountains and heading towards the bustling city, after passing several intersections, Lin Mingmo finally couldn't help but ask, "Sheng Yuan, where are you taking me?"

She was sure that this route was not to Qianyi Dormitory, nor to Yujingwan, nor to the Sheng family's old house.

"If I say I'm going to take you to a place only I know, lock you up, and not let you leave..."

He deliberately lowered his voice, mixing with the whistling sound of the wind outside the window, like the devil's low hum.

"...Do you dare?"

Sheng Yuan stepped on the brakes and the car gradually slowed down and stopped on the side of the road.

At this time, Sheng Yuan turned his head, and his deep eyes stared straight into Lin Mingmo's eyes.

Lin Mingmo subconsciously shrank back, a hint of fear in her eyes.

"If you're scared... you can get off the car now." Sheng Yuan said in a low voice.

His mood was calm, and he tapped the steering wheel lightly between his fingers.

"I……"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...

The sound of my heartbeat drowned out everything else.

Lin Mingmo looked back into Sheng Yuan's eyes, as if staring into a vortex, her reason and consciousness being swallowed up bit by bit.

She saw lingering attachment, rising desire, and... a little bit of temptation.

Suddenly, Lin Mingmo understood.

Sheng Yuan was testing whether he would choose him again.

His previous complacency was refuted by Lin Mingmo, so he stopped the car here and gave her a chance to choose.

She can leave or stay.

This time, it's not about anything else, just him.

Lin Mingmo felt a surge of warmth in her heart, her breathing became tight, and her eyes became red.

For the first time, she saw the fragile and sensitive heart beneath Sheng Yuan's solid and tough exterior.

"Um..." Lin Mingmo stretched out her hand tremblingly and tugged at Sheng Yuan's sleeve, "Promise...you won't eat me."
