Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce
Chapter 673 The Child Bride's Delusional Dreams (12)
Lu Lin concealed the darkness in his eyes and took out a royal blue velvet box:
"Happy birthday."
He said.
Mu Zhou took it and asked, "Thank you, Uncle. Can I open it now?"
"of course."
Mu Zhou opened the box, inside lay a pearl and diamond brooch.
She held it in her hand, looking at it with obvious liking in her eyes.
Lu Lin's gaze swept down to her neck.
She happened to be wearing a pearl necklace there.
He was in a strangely good mood, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"It seems my gift suits you perfectly today."
Mu Zhou slightly closed his fingers, holding the brooch in his palm, and nodded gently.
"Thank you, uncle."
The sweet and soft voice reached Lu Lin's ears, making his throat tighten slightly.
Upon hearing Mu Zhou say that Grandpa Shang was waiting for him, Lu Lin nodded, his voice hoarse:
"Then I'll go first."
*
Shang Henian stayed up all night playing games with his friends yesterday, and only remembered that it was Mu Zhou's birthday when he woke up at noon.
I took another nap in the afternoon, then changed my clothes, and only came out after all that was done.
After greeting his friends, he remembered his gift and began scanning the room for Mu Zhou.
Soon, he saw that familiar figure, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
He rarely saw Mu Zhou dressed up.
She was always so low-key, which meant that even though Shang Henian knew she wasn't bad-looking, he wouldn't pay special attention to her appearance.
But at this moment, in his eyes, Mu Zhou was like a white swan, and even just standing there, she seemed to be surrounded by stars.
He stood there for a few seconds, feeling inexplicably flustered.
In particular, Mu Zhou saw him.
Her doe-like eyes stared straight at him.
Shang Henian rubbed the area around his heart.
A little uncomfortable.
As Mu Zhou approached and drew closer, Shang Henian stiffened completely.
So much so that he forgot to even say happy birthday.
It was only when Mu Zhou asked, looking disappointed, that I remembered:
"I know Brother Henian doesn't like me, so he was late for my birthday party and didn't want to attend, but he won't even say happy birthday to me?"
Shang Henian opened his mouth, paused for a moment, and then said:
"Happy birthday."
His voice was low, and upon closer listening, one could detect a hint of shyness.
Mu Zhou was quite content after hearing his "Happy Birthday".
"Thank you, Brother Henian."
Then wait for his gift.
She knew the housekeeper would make the preparations.
Shang Henian, however, thought of something else.
He touched his nose and suddenly felt like he was a piece of trash.
He knew it was Mu Zhou's birthday, but he still stayed up all night, which caused him to be late.
When the time came, all she had to do was say "Happy Birthday," and she was perfectly content.
He couldn't help but think that Mu Zhou must have been really heartbroken about what happened at the small hotel last time.
I thought he really liked the school beauty, so he lost his mind and acted like a different person.
Forget it, considering how much she likes him, he won't provoke her anymore.
Shang Henian touched his pants pocket.
The gift inside was prepared for him by the butler; he didn't even know what it was.
The butler knew he definitely wouldn't pick out a gift for Mu Zhou, so he would choose one in advance every year to avoid being scolded by Grandpa Shang.
Thinking about all this, Shang Henian suddenly felt reluctant to give Mu Zhou this perfunctory, unthoughtful gift.
He remembered something, and his eyes lit up.
"Wait for me, I'll go get you your gift."
Shang Henian quickly went upstairs and returned to his room, where he found several boxes on his desk.
The last time Mu Zhou was silently angry because of the notebook blind box, he remembered the brand name and inexplicably went to the mall and bought a whole bag of them.
But after buying it, he felt like he was crazy, wondering why he bought such a useless thing.
Then they were piled up here.
Now, it has come in very handy.
He came downstairs carrying a gift bag, a bright smile on his face.
He presented the item to Mu Zhou as if it were a treasure.
"Here, this is for you."
Mu Zhou took it with a puzzled look, and when he saw the familiar packaging bag, he had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, nothing unexpected happened when the bag was opened.
Looking at the familiar blind boxes inside, her lips twitched.
Mu Zhou knew very well that his gifts were always prepared by the butler in previous years.
The housekeeper has a good eye and knows how to be tactful; he always gives her valuable gifts that match the young girl's aesthetic.
The housekeeper must have prepared something this year as well.
I don't know what got into Shang Henian, but instead of giving the housekeeper a gift, he gave her a blind box.
The housekeeper, who happened to witness this scene, also became secretly anxious.
This young master really doesn't understand social etiquette. It's fine to give him blind boxes as a gift to please him, but you can't only give him that.
What's more, it was a gift for someone's 20th birthday.
Moreover, Miss Mu Zhou likes notebook blind boxes and probably has almost collected them all herself, so this is just icing on the cake.
He remembered that a while ago, Miss Mu Zhou had brought two large bags to open.
The butler shook his head inwardly.
Shang Henian was in a great mood, feeling that he had given Mu Zhou a gift that touched his heart.
Mu Zhou smiled and expressed his gratitude as usual:
"Thank you, Brother Henian."
"Don't be too touched. If you like it, I'll buy it for you again later."
Mu Zhou's lips stiffened, and he forced a smile as he refused:
"no need."
Shang Henian, however, thought she was just shy.
On the other side, Grandpa Shang and Lu Lin came out of the side hall, still talking to each other.
Grandpa Shang looked up and saw Mu Zhou standing with Shang Henian not far away.
With a smile on his face, he couldn't help but say:
"These two children do look very well-matched standing together."
Lu Lin also looked over, his eyes instantly darkening.
Not far away, Mu Zhou, dressed in a white dress, stood beside Shang Henian, who was dressed in a suit. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes shimmering with a gentle ripple as she gazed intently at the man beside her.
Shang Henian, who had been impatient, now had a smile on his lips.
There weren't many intimate gestures, yet there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity between them.
At first glance, they look like a newlywed couple at a wedding, taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the crowd to whisper intimate words.
Standing there, they were the epitome of a perfect couple.
Grandpa Shang chuckled and joked:
"I almost thought I was attending a wedding for two kids, Xiao Lu, don't you think?"
Lu Lin remained silent. Fortunately, Grandpa Shang had only said it casually and didn't care about his answer.
He knew Lu Lin's personality; he was only focused on work and had no interest in anything else.
At this moment, Lu Lin was looking in Mu Zhou's direction, his face gloomy and his whole body exuding coldness.
Mu Zhou and Shang Henian both saw them come out, so they walked over together.
Grandpa Shang noticed the gift bag that Mu Zhou hadn't yet put down and asked curiously:
"This is……"
Mu Zhou explained that it was a blind box, a birthday gift from Shang Henian.
Seeing his grandfather's teasing look, Shang Henian felt inexplicably guilty, and he touched his nose:
"She said she liked it, and I just happened to be passing by the mall, so I bought some on the spot."
Mu Zhou smiled faintly, without saying a word.
Standing to the side, Lu Lin saw the familiar gift bag, and a surging, dark fire welled up in his eyes.
He thought of the bag of blind boxes in his car, and a hint of sarcasm crept into his lips.
Yes, why would Mu Zhou care about the blind box he gave her?
She never lacks men who fawn over her.
