Chapter 683 The Child Bride's Delusional Dreams (21)

Mu Zhou waited at the elevator entrance, while Shang Henian hurriedly ran back and returned shortly afterward.

When the two went downstairs, Grandpa Shang and the others had already left.

Since everyone knew that Mu Zhou and Shang Henian had arrived in the same car, they didn't wait for them.

Mu Zhou instinctively felt that Lu Lin hadn't left yet, so he took out his phone to call him.

Unexpectedly, Shang Henian suddenly blocked her way.

He pulled out a large box from somewhere, opened it hesitantly, and showed it to her:

"Give."

Inside were a pair of jade bracelets, a pair of jade earrings, and a necklace.

It was the jadeite rough that Shang Henian gave Mu Zhou as a birthday gift last time.

Mu Zhou didn't have the connections to handle it, so he gave it to Shang Henian.

I didn't expect him to get it made so quickly.

"Try it on, I think it goes well with your outfit today."

Upon seeing Mu Zhou's cheongsam today, Shang Henian immediately thought of this set of jewelry and had it delivered right away.

I rushed as fast as I could, and finally managed to give it to her before I got home.

That's why he made up an excuse to keep her here.

Mu Zhou looked at the crystal-clear jade and really liked it, so he took out the bracelet and tried it on.

The emerald green color doesn't look mature at all, especially when paired with the pale yellow cheongsam; it feels like a perfectly matched combination.

In particular, Mu Zhou has very fair skin.

The clear bracelet swayed on her fair and slender wrist, adding a unique charm.

Shang Henian stared intently, and for some reason, his mouth felt dry.

He coughed lightly:

"You can try them all."

Mu Zhou didn't touch anything else:

"As for birthday gifts, this bracelet is already quite valuable. You can keep the rest."

"How can I say that? These are all gifts for you..."

Just as Shang Henian was about to speak again, Lu Lin's uniquely cool voice suddenly rang out behind him.

"What are you talking about?"

Shang Henian turned his head and looked at him in surprise:

"Uncle, you haven't left yet?"

Lu Lin nodded at him, "Mm." Then he naturally stood next to Mu Zhou.

His gaze fell on her wrist, and he whispered:

"A new bracelet?"

Mu Zhou explained:

“He gave me a whole piece of jade for my birthday last time, and now it’s been made into these pieces, but I think they’re too precious and I don’t want to keep them all.”

Lu Lin then looked at the jewelry box in Shang Henian's hand.

He picked up the bracelet, slowly examined it against the light, and nodded.

"The quality is indeed very good, and it suits you very well. If you like it, just take it all."

Seeing that his uncle was also speaking up for him, Shang Henian grinned and was about to persuade Mu Zhou to accept the bracelet again when he saw his uncle put it down and turn to Mu Zhou, saying:

"Don't feel guilty. As compensation, I will have someone find another piece of jade to give to him."

Mu Zhou's eyes lit up as she touched the bracelet:

"Really? Then I'll take it."

"Ah."

Lu Lin ruffled her hair, then took the jewelry box from Shang Henian and said to him with a normal expression:

"He Nian has good taste; thank you for your hard work."

Shang Henian's smile froze, and he was somewhat at a loss.

"Uncle, why, why did you..."

He was somewhat at a loss for words.

Although he was slow to react, he could still sense that something was wrong with what was happening before him.

Mu Zhou accepted his gift, but they were not related. Why should her uncle return the gift on her behalf?

Moreover, Mu Zhou listens to her uncle so much.

It seems like I feel at ease spending my uncle's money, but I feel burdened spending his.

Clearly, he and Mu Zhou are closer.

And why did her uncle rub her head? He's never done that before...

Uncle is, after all, a man, and men and women should not touch each other. Even if he considers Mu Zhou a junior, he should not have made such intimate gestures.

Shang Henian's mind was in a mess.

"Let's go."

Mu Zhou was already urging him, so he had no choice but to leave first.

But when he looked up, he saw a scene that made his face turn extremely ugly.

Mu Zhou was actually holding Lu Lin's arm!

Did she even realize that Lu Lin, even if he was an elder, was still a member of the opposite sex?

It's a man!

Shang Henian's mind was completely blank, not considering any other possibilities.

Because other possibilities seemed even more far-fetched to him.

That's absolutely impossible.

With a dark expression, he walked to Mu Zhou's side, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Unfortunately, Mu Zhou didn't even look at him.

Even after they reached the gate, he said to him:

"You go back first, we'll go back later."

"You guys? Why did you ride back in your uncle's car?!"

Shang Henian instantly bristled.

Mu Zhou tilted his head and answered matter-of-factly:

"Because he bought me a gift."

She assumed that Shang Henian must have already realized the extent of her and Lu Lin's obvious behavior.

So I didn't try to hide it anymore and just got into his car to go back.

She never expected that Shang Henian would be so oblivious.

The car stopped, and Mu Zhou waved to him:

"Let's go first."

Shang Henian just watched helplessly as she got into Lu Lin's car.

Before getting into the car, Lu Lin glanced at him again, his eyes flickering with a complex emotion that he couldn't quite make out.

However, my heart is feeling extremely uncomfortable.

*

In the car, Mu Zhou looked at Lu Lin:

Where is my sesame seed cake?

Lu Lin opened the lid and took out a paper-wrapped bag.

The moment you open it, a wonderful aroma fills the air.

Mu Zhou's thumb twitched, and he took a bite.

It tastes really good.

There were too many elders at the meal, and she didn't get enough to eat, so this is a good opportunity for an extra snack.

Lu Lin watched as her cheeks puffed out, and placed one hand on her lower back, unconsciously stroking it slowly.

After she finished eating, he handed her a bottle of water and then said in a low voice:

"I thought you didn't want anyone to know about you and me."

"I don't want to, I don't know how to face Grandpa Shang."

Lu Lin's eyes narrowed slightly:

"Then why didn't you hide it from Shang Henian?"

Why not keep it from him?

Afraid of hurting him?

Almost everyone who knows Mu Zhouming is in love with Shang Henian for more than ten years.

Lu Lin originally thought he could not care.

After all, that was Mu Zhou's past.

Moreover, she was young at that time and had experienced so many bad things. When she suddenly entered a new environment and had someone to protect her, it was normal for her to like and rely on them.

These are just young people's crushes, nothing to worry about, don't take them to heart.

Lu Lin is so much older than her, what hasn't he experienced? What is this kind of relationship without any support?

Lu Lin understood all these principles.

He understood, but when he saw Shang Henian finally get it and start trying to please Mu Zhou, he still panicked.

He was afraid Mu Zhou would regret it.

I fear she will ultimately be unable to let go of the love she has had for over a decade.

His body was tense, and a dark, burning intensity surged in his eyes.

Mu Zhou noticed his emotional fluctuations and moved closer to him, blinking as she looked closely.

Are you jealous?

She asked the question frankly.

Lu Lin also frankly admitted:

"Yes, Mu Zhou, I'm jealous. I'm very envious."

"I'm jealous that you've loved him for so many years."

His voice was dry, carrying a hint of pain.

Why didn't he meet Mu Zhou sooner?

An unprecedented sense of defeat overwhelmed him.

Mu Zhou saw all of this clearly.

She suddenly moved closer, her breath almost mingling with his, and in the next instant, her lips pressed against the corner of his mouth.
