Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Jiang Xing had always harbored ulterior motives towards Mu Zhou, and Mu Zhou naturally noticed this.

So some time ago, she formally rejected him once again.

Jiang Xing was deeply saddened.

If things aren't going well in love, you can't afford to be unsuccessful at work.

He channeled his grief into strength and threw himself into his work.

I've been away on business trips and studying for the past month or two and only recently returned.

She was planning to have hot pot with her friends, but when she walked in, she unexpectedly saw Lu Lin.

His private self was clearly a side of him that Jiang Xing had never seen before.

Lu Lin was wearing a black shirt today, the style of which wasn't very professional. He had rolled up his sleeves and only unbuttoned one of his shirts.

His composed and serious demeanor carries a hint of ambiguous nonchalance.

In particular, he was wiping the sweat off the girl opposite him with a gentle expression.

The movements were careful and gentle, as if afraid of hurting the girl in the slightest.

That's absolutely unbelievable.

I never expected that Lu Lin, who is so upright and composed, would be so considerate and sweet when it comes to love.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Xing walked around the store, wanting to see what kind of girl Lu Lin liked.

He settled his friend in and then quietly went over there himself.

The girl looked very young from behind, like a student.

Looking at Lu Lin, who was always meddling in everything, wiping the girl's sweat and handing her things, it turned out he was a father figure boyfriend.

But when he circled around to the front and saw the girl's face clearly, the curiosity and gossip on his face froze on his lips.

...Mu Zhou?!

It was Mu Zhou!

He stared so wide-eyed that he didn't even hear the waiter asking him to pass.

"Excuse me, sir, could you please move aside?"

The waiter's voice grew much louder, drawing curious glances from several nearby tables, including Mu Zhou and Lu Lin.

Six eyes facing each other.

At this moment, neither hiding nor greeting was an option, so Jiang Xing could only stand there awkwardly.

Lu Lin glanced at him and calmly nodded in acknowledgment.

Mu Zhou smiled at him.

Jiang Xing had no choice but to bite the bullet and come over to say hello.

"Director Lu, Mu Zhou, it's been a long time."

"Hmm," Lu Lin replied without changing his expression, and even had the mood to chat with him about work for a few minutes. "How was your trip to City A for training? Did you gain anything?"

Jiang Xing immediately tensed up and gave a brief reply.

After the initial pleasantries, Lu Lin casually introduced Mu Zhou:

"This is my girlfriend, Mu Zhou. You know her too."

They were calm and composed, as if this was something that didn't need to be shocked.

Mu Zhou smiled and waved in response:

"Senior."

These two words put Jiang Xing in a very difficult position, and even without looking at Lu Lin's expression, he could imagine the coldness between his brows.

So he quickly made an excuse and left.

Mu Zhou watched his retreating figure, and couldn't help but smile.

Lu Lin's eyes darkened for a moment, but his voice revealed nothing:

"what happened?"

Mu Zhou sighed dramatically:

"I feel like we've been trying to keep our relationship a secret for nothing; it's almost common knowledge now."

Lu Lin's hand holding the chopsticks froze instantly.

He always knew that Mu Zhou didn't want anyone to know they were dating.

Unlike when everyone knew she liked Shang Henian, she always held back when she was in a relationship with him.

Lu Lin's heart tightened, and a dense, persistent pain spread through him.

He swallowed hard, his expression remaining impassive.

"If you don't like it, I'll make sure he doesn't tell anyone."

Lu Lin restrained himself from saying those words.

He didn't want to put pressure on Mu Zhou.

But Mu Zhou gave him a reproachful look:

"I think I should find an opportunity to be honest with Grandpa Shang about this."

But then again, what will happen to how Grandpa Shang and Lu Lin address each other after he finds out about this?

They call each other "uncle" and "grandpa"...

Or should we each do our own thing?

While Mu Zhou was pondering this question, Lu Lin was already stunned, as if he hadn't realized what she meant.

When Mu Zhou told him about this decision, he said:

"You mean, you want to go public with our relationship?"

He rarely had such a bewildered moment, and Mu Zhou was itching to see it.

On a whim, she leaned over and touched his hair.

A little hard.

She withdrew her hand:

"Yeah, how about we go back together tonight?"

Happiness came so suddenly that Lu Lin was momentarily at a loss.

One second he was still feeling anxious and uncertain, the next second he had a legitimate and respectable status.

*

In the study, Shang Zhen looked at Lu Lin and Mu Zhou holding hands, his expression somewhat stiff.

Even though he had experienced many ups and downs in his life, he was still shocked by what he saw.

Lu Lin, without changing his expression, pulled Mu Zhou to stand in front of Shang Zhen:

"Grandpa, Mu Zhou and I are dating."

Lu Lin had called her "uncle" for over 20 years, but after falling in love with Mu Zhou, he lowered his status and started calling her "grandpa."

This caused Shang Zhen to choke on his saliva and cough uncontrollably.

"grandfather……"

Mu Zhou quickly shook off Lu Lin's hand and went forward to pat his grandfather's back.

After Shang Zhen calmed down, he looked at Lu Lin again.

His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something but stopped, and his face showed neither rage nor anything else.

He just kept a sullen face and didn't say anything.

Lu Lin took the initiative to speak:

“I know you’ve always been worried that Mu Zhou will be all alone in the future and want to find someone she can rely on.”

With a serious expression and ramrod straight posture, he began to elaborate on his strengths one by one, as if he were giving a report on an important plan.

Finally, he said:

"I don't think there's a better choice than me, and more importantly, Mu Zhou likes me too."

After hearing this, Shang Zhen was speechless.

Lu Lin had thought of almost everything he could think of.

With such thorough preparation, Shang Zhen had no excuse to object.

Reason told him that Lu Lin was a very good person to entrust with his affairs.

But emotionally, he had never really considered this possibility.

For a moment, an eerie silence fell over the scene.

After a long two minutes, Shang Zhen finally processed the fact.

He repeated with emotion:

"That's fine, that's fine too."

In an instant, she remembered Lu Lin's words "Grandpa" and his tense expression, and couldn't help but smile.

Indeed, there is always something that can subdue another.

Even Lu Lin, who always seems to have everything under control and is always strategizing, has moments of tension and anxiety.

Now, looking back at his explanation of his advantages, it's clear he was extremely nervous.

It's just a good disguise.

It seems that he truly cared about Mu Zhou.

but……

Shang Zhen looked at Lu Lin seriously:

"It's an undeniable fact that you're a generation older than Xiaozhou. Have you prepared for the potential criticism you might face? I don't want this to affect Xiaozhou, and also..."

Shang Zhen paused for a moment, then said:

"About your family..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Lin immediately understood his meaning and assured him:

"I understand. I will handle these matters well and will absolutely not affect Mu Zhou."

Lu Lin comes from an extraordinary family, and his family has high hopes for him.

His marriage must be considered by all parties involved.

Shang Zhen truly loved Mu Zhou and didn't want Mu Zhou to suffer pressure from the Lu family.

However, with Lu Lin's assurance, he felt relieved.

He believed that Lu Lin had the ability and the courage to do so.
