She moved a step to the side, closed the door herself, and let Shan Lin enter their home.
Lin Qing usually wears a casual wide-shoulder nightgown at home, and a pair of pink slippers, looking both homely and cute.
Shan Lin didn't react much to her outfit. Perhaps at this moment Lin Qing hadn't noticed that she was meeting people in pajamas.
"Mu Li, isn't he here?" Shan Lin asked after looking around.
Lin Qing was holding the bouquet of flowers, thinking about where to put it, and answered casually, "He is in the study."
Shan Lin smiled faintly, and when he walked to the center of the living room, he pointed to a porcelain vase in front of the bay window and said, "It's nice to put the flowers there."
Lin Qing looked at it and was grateful for his advice.
While putting a dozen blue enchantresses into the bottle, Lin Qing opened his mouth and said, "Have you been here before? It seems like you are quite familiar with this place."
Shan Lin smiled softly again: "It's just that my observation skills are a little better. This is my first time here."
Lin Qing said "oh" and asked him to sit down.
Half a minute later, Lin Qing brought a glass of water over and put it on the coffee table, saying, "Sorry, it seems that we have run out of tea at home."
Shan Lin didn't mind it, but kindly tried to smooth things over for Lin Qing: "It's okay, I don't like drinking tea."
Lin Qingsong took a deep breath and pointed upstairs: "I'll go call Mu Li down, please wait a moment."
Unexpectedly, Shan Lin stopped him and said, "I came to see you today."
"Looking for me?" Lin Qing was startled, and the index finger of his right hand was still pointing at Mu Li's study upstairs.
At this time, Mu Li was studying military tactics in the study and had no idea what was happening downstairs.
"That's right." Shan Lin confirmed Lin Qing's doubt, "It's you."
Lin Qing took back his hand, his eyes seemed to ask: "What do you want from me?"
Shan Lin crossed his fingers and placed them on his chest, and said in a disarming tone: "I came here to ask something about Mu Li."
It turned out to be because of Mu Li.
"Then..." Lin Qing hesitated a little, "What is it?"
She wasn't sure she could help Shan Lin.
There was a light flashing in Shan Lin's eyes, and he smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I won't hurt him. On the contrary, I do this to clear up the misunderstanding with him and become friends again."
"In this case, maybe I can be of some help. What do you need to do?" Lin Qing felt that Shan Lin's eyes were sincere.
Seeing that Lin Qing didn't even ask what the misunderstanding was, Shan Lin paused, just like everyone else who didn't understand her.
There was a trace of hesitation in his heart.
"Why... did you get married?" Shan Lin could never understand this.
Since meeting Lin Qing that day, Shan Lin has done his homework. He investigated Lin Qing privately, but only learned some very common information.
Moreover, it seemed that Lin Qing and Mu Li's lives had basically no intersection until not long ago.
Lin Qing tilted his head: "I wanted to get married, so I got married."
Shan Lin felt that this condition was a little insufficient.
"Then," Shan Lin returned to the previous topic, "Can we keep in touch and tell me where he is at any time?"
He probably felt that his request was a bit excessive, so he added: "No, just let me know something occasionally."
Seeing Shan Lin's expression, Lin Qing didn't know how to refuse.
But then she thought again, Mu Li seemed to hate Shan Lin very much, so if she did this, he would probably be angry, right
While hesitating, Lin Qing heard an indifferent and cold voice behind him: "No."
The person who spoke was Mu Li who was walking down the stairs.
"If you want to get close to my woman in this way, I advise you to stop now." Mu Li walked to Lin Qing and spoke to Shan Lin in a cold attitude.
Shan Lin expected this to happen, so he stood up from the sofa and looked at Mu Li: "I just want to find an opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding between us."
"There is no misunderstanding between us." Mu Li interrupted Shan Lin coldly.
Lin Qing knew that he couldn't interrupt at this time, so he just stood aside and waited for the storm to end.
"You only listened to her one-sided version of what happened back then. Why don't you trust me?" Shan Lin mentioned some past events.
"For you, you don't need anyone's trust." Mu Li became even colder.
However, Lin Qing didn't understand what they were saying because their conversation was too implicit.
She had no choice but to tilt her head and stay quietly aside.
"Or, you never intended for me to explain why she left from the beginning, and you just wanted to use me." Shan Lin jumped to the conclusion without authorization.
Mu Li sneered: "I'm sorry, I'm not that idle yet."
"Lin Qing, what do you think?" Shan Lin looked at Lin Qing suddenly, "If it were you, what would you do?"
"Hmm?" Lin Qing was staring at her toes in a daze. When she looked up, she met Mu Li's eyes.
His eyes are dark and deep.
"I think... maybe I should give it a chance." Lin Qing paused and said.
Shan Lin's brows relaxed. He didn't expect Lin Qing would really speak up for him.
But Lin Qing actually wanted to help Mu Li.
Mu Li felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart. He didn't care what Lin Qing said, but what he couldn't stand was her friendliness towards Shan Lin.
The bitterness was like a vine, climbing up from his heart and tightly wrapping around his breath.
Mu Li did not respond to Lin Qing's statement.
There was just a hint of coldness between his brows, and he immediately ordered them to leave: "Please go back. Also, please don't show up here again in the future."
Shan Lin did not refute.
Shan Lin left, leaving only the bouquet of flowers quietly placed in the vase, a little dazzling in the sunlight.
When Lin Qing heard the sound of the door closing, he felt a little disappointed for a moment.
"I just wanted to help you..." Lin Qing pursed her lips, like a good cat admitting her mistake, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would turn out like this."
Mu Li's eyes narrowed, and he held Lin Qing's chin to make her look at him.
"I want you to remember that you are my woman." Mu Li spoke every word fiercely.
Lin Qing didn't know that her unintentional protection of Shan Lin just now made Mu Li a little jealous.
She met Mu Li's gaze, a little shy: "This... I don't need to be reminded all the time, right?"
"Don't you need it?" Mu Li narrowed his eyes and showed a dangerous look, "Even if I remind you every moment, I'm afraid you will forget it."
Lin Qing shook his head like a rattle: "How could that be? I've always remembered it."
As she spoke, she reached out and rubbed Mu Li's brow.
The tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
Lin Qing was relieved and changed the subject: "I was busy in the kitchen just now, and the meal is not ready yet! I'll go cook, you just wait here obediently, don't go upstairs."
After she finished speaking, she turned and went to the kitchen.
The moment before letting go of Lin Qing, Mu Li caught a glimpse of the bottle of blue roses placed in front of the bay window.
Blue Rose is in full bloom.
"What is that?" Mu Li pulled Lin Qing back to him and held her wrist tightly.
Lin Qing looked toward the bay window and saw Blue Rose.
If she had known this, she should have refused without hesitation.
However, not everyone has the willpower to refuse such a beautiful rose.
Although this was not Lin Qing's original intention.
"It's just a bouquet of flowers." She said casually.
"Did that person give it to you?" Mu Li asked again, looking a little serious.
"That person?" Lin Qing only connected this name with Shan Lin when he spoke, and then admitted, "Yes, it's Shan Lin."
Shan Lin, that's a very affectionate name, Mu Li thought coldly in his heart.
"He gave it to you and you happily accepted it?" Mu Li suppressed the anger in his heart.
Lin Qing bit her lip: "Yes."
However, Lin Qing still felt that the word "cheerful" was not quite accurate.
After all, she still hesitated for a moment.
Seeing Lin Qing confessed, Mu Li was very angry.
Looking at Lin Qing, who looked like he had done something wrong, and then looking at the bottle of roses, Mu Li suddenly felt anxious that his woman was about to be seduced away by someone else.
So he clamped Lin Qing's arms, letting her fall into his arms without any preparation, and then took a few steps forward until her calves rested on the edge of the sofa.
"Lin Qing, when did you like flowers so much?" Mu Li lowered his voice, with a sense of dangerous threat.
Lin Qing swallowed his saliva and laughed: "Flowers... everyone likes them, it's nothing."
It’s nothing. She accepted the roses sent by Shan Lin again and again
Mu Li narrowed his eyes even tighter, and with a light move he laid Lin Qing down on the sofa.
"Hey!" Lin Qing lost his balance instantly.
As a result, she grabbed Mu Li's arm reflexively and dragged him to the sofa, pressing him down on her.
Now Lin Qing knows what it means to be caught in one's own trap.
"That..." Lin Qing's eyes rolled around, thinking about what to say.
However, Mu Li did not allow her to make any excuses and sealed her mouth.
Lin Qing waved her two little hands in the air, bumped into Mu Li's shoulders, and grabbed his collar.
I thought that doing this would stop Mu Li from taking further action, but I didn't control my strength well and ended up ripping open his collar.
"Lin Qing, you provoked me first."
She wanted to push Mu Li away, but her hands slipped and wrapped around his neck.
His cold fingertips slid across Lin Qing's shoulders. His hands were so cold that she had an urge to warm him.
In a trance, Lin Qing held Mu Li's hand that passed across her shoulder.
He looked at her lovingly and asked seductively, "How?"
"Hate..." Lin Qing tried to push Mu Li away again, but he had no strength left. When he wanted to withdraw his hand, Mu Li held it down.
"Lin Qing, remember, Shan Lin is a very dangerous person. Don't let him get close to you again."
Lin Qing smelled a strong sense of jealousy and nodded in his arms.
"Okay, I promise you." She promised.
Mu Li looked down at her. Her eyes were bright and affectionate as she looked at him, which moved Mu Li's heart.
Just when the two were expressing their love and about to fall in love again, a strange noise suddenly came from downstairs.
At this moment, Lin Qing felt dizzy and could not hear anything. Only Mu Li could hear clearly.
"Mu Li, if you don't come downstairs I'm going to break into your new house!" Someone was faintly shouting downstairs.
Mu Li rubbed his temple and then remembered something.
Yesterday he and Shan Rong agreed to come today.
If Shan Rong hadn't pestered him, he would never have agreed to discuss business at home.
"Hey, Mu Li!" Shan Rong called out twice more comfortably downstairs, and simply stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor.
Mu Li's face darkened, and he put his fingertips on Lin Qing's lips, saying with a faint helpless tone: "A rogue has come. I'll go downstairs to take a look. If you still feel tired, just take a rest."
