Lin Qing looked at the dark blue cotton slippers, then looked at Mu Li, and her heart suddenly warmed. This man was really considerate.
When Mother Lin saw Mu Li's action, her expression relaxed a lot.
She didn't expect Lin Qing to find a powerful man in the future, she just hoped that she could find someone who was willing to love her and care for her for the rest of her life. This man who took her home when they first met could at least take care of her in the details.
At this time, Lin Qing finally spoke: "Mom, I just heard you ask, why did he bring me back?"
Mother Lin's tone was not very good: "I asked him, not you."
"Oh, you don't need to ask him." Lin Qing lowered his head and said slowly, "He didn't bring me back, it was... I followed him back."
"Mother Lin's expression, which had just eased, became even uglier again, and Chen Qudong looked even more forbearing.
Lin Qing saw that her mother and senior had unhappy expressions, and looked at Mu Li blankly. She was telling the truth, so why were they so unhappy
Mu Li just glanced at Lin Qing with a faint smile on his lips. This girl's train of thought was indeed different from that of ordinary people.
"Lin Qing!" Mother Lin glared at Lin Qing, "You are a girl, do you know what self-love is?"
Lin Qing was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that her mother and senior had misunderstood her.
She looked up: "Mom, he and I have nothing."
Mother Lin and Chen Qudong did not believe Lin Qing's words, thinking that she was just covering it up. After all, the red mark on her neck was too obvious.
Mu Li was the only one who understood Lin Qing. It was not because nothing really happened between them last night, but because he knew that Lin Qing always spoke in the same tone, in a light manner without too many ups and downs.
He believed that if Lin Qing were asked to tell her neighbor next door that the earth would be destroyed in three minutes, she would just walk over slowly, look into her eyes and tell her calmly: "The earth will be destroyed in three minutes."
Seeing that his mother didn't say anything, Lin Qing looked at Mu Li, his eyes full of help, hoping that he would say something.
If it were in the past, Mu Li would definitely distance himself from the matter, but today... he didn't want to speak.
Seeing Mu Li's indifferent expression, Lin Qing had no choice but to explain to her mother: "Mom, he and I..."
"Mu..." Mother Lin looked at Mu Li, "What's your name?"
"Auntie, my name is Mu Li."
Mu Li's tone was quite polite, so polite that even Chen Qudong was surprised. According to legend, Mu Li was cold-blooded and unkind.
"Yes." Mother Lin nodded. "Mu Li, look, how about I have a meal with your parents and discuss your and Qingqing's affairs?"
Lin Qing realized that her mother was going to have a family reunion with Mu Li's parents, so she tried to stop them. However, she was glared at and yelled at, "Shut up!"
Her face completely turned into a crying face. She and Mu Li were really innocent. Why should they be paired together
But, Mu Li would refuse, right? Well, then she didn't have to worry too much.
Mu Li turned his head and looked at Lin Qing. At first glance, he saw the expectation for him in her eyes, expecting him to reject her mother.
He suddenly became interested. If Lin Qing looked at him with the same burning gaze as those women who longed to marry into the Mu family, he would definitely refuse without hesitation.
But now she looks like she's afraid of getting involved with him...
Mu Li looked at Mother Lin and smiled: "Auntie, you can come whenever you have time. My parents can meet you anytime."
Mu Li said this with extra sincerity.
Hearing this, Mother Lin finally smiled, and her gaze as she looked at Mu Li slowly turned into satisfaction - he was handsome, tall, responsible, well-spoken, and judging by the decoration of his home, he also had good taste.
In the past, Mother Lin always thought that Lin Qing was stupid, but this time, she finally saw how smart Lin Qing was.
In fact, Lin Qing was very depressed at the moment.
She looked at her mother and felt strange.
Looking at Mu Li again, I felt even more puzzled—why didn’t he explain
"Hey, you..."
Lin Qing had just opened her mouth to ask Mu Li, but Mu Li suddenly grabbed her hand tightly.
His hands were warm and strong. Lin Qing looked at him in surprise and for a moment he even forgot what to say.
Mu Li was very satisfied with Lin Qing's reaction and held his hand tightly: "Go back to the room, I have something to tell you."
