Chapter 93: A Wonderful Sleep

“Do not be afraid, I am right here. Nothing can harm you. Trust me.”

As he hugged Luo Bingyun tightly, Lin Mu murmured these words near her ear. At the same time, he circulated a trace of Zhenqi, employing an effect similar to a mesmerizing voice.

Snuggled against Lin Mu, Luo Bingyun gradually calmed down. The memory of how Lin Mu had saved her that day was deeply imprinted in her heart. Apart from Lin Mu, no one else could make her feel so safe.

“A-Mu, can you stay with me tonight? I am afraid to sleep alone.”

Looking at Luo Bingyun, whose face was still marked with two trails of tears, Lin Mu felt his heart soften. While wiping away her tears, he smiled and said, “Alright, as long as you are not afraid I might do something naughty, I will stay with you.”

“Annoying! You are not allowed to bully me. Besides you, there is no one else around I trust so much.”

Blushing and shy, Luo Bingyun lightly punched Lin Mu’s chest and puffed out her cheeks as she spoke.

“Okay, okay, I won’t bully you. If anyone dares to bully my Bingyun, I will beat them up!”

Lin Mu chuckled and gently pinched Luo Bingyun’s cheek.

“Who is your Bingyun? Shame on you!”

Flustered, Luo Bingyun pushed Lin Mu’s hand away, put on her slippers, and ran into her room. However, after waiting for a while and Lin Mu still hadn’t entered, Luo Bingyun quietly peeked her head out of the room.

“What are you doing? Come in quickly!”

Lin Mu smiled slightly, got up, and walked into Luo Bingyun’s boudoir. Unlike the pink, girlish atmosphere typical of many girls’ rooms, Luo Bingyun’s room was very traditionally decorated and spacious, fitting her CEO temperament very well.

Sitting down on the lounger by the bed, Lin Mu said with a smile, “You must have a lot to deal with at the company tomorrow. Go to sleep quickly. I will sit here and keep you company.”

“It’s okay, come up here. How can you sleep while sitting there?”

Luo Bingyun’s face reddened as she patted the pillow beside her.

“This bed is so big anyway. It is fine for two people.”

“You really want me to come up? Are you not afraid I might do something naughty?”

Lin Mu chuckled and walked over to the bed, sitting down.

“Hmph, I will keep an eye on you! No doing anything bad!”

Luo Bingyun raised her delicate fist and gave a small shake as she spoke.

“Spare me, Maiden Hero! This humble one dares not do anything wrong.”

Lin Mu put on a frightened expression, making Luo Bingyun giggle sweetly. Only then did he take off his clothes and slip under the covers.

The two lay side by side on the bed, covered by a soft silk quilt. Lin Mu wriggled his body back and forth a few times and immediately clicked his tongue in admiration. “The life of the rich is truly enjoyable! Even the bed is this comfortable!”

Luo Bingyun burst out laughing and turned her head to look at Lin Mu. “If you want, you can have this bed.”

“Sigh, what good is just a bed? You need a beautiful girl by your side too, then there will be no regrets!”

Lin Mu gave Luo Bingyun a deep look, his words carrying a double meaning.

“Annoying! I am not talking to you anymore! I am going to sleep!”

Luo Bingyun’s face turned a delicate red. Not daring to look at Lin Mu any longer, she quickly turned over with her back to him, pretending to sleep.

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Mu gave a soft laugh. He moved forward a little, pressing against Luo Bingyun’s back. He slipped one arm under her head and wrapped the other one over her, holding Luo Bingyun entirely in his embrace.

Feeling Luo Bingyun’s entire body suddenly tense up, Lin Mu leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Don’t be afraid. Go to sleep. There is a lot to do tomorrow.”

Hearing this, the tension in Luo Bingyun’s body slowly eased. After a while, she seemed to grow accustomed to being held by Lin Mu. She curled up a little, completely nestling into Lin Mu’s embrace, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, as the sun rose, the curtains in Luo Bingyun’s boudoir automatically opened to welcome the sunlight. Lin Mu also opened his eyes, seemingly half-awake.

He had never felt like he had slept so comfortably before. Lin Mu felt refreshed from head to toe, especially the palms of his hands. It felt like he was holding a big cotton ball. How could it be so comfortable?

However, it only took a moment for Lin Mu to wake up fully. He then realized what exactly was in the palm of his hand, and instantly broke out in a sweat.

Quietly lifting his head to glance at Luo Bingyun, he saw that she seemed to still be asleep. Lin Mu carefully withdrew his hand from inside Luo Bingyun’s pajamas. Then, stealthily, he got out of bed, picked up his clothes from beside the bed, and left the room.

Just after Lin Mu left, Luo Bingyun opened her eyes. Her delicate face instantly turned bright red. She tightened the collar of her pajamas, let out a soft whimper, and buried her entire head under the covers.

Lin Mu was completely unaware of this scene. After washing up, he went out to buy some breakfast. Returning, he found Luo Bingyun was still sleeping. He did not wake her, thinking that since she had slept so late last night, it was better to let her sleep a bit more.

Meanwhile, in another high-end villa area in Donghai City, the members of the Yan Family had gathered together early in the morning. Seated in the center was none other than Yan Zhongqing, the head of the Yan Family.

A phone call from Donghai had reached Jingdu last night. Yan Zhongqing, who had been sitting securely like a fisherman waiting for a bite, could no longer sit still. He immediately arranged for a plane and flew to Donghai overnight.

The only person in Donghai who could make them take things so seriously was naturally Lin Mu. They had initially thought Lin Mu was just a minor character who couldn’t stir up big waves. But recent events forced Yan Zhongqing to view Lin Mu in a new light.

At that moment, Yan Langshi also got out of bed. Coming downstairs, he was surprised to see a group of people sitting in the living room and immediately asked, “Dad, why are you here?”

“Langshi, come, sit down. Dad has something to discuss with you.”

Yan Zhongqing smiled slightly. This son was his pride.

“Dad, I have something to do. I was just about to go out.”

Yan Langshi said.

“What could possibly be happening this early in the morning?” Yan Zhongqing asked with a hearty laugh.

“Of course, it is something good.”

“Oh? Tell me about it. Let me share in your happiness.”

“Dad, do you know Hong Lingsheng?”

“Yes, I have heard you mention him. Why are you thinking of him now?”

“He was a very good classmate of mine in Jingdu. I heard he has a younger sister who is pretty and very smart. He always said he wanted to introduce us before. Now she is actually here, so I want to go meet her.”

“You want to use this to provoke Situ Xue?” Yan Zhongqing’s eyes flashed as he immediately questioned.

“Dad, do you really think I would hang myself on one tree? For me, there are only two kinds of women: those who are valuable to our Yan Family, and those who are not.”

“Since Situ Xiu has given up on the marriage alliance with our Yan Family, she holds no more value to me. Naturally, I will no longer focus my attention on her.”

Yan Langshi gave a light laugh, his arrogance clearly showing.

“Good! Truly worthy of being my son, Yan Zhongqing! I am really happy that you think this way! A person destined for great things must never be trapped by matters of the heart.”

“If you can actually form a connection with someone from the Hong Family, that would not be a bad thing for our Yan Family either. It is just that the Situ Family has shown such disregard for our Yan Family. This insult is very hard for me to swallow!”

Yan Zhongqing snorted, clearly very angry about the Situ Family calling off the marriage.

“Dad, don’t worry. If I cannot have something, no one else will either. That punk called Lin Mu, I really do not take him seriously.”

Yan Langshi laughed heartily. His tone showed he looked down on Lin Mu completely.

“I know you plan carefully before acting, but do not underestimate any opponent. Otherwise, the one who suffers might very well be yourself.”

“Just earlier, I received a call from the Anji Society. Tonight at the Fuling Grand Restaurant, that kid Lin Mu will also be there. The Anji Society is secretly supported by our Yan Family. I will have them cooperate with you to deal with that boy.”

“That kid shows his edge too much. A tree that stands out in the forest will be knocked down by the wind!”

A cold light flashed in Yan Zhongqing’s eyes as he spoke grimly.

“Dad, do you want me to go there too?”

“Yes, we need to understand that kid’s depth. It is best for you to test him. I think the atmosphere at the scene will be quite interesting.”

Yan Zhongqing laughed heartily.

“Alright, I will go there tonight. For now, I will head out first.”

“Okay, remember to observe that kid’s every move closely. Try to find any weaknesses.”

“Understood, Dad. Just wait for my good news.”

Yan Langshi nodded, then went out, got in his car, and drove away.

Yan Zhongqing felt very pleased to have such an outstanding descendant. It was a good thing he hadn’t sent him abroad to study, otherwise who knows what he might have become now.

The Situ Family had been utterly disrespectful. Since everyone had already torn off the pretenses, they would just have to wait and see who would have the last laugh!

Half an hour later, Yan Langshi appeared at the foot of Qinglian Mountain. This was also a relatively famous mountain peak in Donghai, often visited by many tourists.

At the mountain’s base, Hong Lingsheng had already arrived. There was another young man with him. Judging by his attire, he was clearly not from an ordinary family either. Yan Langshi got out of his car and walked over, greeting Hong Lingsheng enthusiastically with a bear hug.

“Lingsheng, we meet again! How have you been lately?”

“Everything is fine. I just missed you a lot. Isn’t it strange? You are clearly a man, so why do I miss you? Could it be that I have turned?”

Hong Lingsheng laughed heartily and patted Yan Langshi’s shoulder.

“Go die, I am straight! In my opinion, you do not miss me. You miss that thing I have, right?”

Yan Langshi shook his head with a smile.

“Those who gave me life are my parents. Those who know me are you, Langshi.”

“Let me introduce you. This is Lin Tiannan. He came from Jingdu to hang out. He is quite an impressive person. I brought him along today so you could meet.”

“Brother Hong, you flatter me too much. Tiannan is just an ordinary person, not someone impressive. Brother Yan, do not listen to his nonsense.”

Lin Tiannan waved his hand and said with a smile.

“Brother Lin, you are too modest. Just by your demeanor, Langshi can tell that you are definitely not an ordinary person.”

Yan Langshi was very shrewd. He knew Hong Lingsheng would not joke about such matters. This Lin Tiannan must have a significant background, so he was being very polite from the start.
