Chapter 111: A Golden House to Hide a Beauty
“What are you doing?”
Luo Bingyun rolled her eyes at Lin Mu.
“Of course I was going to sleep! Did you just call me over to ask a few questions, then send me back to sleep?”
Lin Mu widened his eyes innocently.
“That’s right! I just wanted to see if you were okay. Now that I know you’re fine, I’m relieved. You should go back and sleep!”
Luo Bingyun pretended not to care as she spoke.
“Alright, then I’ll go back to sleep.”
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Mu got up and started putting on his clothes to leave.
“You’re so annoying, you always bully me!”
But just as he lifted the covers to leave, a warm body pounced onto his back from behind, pressing tightly against him.
“How is that bullying? You told me to leave, so of course I listen to you. What if you accuse me of harassing you otherwise?”
Chuckling inwardly, Lin Mu still looked very innocent.
“I hate you!”
Hearing Luo Bingyun’s coquettish voice, Lin Mu grinned, turned back, and lay down on the bed again. With a sweep of his arm, he pulled Luo Bingyun into his embrace.
“Last time I stayed with you, you slept so soundly. You didn’t even know when I left, right?”
“Mhm, I don’t know why, but having you by my side makes me feel so safe. It’s as if nothing can hurt me anymore, and my whole body completely relaxes.”
Luo Bingyun softly responded, her voice carrying a faint melancholy.
Feeling that he could become someone’s greatest source of comfort warmed Lin Mu’s heart. He reached out and ruffled Luo Bingyun’s beautiful hair. Gazing at her lovely, delicate face, his heart stirred slightly, and he gently kissed her red lips.
He had initially intended just one kiss, but Lin Mu didn’t expect Luo Bingyun to respond so passionately, chasing his lips and refusing to let go. The two instantly clung to each other, rolling around and burrowing under the covers.
Feeling the beauty in his arms embrace him so ardently, a fire seemed to ignite instantly within Lin Mu. A primal urge made him lose control. His large hand slipped inside her silk pajamas and began gently roaming.
For a time, the bedroom was filled with amorous scenes.
With a light tick, as the sun rose outside the window, the bedroom curtains slowly automatically drew apart to both sides. A strand of morning sunlight immediately shone into the bedroom.
The bed was messy with disheveled covers; the pillow had flown to the foot of the bed. Luo Bingyun’s face still carried a blush as she leaned against Lin Mu’s chest, sleeping deeply.
Sensing the sunlight, Lin Mu slowly opened his eyes. The abundant energy within him made him feel more comfortable than ever before. He slightly turned his head, gently kissed the beauty’s forehead in his arms, then got up and started putting on his clothes.
After covering Luo Bingyun with the quilt, Lin Mu washed up, went to the kitchen, and prepared a lavish breakfast. Then he carried a large tray back to the room.
The aroma of food awakened the sleeping beauty. Her small nose twitched slightly. Luo Bingyun let out a soft murmur and opened her eyes, immediately seeing Lin Mu leaning by the bed with a smiling face, staring straight at her.
With a shy hum, Luo Bingyun recalled the previous night’s passion. Embarrassed, she buried her head under the covers and said muffledly from inside, “So annoying, get out! I need to get dressed.”
Lin Mu chuckled softly, poked his head under the covers, a mischievous smirk curling his lips. He immediately opened his mouth and playfully nipped forward.
This sudden attack made Luo Bingyun yelp in surprise. She scrambled backward, shrinking all the way to the corner of the bed.
“Still shy? Last night, I’ve already seen all of you, kissed all of you. Hurry up and get dressed.”
“Annoying! Don’t say that!”
Luo Bingyun hid under the covers, refusing to come out no matter what, and even pulled the quilt tighter. As she tugged at the quilt, a trace of bright red on the bedsheet was inadvertently exposed.
“Hey, what’s this? Why is the sheet red?”
Lin Mu feigned surprise, calling out. He was about to take a closer look at that bright red stain when Luo Bingyun suddenly popped her head out from under the covers and lunged forward, covering the stain with her body.
“Don’t look! Don’t look! Just don’t look!”
Lin Mu laughed heartily, deciding not to tease the extremely shy Luo Bingyun any further. He picked up the clothes scattered on the bed and began helping her put them on, one piece at a time. Naturally, dressing involved more playful tussling.
After about ten minutes, they finally managed to get most of her clothes on. Lin Mu was sweating from the effort, and Luo Bingyun was also panting lightly.
“Here, have some milk first.”
Lin Mu handed her a glass, then picked up a piece of toast, dipped it in some ketchup, and let Luo Bingyun take a bite. After that, he fed her a little of everything else, like the fried eggs.
At this moment, Luo Bingyun was like a blissful little woman, enjoying her husband’s meticulous care and attentiveness. A simple breakfast was unexpectedly filled with a sense of abundant happiness.
“Do you still need to go to the company today?”
Lin Mu took a sip of milk, then finished all the leftover food Luo Bingyun hadn’t eaten.
“Of course! I have to go to the company every day to handle lots of matters! I’m a very hardworking and ambitious president!”
Luo Bingyun proudly lifted her small head, looking at Lin Mu with an expectant expression.
“I know you’re the most diligent!”
Seeing Luo Bingyun’s expression ready for praise, Lin Mu smiled slightly and bopped her little nose.
“Do you want me to take you to the company later?”
“Mmm, no need. You go do your things. I can go by myself.”
Luo Bingyun shook her head. She was a powerful woman in her own right. While she enjoyed the care of her beloved man, she didn’t rely on him for everything.
“Alright, then I’ll go take care of my things first. I’ll come again tonight.”
Lin Mu knew her temperament and didn’t say much more. Smiling, he gave her a light kiss on the lips, then collected the breakfast tray and left. Shortly after, the sound of the door closing came from the entrance.
Luo Bingyun was about to get out of bed, but as soon as she stretched her legs, she felt a tearing pain between them. Though her brows furrowed tightly, she couldn’t suppress the joy on her face.
Glancing back at the faint red stain left in the middle of the bed, she smiled sweetly, then turned and entered the walk-in closet to change into today’s clothes.
Lin Mu drove straight back to Huacheng Mingyuan. As soon as he entered the house, he ran into Ye Zixi, who had just gotten up. He lifted the breakfast in his hand and smiled slightly. “Morning!”
Ye Zixi took the breakfast and was about to turn and place it on the table when she suddenly whipped her head back around. Her nose twitched slightly as if she smelled something.
Frowning, she sniffed the breakfast in her hands, then lifted her head and sniffed the air again. Finally, she brought her nose close to Lin Mu’s body.
“That’s not right. The smell on you is off. It’s completely different from the breakfast smell. It seems like a woman’s scent!”
Watching Ye Zixi instantly transform into a detective, Lin Mu felt a pang of guilt and gave an awkward smile.
“You must be mistaken. It’s just the smell of breakfast. I kept it beside me in the car for a long time, so some of the smell got on me.”
“Breakfast smells like Chanel perfume?”
Ye Zixi’s slender eyebrows shot up high.
“Uh, well, maybe it’s the auntie selling the breakfast. Yes, that’s it! It’s her perfume! She’s a woman too, after all!”
Lin Mu’s eyes lit up as he quickly replied.
“The auntie selling breakfast can afford the limited edition Chanel No. 5 that costs over ten thousand dollars a bottle?”
“Well… I don’t know about that. Maybe she’s just doing it part-time, selling breakfast on the side. Actually, she might have a deep background secretly, maybe her family is very rich, and she’s just bored.”
Lin Mu laughed it off, his eyes darting around, then he scurried into the bedroom.
“This is looking like he’s building a golden house to hide a beauty!”
Ye Zixi rubbed her pointy chin suspiciously, staring at Lin Mu’s door thoughtfully.
Song Yuru had also finished dressing by then and came downstairs with Ling Xuanrong. Seeing Ye Zixi motionlessly staring at Lin Mu’s room, they looked at her curiously.
“What are you doing? You have breakfast, why aren’t you eating? Why are you staring at A-Mu’s room?”
Walking over to Ye Zixi, Song Yuru took the breakfast from her hands and placed it on the table.
“A-Mu didn’t come home at all last night.”
Ye Zixi suddenly said.
“Yeah, so what? He’s not a child; he can find his own place to sleep.”
Song Yuru sat down at the table and gave Ye Zixi a look.
“Exactly! That’s the suspicious part!”
Ye Zixi suddenly clapped her hands loudly, startling Song Yuru so much she nearly spat out her soy milk.
“You’re insane! Early in the morning, why are you so jumpy!”
Quickly wiping her mouth with a napkin, Song Yuru glared at Ye Zixi discontentedly.
“Just now, A-Mu brought breakfast back. Guess what smell I detected on him?”
Ye Zixi mysteriously sat down beside the two girls and asked.
“Crazy, the smell of breakfast, of course. What else could it be? This soy milk is quite fragrant today. Where did A-Mu buy it?”
Ling Xuanrong also rolled her eyes at Ye Zixi and went back to drinking her soy milk.
“Ah! You two idiots whose brains only think about eating!”
Ye Zixi slapped the table, looking displeased at the two foolish women who only knew how to drink soy milk.
“A-Mu had the scent of Chanel No. 5 on him! My nose never makes a mistake!”
Hearing this, the two girls looked up in surprise.
“And!”
Ye Zixi wasn’t finished. She paused heavily before continuing.
“I carefully discerned it. The perfume scent wasn’t on his clothes; it was coming from A-Mu’s body. Do you know what that means?!”
The two girls stared blankly at Ye Zixi, shaking their heads like rattle-drums.
“I really can’t believe you two!”
Ye Zixi was utterly defeated. Why was she living with these two fools who only cared about eating? But then she lifted her head again and continued her analysis.
“It means when A-Mu got this perfume on him, he wasn’t wearing clothes. He was actually not wearing clothes!”
“When he wasn’t wearing clothes, his body had the scent of Chanel No. 5 on it. Can’t you still figure out what that implies?!”
“You mean, A-Mu might have slept with another woman last night?”
Ling Xuanrong voiced her guess very quietly. Song Yuru immediately turned and stared fixedly at her.
“I… I was just inferring based on what Zixi said.”
Ling Xuanrong immediately shrank back and resumed drinking her soy milk.
“Bingo! Correct!”
Ye Zixi snapped her fingers, presenting her final theory.
“That brat A-Mu is actually keeping a beauty hidden away outside!”
