Zuo Qing had woken up long ago and was reading the newspaper in the dining room. When he heard the footsteps on the stairs. Without looking up, he said: “”Up? Come and have breakfast.”

Mu Ling walked to the dining room and sat opposite the man. Looking up, she suddenly realized that he was different from usual. He was wearing a pair of golden-framed glasses, and the hair that was originally slicked behind his head was now loosely hanging on his forehead. With that pair of long and deep eyes and that cold face, he looked very good!

Zuo Qing noticed the gaze from the opposite side and looked up.

Their gazes collided in the air, and Mu Ling’s breath froze. As if she had been caught doing something bad, she hurriedly lowered her eyes.

“Am I that good-looking?” Zuo Qing teased with a smile. “Are you staring at me?”

Mu Ling’s expression froze, and she suddenly felt a little ashamed. She raised her eyes to meet the man’s gaze, suppressing the panic in her heart, and calmly said, “”You’re wearing glasses?”

“Are you that surprised?” Zuo Qing asked.

Mu Ling replied, “hmm, it looks like …You’re not that fierce anymore.”

“Am I that mean to you?” Zuo Qing narrowed her eyes.

“Well, for example, when you threw me into the lake yesterday.” Mu Ling complained.

The corners of Zuo Qing’s lips curled up. This little girl was quite vengeful. He placed the newspaper on the table and said,”Yesterday was just an accident. It’s all in the past. Don’t mention it.”

He used up all the patience he had in his life when it came to this little girl.”Really, I swear, there won’t be a next time.”

Mu Ling nodded.

“How was your sleep last night?” Zuo Qing quickly changed the topic.

“It’s pretty good,” Mu Ling replied. It was rare that she could sleep so well.

The two of them finished their breakfast in silence.

Zuo Qing took out a bag and handed it to her. She took it out and saw that it was a new mobile phone. It was the latest iPhone 14. It was dark purple and quite pretty.

“Did you buy this for me?”

“Yeah, do you like it?”

Mu Ling replied,’I do like it, but …’ I don’t really know how to use it. ”

“Do you know how to answer a phone call?”

Mu Ling nodded.

“That’s good enough.” Zuo Qing looked at the phone and said with a chuckle, “my number is already saved in that phone. If you see my name, you can just answer the call.”

Then, he added domineeringly, “”You’re not allowed to refuse!”

“So, are you sending me back to the Mu family now?” mu Ling asked.

“Yes,” Zuo Qing replied.

“Does that mean that you believe that I don’t have your coin?”

“I don’t believe you,” Zuo Qing replied.

Mu Ling was speechless.

Zuo Qing crossed his arms and looked at the beautiful little girl in front of him as if he was negotiating, “”You won’t be affected by force or persuasion anyway, so I don’t want to be too rough with you.”

He had been frightened yesterday and had said all the good things. But it was of no use … The little girl was impervious to anything.

He had to change his method. “I can wait for you to return the coin to me. But before that, you have to protect it. If you lose it, I’ll come after you, little girl!”

It was clearly a threat, but his tone sounded like he was coaxing a child.

Mu Ling’s lips curled up and she said seriously, “Uncle, you won’t live to see that day.”

“Let’s wait and see,” Zuo Qing replied.

He seemed to be confident that mu Ling would personally return the lion head coin to him.

Zuo Qing did as he said and asked the driver to send Mu Ling away.

It was only when they got into the car that Mu Ling was sure he was serious.

Zuo Qing put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the door frame casually. He looked at the little girl in the car with a gentle expression and smiled proudly and confidently.”Little girl, see you next time.”

Mu Ling heaved a sigh of relief and waved her hand, “”Goodbye, uncle.”

After saying goodbye, she rolled up the window.

After the driver received Zuo Qing’s signal, he started the car and took Mu Ling out of the villa.

He only returned to the living room after the car disappeared from his sight. He had long been used to living alone, but Mu Ling had stayed with him in the same house for a night. When she left, she actually left the huge villa empty. His heart was empty too, and it was really uncomfortable.

He regretted letting the little girl go … He really wanted to tie her to his side forever!

Zuo Qing sat on the sofa in a daze. He suddenly glanced at the coffee table and took a closer look. There were a few notes and money on it.

They were all left behind by Mu Ling, and the note said: Uncle, I only brought this much money with me. Let’s just say I bought the phone myself. Thank you ~

When Mu Ling left jingyun Island, she had brought a few hundred Yuan with her and left it all here. She did not like to owe others. But what she didn’t know was that her money wasn’t even enough to cover a fraction of the cost of that phone.

Zuo Qing did not know whether to laugh or cry. This little girl …
