Although Xuanyuan Jing held a large amount of suspicion towards Lin Mu, he was, after all, a prince, a duke. He was extremely adept at dealing with people.
Then, he invited Lin Mu and Ye Linger over: "I wonder if Miss Ye and Sir Lin are free to have a chat in the private room."
Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen watched everything that was happening on the second floor from a distance. Xie Qingrong smirked and laughed: "You knew from the beginning that Xuanyuan Jing would bring Ye Ningyu to the Gourmet today, so you intentionally arranged for Lin Mu to meet the two of you together with Ye Linger."
"That's right." Xuanyuan Chen said as he finished the wine in his cup.
"This Ye Linger was also appointed by you, right?" Xie Qingrong said.
She knew that Ye Linger was grateful to him for saving her life, and seeing that she was not ordinary and had outstanding martial arts, her heart would definitely land on Lin Mu.
Even if Ye Linger saw an intelligent person, she was still a woman from her room. She knew that she would have the chance to meet her lover, regardless of whether it was true or false, she would immediately go to meet him.
Unfortunately, this hero saving the beauty had been a scam from beginning to end.
"That's right. A Rong is so intelligent, she actually guessed it so clearly. " Xuanyuan Chen praised as he placed the white porcelain cup on the table.
Xuanyuan Chen was obviously very satisfied with the good show that had taken place in front of him.
This was a good show that he had specially arranged for Xuanyuan Jing. He had known since a long time ago that Right Prime Minister was planning to marry his daughter, Ye Ningyu.
Although Imperial Consort Ye was Ye Wenfu's little sister and the entire family of Prime Minister Ye was supported by Xuanyuan Jing, if they could get closer, wouldn't that make the big tree even more stable?
He had long known what that old cunning fox Ye Wenfu was thinking in his heart.
As for Ye Ningyu, she became a sacrifice just for the clan's prosperity.
In these few days, Xuanyuan Jing would bring Ye Ningyu around the streets in order to get to know him better. After all, the two of them were going to be married off.
Thinking of this, the corner of Xuanyuan Chen's mouth hooked into a cold smile. It's just too bad, that Ye Linger who was destined to become a sacrifice.
However, the victor was the king and the loser was the thief. When Xuanyuan Jing wanted to climb up to that position, he had to step on the corpses of others and their blood.
"Lin Mu."
Just as Lin Mu was about to agree, an extremely vague voice came from behind, seemingly coming from outside the sky. However, Lin Mu was extremely familiar with the voice, familiar to the point that he could recognize the person without turning around.
It was just that in the past, that person would sweetly address him as "Big Brother Mu" and his sweet voice would sound innocent. However, why did it sound so sorrowful this time?
She must be so sad that she was about to cry. He hated to see her sad appearance the most.
He did not dare to turn around. He was afraid that if he did, he would not be able to resist the urge to hug the person behind him tightly.
Ye Linger tugged on Lin Mu's sleeves, and asked softly: "Brother Lin, that girl is so pretty, do you recognize her?"
Xuanyuan Changge saw that the weak and weak girl, who looked like a little white rabbit, was pulling on Lin Mu's sleeves, but Lin Mu did not move her hand.
Lin Mu, how can you not shake her off?
Xuanyuan Changge stared at Lin Mu's back, and used her eyes to silently interrogate Lin Mu.
In a private seat far away from him, Xie Qingrong slammed the teacup on the table, letting out a crisp sound of something hitting the table.
A cold light flashed past her deep black eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked into an extremely cold smile, "This time, I want to see how you and Lin Mu will end this fight."
Xuanyuan Chen helplessly stroked his forehead. He suddenly felt that it was a good show, and Lin Mu could have gotten some information from him, but he didn't expect that Changge would actually secretly follow Lin Mu here.
This scene could not be played out anymore, Lin Mu was afraid that he would not be able to resist.
Sure enough, Lin Mu finally turned around. He saw that the young lady whom he had been carefully protecting since childhood, was now with red eyes, with barely discernible tears at the corner of her eyes. She puckered her lips in grievance, and felt her heart throbbing in pain.
He took his first step towards Xuanyuan Changge, but realized that his sleeve was being pulled by Ye Linger. Ye Linger seemed to have understood something, and wanted to stop Lin Mu, as she shouted softly, "Big Brother Lin."
Ye Linger had a feeling in her heart that if she let go now, she wouldn't be able to have any sort of interaction with Lin Mu in this lifetime.
There was also a noble aura on that girl, a kind of noble aura that only belonged to those in power, just like the man beside Sister Ye.
Lin Mu brushed away Ye Linger's hands and watched as Lin Mu walked towards the girl with firm steps. Ye Linger was powerless to stop him.
She watched as Lin Mu bent his body and used his finger to lightly wipe the corner of the girl's eyes, as if he was wiping tears off the corner of her eyes.
It was unknown what Lin Mu said. The girl's tears became a smile, and the corner of Lin Mu's lips drew an extremely shallow curve. If not for her staring closely at Lin Mu, she wouldn't have been able to tell that he was smiling.
At that moment, her eyes opened wide, as if she had heard something shattering.
Xuanyuan Changge held onto Lin Mu tightly as she smiled apologetically at Ye Linger, allowing Xuanyuan Changge to pull him away and leave the Gourmet.
Ye Linger soullessly followed Ye Ningyu and Xuanyuan Jing back to their private box.
Ye Ningyu saw Ye Linger's expression and wanted to comfort him, but the words she said were extremely sarcastic, "Our Ye Family's daughter would not be so lacking in men. Isn't it just a Lin Mu? Those in the middle who are better than Lin Mu, grab a bunch. "
Ye Linger seemed to not take Ye Ningyu's words to heart, she only wanted to know who that girl was that could actually make Lin Mu reveal such a gentle expression and smile. Lin Mu had always been extremely courteous to her, and his conduct and speech had never surpassed his limits.
"Sister Ye, can you tell me who exactly is that girl who brought Lin Mu along?" Ye Linger asked.
Ye Ningyu thought about how Xuanyuan Changge had played tricks on him and humiliated him yesterday, and hherface immediately darkened. Now, she was even able to humiliate Ye Linger, his cold voice carried a trace of malice, "Xuanyuan Changge, Princess Changge."
Ye Linger knew that she was just a young miss from a branch family, and that sher status was not suitable for Lin Mu. Now, knowing that the girl was not only a princess, but also had a deep relationship with Lin Mu, he died even more heartlessly.
