Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 682 The Child Bride's Delusional Dreams (20)

Ignoring Shang Henian who was chasing after him, Mu Zhou went to the cosmetics counter again.

I invited a senior from my university who works here to hang out, and also to practice my makeup skills on her.

The senior student pinched Mu Zhou's chin and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"After learning makeup, I realized that your face shape is really beautiful. You are a natural model. Your facial features are not very prominent, but they are soft and distinctive, and your facial lines are smooth."

Mu Zhou slightly curved the corners of his lips:

"Thank you, senior, but I have to have dinner with my elders tonight, so please don't overdo it."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

The senior student glanced at Shang Henian, who was sitting to the side waiting, and secretly gave Mu Zhou a wink.

She knew about Mu Zhou and Shang Henian's relationship, and she also knew that Mu Zhou liked him.

The two of them came together, thinking that Mu Zhou had finally gotten what he wanted, and then they winked at each other jokingly.

But Mu Zhou gently shook his head, and the senior realized that she had misunderstood. She sighed helplessly and began to put on makeup.

Shang Henian sat at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, quietly watching Mu Zhou put on makeup.

He used to think these things were boring and took so long, so he wouldn't wait for any woman.

But now, he can sit for an hour at a time.

They watched it with great interest.

Before long, Mu Zhou had finally finished dissolving.

A Chinese-style makeup look that perfectly complements the cheongsam.

Her eyebrows were delicate and arched, with a light blush under her eyes, giving her a gentle and classic look.

The senior student was satisfied, and Mu Zhou was also very satisfied.

Shang Henian stared wide-eyed.

He controlled his wildly beating heart, habitually took out his bank card, wanting to buy all the products Mu Zhou had used, but was stopped.

"no need."

Mu Zhou pressed his card and paid the bill himself.

After saying goodbye to her senior, Mu Zhou went to the parking lot.

Shang Henian stopped her, his expression not good:

"Why won't you let me pay?"

Why should you pay?

Mu Zhou didn't understand.

She looked at him intently:

"If you're worried about me spreading the photos because of what happened at the small hotel, I can tell you that the photos have already been deleted, so you can rest assured."

"Shang Henian, you don't need to be so good to me."

Mu Zhou's words left Shang Henian stunned.

He instinctively wanted to retort that he hadn't been kind to Mu Zhou and that she shouldn't be presumptuous.

But he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Because he knew very well that he had indeed been treating Mu Zhou better and better lately.

On the contrary, Mu Zhou avoided him more and more.

Seeing that Mu Zhou no longer looked at him with those bright, sparkling eyes, Shang Henian felt a pang of sadness.

He lowered his eyes and silently followed Mu Zhou into the car.

He spoke only after they had almost arrived at their destination:

"I just feel that I haven't been very good to you before."

Mu Zhou was texting Lu Lin when he suddenly heard Shang Henian speak. He paused for a moment before realizing that Shang Henian was talking to him.

She smiled:

"How could that be? Actually, you weren't bad to me before. It was just that I had too many expectations. I don't blame you."

Mu Zhou appeared completely at ease and calm.

This is the image that Shang Henian once most desired.

Mu Zhou actually did it, but he felt a tightness in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe.

He comforted himself.

Mu Zhou was probably just too embarrassed to admit it.

After all, she had liked him for so many years and had not received a response, so she naturally had the right to be angry and throw a tantrum.

He still had to be tolerant of her.

Shang Henian successfully calmed himself down.

*

In the hotel's private room, Grandpa Shang was in high spirits and even drank a small cup of baijiu (Chinese liquor).

Everyone at the table poured some water. Mu Zhou picked up a small glass and took a small sip. She was immediately overwhelmed by the spiciness and turned pale. She quickly drank a large mouthful of water.

After that, he pushed the liquor away and didn't dare touch it again.

Shang Henian, who was sitting opposite her, saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh.

When his father saw this and asked curiously, he quickly looked away.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about things at school."

The mother noticed exactly why her son was laughing.

She glanced at Mu Zhou, then gave Shang Henian a meaningful look and teased him:

"My son has finally grown up and become more perceptive."

Shang Henian blushed as his mother teased him, and he gulped down a glass of ice water to calm his racing heart.

A moment later, Grandpa Shang glanced at his watch:

"Why haven't you arrived yet?"

The merchant's father asked:

"Dad, did you invite anyone else?"

Just as Grandpa Shang was about to speak, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

The waiter opened the door, and a tall, upright figure appeared.

"Uncle?"

Shang Henian stood up and looked at Lu Lin with surprise.

Mu Zhou looked at him in surprise.

They were just talking on WeChat. Lu Lin said he had just gotten off the plane.

Mu Zhou thought he was going back to his workplace first.

Her eyes brightened slightly as she gazed at him tenderly, but quickly looked away.

Lu Lin's gaze lingered on her for a few seconds.

The group exchanged greetings.

Shang Henian's parents were also very familiar with Lu Lin, and even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, they were still very close.

Moreover, given Lu Lin's current position, further promotion is only a matter of time, so it's always good to maintain a closer relationship.

While gesturing for Lu Lin to sit down, Grandpa Shang explained to everyone:

"I just called and found out that Xiao Lu just got off the plane, so I invited him to come over for a meal. We're all family, so there's no need to be formal."

The father of the merchant is also called the father.

Lu Lin naturally walked to Mu Zhou's side, put one hand on the back of her chair, and responded to Grandpa Shang's words.

Mu Zhou unconsciously sat up straighter, moving away from the back of the chair.

Although Lu Lin's hand did not touch her, she felt as if his hot palm and fingertips were already touching the back of her neck.

Mu Zhou felt that this gesture was somewhat intimate.

She glanced at the other people at the table, and only after confirming that no one was paying attention to her did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

She hadn't figured out how to tell the business family about Lu Lin yet.

Her timid appearance naturally caught Lu Lin's eye.

He didn't continue to scare her, and quickly withdrew his hand. When the waiter brought over a set of chopsticks and a bowl, he gestured for it to be placed next to Mu Zhou.

Then, just like that, she naturally sat down to Mu Zhou's left.

Originally, Shang Henian wanted to move aside so that Lu Lin could sit next to his parents.

However, seeing Lu Lin sit down next to Mu Zhou, he didn't think much of it and sat down again.

However, the merchant's mother sensed something was amiss.

Her gaze swept over Mu Zhou and Lu Lin, a hint of inquiry flashing in her eyes.

Throughout the meal, Mu Zhou kept his head down and ate, or glanced in the direction of Grandpa Shang, but didn't give Lu Lin a single look.

His nervous and aloof demeanor made Lu Lin feel both heartbroken and somewhat amused.

I had originally planned to secretly take her hand under the table.

But I was afraid she would be so frightened that she wouldn't be able to eat properly, so I didn't do anything.

Lu Lin could only drink poison to quench his thirst, occasionally glancing at her profile for some solace.

Until the end of the meal.

Several adults walked ahead chatting, while Mu Zhou and Shang Henian lagged behind.

"I left my phone behind."

Shang Henian reached into his pocket and realized he hadn't brought his phone.

He insisted on dragging Mu Zhou back to search together: "You can't be so disloyal."

Mu Zhou had no choice but to go back with him.

Lu Lin, who was walking in front, seemed to pause for a moment, his cold eyes sweeping back without making a sound.
