Chapter 566 The Sobering Fall of the Cannon Fodder Junior Schoolgirl (6)
Mu Zhou offered a gentle, comforting voice:
“It’s all in the past. Now that she’s moved on, you should let go of the past too and be with Yu Mo.”
Jiang Chenbai's smile was bleak as he curled the corners of his lips:
"I hope so, but actually we..."
He seemed to have something he couldn't express.
It was obvious that he didn't have any good feelings towards Lin Yumo, and Mu Zhou naturally understood his meaning.
She felt a little awkward, as it wasn't really appropriate for her to say anything from her perspective.
So after a moment of silence, Mu Zhou stood up, preparing to leave:
"I'm going to the restroom, I'm leaving now."
Jiang Chenbai knew he couldn't push too hard, and he was already satisfied with the progress in his relationship with Mu Zhou today.
Watching Mu Zhou's departing figure, a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
He quickly got up and returned to the private room.
*
The club's restrooms are all single-person, so theoretically no one should enter after seeing the electronic sign outside the door.
Mu Zhou glanced at the sign; it was green, indicating no one was there. He pushed open the door and went inside, sitting in front of the vanity mirror by the door.
The tenderness and vulnerability on her face vanished instantly, and she calmly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She took out her phone and looked at Jiang Chenbai's profile, whom she had just added.
The curve of her lips carried a hint of indifference.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind her.
Mu Zhou looked at the person who had come through the mirror and suddenly froze.
She suddenly stood up and looked at him.
"You, when did you come in..."
The man leaning lazily against the doorframe was none other than Shen Linshu.
He stared at Mu Zhou with an inscrutable expression, and after a moment said slowly:
"It seems like I was here first."
He came out from inside, so naturally he had come in first. Mu Zhou blushed after realizing this:
"Sorry, I came in because I saw the sign outside that no one was home."
The entire floor was filled with VIP rooms, and even the restrooms were as luxurious as a two-bedroom apartment, so it was normal that Mu Zhou didn't see him.
She put away her phone and was about to leave when Shen Linshu suddenly spoke up.
"what is your purpose?"
She approached Jiang Chenbai with a face that resembled Jiang Chenbai's younger sister, and even though she saw through Jiang Chenbai's advances, she didn't say anything and even cooperated quite well.
She clearly knew all along how important her face was to Jiang Chenbai.
Who is her target?
Xu Ran? Jiang Chenbai?
Or is it Lin Yumo?
Shen Linshu looked her over with a smug gaze, his slightly raised eyebrows carrying a hint of mockery.
His sudden voice startled Mu Zhou, who looked at him with a blank and innocent expression:
"What is your purpose? What are you talking about, Mr. Shen?"
Seeing her start to feign innocence again, Shen Linshu couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Jiang Chenbai was analyzing the past with Mu Zhou when he happened to be passing by.
It's easy to guess what your best friend is thinking; he knows what he wants to do.
It's simply that seeing such a similar face makes it hard to let go.
As for the fact that Mu Zhou is already married and Jiang Chenbai is about to get married, it has nothing to do with him.
Before leaving, he glanced at Mu Zhou.
A blush crept across the corners of her eyes, her gaze filled with heartache, making her look incredibly pitiful.
Like a naive and easily swayed little white rabbit, she has absolutely no ability to resist when faced with a cunning and treacherous jackal.
But Shen Linshu didn't think so.
Beneath that pure face lies a hidden, unspeakable face.
This second encounter, with Mu Zhou's cold and disdainful expression, confirmed his suspicions.
Although her eyes were still red and pitiful, just like a little white rabbit, Shen Linshu knew that she was not prey to be hunted at will.
Highly skilled hunters often appear as prey.
Presumably, that's how she is.
Shen Linshu stared at her with a playful look in his eyes. He wasn't angry that she wouldn't admit it, but he simply moved a little closer.
As he approached, Mu Zhou visibly tensed up.
She already looked somewhat unwell, but now she appeared even more haggard and frail.
But she insisted on looking directly into Shen Linshu's eyes, her hands clenched tightly together.
Shen Linshu stopped in front of her, looking down at her.
The upturned corners of his lips were dangerous and eerie.
He reached out and seemingly casually brushed aside a stray lock of hair that was hanging over Mu Zhou's shoulder.
Mu Zhou instinctively wanted to dodge, but there was a dressing mirror behind her, so she froze, her body stiff.
Shen Linshu noticed her reaction.
His gaze swept over Mu Zhou.
She wasn't strikingly beautiful, but she wasn't plain either.
She wasn't exactly a stunning beauty, but her features were perfectly proportioned, as if her face was meant to have this pure and innocent look.
Her attire was simply a classic business suit.
But the shirt wasn't the kind of conventionally styled shirt.
The slightly loose neckline allowed a perfect glimpse of her fair and delicate skin.
The shirt was tucked into the pencil skirt without looking bulky at all.
The cinched waist and figure-hugging design accentuated her slender waistline to the fullest extent.
Her long, slender, and straight legs curled up slightly as he approached.
With a pure and lovely face and a figure completely different from her usual style, she can be said to be the pinnacle of pure and alluring beauty.
Shen Linshu's gaze was extremely aggressive.
As his hand swept over Mu Zhou, she had the illusion that his palm had traveled from her slender waist to her thighs, caressing her every inch of her body.
The thought made her tremble for no reason.
Seeing that Shen Linshu showed no sign of leaving, she mustered her courage and gave him a push.
"I don't understand what Mr. Shen is saying, please make way."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Shen Linshu was pushed back two steps by her force.
He brushed the fabric of his chest that Mu Zhou had touched and chuckled softly.
*
Back in the private room, it was clear that Mu Zhou was wary of Shen Linshu.
She barely made eye contact with him.
When Jiang Chenbai saw him return, he asked where he had been.
Mu Zhou was standing quite close to them, so he overheard their conversation.
She tensed up instantly and couldn't help but steal glances at them.
Shen Linshu narrowed his eyes, his chest trembled slightly, and he suddenly chuckled softly:
"I saw a rabbit hunting."
"what?"
Jiang Chenbai gave him a strange look.
Lin Yumo happened to come over, so he didn't ask any further questions.
Shen Linshu did not tell the truth, which surprised Mu Zhou.
She glanced over cautiously, only to find Shen Linshu raising his glass towards her.
Mu Zhou felt a pang of guilt and immediately turned around in fright.
She silently approached Xu Ran.
Then I heard a system notification.
[The male lead Shen Linshu's affection level has increased by 10%, currently at -5%]
Mu Zhou paused as he reached for the juice.
Going from -15 to -5, how can that not be considered progress?
It's normal that Shen Linshu, the male lead she's trying to win over, has a negative favorability rating from their very first meeting.
He's someone who doesn't like anyone.
Including his so-called brothers.
Just as he clearly sensed that she had ulterior motives in tacitly allowing Jiang Chenbai to get closer.
But he didn't offer Jiang Chenbai the slightest warning.
It's really not easy to gain favor with someone who treats life so casually and doesn't care about anyone.
Xu Ran poured her a glass of juice, which Mu Zhou took, silently recalling the events of the original world.
The original owner did not exist for long amidst the love-hate entanglements of these individuals.
She passed away just two months later.
