Chapter 1488: Chapter 1503: Poaching

Liu Yuye chuckled. "Boss Lin, can’t I look for you if nothing’s wrong?"

"Heh heh, of course you can. I’d be more than happy to." Lin Muxiao said with a smile.

"Boss Lin, are you free tonight? If you are, shall we have dinner together?" Liu Yuye invited.

"When a girl asks me out, that’s obviously a good thing. Name the place, I just happen to haven’t eaten yet!" Lin Muchen thought to himself, could it be that my charm is just too damn strong? Is that why girls keep calling to hook up? But thinking about it, that didn’t seem very likely. Liu Yuye was still a decent, proper woman; she shouldn’t be as thirsty as Ah Fang, right? Of course, what the truth actually was, Lin Mu had no clue; he was just randomly imagining things.

"Alright, then let’s meet later at that Western restaurant on Qianqing Road, it’s not far from the hotel you’re staying at." Liu Yuye said.

"Okay, I’ll head over now." Lin Mu replied.

After hanging up, Lin Mu casually came up with some excuse to Zhou Xun, then left the room. He went downstairs, out of the hotel, and headed toward the Western restaurant not far away.

Five minutes later, Lin Mu arrived at the restaurant, thinking Liu Yuye probably wouldn’t be there yet, but unexpectedly she was already waiting. When she saw Lin Mu come in, she waved at him from the table.

Lin Mu gave a slight smile, then walked over.

Have to say, Liu Yuye was also a beauty in the making—her skin was quite fair and tender, and her eyes were clear and bright. She looked very much like a Korean, especially when she smiled and her eyes slightly closed; it really was quite enchanting.

"Heh heh, girl." Lin Mu laughed as he walked up and greeted her.

"Brother Lin, you’re here. Sit." Liu Yuye said with a smile.

"Heh heh, girl, what did you want with me?" Lin Mu asked after sitting down.

"So what you mean, Brother Lin, is that if there’s nothing going on, I’m not allowed to ask you out to eat and have some tea?" Liu Yuye said, smiling.

"Of course you can, of course you can. Asking me out when nothing’s up—heh heh—could it be I’m just too handsome, so you’ve fallen for me?" Lin Mu joked.

Being teased like that, Liu Yuye couldn’t help laughing. "Brother Lin, I realize you’re really funny, not just funny but super narcissistic."

"Damn right. I’m very confident in my charm, heh heh. Girl, if you don’t have a boyfriend, why not consider me? How about I just take you in?" Lin Mu said with a grin.

"I wouldn’t dare. I’ve already heard about how many women you have, and all of them are drop-dead gorgeous. If I go in that lineup, I wouldn’t even count." Liu Yuye said, smiling.

"It’s fine, you’re a big beauty too, you meet all my criteria. How about you just follow me?" Lin Mu laughed.

"I think I’ll have to think it over a bit more. I’m not used to a few women sharing one man." Liu Yuye said.

"Heh heh, you’ll get used to it." Lin Mu laughed.

Just as Lin Mu and Liu Yuye were chatting away, a voice cut into their conversation—and it was an extremely arrogant voice.

"Yu Ye, so you’re here!"

Following the voice, a young guy walked over. From his outfit to his mannerisms, everything screamed arrogant swagger.

The young guy was wearing a Korean-style suit, shortened dress pants, shiny black leather shoes, and his hair was shellacked with gel, each strand sticking straight up. Talking as he walked, the young guy headed toward Liu Yuye.

When Liu Yuye saw this guy, her face was full of helplessness, and her eyes showed clear annoyance.

The young guy came over and sat down next to Liu Yuye without the slightest politeness. "Heh heh, Yu Ye, what are you doing here?"

Liu Yuye sighed, then said to the young guy, "Cheng Mingwei, how did you find me here?"

"Heh heh, Yu Ye, I care about you this much. Of course it’s easy to find you." Cheng Mingwei grinned at her.

Liu Yuye showed a completely helpless look. "You actually sent people to tail me?"

"Yu Ye, you’re saying it wrong. I love you, I care about you, so that’s called sending people to protect you. How can you call it tailing you?" Cheng Mingwei said very seriously.

"Cheng Mingwei, your conditions are decent. I’m sure a lot of girls like you. But the two of us really aren’t suitable, so please let me go." Liu Yuye looked at him helplessly as she spoke.

"Yu Ye, that won’t do. This marriage was agreed to by your dad. You can’t go back on your word." Cheng Mingwei said.

"My dad is my dad, I’m me. Back then, when our Liu Family borrowed money from your Cheng Family, we can pay you back double, but this marriage can’t count." Liu Yuye said.

Sitting on the side, Lin Mu hadn’t spoken. Hearing this, he more or less understood. It must’ve been that earlier on, the Liu Family had a financial crisis, relatives and friends couldn’t help, and in the end it was the Cheng Family that generously came to the rescue. Of course, there’s no free lunch in this world; no one just hands out money for nothing. It always comes with conditions—and this condition was Liu Yuye’s marriage.

This kind of thing wasn’t surprising in the least.

Cheng Mingwei smiled at Liu Yuye, then said, "Yu Ye, you know our Cheng Family doesn’t lack money, so what I want is you, not the cash. If you’re short of money, I can give you even more."

Liu Yuye was helpless. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually... actually I have a boyfriend."

Cheng Mingwei frowned, looking at her. "Who? Who dares to steal my wife? Say it—who is it? I’ll beat that bastard to death."

Liu Yuye lifted her head and glanced at Lin Mu, her eyes pleading.

Seeing the situation, Lin Mu thought, damn, it was obvious what was going on. Looked like this pot was his to carry.

"Fuck..." Lin Mu let out a deeply depressed sigh. Damn, I’m really unlucky, why do I always run into this kind of shit? This is way too miserable, isn’t it?

"Hurry up and say who it is. I wanna see what kind of skills he’s got to dare steal my woman. I’ll kill him!" Cheng Mingwei roared, furious.

"Um... it’s... him..." Liu Yuye pointed at Lin Mu and said softly to Cheng Mingwei.

As soon as she pointed at Lin Mu, Cheng Mingwei glared at him, eyes practically trying to kill him on the spot, as if Lin Mu had already slept with his wife. Then again, after what Liu Yuye said, it was basically the same as that.

"Don’t be impulsive... I just like the person I love. Maybe the two of us just aren’t meant to be, so..."

"Shut up."

Cheng Mingwei bellowed, cutting her off, then lunged forward, his right hand shooting out and clamping hard around Lin Mu’s neck.

Cheng Mingwei’s moves weren’t bad; that grab was full of strength and pretty fast. For an ordinary person, he might have taken them down in one move. But he didn’t know the man sitting in front of him was the Wolf Fang Mercenary King of the North African Grassland. Lin Mu simply shifted and dodged lightly, though he couldn’t be bothered to counterattack, because even if this guy locked his throat, it couldn’t threaten his safety in the slightest.
