Chapter 1627: Chapter 1640: Together with the Female CEO

As Lin Mu was overwhelmed with sorrow and didn’t know what to do, Lei Xiaojiao awoke. Seeing Lin Mu, her eyes first flashed with terror, but were quickly replaced with boundless indifference, "Why are you still here."

Lin Mu opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

"Sorry? Only realizing you’re sorry after the deed is done, what good is it?"

Lei Xiaojiao let out a cold chuckle, frowned and sat up, her graceful silhouette looked so beautiful under the sunset, yet her skin as white as mutton fat was still marred by several blue bruises, clearly left from the night before.

"What, you still want to go again?"

Seeing the dull expression of the man, Lei Xiaojiao curled her mouth in disdain.

"No!" Lin Mu shook his head, after a moment, he let out a sigh, and said, "Xiao Jiao, I’m sorry."

"Ha, you only realize to say sorry after doing it, what good is it?"

Lei Xiaojiao covered her body with the couch cushion, saying coldly, "Get out, I don’t want to see you again."

"I..." Lin Mu was about to speak, but Lei Xiaojiao suddenly grabbed the tea cup shards on the ground and held them against her neck, "Either get out now, or I’ll die right in front of you."

"Don’t, I’ll go, I’ll leave right away, please don’t do anything rash."

Lin Mu was startled, quickly got up to dress, moved his lips, but really didn’t know what to say, and could only silently walk out of the apartment. At the moment the security door closed, he clearly heard Lei Xiaojiao’s sobbing.

The sun set, and another night had arrived.

Lin Mu took out his phone to check the time, only to find the luxury gold model worth thousands had been water damaged and was out of commission, forcing him to shake his head with a bitter smile, tossing it into the trash bin, he walked aimlessly forward amidst the envious gaze of youths thinking "you’re really showing off".

An assertive life occasionally having setbacks isn’t a big deal, but falling to this extent left Lin Mu completely unprepared.

Ling Xiaoqiao still hadn’t been comforted, and now he had hurt Lei Xiaojiao beyond repair, plus the persistent troubles from the female CEO Sophie... he was feeling overwhelmed, sensing signs of premature aging. Facing the splendid lights, bustling traffic, the solitary Lin Mu unknowingly walked into Yunhai Mansion. Fingerprint verification, entering the password, elevator straight to the top floor.

After office hours, the entire floor was quiet, absent the lively hustle of the daytime congregation of beauties. This wide and somewhat eerie silence was surprisingly enjoyable for Lin Mu. He silently cracked a smile, was about to walk to the lounge, when suddenly, light footsteps echoed from the hot water room.

The beautiful CEO adorned in bear slippers came out carefully holding a bowl of braised beef noodles.

"Wow, work’s over, why aren’t you home?"

Lin Mu suddenly spoke, startling Sophie, causing the bowl of noodles to crash to the floor. Upon recognizing the annoying man before her, the female CEO raised her brows, irritably said, "You’re annoying, appearing so suddenly nearly scared me."

"Are you a mouse, being so timid."

"It’s easy for you to say." Sophie snorted, picked up the bowl and tossed it into the trash bin, saying, "Such a big floor, alone, who wouldn’t be scared?"

Lin Mu curled his lips, "Come on, why insist on sleeping in the office, isn’t it better to go back to the villa."

"Do you have the nerve to talk? Sister Nan went on business, you happen to roam around all day, leaving me to be pestered until late by Nanny Wang’s odd son as soon as I return." Sophie said in frustration.

"Really? That freak also moved to the Mountain Villa?" Lin Mu got a bit anxious. Clearly aware that fake lady had evil intentions, yet letting him move in was like leading the wolves to the door, wasn’t it?

"What else? Nanny Wang’s been with the Su Family for decades, if not family, close enough. Her son came, can I ask him to stay in a hotel?"

While speaking, the two returned to the office, Sophie bent down to dig out a few instant noodle packs from under the cabinet, "Braised beef, mushroom chicken stew, and seafood flavor, want any?"

Feeling his stomach, definitely a bit hungry, "Get me a seafood flavor?" Saying this, he crossed his legs.

"Then aren’t you going to make it, standing here waiting for me to serve you?"

Sophie glared, tossing two bowls of noodles into Lin Mu’s arms, "Remember, add more water, I like soup..."

Twenty minutes later, watching Sophie finish the instant noodles cleanly, not a drop of soup left, Lin Mu couldn’t help but say, "Was it that good?"

"Mm, it’s nice! What’s wrong?" The beautiful CEO pulled a napkin, elegantly wiping her mouth.

"Nothing, I just feel your actions don’t really suit a billionaire CEO."

Lin Mu shook his head, added a sentence, "Nowadays, even those with a bit of status don’t eat such junk food, let alone squeezing into street stalls with a mix of people to drink beer and eat barbecue..."

Remembering the scene of the female CEO cutely gasping with a flushed face from the spiciness, Lin Mu was left spellbound.

"According to you, only sitting in high-end restaurants, poking veal steaks with a knife and fork is a real CEO."

Sophie couldn’t help but laugh, "Living in this world is already trying enough, why maintain a high-class facade 24/7 to inconvenience oneself? Eat what you want, do what you want, after all, it’s only a few decades, leaving no regrets is the right thing!"

"Leaving no regrets..." Lin Mu murmured repeatedly, his suppressed mood eased significantly.

That’s right, life is only a few short decades, why dwell in momentary setbacks? Instead of frowning and feeling sorry for oneself, why not plan and strike bravely, isn’t it just a few girlfriends? He’s weathered storms, stepping on several little boats can’t be an issue, right?

Little did Sophie know that her casual words had firmed Lin Mu’s supreme resolution for dating, she fanned her neck with little hands in irritation, "I’m going to take a shower, will you stay here or go back to the villa?"

"Of course stay here, I need to protect you, right?"

Lin Mu straightened his chest professionally, but before he could maintain a serious demeanor for half a second, he broke into a wry smile, "Hey, there’s a shower in your small bedroom? It’s so hot, why don’t we..."

"You better get lost."

Sophie rolled her eyes, and turned to leave, "You skip work every day, but now you thought of protecting me, huh, is it necessary? When you’re not here, no one’s come to cause trouble. Honestly, my five million was so not worth it!"

Bang! The door was forcefully closed, then a click, locked.

"Five million and I haven’t seen a dime yet."

Lin Mu muttered, dejected, sat at the computer to browse beauties online...
