Chapter 1634: Chapter 1647: Miss, Let Me Treat You to a Meal

"Xiao Xiao, is that person your boyfriend? Did you two have a fight?" Back at the store, a girl called Xiaofeng, with a face glowing with gossip, eagerly came forward.

"No. I have nothing to do with him."

Ling Xiaoqiao shook her head. It was fine when she didn’t see Lin Mu, but once she did, her mood turned quite bad.

"If you have nothing to do with him, why are you running? Oh, I get it, he’s pursuing you, but you don’t like him, so you... Oh my god!" Xiaofeng exclaimed, clutching her chest, her eyes shining as she looked toward the entrance. Ling Xiaoqiao wondered why this chatterbox suddenly stopped talking, then saw people in the store looking behind her. She blinked and instinctively turned around...

Outside the boutique, seven or eight people worked together to erect a wall made of roses. The wall was huge, about four or five meters in length and width. In the sea of blazing red flowers, hundreds of white roses were arranged like dragons and snakes to spell out "Ling Xiaoqiao, I love you." Whoosh! A gentle breeze blew, causing the sea of flowers to ripple, mesmerizing everyone while sending wafts of fragrance into the shop.

"Am I dreaming? How many roses must there be?"

"So romantic, I’m so envious. When can my boyfriend have such a flair..."

Amidst the exclamations of the lovelorn, Lin Mu, dressed in white clothes, white pants, and white shoes, flicked a rose and walked up to the dazed Ling Xiaoqiao. Undeniably, Lin Mu looked quite presentable when dressed up.

With a sharp, sculpted face and a tall, well-proportioned figure, complemented by the extraordinary aura honed by battles, as he suavely halted his steps, suppressed gasps rose from all around. Several single saleswomen went red-cheeked, trembling with excitement, and some even clenched their thighs, a watery spring of passion in their eyes...

"Xiao Xiao, I was wrong, please forgive me, okay?"

Lin Mu gazed tenderly at Ling Xiaoqiao, his tone so gentle that it sent goosebumps crawling over his own skin.

The store suddenly quieted down, envious and jealous gazes fell upon Ling Xiaoqiao. Normally, women are emotional beings, and under such romantic gestures, even if not moved to tears, they might open their hearts a bit. But Ling Xiaoqiao was an exception; she simply couldn’t stand such showy pursuits by these handsome and wealthy types.

"No way!" With a cold snort, she snatched the rose from Lin Mu’s hand, threw it to the floor, stomped on it twice, and then turned back to the counter.

Wow! The store erupted in noisy excitement, and the spectators immediately got enthusiastic. Honestly, what could be more delightful than watching a rich, handsome man get blatantly slapped across the face?

Serves you right for showing off, serves you right for being a playboy, now you’ve got your comeuppance! According to the script, an enraged rich and handsome man would surely reveal his evil nature, storming off in rage with lines like "Don’t be so ungrateful," "Unappreciative wretch," and so on. Then, the goddess would cry in heartbreak, and the underdog would succeed...

Unfortunately, the spectators with dark imaginations were soon disappointed. Lin Mu, whose face had taken quite a hit, did not get angry, but instead grinned foolishly, ran cheerfully forward without any dignity.

"Babe, don’t be mad."

"Who’s your babe? Get lost." Ling Xiaoqiao snapped, looking annoyed. "If you don’t leave, I’ll call the police."

Oh, this trick again? Lin Mu, determined not to stop until succeeding, rolled his eyes and shamelessly said, "Call then, anyway, I’m here to shop, not to vandalize or steal, even the police can’t do anything to me."

"You..." Ling Xiaoqiao glared, about to curse, when she saw the boss suddenly appear in the store, staring intently in their direction. It’s clear that a saleswoman shouldn’t drive a customer away when doing business, so with no choice, she lowered her face and grudgingly said, "What do you want to buy, speak quickly."

"Um, what’s this attitude? When facing customers, shouldn’t you show a bit of a charming smile?"

Lin Mu’s eyebrow-raising expression instantly made Ling Xiaoqiao’s chest rise and fall in anger, resisting the urge to slap him across the face. Barely able to force a smile, she professionally began explaining. Apple’s phones were just these few models, after about ten minutes, Ling Xiaoqiao finished, "Sir, what do you need?"

"Wow, a pretty girl like you can’t let you waste your breath for nothing, package them all for me."

Though the spendthrift behavior of nouveau riche is frowned upon by locals, business owners eagerly hope to see more of them; after all, who beats people putting money down?

The boss’s eyes lit up, hurriedly directing several people to help, but unexpectedly Lin Mu waved them all away, "I just enjoy watching her pack stuff; you all stay away!"

A prestigious customer, practically a deity.

No one dared disobey him. The boss gave Ling Xiaoqiao an encouraging look and then withdrew, smiling.

"Are you playing with me on purpose?" Ling Xiaoqiao glared straight at him.

"Nope."

Lin Mu innocently propped his chin with his hand, staring at her without blinking, his obsessed, passionate gaze making Ling Xiaoqiao extremely uncomfortable. With a cold snort, she looked down and began packing phones into boxes one by one.

After finally finishing, she pushed a pile of shopping bags forward, "Can you leave now?"

In her view, Lin Mu should have no reason to linger anymore, but unexpectedly, his shamelessness had far surpassed her expectations. She watched as Lin Mu smirked, turned his head, and waved, whereupon a youth with dyed yellow hair and a strong build sprinted in.

"See, my buddy here wants to get a couple of iPhones to mess around with, could you introduce the features again?"

Ling Xiaoqiao: "..."

So they say, don’t fear people being shameless, fear them having no limits. Lin Mu’s spending to stick around left Ling Xiaoqiao completely at a loss. One, two, by the time the fifth Lanzai carried iPhones out like cabbages, the parched Ling Xiaoqiao finally burst out, "What the hell do you want?"

"Me?" Lin Mu touched his nose, shyly smiled, "I just want to have dinner with you..."

As night descended, the bustling food street was lively. For the working class, gathering some friends to drink beer, eat barbeque, and casually brag about the Pearl River Delta was indeed a great way to relax.

"Remember, the first time we met was in that alley." Lin Mu squinted, his face full of reminiscing, "That day, you drank so much and threw up all over the place, you didn’t even notice me walking up..."
