Chapter 175: Mu Xichen Has Always Been Ambitious
Mu Donglin paused and then pushed her away.
His face hardened as he looked at her. “What are you doing?”
Lin Kerou didn’t expect Mu Donglin to have this attitude. She froze and then said immediately, “Brother Donglin…”
“Were you just pretending to have fainted?” Mu Donglin’s face turned black and he stood up. “Do you know what kind of consequences your behavior has brought!”
Lin Kerou panicked and said, “Brother Donglin, no, I was really uncomfortable! I really couldn’t stand just now…”
“What about now?” Mu Donglin stood there and looked at her, his cold face appearing a little helpless. He sighed and said, “Kerou, stop making trouble for no reason. It’s not good for you to fool around at such an occasion.”
Lin Kerou looked hurt. She reached out and grabbed Mu Donglin’s hand. “Brother Donglin, I feel so uncomfortable.”
“Where?” Mu Donglin reached out and touched her forehead. “The doctor should be arriving soon. He will take a look at you.”
Lin Kerou stared at him and pulled his hand. She said, “Brother Donglin, you told me before that you’re only doing it because of the marriage contract that your elders have made, and that you will push the contract to Mu Xichen once you have the opportunity. But why did you introduce her as your fiancèe at such an occasion? If you do that, wouldn’t everyone know about it, and by then…”
“Kerou, I have my plan.” Mu Donglin caressed her face. “Mu Xichen is very concerned about this woman. You also saw that they were having dinner together last time.”
“Then just let them be.” Lin Kerou’s voice was very low. “Aren’t you eager for it to happen? When the time comes, you can release the news that it was Mu Xichen who came in as a third party…”
“Kerou.” Mu Donglin interrupted her. “You don’t understand. Mu Xichen would never do such a low-class thing. He will slowly penetrate and use all means to finally snatch it away when you least expect it.”
Mu Xichen had always been ambitious.
However, people who didn’t understand him would think he was honest and kind.
Over the years, how many people had been fooled by his appearance?
It was uncountable!
“I can only start by being strong first and by broadcasting our relationship. No matter how powerful Mu Xichen is, he will have no way at all if everyone recognizes Li Beinian as my fiancèe.”
Lin Kerou’s face was full of hurt. “Then what about me? Now, people are calling me the third party, but Li Beinian is the true third party. We have grown up together, Brother Donglin…”
“Kerou.” Mu Donglin looked at her deeply. “I only treat you as a sister, stop making trouble.”
Lin Kerou pursed her lips and pulled his arm fiercely.
Mu Donglin was pulled down and Lin Kerou immediately raised her face to kiss his lips.
Her lips were soft and sweet and the touch softened Mu Donglin’s heart.
But his logical thinking still pulled him back. He gently pushed her away and said, “I’m going out first. Wait for the doctor to check on you.”
Lin Kerou wasn’t reconciled and shouted with red eyes, “Brother Donglin, let me ask you one question!”
Mu Donglin paused.
“You don’t like her, and you just treat her as a tool to handle Mu Xichen, right?”
Mu Donglin glanced back at her and said without thinking, “Of course. It’s rare to find something that Mu Xichen cares so much about, so how could I not make use of it?”
Lin Kerou softened and smiled. “I understand.”
For some reason, Mu Donglin felt a sudden blockage in his heart when he said this.
He stared deeply at Lin Kerou’s smile and said, “Rest well.”
