"Haha, what are you afraid of? This belongs to our company!"
"Why rush? There's plenty of ti tonight!"
"Alright then, don't forget tonight, and make sure not to close the door!" Lin Mu grinned.
"Got it, your mind is always on these things!" Zhou Xun playfully hit Lin Mu, feeling quite shy.
"Big star, there's sothing I want to discuss with you about tonight's dance event!" Lin Mu put his arm around Zhou Xun's slender waist and sat on the sofa.
"What is it?" Zhou Xun asked.
"Recently, the Tsar Group has been causing trouble, and I haven't figured out who they are. You know they've tried to harm us several tis recently, so I need to investigate this as quickly as possible. That's why I'm hosting this dance tonight. I invited Sharapova, the mayor of Russia's Khabarovsk, as my dance partner to investigate her, so don't mind!" Lin Mu said to Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun smiled, "Hmph, I thought it was sothing big. Got it. If I minded, would I still not mind with so many sisters at ho?"
"Haha, I knew you, my big star wife, are the most understanding!" Lin Mu grinned and then kissed Zhou Xun's cheek.
To be honest, Zhou Xun is indeed the most understanding and empathetic among all the girls, possibly due to her different background. Zhou Xun seems more mature, more considerate, more sensible. She knows when she can cause a fuss and when she can't, and she definitely won't fuss when she can't.
Unlike so foolish won who are spoiled to the heavens by n, constantly roaring like a shrew, extrely jealous, giving n no face whatsoever, embarrassing them in all venues, ruining their reputation. Such won are harder to serve than aunts, and Lin Mu obviously dislikes such won.
Fortunately, the won at the Lin Family Mansion are all understanding, elegant, considerate, and won't throw tantrums or act spoiled in public!
"Hmph, listen, it's enough to have us while at ho; no flirting outside!" Zhou Xun pointed at Lin Mu and said.
"Oh, got it, got it!" Lin Mu quickly responded.
"As long as you know!"
"Oh, big star, it's al ti. Have you eaten yet?" Lin Mu looked at the ti; it was already noon.
"Not yet, but I don't feel hungry!" Zhou Xun said.
"Let's go grab a bite at the downstairs restaurant; nothing else to do anyway!" Lin Mu suggested.
"Alright!" Zhou Xun nodded.
Then Lin Mu and Zhou Xun ca downstairs together; there was a modestly sized restaurant not far from the film company, with a rather elegant ambiance. Lin Mu had visited a few tis before. They entered, ordered so food, and two glasses of juice.
"Brother Lin, in a few days, it's Boss Ren's birthday. He invited ; do you think I should go?" Zhou Xun asked Lin Mu from across the table.
"Boss Ren's birthday?"
"Yes, soon. It'll be in about a week!" Zhou Xun nodded.
"Do you want to go?" Lin Mu asked.
"Of course I do, but going alone would be inconvenient, so I hope you can accompany . Do you have ti?" Zhou Xun looked at Lin Mu with a hopeful expression.
"Haha, that sounds great! We're business partners with Boss Ren, as well as old friends. We should definitely go!" Lin Mu smiled.
"Hmm, okay then. What gift should I give Boss Ren?" Zhou Xun asked expectantly.
Lin Mu looked at Zhou Xun. She probably didn't know that Boss Ren was her real grandfather. Zhou Xun had finally found success in her career; would Boss Ren seize this chance to reunite with his granddaughter?
Lin Mu actually felt for Zhou Xun. In his view, Zhou Xun and Boss Ren should have reconciled long ago, but perhaps Elder Ren had reasons for not wanting Zhou Xun to know the truth. With Elder Ren's birthday coming up, Lin Mu thought it was necessary for them to reunite as grandfather and granddaughter.
But how would Zhou Xun react upon learning Elder Ren was her grandfather and had been keeping it from her? Would she cry in grief, or feel so resentnt? Being Zhou Xun's sole support now, Lin Mu knew well how much she yearned for a family mber.
Yet this yearning wasn't for a romantic partner like Lin Mu, but rather genuine familial love. At this mont, Zhou Xun suddenly having a grandfather — would she feel happy? After all, her relatives hadn't raised her from childhood and left her to fend for herself in an orphanage.
Actually, Lin Mu sensed that Zhou Xun seed to have an innate closeness to Elder Ren. Whenever he was ntioned, Zhou Xun's face would unknowingly light up with joy, a smile not seen at other tis — only when discussing Elder Ren. So Lin Mu eagerly anticipated Zhou Xun reconciling with Boss Ren. Certainly, Elder Ren had done enough for Zhou Xun over the past year; her growth and fa were practically stewarded by him.
"Brother Lin, what are you thinking?" Zhou Xun noticed Lin Mu deep in thought and asked.
"Oh, nothing!" Lin Mu snapped out of it and grinned, "What do you want to give Elder Ren?"
"Hmm..." Zhou Xun pondered, "I haven't figured it out yet. I think it has to be sothing special; Boss Ren is wealthy and might not be too fond of expensive things!"
"Haha, there's still ti. Think it over slowly!" Lin Mu grinned.
"So what are you planning to give Boss Ren, Brother Lin?"
"You're my wife; I'll take you there, and whatever you give will represent my gift!" Lin Mu chuckled.
"Co on, Brother Lin, that's too stingy! You have to prepare a gift for Boss Ren too. After all, Boss Ren has helped you quite a bit, gifting you the entire film company. Plus, Boss Ren's getting older; not giving him anything won't look right!" Zhou Xun said.
"Alright, I'll give one, a good one!" Lin Mu nodded his head, feeling amused. Is familial affection sothing you instinctively sense?
The food arrived; Lin Mu and Zhou Xun chatted while eating. After finishing the al, with nothing else to do, they took a stroll hand-in-hand, enjoying so sweet monts together. As dusk was about to fall, they reluctantly parted ways — Zhou Xun returned to Flying Dragon Film and Television Company to prepare for the evening event, while Lin Mu drove to Chang'an Hotel to pick up Sharapova.
