It was quiet, so quiet that even the sound of someone swallowing saliva could be heard clearly.
Of course, it was also mixed with the sound of the car starting.
“Boss, where are we…” going first?
“To the Jing residence.” The voice was frosty, and the moment the sentence ended, the car roared off wildly, leaving his brothers dazed by the roadside.
Darn, why is he in such a rush!
The car rushed forward, and the inside remained quiet.
The helpless guy sitting in the co-driver’s seat only had a stomach full of bitterness.
Why did he choose to hitch a ride with the boss? It was self-inflicted! He’d have rather run back home; perhaps he might have even had some romantic adventure on his way. No wonder he saw so many eyes gleaming with schadenfreude earlier.
Those treacherous guys.
Looking at Xigua in the rearview mirror, he looked just like a frightened young wife.
Lately, they’ve been trained so harshly that they’re all on the brink of mental break down.
The boss recently seems to have a very short fuse, and his mood… is unpredictable.
His behavior is bizarre.
Sitting quietly in the back seat, Ling Li watched the scenery whiz by, but his thoughts had long drifted off.
He decided to take a temporary vacation for two reasons. First, he felt he had been too hard on his men during training recently and thought they deserved a break. Secondly, he wanted to return home for a visit.
Mu Lin promised to help him look at Grandpa’s health issues. Although he didn’t doubt her word, he still wanted to go back and see for himself.
Actually, she had promised to help Grandpa Mei, but he assumed it was because of him.
As he watched the shining license plate get closer and closer to him, the gatekeepers instinctively straightened their backs while thousands of thoughts dashed through their minds.
Darn, why has he returned? Didn’t he just come home some time ago?
Of course, he had no intention of noticing or acknowledging these sprightly soldiers.
“Young Master, you’re back.” Seeing Jing Chen, Song Qi was taken aback, but then smiled.
Presumably, the young master has come back for Grandpa.
“Yes.” Jing Chen gave Song Qi a faint nod, walked directly into the house without hesitation, and asked, “Where’s Grandpa?”
“Grandpa is in the living room reading the newspaper.” Song Qi replied.
“Has Mu Lin been here?” Jing Chen asked casually.
Song Qi nodded, “Doctor Mu Lin was here a week ago. She prescribed some medicine for Grandpa to take for the next half a month.”
As expected, the young master acted differently towards Doctor Mu Lin. This was the first time Song Qi had ever heard him mention a woman’s name. He wondered how surprised the other two young masters would be if they found out.
“Hmm.” He nodded thoughtfully.
“Although it’s just for body conditioning, Doctor Mu Lin’s prescription has definitely shown visible effect. Just after a week, Grandpa seemed much more energetic and slept more soundly at night,” Song Qi continued.
Nothing can be more delightful than seeing Grandpa’s health improving day by day.
“Hmm.” He nodded calmly again, as if things should be this way. There was absolutely no suspicion or surprise.
Given Mu Lin’s reputation as the Poison Doctor and her exceptional medical skills, if her medicine didn’t work, it would indeed be contrary to her remarkable reputation.
…
“Grandpa.” Jing Chen said as he sat down on the couch.
“Xiaochen?” Grandpa was surprised at first, but the next moment, he smiled, “Why are you back?” Although he was happy, he was a bit puzzled.
Didn’t he just return home recently?
“Hmm, the training has been too intense lately. I gave them a day off and decided to visit home.” Jing Chen explained simply.
“I see.” Grandpa Jing answered with a smile, “The girl Mu Lin was here a few days ago, did you know that?”
“Hmm.” He nodded, “Song just told me that.”
However, Grandpa Jing’s impression of Mu Lin seemed quite positive.
“I see.” Grandpa Jing put away his newspaper and said, “But her medical skills are rather good. I’ve been feeling much better and sleeping well these past few days.”
Such excellent medical skills at a young age, she really is extraordinary.
Jing Chen remained silent, waiting for Grandpa to state his main point.
Ever since Grandpa mentioned Mu Lin, Jing Chen knew Grandpa must have something to tell him.
And it was about Mu Lin.
“Xiaochen, I heard… you promised to marry Mu Lin?”
As expected, his words were quite direct.
“…Yes.” Jing Chen did not deny it.
Although it was said as a joke or to tease her, he indeed made that comment. He didn’t even know why he would say such words.
“And… then what?” Grandpa Jing sounded slightly anxious.
“What do you mean?” Jing Chen was quite confused about Grandpa Jing’s thought process.
“I mean, did she respond to you afterwards?” Grandpa Jing urged. For the first time, he was slightly annoyed by his grandson’s calm demeanor. He was very concerned about his grandson’s potential partner.
“Do I really need to ask her?” Jing Chen countered, knowing everyone must have taken it as a joke. Only Grandpa would take it seriously.
Jing Chen had no idea that everyone else, except him and Mu Lin, had taken his words seriously.
And they’ve taken it very seriously!
