Chapter 1223: Chapter 1238: Just Messing With You

However, what was puzzling was that when An Qi’Er heard Lin Mu’s words, she didn’t seem angry at all. Her eyebrows furrowed, and there was a look of inexplicable confusion in her eyes, as if asking, "What’s up with this guy today? Is he alright?"

"An Qi’Er, please don’t be mad at me. I bought the prettiest flowers for you! Please accept my sincere apology!" Lin Mu said earnestly.

"Brother Lin, what’s going on with you today? You’re acting very odd!" An Qi’Er said after being stunned for a while. Lin Mu’s behavior today was really abnormal, right? She then touched Lin Mu’s forehead with her small hand and murmured, "Hmm, doesn’t seem like you have a fever!"

"Oh?" Seeing An Qi’Er’s expression and actions, and hearing her words, Lin Mu was even more puzzled. How was this completely different from what he imagined?

What’s going on? Just then, Xiong Xiaoxiao burst into laughter beside them.

Seeing Xiong Xiaoxiao’s triumphant laughter, Lin Mu immediately understood what was happening. Damn, he was played by this little brat. It turned out An Qi’Er wasn’t angry at all, but the little girl wanted to prank Lin Mu by intentionally tricking him.

"You cheeky brat, dare to play a trick on your Brother Lin!" Lin Mu said, tapping Xiong Xiaoxiao’s head.

Xiong Xiaoxiao rubbed her forehead with a grin and said, "Brother Lin, you always teased me before, so it’s my turn to tease you now."

Looking at this mischievous little girl, Lin Mu couldn’t help but admit that she acted quite convincingly. Despite being the Wolf Fang Soldier King with a super-sharp Seventh Sense, he was completely deceived by her without suspicion, even foolishly buying flowers like a romantic hero to apologize to a beauty. Today was a big lesson!

"Alright, Brother Lin, sit down quickly!" Xiong Xiaoxiao teased with a giggle.

Lin Mu sat down next to An Qi’Er gloomily. He couldn’t believe his lifelong reputation was fooled by this little girl, causing a moment of tension that almost gave him a prostate problem.

"What exactly did you two talk about?" Realizing he was tricked by the little girl, Lin Mu asked.

"Actually, Xiaoxiao told me about this yesterday, and I also knew. At that time, we didn’t know each other, and you were just helping Xiaoxiao attend a parent meeting, so there’s no talk of tricking or not. I’m not one to make a fuss over nothing, so it’s no big deal!" An Qi’Er said.

"Ah, truly an understanding beauty of a teacher, that’s the kind of girl I like the best!" Lin Mu nodded with satisfaction. As his woman of the Wolf Fang Soldier King, she should be gentle and understanding like this.

From An Qi’Er’s words, Lin Mu finally understood. All along, this little girl Xiaoxiao was baiting him to take the bait! And Lin Mu listened to the little brat’s words without hesitation, believed them immediately. Had he been a bit suspicious and used his Seventh Sense to probe her little brain, he could have immediately sensed the little girl’s mischief!

Heh, Lin Mu couldn’t help but sigh, he was really too silly! Luckily, Xiong Xiaoxiao had no malice. If a powerful enemy had deceived him, Lin Mu would have been in trouble!

"Hee hee, Brother Lin, I don’t care; you have to promise me a condition you mentioned, your words must count," Xiong Xiaoxiao said, looking at Lin Mu.

"You little girl, I really can’t do anything about you." Lin Mu shook his head helplessly, feeling both love and annoyance towards this little rascal.

"La la la..." Xiong Xiaoxiao playfully stuck out her tongue.

"I’ll keep my word, but next time, dare to joke about me, don’t blame me for turning my face!" Lin Mu said.

"Hee hee, I won’t," Xiong Xiaoxiao laughed.

"That’s about right." Lin Mu finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Brother Lin, Teacher An, you two chat first. I haven’t been home for a few days, so I’m thinking of going back," Xiong Xiaoxiao said. Though Xiong Xiaoxiao is quite young, she understands everything. She definitely didn’t want to stay here as a third wheel.

Xiong Xiaoxiao bounced out of the restaurant, leaving it as Lin Mu’s domain. Lin Mu then raised the bright red bouquet of roses, and like a poet, with deep, magnetic male voice, he romantically professed, "An Qi’Er, I swear, I will defend your beauty with my life, ensuring your happiness forever. Please promise me, be my girlfriend...no, it should be my wife..."

An Qi’Er nodded shyly, "Hmm, no more deceiving me from now on!"

"Hey, I definitely won’t lie to you, rest assured." Lin Mu promised.

"I’ve already heard everything about you from Xiaoxiao, including your matters with her. Since I’m not mad at you, it means I’ve accepted it. The person I want is someone who has me in his heart, and whom I love," An Qi’Er said.

Lin Mu smiled, then wrapped his arm around An Qi’Er’s delicate body, holding her in his embrace, "Don’t worry, I guarantee you’ll never regret this choice."

With the Foot Bath Pavilion closed for internal reorganization by Gray Wolf and the others, Lin Mu had nothing to do, so he accompanied An Qi’Er for some fun. The two chatted in the cafe for quite a while, nurturing their relationship, then they came out and went to the amusement park for a while, finally watching a movie, thus spending the whole day.

As nighttime fell, Lin Mu suggested taking An Qi’Er out for dinner, but he was rejected. An Qi’Er wanted to cook for Lin Mu herself. Lin Mu had tasted An Qi’Er’s excellent dishes before, which were delicious and flavorful, better than those of a five-star hotel chef! So Lin Mu was more than willing, nodding in agreement, chuckling, perhaps he’d even spend the night at An Qi’Er’s place!

Of course, it wasn’t the first time he stayed overnight at An Qi’Er’s house. He’d previously spent a night there too, but without doing anything. This time it was different, as he had a new identity, that of An Qi’Er’s boyfriend, maybe even future husband.

Soon, Lin Mu drove to the market to buy some groceries and several bottles of wine since An Qi’Er’s home usually didn’t drink alcohol, and without wine, the household was incomplete. Only having good food without good wine is like having bought a big house without finding a beautiful mistress for it, how disappointing! Fine wine paired with a beauty, that’s the perfect combination!

After buying some good wine, the two returned to An Qi’Er’s home together. An Qi’Er immediately put on an apron, washed pots and pans, genuinely looking like a housewife! This was to prepare a meal for Lin Mu.

"Brother Lin, you can watch TV in the living room for a while, the food will be ready soon!" An Qi’Er said.

"Let’s do it together. Although I’m not good at cooking, I can help you a bit!" Lin Mu said.
