Chapter 51 - A Tyrannical Man
Chapter 51 A Tyrannical Man
Ling Qing had an extraordinary temperament, which was usually hidden deep and hard to see. Fu Yang had studied psychology abroad, so he could see through Ling Qing.
Noticing that Fu Yang stared at Lin Qing for a long time, Mu Li pulled Lin Qing over into his arms.
“General Manager Fu, will my request get approved?”
Fu Yang withdrew his gaze and pondered for a moment before saying, “How about I’ll approve to let Lin Qing have a temporary leave on vacation? I need more time to think over her resignation.”
Fu Yang compromised unwillingly.
To Fu Yang’s surprise, Mu Li nodded friendly.
“But…” Lin Qing opened her mouth at this time and broke the temporary silence.
“Bu what?” Fu Yang asked.
“Do I have to start the vacation today?” Lin Qing asked softly.
Fu Yang put down the pen in his hand. “It depends on you.”
After saying that, he added, “However, Lin Qing, I want to remind you that you should remember why you decided to join this company in the first place.”
Hearing this, Lin Qing responded with a sincere nodding.
As the two of them talked, Mu Li just watched by the side and was quite depressed.
Was there anything between them that he did not know?
Mu Li was very dissatisfied and secretly pinched Lin Qing’s waist.
Lin Qing didn’t expect this. She let out a cry by the pinching.
Fu Yang was on the inner line and asking his secretary to come in. He looked up to check out what was happening when hearing Lin Qing’s cry.
He saw that Lin Qing leaned even closer to Mu Li, with her shoulders tightly controlled by Mu Li’s hands.
Fu Yang smiled quietly.
It looked like Mu Li, who was known as a ruthless and decisive commander, would also be jealous in a romantic relationship.
When the secretary came in and saw Lin Qing and Mu Li, she put on a strange look.
Now that the General Manager had agreed, Lin Qing had no excuse to stay in the company. With her fingers crossed together, she was taken out of the company unwillingly by Mu Li.
Before she left, she hadn’t had time to talk to Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao did not show up in time like the way she did a few moments ago. When they left in Mu Li’s silver sports car of Mercedes-Benz, Lin Qing still did not see Lu Xiao.
Lin Qing couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
“Lin Qing, I didn’t expect you to be so popular,” Mu Li said inadvertently.
Lin Qing did not get his implication. She placed her head against the seat. “It’s just fine.”
She replied in a flat tone.
Mu Li got unhappy, “What is your relationship with the General Manager?”
Lin Qing blinked. “He is my boss.”
“And?” Mu Li couldn’t help but ask.
He didn’t like this feeling of being suspicious. It made him depressed and agitated.
Actually, he wasn’t like this before.
“Nothing more.” Lin Qing found that Mu Li was strange today.
When they stopped at an intersection and waited for the traffic light for more than 90 seconds, Lin Qing raised her arm and placed her palm on Mu Li’s forehead.
Mu Li put on a faint smile. “Are you so impatient?”
“Huh?” Lin Qing didn’t know what he was talking about. She only said, “I want to check if you’re having a fever.”
Mu Li was speechless.
“Why do you think I’m having a fever?”
Lin Qing said seriously, “Something’s wrong with you today. I think it must be because you’re sick.”
The way she talked was like Mu Li was already gravely ill.
“But don’t worry, I will take care of you,” Lin Qing said solemnly.
Speaking of taking care of him, probably Lin Qing was the one who needed to be taken care of when she was sick.
Mu Li pushed Lin Qing’s hand away dejectedly. “I AM FINE.”
When he said that, he felt that one day he would faint out in anger because of Lin Qing.
Lin Qing did not mind about it. “But you must tell me if you are sick.”
When the green light was on, Mu Li drove past the intersection and smiled. “If I get sick, I will definitely press you in bed for three whole days and nights.”
The window was half open, and as soon as the car started, there was a whistling sound from outside. So Lin Qing did not hear the first part of Mu Li’s words. She only heard something like three whole days and nights.
“Three whole days and nights… Isn’t that a little too long?” As Lin Qing spoke, she looked ahead through the windshield.
Mu Li was silent for a moment and then said meaningfully, “With you, it’s not long at all.”
Thirty minutes later, Mu Li parked the car in a large parking lot.
Lin Qing jumped out of the car and looked around. It was a strange place to her.
Mu Li also got out of the car and walked around the car to hug Lin Qing forcefully. Lin Qing resisted a little bit.
The road was wide, but Mu Li only left a tiny bit of space for Lin Qing to walk. Lin Qing was very depressed.
“Well…” After a while, she couldn’t help but remind him, “There’s a lot of space on your side. Shall we walk a little closer to the middle of the road?”
Lin Qing asked tentatively and carefully glanced at Mu Li.
Mu Li calmly rejected, “No.”
“Why?” Lin Qing felt aggrieved.
The way they were walking right now made her can only stick close to Mu Li when walking, which was very inconvenient.
Of course, this was Mu Li’s true intention.
But Mu Li offered a kind proposal to her. “If you agree to do one thing for me, I will leave you more space.”
“What is it?” Lin Qing’s eyes flashed with a golden light.
“Kiss me.” Mu Li raised his head leisurely.
The light of anticipation in Lin Qing’s eyes instantly extinguished.
“I think it’s okay to walk just like this,” Lin Qing immediately changed her mind and pretended that she did not notice Mu Li’s sharp eyes. She lowered her head and got closer to him.
Mu Li said with some pity, “That’s too bad. I had intended to let you go.”
Lin Qing became even more depressed with her head down.
“How about…” she tried to bargain.
Mu Li shook his head with much pity. “Kiss me.”
Lin Qing glanced around. Although it was a strange place to her, there were quite a few passers-by.
She finally made up her mind and turned around to put her arms around Mu Li’s neck, gently kissing him on the lips.
His lips were a little cold.
Lin Qing thought like this when she kissed him quickly and carelessly.
When Lin Qing finished the kiss, Mu Li touched her lips and said, “I was going to say that kiss me when we get home.”
Thump. Lin Qing felt her heart dropped on the ground and broken.
Mu Li whispered by her ear, “I didn’t expect you to take the initiative. I’m very happy.”
Lin Qing’s heart thumped again, and it was beating fiercely.
Not long after that, they stopped in front of a building. Lin Qing still didn’t figure out where they were. She only felt that the building looked familiar.
Mu Li took Lin Qing to walk inside. Lin Qing saw a well-dressed receptionist standing at the front desk of the magnificent hall. The hall was the size of half a basketball court.
There were a pair of uniquely shaped sofas placed in the hall. Four or five people who looked like noble guests sat scattered on the sofas.
The artworks placed around reflected the whole scene. Lin Qing only thought of one word to describe it: elegant.
At one glance, Lin Qing knew that it was a place frequently visited by senior figures. No wonder Lin Qing felt unfamiliar with it.
Mu Li should be a regular guest, and he knew well about the internal structure of this place. Instead of walking to the front desk, he directly led Lin Qing to the elevator on the right. Along the way, Lin Qing felt the respectful gaze from the receptionist.
Lin Qing seemed to have gotten used to this.
They arrived at the elevator. While they were waiting, someone happened to stand up from the semi-circular sofa and walked over.
“Mu Li?” the man asked in surprise when he approached.
Mu Li calmly turned around with an indifferent expression. “Shan Lin, how’s everything going recently?”
Shan Lin was the actual ruler in power of the Tianlin Group and the successor of the Shan family.
He was also Shan Rong’s older brother and Mu Li’s old friend.
During these years, Shan Lin had been busy with the Group’s business all day long and seldom contacted his friends, including Mu Li.
However, the real reason was the certain matter that no one could forget.
They didn’t expect to meet each other here at this moment.
“It’s been a while since you came here last time.” Shan Lin seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and he didn’t feel embarrassed when speaking.
“Yes, it has been about three to four years.” Mu Li’s attitude was somewhat cold.
Lin Qing listened to them talking by the side, and even she could tell that Mu Li was not friendly with this man. However, Shan Lin wasn’t angry and forced a smile.
They didn’t talk any more. Then the elevator arrived and the door opened.
Several people walked out. As they passed by, Lin Qing smelled several kinds of perfume.
Some were strong and some were light, but all of them smelled pleasant.
Lin Qing thought that everyone who visited this place had good taste.
Then the three of them got into the elevator. The atmosphere was a little weird for a time.
In the elevator, Lin Qing and Mu Li stood on one side, while Shan Lin stood opposite them. Fortunately, there was sufficient room inside so that they could stay away from each other.
As the elevator went up, Lin Qing looked up at the man opposite them. He was a little skinny but looked experienced and mature.
When Mu Li called out the man’s name, Lin Qing got to know that the man’s surname was also Shan.
Did he have any relationship with Shan Rong?
Normally, at this point in the story, most people could basically arrive at the conclusion that Shan Lin was Shan Rong’s brother. But Lin Qing guessed for a long time and ended up lowering her head silently.
“I heard you got married. This must be your wife.” Shan Lin broke the silence.
Mu Li did not answer. Instead, Lin Qing, who had seldom talked to strangers, replied, “Yes, I am.”
This was the first time that Lin Qing took the initiative to introduce herself to others. Mu Li put on an unhappy look.
Shan Lin asked, “How long have you known each other?”
It seemed that he was asking Lin Qing.
Lin Qing felt the same way. Just as she was about to reply, Mu Li suddenly turned her around and forced her to face him.
Lin Qing blinked her eyes in confusion.
Mu Li held her head from behind with one hand and held her waist with the other. Before she figured out what was going on, Mu Li kissed her.
He kissed Lin Qing’s lips, kissing her fiercely and causing her to feel pain.
“Mmm…”
Lin Qing was a little uncomfortable and tried to push him away.
The sound of their lips fraction echoed in the elevator. It was somewhat awkward.
After a long time, Mu Li let go of Lin Qing when her lips heated up by the kissing.
Lin Qing was still puzzled. Her hands were still pulling on Mu Li’s front part of his clothes. She lowered her head and found a button that she had accidentally ripped off from his collar. His bronze skin was exposed.
It was until now that Mu Li faced Shan Lin, the audience in the elevator, and warned him coldly—
“She’s my wife. Stay away from her.”
