章 24: Defend Against Wild Animals
編集者: Dragon Boat Translation
Mu Ling laughed out loud. Her smile was especially bright as she said mischievously, "I'm not easy to take care of ~"
"We'll know once we try," Zuo Qing replied. He was serious.
As a man, Song An felt that his heart was about to be stolen by master Qing's words of " I'll support you ". This was too sweet! If only he was a woman. He really wanted to experience what it was like to be raised by a big boss.
He looked at Mu Ling through the rearview mirror and shouted in his heart, "Miss Mu, let him take care of you, then squander his inheritance!"
However, Mu Ling was unusually calm. To be honest, she couldn't tell if the man was telling the truth or not. It sounded like he was joking, but since it was a joke, it was nothing to worry about.
Her delicate little mouth curved into a beautiful arc. "Uncle, I have to remind you that you have to take responsibility for provoking me. Don't even think about getting rid of me!" Who would be willing to take care of a troublesome person like her?
However, Zuo Qing suddenly pinched her chin and looked at her with a deep gaze. There was an evil glint in his eyes."Then you'll have to stick to me for the rest of your life,"
Mu Ling's heart beat rapidly, and she blurted out, ""Alright!"
Whether it was true or not, this little girl wasn't serious. This was Zuo Qing's intuition. He was a little disappointed, as if he had been thrown into the sea and could only watch as he sank to the bottom of the sea with no way to escape. For the first time in his life, he felt embarrassed.
He let go of her, and the deep affection in his eyes returned to coldness. He said in a warning tone, ""You heartless little fox. If you make such a joke with me again, I'll definitely take it seriously!"
"Pfft." Mu Ling covered her mouth and laughed, not saying a word. He was the one who started it first, and she was just playing with him. Did he have to be so serious?
Song An's heart ached as he looked at master Qing. He felt uncomfortable as well. Master Qing was being serious, but Miss Mu had taken it as a joke. This ... Master Qing, you have to work hard!
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a villa.
Compared to the previous manor, this villa was clearly more modern and more suitable for young people. How many mansions does this man have? He was really rich!
"This is also your home?" Mu Ling asked.
"It'll also become your home in the future," said Zuo Qing indifferently.
Mu Ling pouted and said,"uncle, are you giving me a villa? But I don't have any use for it!" She didn't want a house.
Zuo Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He flicked her forehead and said,"You little fool!"
"It hurts!" Mu Ling clutched her forehead and said.
Zuo Qing didn't pay attention to his strength. The little girl's skin was tender, and now a small red patch on her forehead was flicked by him.
He quickly touched it gently with his finger and said, ""It won't be like this next time."
Song An suddenly received a critical blow. Was this public display of affection so sudden? His master Qing had always flirted so abruptly. However, Miss Mu did not seem to have any reaction.
..
The villa covered a large area, and the overall color scheme was still black, white, and gray, which was indeed Zuo Qing's style. The decorations inside were simple, the house was very clean, and the furniture was very new. It seemed that no one had lived here before.
Song An placed the two bags of ice cream into the refrigerator. When he returned, he said to Mu Ling, "Miss Mu, the clothes and toiletries I prepared for you have been sent to your room upstairs."
Mu Ling looked at Zuo Qing with a face full of doubt, ""I still have to live here? Are you not going to send me back to the Mu family?"
"We'll talk about it tomorrow!" Zuo Qing replied.
Zuo Qing took her hand and walked her to the door of the room. "Go in, take a shower, and then go to bed early."
He still had work to do, so he turned around and prepared to go downstairs.
"Uncle," Mu Ling suddenly called out to him.
Zuo Qing turned back to look at her. Mu Ling narrowed her eyes and asked, ""You're so good to me because of the lion head coin, right?"
Zuo Qing's eyes flickered and he said indifferently,"I have no clear purpose for keeping you."
He really wanted to keep her by his side. This was the first time he wanted to protect a woman.
No purpose? Mu Ling did not believe it, but no matter what ...
"Thank you," she looked at Zuo Qing and said with a serious face.
"What?" Zuo Qing was stunned by the sudden gratitude.
"Uncle, you're right. I can catch my breath and sleep well with you today." Mu Ling's face bloomed with a smile. Before the man could reply, she said, " good night." She closed the door and locked it.
Although this place was different from the Mu family's, there was a ferocious beast outside the door, so she had to be careful.
Zuo Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard the sound of the little girl's door locking. He wasn't going to force himself on her, so was she guarding against him? This little girl was really interesting.
Mu Ling slept very soundly and even had a beautiful dream.
The next morning, she washed up and went downstairs.
