Chapter 887: Wedding (1)

Mu Lingshi reached home with an apprehensive heart. She only relaxed slightly when she saw Ah Mo in the living room.

“What’s wrong? Why do you look so down?” Ah Mo came up to her and quickly noticed that something was not right. “Are you not feeling well?”

Mu Lingshi shook her head as she put her sunglasses on the coffee table before sitting down on the sofa. Ah Mo quickly brought her a glass of water.

She finished it and gave the glass back to him, hesitating for a moment before admitting, “Ah Mo, I noticed that someone was following me on the way back, and I’ve been having a feeling that someone was watching me in the dark for the past few days. I feel a little uneasy about it. Is something happening? Who are they?”

Ah Mo was stunned to hear this news from Mu Lingshi. His eyes and expression darkened, and he instantly remembered Mu Yuchen’s reminder.

He had been too busy and had totally forgotten about it, so he did not talk about it. That was why…

“Hey, what’s wrong? Why do you have such a serious expression? Do you know who they are? I just find it strange. A lot of things have been weird lately. Why would the pen that Brother auctioned be returned to me? I sent it to Brother and he said it was the exact same one he auctioned off. For some reason, I can feel something coming and I don’t feel good about it,” Mu Lingshi voiced out her worries to Ah Mo.

He looked downwards and thought about what to say before he grabbed her shoulder and asked urgently, “Then, how did you escape them?”

“I turned around and wanted to find out who they were, but it seemed like they didn’t want me to know. They fled quickly the moment I turned around, but I still find this very strange. It didn’t seem like they were going to harm me,” Mu Lingshi recalled.

“Master wanted to hire an agile bodyguard for you. I’m sure he knows something’s up. Maybe you should stay home for the time being. I’ll get you a strong personal bodyguard.”

“A personal bodyguard? Did something happen?” Mu Lingshi was on alert as she looked at Ah Mo, waiting for an answer.

Ah Mo glanced at her. “We can never be too careful. With you frequenting the night club all year long, it’s nice to have someone beside you. I’ll investigate what happened tonight. I just made supper. Let me go get some for you.” He got up from the sofa and went to the kitchen.

Mu Lingshi’s eyes narrowed at Ah Mo who entered the kitchen. She had a lot of doubts and she could sense that Ah Mo was hiding something from her, or else he would not have avoided her gaze. Furthermore, his eyes seemed odd just now.

However, Mu Lingshi did not ask anymore. She knew him way too well and would never be able to get him to talk if he did not want to.

Mu Lingshi was sitting by the dining table when he came out with supper.

“Some time ago, when Brother came over, he asked me when we’re getting married. What do you think?” Mu Lingshi threw him a sudden question.

Because they were so used to each other, she was extremely straightforward with him.

Ah Mo was obviously shaken up slightly, and there was visible hope in his eyes when he looked at her, but he suppressed his feelings and said, “I’ll leave it up to you. I’ll wait until you’re ready.”

Mu Lingshi was a little startled by his reply as well. After some hesitation, she said, “You’re going to wait? What if I’m never ready?”

“I’ll keep waiting then. I don’t think marriage makes a lot of difference to us now anyway.” Ah Mo gave his honest reply. For some reason, his handsome face blushed, and he was avoiding Mu Lingshi’s gaze.

Stunned, Mu Lingshi studied his blushing face for a while before bursting into laughter. “Mu Lingmo, has anyone ever told you that you’re really bad at smooth-talking girls?”

“Well, I don’t really have that much experience…” he quickly explained, his face turning even redder as he looked at her smile. Then, he stood up. “I’ll go and prepare the bathwater for you.”

“Stop right there! Sit down!” Mu Lingshi gave her orders.

Ah Mo glanced at her uneasily as he sat back down. She quickly finished the bowl of porridge before grabbing a tissue to clean her mouth. She then looked at him. “I want to talk about us tonight.”

Us…

He clenched his hands and stared straight into her eyes.

Mu Lingshi lowered her eyes and took a deep breath. “It’s been twenty over years. Thank you for always looking after me. Apart from Brother, you’re the most respected and trusted person I have ever known. At the same time, I’m glad that you love me. I was very surprised when you first confessed to me since we’ve been like this for many years, and…”

“Lingshi, actually it happened way before I confessed to you. When I was adopted by Grandfather from the orphanage, you were the first person to accept me genuinely with a smile. From that moment on, I made a promise to myself that I would protect you forever,” Ah Mo spoke up before Mu Lingshi could finish her sentence.

Mu Lingshi smiled. “Thank you, but I think I want to end our current relationship…”
