Chapter 49 - That Short Thing

Chapter 49 That Short Thing

Lin Qing’s pretty face was puffed up because of anger. Her accusation at this moment was even more touching, making Mu Li feel pity for her.

Mu Li thought about it carefully, and he felt that Lin Qing seemed to be right.

Indeed, she always did everything he said. Sometimes she acted like a little girl, and it was a pleasant thing that he loved to see.

In this way, Mu Li realized that he was actually the bad guy who bullied Lin Qing.

But, wait a minute.

Mu Li suddenly had a question.

At least they spent a good night together last night, since when did it become he bullied her?

Before Mu Li could say something, Lin Qing had already opened her mouth, “How could you do this to me? I’m so sad.”

The more she spoke, the more wronged she felt. The look of being bullied she put on her face was truly pitiful.

If there were another person standing at the side right now and saw Lin Qing’s pitiful look, he or she would definitely condemn Mu Li coldly. How could he bully such a cute and pretty girl?

Mu Li fell into a complete silence.

“It’s all your fault. Because of you, I’m feeling weak all over and having a pain in the waist and back…” Lin Qing acted like she was very dissatisfied with Mu Li’s performance last night.

But speaking of last night, Mu Li was very proud of himself.

Since Lin Qing was feeling uncomfortable to this extent, it meant that last night…he must have made her comfortable.

Thinking of this, Mu Li happily hugged Lin Qing and pinched her tiny nose.

“That’s right,” he said very considerately.

Lin Qing continued, “However, I seem to have seen that short thing somewhere before.”

Short…

Thing?

Mu Li’s face instantly darkened.

His dignity being a male was nakedly provoked by Lin Qing.

“Lin Qing,” he called her by her name in a warning tone, giving Lin Qing a sense of crisis.

Lin Qing didn’t think she had said anything wrong. That thing was really a short object comparatively.

Mu Li narrowed his dangerous eyes and approached her to her face. He stared at her indifferent eyes and said, “How about I’ll let you feel that thing again?”

However, Lin Qing grabbed the corner of the quilt and said with her cheeks bulged, “No, I’m too exhausted.”

She said that quite frankly.

Mu Li was almost speechless at her.

Seeing Mu Li was very unhappy, Lin Qing said, “Are you feeling ashamed because you bullied me?”

Mu Li kept silent without looking at her.

“Don’t feel bad about it.” Paused for a moment, Lin Qing tried to comfort him, “Although you bullied me, I will forgive you.”

Face darkening, Mu Li pushed Lin Qing aside.

After some time, Lin Qing seemed to have less complaints against Mu Li.

She was really tired since she didn’t get a lot of sleep last night. Though Mu Li was still unhappy with his face darkened, Lin Qing buried herself in his arms and lay down comfortably.

Mu Li raised his eyebrows and said indifferently on purpose, “Didn’t you just blame me for bullying you? Why did you throw yourself into my arms only a minute later?”

Lin Qing didn’t care and said lazily, “About that, I’ll talk to you next time.”

She said it like she was very sensible and magnanimous.

On the contrary, Mu Li became the narrow-minded one.

Sleepy Lin Qing rubbed her head against Mu Li’s chest. Her eyes narrowed and it seemed she was going to fall asleep.

Mu Li raised her chin with his index finger and said, “Do you remember what I said last night?”

Lin Qing leaned closer into his arms lazily and said, “What did you say? You said a lot last night, but I can’t remember anything.”

Mu Li frowned and turned her head to him. “Since that’s the case, I don’t mind reminding you again.”

As he spoke, he turned over and pressed Lin Qing beneath him. “Furthermore, it’s not bad to review what we did last night.”

Lin Qing punched him in the chest with a trace of sleepiness on her face. “Can you just remind me orally? From last night till now… I’m so tired.”

She spoke out the fact, but she didn’t know how intimate it sounded.

Since she said so, Mu Li happily agreed and gave her a reminder orally—

A French kiss.

Lin Qing struggled for a moment in vain, then she was soon lost in his gentle kiss.

Last night he treated her rudely, but at this moment, he was extremely gentle. Lin Qing couldn’t help but fall into the tenderness and couldn’t get out.

“You belong to me only, forever, you can only belong to me,” Mu Li whispered when he pressed his lips to hers.

Lin Qing leaned against his chest and nodded slightly.

Mu Li turned sideways and wrapped his arms around Lin Qing. He ran his slender and long fingers through Lin Qing’s long hair, which made Lin Qing feel warm. Being flirted by him, Lin Qing was no longer sleepy, so she pulled his palm over and observed it carefully.

Lin Qing had said before that Mu Li’s hands were very good-looking.

She didn’t only say that when she was drunk. At this moment when she looked at his hand again, she felt the same way.

Feeling satisfied, Lin Qing crossed her own fingers with Mu Li’s fingers, and their hands were clasped together tightly.

“Do you really like my hands that much?” Mu Li asked with smiling eyes. He allowed Lin Qing to play with his hands willfully.

“Yes, I do.” Lin Qing clasped his hand and kept their fingers intertwined together. Mu Li just watched her playing and didn’t pull his hand back.

The intimate feeling on their fingers made Lin Qing’s heart beat faster.

Then, she subconsciously and gently raised Mu Li’s fingers to her lips and kissed them.

His unique aura floated into her nose.

Mu Li slightly narrowed his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at Lin Qing who was concentrating on studying his palm.

“Lin Qing,” Mu Li called her softly.

Lin Qing did not stop what she was doing and stayed focused when she responded in a flat voice, “What?”

Mu Li turned over his big hand and wrapped it around her small hand. “Let’s…let’s have a baby.”

Lin Qing thought she got it wrong. She was stunned and remained motionless.

“What did you say?”

“How about we have a baby?” Mu Li asked patiently.

Lin Qing had never thought of having a baby.

She just felt it was a perfect state at this moment that she could be with Mu Li in this way.

“I don’t know…” Lin Qing said honestly.

Mu Li couldn’t help but laugh.

Maybe he was a little too impatient.

If Lin Qing wouldn’t fall in love with him, he wouldn’t keep her heart even if they had a child.

Mu Li was very clear about it.

He also clasped Lin Qing’s fingers, and after a long time, their hands were still crossed together tightly.

Lin Qing was a little confused. She didn’t know what Mu Li was thinking about her. Last night they made love and he didn’t let her go until she was exhausted…

Even so, Lin Qing still was not sure about many things.

These uncertainties just made her entangled in deeper hesitation.

What if…

Lin Qing somehow gave up on herself and thought heartlessly, if Mu Li was just playing with her, what should she do?

Because of exhaustion—Lin Qing used this excuse reluctantly—she didn’t go to work.

She lay in bed for a long time before she recovered. Even though she ached all over and was enervated, she still gritted her teeth and got up.

Mu Li was having lunch downstairs. He ordered takeaways and left some for Lin Qing.

Lin Qing thought that since it was a takeaway, the food would taste just ordinary. However, at the first bite, her eyes immediately lit up with admiration.

She interrupted Mu Li who was eating and moved closer to him.

“This takeaway is amazing. Where did you order it?” Lin Qing thought privately that if she could learn how to cook this, she would be able to cook for Mu Li in the future.

Mu Li didn’t think much of it and said, “The chef is from Jinxiu Hall.”

He said it very casually, but Lin Qing covered her forehead surprisingly upon hearing his answer.

Did she hear it wrong?

Jinxiu Hall was a famous chain restaurant in the country. It was a Chinese cuisine restaurant, passed down from generation to generation, and they created secret recipes of many Chinese dishes. It was said that their chefs never accepted invitations from outside. If anyone wanted to taste their cooking, he or she had to go to their restaurant in person. Offering takeaway like this was probably extremely rare.

Naturally, Lin Qing knew about Jinxiu Hall very well. She had long wanted to have a taste of their cuisine. Unfortunately, every time she passed by their restaurant, it was crowded with people, and there was hardly any space for her to stand.

Over time, she never made it to have a meal there.

Mu Li saw through her mind and put down his chopsticks. “Do you want to learn their cooking skills?”

Lin Qing nodded her head constantly like a chicken pecking at rice. “May I?”

Mu Li thought for a moment and said, “It’s not impossible.”

Mu Li had a deep friendship with the big boss of Jinxiu Hall. There might be some hope for her to learn cooking there.

Moreover, Lin Qing was looking at him expectantly. He could not disappoint Lin Qing at all costs.

Lin Qing happily picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth. This dish of braised meat was extremely delicious. The meat melted into her mouth and was not greasy.

That afternoon, Mu Li took Lin Qing to Jinxiu Hall, which was known as the “No. 1 Restaurant of China”.

There was only one Jinxiu Hall restaurant in City A. It wasn’t that they worried about the business would be slack. The thing was, only with small scale could they guarantee to provide food with extraordinary quality.

As Lin Qing had expected, there were indeed a lot of guests in the Jinxiu Hall attracted by its reputation.

“Mu Li.” Lin Qing pulled at Mu Li’s sleeve, sounding a little regretful, “Let’s go back. There’re so many people, I’m afraid they’re very busy today.”

Mu Li knocked on her little head and smiled. “If that was a reason, you wouldn’t eat the takeaway at noon.”

Thinking about it, Lin Qing felt he made a lot of sense. So she obediently let Mu Li hold her small hand and followed beside him.

It was the hostess of Jinxiu Hall who saw Mu Li first. She had just treated a group of guests and was about to go to the kitchen, then unexpectedly, she noticed Mu Li at a glance. He was not a frequent visitor.

Beside Mu Li stood a girl who had a delicate and pretty face.

Recently the hostess heard that Mu Li got married. This girl must be Mu Li’s wife.

The hostess assigned her work to others and stepped toward Mu Li and his wife. She said respectfully, “Commander Mu, welcome to our restaurant!”

Mu Li was familiar with the hostess, so he nodded to greet her and introduced Lin Qing to her, “Hostess, this is Lin Qing, my wife. Well, Lin Qing, this is the hostess of the Jinxiu Hall.”

After being introduced, Lin Qing also greeted the hostess by saying hello.

The hostess was very experienced. Seeing the eye contact between Lin Qing and Mu Li, she naturally saw through that there was a close bond of affection between them. Because her husband had a good friendship with Mu Li, the hostess showed great kindness to Mu Li and Lin Qing as well.

“Looks like your business is getting better and better.” Mu Li looked around the hall on the first floor and saw many people coming and going.

He looked over at the gate and noticed there were also many people waiting in line.

Even though it became warmer, more and more guests were attracted by their restaurant’s reputation and came to have meals. This even added some vitality to the old and tranquil street.

The hostess said modestly, “It’s not bad. We are satisfied as long as we won’t degrade the reputation of our family restaurant.”

Hearing her words, Lin Qing felt that this hostess was not only nice but also very smart.

She appreciated the hostess exceptionally.
