Chapter 1040 - 1055: Are We That Close?
The lower body is still clad in tight black leather pants, a costume that Man Luo seems never to change. I really don't know how many sets of the same outfit she owns. Could it be that this girl doesn't like changing clothes?Hmm, she's really a unique alternative girl! Cold and gorgeous, like a thousand-year-old iceberg! The surging tidal red cherry blossoms peek out from the top of the tight little tank top, like the sunset on a millennium-old iceberg, leaving much to the imagination, and Lin Mu, seeing this springtime scene, immediately falls into a reverie...
"Come in," Man Luo said, making room.
Lin Mu reluctantly glanced at Man Luo's chest a few more times, sighing inwardly, but he couldn't keep staring at it, right? Otherwise, in Man Luo's mind, he'd be no different from those four-legged creatures! So Lin Mu stepped inside and sat on the sofa, while Man Luo sat opposite him.
"Hey girl, I see you're always wearing the same clothes! We're not short on money; it's not like we have to look so shabby every day, right? How about this, if you're free this afternoon, I'll join you in buying a couple of outfits. You've got a great figure, and not wearing a few more outfits seems like a waste of resources! Plus, I guarantee if you change clothes a few more times, you'll definitely captivate a few blocks of men." Lin Mu said with a chuckle.
Although Lin Mu's joke was very goofy, Man Luo remained unmoved. Her face still wore that cold expression, glancing dismissively at Lin Mu, she refused, "No need, I just like wearing this outfit."
"Uh... girl, I know you're cool, but for a pretty girl like you, not wearing those lovely clothes on you really wastes their value. So, to save those pretty clothes, could you please compromise a bit? How about we hang out at the mall this afternoon?"
Seeing Man Luo's icy demeanor, Lin Mu had to adopt a step-by-step strategy, first accompanying Man Luo to the mall. This way, he could understand her personality traits better and cultivate some feelings along the way. Although Lin Mu usually finds shopping with women the most annoying, it's worth it to woo the charming and domineering Man Luo. Besides, with Man Luo's personality, she probably doesn't enjoy long shopping trips either.
Apparently, Man Luo doesn't have any special requirements for clothes or she has a particular fondness for black, so she refused, saying, "I don't need it; I came to talk about serious matters, not to discuss irrelevant topics."
"Uh...," Lin Mu grimaced, frustrated. Although this girl has somewhat shifted her attitude towards him, her personality is still too cold. Since Man Luo showed no interest in shopping, Lin Mu had to give up; otherwise, she would get even more annoyed with him. Besides, Lin Mu himself particularly dislikes shopping for clothes with women.
Anyway, Man Luo won't be leaving Wancheng anytime soon, so Lin Mu's strategy is to take it slow, not rush things. He believes that when the time is right, Man Luo will naturally accept him.
"Alright then, let's talk about serious matters. Go ahead, what's the matter you wanted to discuss?" Lin Mu said with a smile.
"Just now, before I called you, Jinye phoned me," Man Luo said.
"Damn, what did that idiot tell you? Did he threaten you?"
Man Luo let out a cold laugh, "Hmph, he wants me to keep working for him and said I won't be held accountable for the Golden Leopard incident."
"Oh, and what did you say?"
"Hmph, I definitely did not agree. He's furious, and he's even sent a bunch of experts intending to settle scores with me! Besides, his main goal is for those jewels, so I'm informing you in advance so you're prepared." Man Luo said.
"Alright then, if he wants to die, let him send people over. On my turf, I'll make sure they come but never leave, handle one if one comes, two if two come. You can rest assured, I'll definitely take care of them," Lin Mu said with utmost confidence.
Man Luo didn't say much more, just reminded him, "I've said everything I needed to, make sure you keep an eye on that bastard Jinye."
"Hehe, I know, sister, I know you're most concerned about me!" Lin Mu said with a self-indulgent laugh.
Man Luo furrowed her brows, glaring at Lin Mu, "Can you stop being so narcissistic? Who cares about you?"
"Uh... hey, alright then, let's say I'm narcissistic," Lin Mu chuckled.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, leave," Man Luo said, issuing a direct dismissal right after their conversation.
"Damn, girl, don't be like that. I've just arrived and haven't even warmed up the seat," Lin Mu grimaced, thinking it's not easy driving over here.
"Then what else do you want?" Man Luo asked, glancing at Lin Mu.
Lin Mu forced himself to think of something, needing to come up with a reason, or else, given Man Luo's personality, she'd surely kick him out.
"Hey, of course, there is, um, I have something I need your help with."
"What is it?"
"Actually, it's nothing major; just want you to join me buying some clothes." Lin Mu laughed, truly unable to think of anything else to do with Man Luo. If he brought up other issues, Man Luo would definitely kick him out right after hearing them, so Lin Mu had to come up with something involving both of them and lasting a while. Undoubtedly, that's shopping. For women, there's nothing more captivating than shopping for clothes!
However, upon hearing Lin Mu wants her to join him buying clothes, Man Luo frowned, "What did you say?"
"Since you have nothing else to do, join me in buying clothes!" Lin Mu said seriously.
"Me? Join you? To buy clothes?" Man Luo pointed at her own chest.
"Yes, why not? Girl, isn't that okay?" Lin Mu nodded.
"Mistaken? I don't know you that well, do I? So many people on the street, grab anyone to shop with you, why insist on me?" Man Luo snapped at Lin Mu.
"Hehe, men wear clothes for women to see! Of course, women wear clothes for men to see, too. Currently, I can't find any other girl to join me, and you happen to have time with nothing to do. Although we may not be very familiar, at least we're friends, right? A friend's request won't be refused, right?" Lin Mu chuckled.
Man Luo looked at Lin Mu helplessly, "You, need a woman to accompany you to buy clothes?"
"Yes, my taste isn't great, having a woman with me prevents making the wrong choice!" Lin Mu smiled.
"..." Man Luo didn't know whether to refuse or agree; this guy sure isn't reserved.
"Sister, do you have something against me?" Lin Mu asked.
