Chapter 1042 - 1057: Initial Success in Development
"We'll take all of these, please wrap them up." Lin Mu chuckled as he spoke to the saleslady."Sir, you're so good to your girlfriend. Please wait a moment, I'll wrap them up right away." The saleslady said, then walked to the counter to grab the bag for the clothes.
"Alright, I'll go change out of my clothes inside." Man Luo said, turning to head toward the fitting room.
"Hey, no need to change, just wear this one! I like it!" Lin Mu chuckled, reaching out to grab Man Luo's arm.
Man Luo glared at Lin Mu, "Why do I have to wear what you like?"
"Uh... girl, don't women dress and undress just to show off to men anyway? Come on, give me some face, will you?" Lin Mu laughed awkwardly, realizing he'd have to change Man Luo's cold demeanor in the future.
Of course, this might have to do with Man Luo's past and background, so her way of speaking and aura always felt icy, even to acquaintances. This was probably where Man Luo differed from Japanese actresses; in terms of figure and appearance, Man Luo was almost a complete victory, even holding her own against Teacher Cang and Teacher Boda.
Man Luo gave Lin Mu a helpless look, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
"Wow, girl, you really are so classy!" Lin Mu chuckled.
Soon, the shop assistant had wrapped up the clothes along with Man Luo's leather outfit. Lin Mu paid the bill, and the two walked out of the women's clothing store together. At this moment, Man Luo indeed looked much fresher and prettier, almost like a little girl.
It's not that Man Luo's previous style wasn't good, but she wore the same outfit for three hundred sixty days a year, even if it was beautiful, it could lead to visual fatigue, just like some female stars who, despite being glamorous, would eventually cause their husbands to feel aesthetic fatigue, so divorces among female stars are not uncommon!
Man Luo was always in a tight-fitting black leather jacket, with red lips that gave off a seductive vibe; over time, it became tiresome, like a woman and a man doing that kind of thing, year-round with the same motion, initially exciting but eventually unsatisfying.
But now Man Luo changed into a casual outfit, immediately feeling completely different, like a girl next door. This made Lin Mu sigh; truly, clothes make the man!
"Weren't you going to buy clothes?" Man Luo asked while walking. This guy kept saying he wanted clothes, but in the end, he didn't buy any for himself, instead buying Man Luo several pieces.
"Me? I thought about it and decided to wait for another opportunity. Didn't see anything good right now." Lin Mu said, admitting he didn't intend to buy clothes for himself. Besides, Lin Mu didn't lack clothes; the girls at home often grabbed some for him whenever they shopped, so Lin Mu's clothes were always in surplus.
Man Luo glared at Lin Mu, feeling like strangling him; he insisted on dragging her from the hotel just to shop, yet now said there was nothing worth buying—wasn't this clearly wasting her time?
Seeing Man Luo's annoyed expression, Lin Mu quickly changed the subject, "Hey, girl, let me take you to a nice place, guaranteed you haven't been there before!"
"Where to?"
"You'll know once we get there, it's a secret for now!" Lin Mu chuckled, without waiting for Man Luo's consent, grabbed her hand and led her out of the mall.
Man Luo had no choice but to follow Lin Mu, being dragged pointlessly around without any energy to resist, deciding to just go with it, since she had already been out there for quite a while. They got in the car, and Lin Mu drove her toward the amusement park.
Due to Man Luo's profession, she was almost ignorant of worldly matters, only interested in killing, showing no interest in other things. To change her icy demeanor, Lin Mu needed to involve her in activities typical of what ordinary girls liked, slowly turning her into a warmer person.
The amusement park is a spot tailor-made for invoking one's inner child; nearly every girl enjoys playing there, so Lin Mu thought of using fun and games to transform her. Given that Man Luo became an assassin, she likely hadn't experienced such entertainment as it conflicted with the amusement park's atmosphere.
Before long, Lin Mu parked at the amusement park entrance. Man Luo looked at the bustling scene with an expressionless, indifferent face, simply asking, "Why did you bring me here?"
"To play, of course! Amusement parks are for having fun! You thought I brought you here to kill someone?" Lin Mu said as he got out of the car, then pulled Man Luo from the passenger seat, "Come on, let's go play for a bit, haven't done this for a long time!"
Lin Mu realized that making plans with Man Luo never worked; given her personality, negotiation was futile. So, he resorted to taking action, forcing her to come along. Although this might be seen as an abrupt approach, it suited Man Luo perfectly.
Sure enough, after being forcefully dragged out by Lin Mu, Man Luo reluctantly followed him into the amusement park, wanting to resist but unsure how, deciding to give in. Lin Mu soon got her onto the roller coaster—one of the most thrilling rides—which would surely make the usually calm and reserved Man Luo scream aloud. This was the best method to change her temperament.
Man Luo didn't have time to react before being strapped in securely by Lin Mu, resembling a defiant child, wanting to object but unsure where to start, simply glaring at Lin Mu, "This is boring, I don't want to sit on it—never have before!"
Lin Mu wasn't about to let her off easily, securing her on the ride while laughing reassuringly, "Never tried it? Then you should! Try something new! You only live once; if you don't try anything fun, it'd be such a waste when you're gone! Don't worry, you'll find it thrilling and satisfying—one word: Awesome!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Mu's persuasive words caught Man Luo's interest, and she did want to give it a try. As they spoke, the roller coaster slowly started, making its way upward.
Lin Mu chuckled, glancing at Man Luo beside him, "If you feel it's thrilling, then shout out loud."
Man Luo said nothing, still frowning, as the roller coaster reached the top, poised for a fast descent followed by a series of lateral twists—truly exhilarating!
