Chapter 787 804: Discussing Marriage and Weddings
"Haha, Director Shen, what are you saying? Anytime you need something, just say the word, and I'll never hesitate to help out!" Lin Mu chuckled, secretly thinking to himself how crafty this old fox was—afraid that Lin Mu wouldn't help anymore because of past events, so he threw in a sweetener of a hundred thousand yuan."With your word, Boss Lin, I feel relieved. Frankly speaking, I'm planning to launch a major crackdown on the Heaven and Earth Society soon, and I'll need your assistance! We'll strive to eliminate them in one go—this is beneficial for both you and me. The Heaven and Earth Society poses a threat to your Flying Dragon as well, so we can't afford to take them lightly!"
"No worries, I believe joining forces with you, Director Shen, will make taking down the small Heaven and Earth Society a piece of cake!" Lin Mu sounded so convincing, but both of them knew deep down they were just putting on a show, simply playing different roles.
The difference was that Lin Mu already knew Shen Ji Yang was pretending, while Shen Ji Yang still thought Lin Mu was in the dark and was happy about it! After hanging up with Lin Mu, Lin Mu sneered, thinking to himself how one day he'd put an end to Shen Ji Yang.
Returning to the Lin Family's house, the living room was empty—probably all the ladies were resting. Lin Mu had a drink but felt no tipsiness, instead full of energy! After a brief moment, he decided to take a shower first and then went upstairs!
Standing upstairs, Lin Mu contemplated which of the four girls' doors he should push open! Xiong Xiaoxiao was still young, so she wasn't in the consideration for now—he'd wait until she was ripe for the picking. Among the others, Xia Yuyi was in the middle of her period; touching was fine, but more intimate exchanges were not possible!
That left only Chief Police Officer and Zhou Xun as options! After pondering for a moment, Lin Mu pushed open the Chief Police Officer's door!
Although Chief Police Officer still disagreed, Lin Mu was the type who thrived on challenges, loving to take on tough tasks. So he pushed open the Chief Police Officer's door and snuck in!
Qi Manlin lay on the bed with her back facing the door, seemingly asleep! Even though Lin Mu knew it was shameless to wake someone from a deep sleep, he couldn't help but move closer anyway!
As he reached the bedside, Lin Mu gently bent down, just about to make a move!
"Damn!"
Before Lin Mu could touch Chief Police Officer, she spun around, sending a long, slender leg flying his way. Lin Mu quickly twisted his body to narrowly avoid it!
Qi Manlin, not satisfied with missing the kick, immediately followed with a punch!
Lin Mu rolled onto the bed, catching Qi Manlin's soft fist in his hand!
"Hey there, pretty cop, it's me! Why are you hitting me too! Do you think I'm a thug?" Lin Mu asked while holding Qi Manlin's small fist, noticing that her skills skyrocketed recently, and she wielded moves he had taught her with considerable power, barely dodging her attacks.
"You big jerk, you are a thug! Who told you to sneak into my room in the middle of the night, looking for trouble?" Qi Manlin glared at Lin Mu, as she had heard him the moment he opened the door.
"Hehe, gorgeous, not only is your kung fu improving, but even your senses and hearing have heightened!" Lin Mu laughed and said.
"Hmph, that's just my natural talent!"
"Chief Police Officer, since your skills on the streets are impressive, you should also practice your bedroom skills. So I came to train with you tonight!" Lin Mu said with a sly grin.
"Get lost! Even if I wanted to train my bedroom skills, it wouldn't be with you! Dream on!" Qi Manlin punched Lin Mu.
"Hey, sister, your words are so hurtful to my ego! I've been striving for well-rounded development!" Lin Mu said as he casually removed his shoes and lay on the bed.
"You big jerk, who said you could take off your shoes without my permission?"
"Hey, I plan to sleep here tonight. Haven't I already told you? To learn quickly, you need to sleep with the master first!" Lin Mu shamelessly replied.
"Hmph, shameless!" Qi Manlin punched Lin Mu again but leaned back on the pillow, not forcing him out. She probably knew Lin Mu was like a sticky plaster, once attached, impossible to tear off.
Lin Mu lay shoulder to shoulder with Qi Manlin, casually wrapping an arm around her shoulders, and she naturally rested her head on his shoulder!
"Manlin, I love you!" Lin Mu said sincerely as he held Chief Police Officer's shoulders.
"Hmm!" Qi Manlin responded with a sound as soft as a mosquito.
"So, when do you plan to give yourself to me?" Lin Mu asked sincerely.
"Later, definitely not now!" Qi Manlin replied.
"Uh… later, but when exactly?" Lin Mu was disappointed because he had been eyeing Chief Police Officer's body for a long time. Right now, she was like the ripe peaches on August trees, ready to be picked.
"When you're sincerely ready to marry me!"
"Well, I'm sincere now. If not now, when?" Lin Mu was overjoyed.
"Then will you get engaged to me now?"
"Uh…" Qi Manlin's words immediately silenced Lin Mu.
To say getting engaged now was very unrealistic for Lin Mu. He had grand ambitions. Although he had not yet shed his lowly desires, he had lofty goals. In literary terms, "Wancheng's underworld and legal realms were not yet unified, and Lin Mu's career in the underground world was just beginning. At this critical moment, how could he have time to talk about marriage?"
Talking about marriage was unrealistic at the moment. Lin Mu was not alone. Behind him was the large Flying Dragon Sect, with a group of brothers counting on him!
Once engaged, it meant a man had responsibilities, not only in his career but also towards his family!
More importantly, for someone like Lin Mu, whose head was constantly on the chopping block, the biggest taboo was the burden of a family. If something happened to him, wouldn't it hurt his innocent family and poor children?
So, it's not that Lin Mu didn't want to get engaged, but he couldn't think about marriage and children at this moment. This was a form of protection for Qi Manlin or Zhou Xun!
"Actually, you should understand, there are things beyond my control. I'm a wanderer in the Jianghu, living on the knife's edge every day. You have experienced a lot of the underground world recently, so I don't want any of you to get hurt because of me!" Lin Mu explained.
"Hmm, I understand. It's precisely because I know these things that I haven't forced you to promise anything. Otherwise, I wouldn't be living with you now because I understand your difficulties!" Qi Manlin empathized with Lin Mu's feelings.
