Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 687 The Child Bride's Delusional Dreams (25)

After Grandpa Shang gave his approval, the news of Mu Zhou and Lu Lin's relationship spread like wildfire, quickly becoming common knowledge.

Reactions varied, but all were extremely shocked.

Bar, private room.

Lu Zhi rested his chin on his hand and looked at his good brother Shang Henian, who was completely drunk.

His face was ashen, his eyes lifeless, and he just kept drinking in silence.

But the others were oblivious and kept stabbing him in the heart.

"Did I forget something? Wasn't the little adopted bride always chasing after Shang Henian? How come she's suddenly with Lu Zhi's uncle?"

"Need I say more? He must be heartbroken. After so many years of not getting a response, who could stand it?"

"But after liking someone for so many years, can you really just let go like that?"

"Please, that's Lu Lin! Which girl could resist Uncle Lu?"

"That's true. I wonder how many young ladies from prestigious families will be heartbroken after Uncle Lu announced his relationship."

“I have a cousin who is the same age as Uncle Lu and works in the same system. She has been eyeing him for a long time, but she has never been able to catch up with him or even get close to him. I never expected that my adopted daughter-in-law would pluck this high-mountain flower directly.”

"Of course I know Uncle Lu is good, but what about our Brother Nian?"

"What do we do? Brother Nian doesn't like her."

"If you ask me, it's a good thing. The little girl who was adopted won't bother Shang Henian anymore."

"But our Brother Nian will be all alone from now on. Hey, what do you think Brother Nian should call his little adopted wife? Little Auntie?"

Seeing that Shang Henian's expression was getting increasingly grim, Lu Zhi simply chased everyone away:

"Go, go, go, stop making noise here."

Once everyone had left, the private room fell silent instantly. Lu Zhi hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"My uncle has already proposed successfully, and they'll get engaged as soon as Mu Zhou graduates."

With a "crack", the wine glass in Shang Henian's hand fell to the ground.

He suddenly stood up, swaying as he did so.

Lu Zhigang tried to help him up, but he broke free:

"I'm fine, I'm just tired, I'm going home now."

Looking at his dejected figure, Lu Zhi shook his head helplessly.

Who could blame him when Shang Henian's opponent was his uncle, Lu Lin?

If Mu Zhou falls in love with someone else, even if Shang Henian is slow to react, the chances of him winning her back once he realizes it are very high.

Unfortunately, this person is Lu Lin, so Shang Henian has absolutely no chance.

Shang Henian instructed the driver to park the car near the girls' dormitory.

He got out of the car and walked slowly.

Actually, he didn't know what he was doing here.

Perhaps, she wanted to be closer to Mu Zhou.

He was lost in thought when, in the distance, two figures holding hands came from another path.

The girl wore a white dress, her slightly curled hair cascading over her shoulders, and her beautiful eyes were filled with a smile.

She was saying something, gesturing in the air with her other hand, and then shaking the hand of the man next to her.

The man stood tall and straight, dressed neatly and formally, and his usually aloof eyes now held a gentle glint.

He lowered his head and listened attentively to what the girl had to say.

Their relationship was so ordinary that it was almost no different from that of other campus couples.

They lingered outside the dormitory building, reluctant to part.

They held hands, hugged, and kissed.

Unbeknownst to them, the two had already hidden in the shadows, their figures pressed together as they kissed.

Shang Henian felt as if his heart was being pounded, and he felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.

But he watched it with a self-destructive urge.

Mu Zhou closed her eyes and tilted her head back slightly, her soft arms resting on Lu Lin's shoulders.

Lu Lin bent down and pinned her against the wall, kissing her lips again and again.

They were doing things that only couples could do.

Shang Henian couldn't bear to watch any longer, and he staggered away.

Lu Lin stepped back slightly, glancing coldly at Shang Henian's retreating figure out of the corner of his eye.

Mu Zhou opened her watery eyes, which were both captivating and innocent.

"What's wrong……"

Her soft, delicate voice was still a little breathless.

Lu Lin withdrew his gaze, his throat bobbing as he leaned down again to capture her lips, his voice muffled:

"nothing."

Mu Zhou let out a sob and clung to him.

*

Lu Lin is indeed a reliable man.

Regarding their relationship, including their future engagement and marriage, he was the one who coordinated and resolved all obstacles.

Finally, when she got to Mu Zhou's place, he simply took her to meet his parents, and they had a pleasant meal together.

Everything went incredibly well.

Even Grandpa Shang couldn't help but sigh that he hadn't misjudged the person.

Much later, Mu Zhou learned that Lu Lin had a major conflict with his family when she was choosing her future career path after graduation.

At that time, the Lu family agreed to accept her, but on the condition that she would follow the Lu family's arrangements for her future development.

She only had two choices: either stay in academia, have a respectable status, and strive to keep up with Lu Lin's pace in the future.

She could either join the system like Lu Lin and become his supportive wife.

But Lu Lin insisted on disagreeing.

He kept quiet from his elders at home, not revealing a single word of this to Mu Zhou.

In the end, Mu Zhou followed his heart and chose to join a children's aid organization.

This is related to her past experiences.

She knew very well that not every child in distress could be as lucky as her to meet Grandpa Shang.

Mu Zhou hopes to help children who are in the same situation as she was back then.

In a way, this is a pretty good job, and it can also benefit countless suffering children.

But ultimately, it is an unofficial organization, and an extremely busy one.

Mu Zhou spends most of his month traveling all over the country.

Some elders in the Lu family were dissatisfied with this, believing that she was just wasting her time on useless work, that no matter how hard she tried, her career would not improve, and that she could not take care of her family.

When Lu Lin found out about these gossipers, another internal conflict ensued.

In the end, all the Lu family members who had been looking down on Mu Zhou shut their mouths.

Not a single word of gossip reached Mu Zhou's ears.

It was Lu Zhi who told Mu Zhou this after he got drunk.

"You have no idea how powerful my uncle is. He calmly and casually threatened and intimidated those people."

He slurred his words and vividly recounted the scene.

But everyone knows that composure requires tremendous effort to truly rebel against one's family.

As Mu Zhou listened, a warm feeling silently flowed through his heart.

When Lu Lin came to pick her up, she snuggled into his arms and whispered something in his ear.

Lu Lin tensed up instantly, his eyes burning with intense passion as he looked at her.

*

After Mu Zhou graduated, Grandpa Shang gave her an apartment, and she moved out for work convenience.

Occasionally, Lu Lin would spend the night here.

In the bedroom at this moment.

Mu Zhou was pressed in front of the makeup mirror, biting her lower lip slightly.

Lu Lin stood behind her, his arms bracing on either side of her body as he held onto the edge of the table.
