Chapter 203: Chapter 194: Mysterious Gift

"You think you’re handsome? Please, I see you more as a beast!" Qi Manlin rolled her eyes at Lin Mu.

"Uh... is this the legendary Beauty and the Beast?"

"Cut the crap, let’s go. I originally didn’t plan to invite you. If it weren’t for Zhou Xun and Xiaoxiao, no way would I have invited you, jerk!" Qi Manlin cursed.

"Damn, depending on women to get a meal is so damaging to my self-esteem!" Lin Mu put on a look of heartbreak.

"You’re lucky to have food. So much chatter. Go if you want, we’re leaving!"

Qi Manlin said as she took Xiong Xiaoxiao and Zhou Xun by the arm and headed out.

"Go, go, being treated by beauties, and no less than three! Only an idiot wouldn’t go!"

Lin Mu shouted as he caught up, pulling out a flashy Bugatti from the garage, taking the three beauties to the same western restaurant as last time.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, it was crowded, and the three beautiful women immediately became the center of attention, while Lin Mu was naturally overlooked. He noticed this and walked proudly at the front, shielding the three beauties behind him with his not-so-impressive physique, but was soon subjected to the envious and intense gazes of many male diners.

If looks could kill, Lin Mu would have died dozens of times by now. So Lin Mu quickly found a window seat for the ladies, ordered four steaks, four glasses of juice, and some desserts. Sitting beside the three beauties, he felt the atmosphere around him was filled with a fragrant aura—truly enviable!

When the steaks arrived, Lin Mu didn’t hold back and started devouring them. He had to admit that meals paid for by Qi Manlin tasted particularly fragrant!

"Hey, mind your manners, devouring like you haven’t eaten in a lifetime!" Qi Manlin called out.

"Hehe, isn’t it rare for you to treat me? The meal tastes especially fragrant!" freewēbnoveℓ.com

Lin Mu licked the corners of his mouth without a trace of grace.

"Yeah, sweet talker!"

Qi Manlin waved her hand dismissively and then started eating with small bites.

"I’m being honest, you see Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxun are also eating with such delight, right, Xiaoxun?"

But Zhou Xun pretended not to hear Lin Mu, only shaking her head.

So the creature turned to Xiong Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, what do you think?"

Xiong Xiaoxiao also shook her head.

"Uh... not giving me any face at all. I’ll just eat my own then."

Lin Mu helplessly waved his hand, feeling a bit frustrated that the two girls wouldn’t even indulge him a little!

Lin Mu ate alone while the three beauties ignored him and chatted happily among themselves. Three women indeed made a show! Lin Mu was left playing a solo act!

From time to time, Lin Mu wanted to chip in a word, but could find nothing to say as the three were discussing one shampoo brand after another skincare product, none of which Lin Mu had any clue about, so he just continued eating silently!

After finishing his steak, Lin Mu patted his stomach and felt extremely comfortable. However, Qi Manlin and the others hadn’t even finished half of theirs yet. Jeez, women do eat slowly.

As the three beauties were engrossed in their chat, Lin Mu found himself unable to join in the conversation, so he dejectedly left the restaurant. Outside, he sat on a stone bench, lit a cigarette, and watched the beautiful pedestrians passing by on the street—well, this was more pleasing to the eye!

Suddenly, Lin Mu’s eyebrows furrowed upon seeing a familiar figure! Lin Mu’s memory was exceptionally sharp; he clearly remembered this person as the red-dressed woman who attempted to assassinate him on the cruise that day!

Lin Mu looked towards the mysterious woman, and the woman glanced at Lin Mu, their eyes meeting!

"No doubt, it’s her!"

Lin Mu spat out the cigarette and walked towards the mysterious woman.

But the woman turned and slipped into the crowd. Lin Mu sped up to chase, but amidst the throng of people, the mysterious woman’s silhouette had vanished when Lin Mu arrived!

Standing there, Lin Mu stroked his chin, pondering why this woman showed up. Could it be...?

"Oh no!"

Lin Mu suddenly came to his senses—Qi Manlin and the others were still in the restaurant. If this woman wasn’t targeting him, she must be going after the girls.

Without hesitation, Lin Mu bolted towards the restaurant. Upon reaching the entrance, he saw Qi Manlin and her friends still laughing and chatting, unharmed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief! Lin Mu walked in, and the observant Zhou Xun noticed his strange expression!

"Lin Mu, what’s wrong?" Zhou Xun asked.

"Hehe, nothing’s wrong." Lin Mu smiled and waved it off.

"Oh, a little girl just delivered a box, asking me to pass it to you," Zhou Xun nodded and said.

"A box? What box?" Lin Mu frowned, feeling puzzled.

He didn’t know many people in Wancheng, apart from Sophie and the three girls. It seemed there was no one else he was familiar with here. He’d just returned from Sophie, and she wouldn’t send him any box. Could it be the mysterious woman from earlier?

"Where’s the box?" Lin Mu had an uneasy feeling and asked quickly.

"Here."

Zhou Xun said as she picked up a beautifully wrapped box from the seat and placed it on the table.

"I didn’t expect anyone to give this jerk a gift, must have nothing better to do! And so mysterious at that. I wanna see what’s inside!" Qi Manlin said, reaching for the box.

"Don’t touch it!"

Seeing this, Lin Mu sternly stopped her, then reached out to take the box.

Thanks to Lin Mu’s keen hearing, he could easily detect a ticking sound inside the box!

Lin Mu knew that mysterious woman was no good, and this box was most likely sent by her. He feared the box was trouble, so he snatched it away to prevent Qi Manlin from causing a mishap!

The mysterious woman appearing at the restaurant entrance just now must have been a diversion to catch Lin Mu’s attention. With her skills, had she not wanted to be seen, Lin Mu would never have spotted her.

"Why so serious? Fine, I won’t look at it, you act like it’s some treasure, as if I wanted to see it!"

Qi Manlin pouted in displeasure.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Lin Mu couldn’t be bothered to explain. There was a good chance it could be a time bomb!

"I’m going to the restroom!" Lin Mu then took the box and headed for the restroom.

"Hmph!" Qi Manlin huffed in annoyance.

"Manlin, ignore him!" Zhou Xun advised, "Look at him, it’s like something dangerous?"

This comment gave Qi Manlin pause because, as a police officer, she’d heard about things like letter bombs. Her resentment toward Lin Mu decreased, although she still angrily said,

"Hmph, won’t talk to him again, let’s continue eating!"

Lin Mu took the box to the restroom, locked the door, and set the box gently on the counter.

After untying the ribbon on the packaging, he opened the box, and his brows furrowed while letting out a sigh of relief. "Damn, scared me to death, it turns out to be just an alarm clock!"
