However, Mu Yijie's crazy hints only made Yong Shanling misunderstand that he had no feelings for her. That was why he could talk about his wife in front of her without any scruples.
Yong Shanling originally wanted to say, "Let me be your wife. Don't look for anyone else, okay?" Suddenly, she remembered what Hou Hua had said: one should pursue first, then fall in love, and only then could one become a wife. So she forced herself to swallow the words that were already on the tip of her tongue.
At this moment, Mu Yijie had no idea that thanks to Hou Hua's "assistance", he had missed such a great opportunity.
"Okay, Uncle Mu, I'll go and refine pills. I'll refine the Washing Spirit Pills." Yong Shanling looked at the First Spirit Grass in her hand with shining eyes. She decided to give it to Uncle Mu as a gift after she refined it.
Mu Yijie felt a bit disappointed. It seemed that the little girl still hadn't caught on. All she could think about all day was cultivation. He helplessly ruffled Yong Shanling's hair until it was in a complete mess before stopping.
"I'll go instead. Have you forgotten how often you blow up the pill furnace?" Mu Yijie took the First Spirit Grass from Yong Shanling's hand, feeling that his path to winning his girl's heart was still a long one.
"Ah~" Before Yong Shanling could react, Mu Yijie had snatched the First Spirit Grass from her and gone to refine pills on his own. Her gift~ Yong Shanling felt like crying inside.
It didn't matter. Besides this, she had other gifts. Yong Shanling stood there, clenching her fist.
From then on, every day.
"Uncle Mu, this is the milk for you. I heard that drinking more of it can make you fairer and taller." Yong Shanling happily brought the milk from her room to Uncle Mu and looked at him expectantly. She had secretly taken a sip just now. If Uncle Mu drank it now, it was, rounding it off, like they had kissed.
Thinking of this, Yong Shanling looked at Mu Yijie even more eagerly.
However, in Mu Yijie's eyes, it was just that the little girl was throwing another tantrum and didn't want to drink the milk properly. Now she was even openly asking him to drink it. The most important thing was that she actually thought he was dark and short. He was already 1.9 meters tall. Was that short?
Mu Yijie gritted his teeth in his heart, but on the surface, he calmly said, "Ling'er, you drink more. Then you'll be as tall as Uncle Mu's shoulder."
Yong Shanling, who was only 1.55 meters tall, felt like she had been shot in the knee. She felt like crying inside. Uncle Mu really liked tall girls. Now he was even starting to dislike her height.
With a sad look in her eyes, she snatched back the "kissing milk" that she had gone to so much trouble for, tilted her head back, and "gulped" it all down in one go. After that, she glared at this unromantic Uncle Mu and then turned around and ran away.
She was going to cultivate. If science couldn't solve the problem of her height, then surely the method of cultivating immortality could.
After that, Mu Yijie always got found by Yong Shanling in various places. She would grab him and ask him to cultivate with her. He was already quite hard - working, but under Yong Shanling's supervision, he became even more fanatical.
However, in Yong Shanling's eyes, this was just a date for the two of them. She was strictly following the methods in the dating guide.
Doing something together. Check!
After that, Assistant Fang found that his hard - working boss had completely become like a king who no longer attended morning court. Of course, Mu Yijie would always find time to deal with the company's affairs. But he was so different from the person who used to live in the company almost 24 hours a day.
The culprit who caused all this was happily looking at the methods of pursuing a man on the Internet. Yong Shanling showed a cute smile. This method was very suitable for her.
She was sure to make Uncle Mu feel her goodness. Yong Shanling happily clenched her fist.
"Knock, knock. Ling'er, haven't you gone to bed yet?" Suddenly, the knock on the door interrupted Yong Shanling's daydream.
Yong Shanling nimbly got into her quilt and said, "Uncle Mu, I'll go to sleep right away."
The next day, Mu Yijie had something to do in the northern suburbs. Yong Shanling's eyes immediately lit up. "Uncle Mu, I want to go too. I've been recuperating at home recently. I'm almost growing mushrooms."
Mu Yijie frowned and looked at Yong Shanling's pale face. "Your injury isn't healed yet. Just stay at home obediently."
When Yong Shanling heard this, she got anxious immediately. If she didn't go, how could she carry out her plan? She walked a few steps to Mu Yijie's side, tightly hugged his arm, and coquettishly said in a soft voice, "Uncle Mu, please let me go, okay?"
Mu Yijie felt the faint fragrance around him and lowered his eyes. "Have a good rest, okay? I'll bring you your favorite food from Weizhai when I come back."
"Uncle Mu~ Delicious food tastes best when eaten right away. It will lose its flavor by the time you bring it back. If you don't let me go, I'll go by myself. Don't be angry then. I've told you in advance." Yong Shanling threw away Mu Yijie's arm and turned around angrily.
"Ling'er! What did you promise before?" Mu Yijie's voice sank.
Yong Shanling immediately wilted and looked at Mu Yijie pitifully. "Uncle Mu, I haven't been out for 25 days and 10 hours. If I don't go out, I'll turn into a wilted cabbage."
Mu Yijie sighed and pulled her hand. "Fine, but first, let's make it clear. Don't run around. If something happens, tell me."
Yong Shanling felt the hot big hand holding hers. Naturally, she would agree to anything he said. There was a blush on her fair face.
Assistant Fang, who had been waiting for a long time, watched helplessly as his boss brought a little girl with him when he went to negotiate. He couldn't help but complain in his heart. Was this the "seductress" who made his boss neglect his work? Assistant Fang immediately spurned his own dirty thoughts. How could his boss do anything to such a cute girl? He must have thought too much. It should be that his boss was like an old father who was neglecting work for the little princess.
When Assistant Fang found out in the future that his boss was actually together with Yong Shanling, he would probably drop his jaw.
"Mr. Mu, long time no see." A man who looked very amiable walked over and shook hands with Mu Yijie with a smile.
"Mr. Fang. Long time no see." Mu Yijie nodded slightly, with a smile on his lips that was so perfect it seemed to have been carefully measured.
Yong Shanling followed Mu Yijie and looked at Uncle Mu curiously. She had never seen him like this before.
"And this is—" Fang Rende turned his gaze to Yong Shanling and asked curiously.
"This is a friend of mine." Mu Yijie said calmly.
Fang Rende immediately got the hint and secretly crossed out his plan to go to the bar to relax.
After that, the few of them had a pleasant conversation. But Yong Shanling on the side was anxiously stealing glances. She couldn't help but whisper to Liu Lingtong, "Is it really today? Why hasn't it happened yet?"
Liu Lingtong behind her ear rubbed her earlobe and whispered in her mind, "It's coming soon. Don't be impatient, Lingling."
Just as the waiter came in to serve the dishes, suddenly a cute girl's hand trembled, and the hot soup in her hand splashed towards Mu Yijie.
"Be careful, Mr. Mu!" Fang Rende watched this scene in horror.
"Uncle Mu, I'm coming to save you."
