Mu Yijie had already calculated the angle to dodge casually. However, no matter how fast he was, he was no match for a cultivator at the Golden Core stage.
In the blink of an eye, Yong Shanling appeared beside Mu Yijie. She wrapped her arm around his waist, made a graceful turn, and perfectly dodged the disfiguring attack.
The movement was crisp and clean, the posture was beautiful, and the frozen position was quite heart - stirring.
But, the premise was that the rescuer was a man instead of a 1.55 - meter - tall little loli, and the rescued was a beauty instead of a 1.9 - meter - tall hunk.
Mu Yijie leaned against Yong Shanling's arms with a dark face and a dangerous smile on his lips. "Ling'er, can I move now?"
Suppressed by the spiritual energy around Yong Shanling, Mu Yijie wished he could kill everyone who had just witnessed this scene.
Fang Rende lowered his head, trying hard to hold back his laughter. The person Mr. Mu liked was really extraordinary!
Yong Shanling looked at Mu Yijie with bright eyes as if expecting something. However, Mu Yijie just straightened up naturally and sat back in his seat.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't hold it steady." The cute girl kept apologizing and tentatively moved closer to Mu Yijie.
There was a girl with a similar style to hers beside this big shot. Maybe she could rise to a high position and become a phoenix from now on. Her face looked pitiful, but her eyes couldn't hide her ambition.
Hearing this pitiful voice, Yong Shanling, who had been standing there in a daze, got excited all of a sudden. Here she was, the woman who was said to seduce Uncle Mu! What should she do at this moment?
Should she go up and scold this woman away or just act as if nothing had happened? Where was her phone? She had no idea what to do and wanted to turn to the omnipotent netizens for help.
Mu Yijie looked at the woman in front of him and frowned. He slowly turned to Fang Rende. "Is this how Mr. Fang treats his guests?"
Fang Rende, who had been paying attention to the situation, twitched the corner of his mouth. Originally, he thought that this cute young lady would have a good showdown with that equally "cute" young lady, so he didn't intervene. Who would have thought that Yong Shanling didn't play along and just stood there expressionlessly, while Mr. Mu, who was always known for his coldness, couldn't wait to come out to defend his little girlfriend.
He quickly smiled at Mu Yijie. "Of course not. It's just a misunderstanding." After saying that, he looked at the waitress with a sharp look in his eyes. "Why don't you get out quickly? Do you want me to call your manager?"
The girl's face instantly turned pale. She looked at Mu Yijie for help, but the man was just peeling shrimp for the cute girl with a doting look on his face. She gritted her teeth and quickly left.
Yong Shanling was still sitting there in a daze, doubting life. Wasn't it said that after the hero saved the beauty, the rescued would develop a good impression of the savior and might even offer to marry the savior?
She got angry and decided to scold the poster under that post later. It was so unreliable!
Well, even if she scolded, the poster was innocent. It was clearly stated as a guide to chasing one's wife, but she insisted on using it to chase a man. What could the poster do? He was also very desperate.
After that, Mu Yijie and Fang Rende signed the contract very harmoniously as if nothing had happened.
Back in the car, Mu Yijie and Yong Shanling sat in the back. Assistant Fang stared intently at the road ahead, but his heart was like a cat scratching. What was going on? They were as close as one person when they went in, but now they both had dark faces when they came out.
Out of the corner of his eye, Mu Yijie noticed that Yong Shanling had been in a daze since she got in the car, and there was occasional anger flashing in her eyes. His eyes narrowed, and he casually asked, "Ling'er, how's your cultivation going recently?"
"Not bad." Yong Shanling took out her phone and replied casually.
"Do you and Hou Hua have any plans recently?"
"Huh? No." Yong Shanling looked up at Mu Yijie in surprise for a moment and then lowered her head again.
A cold light flashed across Mu Yijie's eyes. Something was wrong. Was she hiding something from him?
"So what's wrong with you recently? Are you hiding something from me?" Mu Yijie's voice suddenly became serious.
Yong Shanling was so frightened that her hand slipped and her phone fell on her lap. She forced a smile awkwardly and said unnaturally, "No. How could I hide anything from you?"
One of the tips for pursuing an acquaintance was to take it slow. Don't make it clear before you're sure of his feelings, or you'll scare him away.
Yong Shanling kept tapping her toes on the cushion. The little figure in her heart was screaming crazily. What should she do? Uncle Mu couldn't have found out, could he?
She had a sudden inspiration. She looked at Mu Yijie angrily and said, "It's all because of a netizen. I asked him how to prepare gifts for elders. I asked if it was okay to prepare various talismans to ward off disasters, and he actually called me a crazy person. I'm scolding him back."
Yong Shanling told Mu Yijie about the other questions she had asked, and sure enough, his expression didn't look so bad.
She quickly said, "I shouldn't have scolded him, but he scolded me first. I just scolded him back."
Looking at the extremely guilty Yong Shanling, Mu Yijie felt both amused and helpless. Did she think he was an old - fashioned person?
A smile appeared on his face. "Okay, I thought it was something big! Uncle Mu even fought with others when he was young."
Yong Shanling immediately looked up at Uncle Mu. She scanned his handsome face, then looked at his suit, his neatly buttoned shirt, and his ascetic expression.
Could a person like Uncle Mu have fought when he was young?
"I don't believe it!" Yong Shanling murmured in a low voice.
Mu Yijie chuckled. "Don't you believe it? I was the school bully at that time. During my rebellious teenage years, I was a bit confused, so I hung out with a bunch of little brothers all day long and got into a lot of fights."
Assistant Fang in the front slandered in his heart: Hanging out all day long and still managing to build a listed game company. Why are you so outstanding when we've all had nine years of compulsory education?
"That must have been exciting. Uncle Mu, tell me about it!" Yong Shanling pretended to casually put her arm around Mu Yijie's and leaned her head on his shoulder.
Her heart was beating like crazy. She felt as if she could hear her own heartbeat. Before she knew she liked Uncle Mu, she had never felt like this when getting close to him. It was like doing something bad, exciting and thrilling.
When Yong Shanling leaned over, Mu Yijie's body stiffened for a moment and then returned to normal the next second.
"At that time, we..."
The two chatted all the way in the car. Yong Shanling learned a lot about him. It turned out that his parents loved traveling, so even though they loved him very much, they could only spend a little time with him each year. It also turned out that he never ate coriander because during his adolescence, his grandfather sent him to the army. The cook there loved to put coriander in the food, and he almost vomited. After that, he swore never to eat coriander again.
