Chapter 580 The Sobering Fall of the Cannon Fodder Junior Schoolgirl (20)
Seeing Mu Zhou and Xu Ran appear like a loving couple, Shen Linshu gritted his teeth in hatred, a surge of anger rising from his chest.
Without any hesitation, he walked straight toward her.
Shen Linshu's family wielded immense power, and countless people wanted to approach and speak with them.
However, many people hesitated to approach him because of his gloomy eyes.
They watched as he walked up to Xu Ran and his wife.
Shen Linshu stared intently at Mu Zhou.
This woman, who had been kissed by him in his car at noon until she was weak all over and trembling uncontrollably.
Now, however, she's seen with another man, attending such events as a married couple.
Ha, what do you take Shen Linshu for?
A pastime?
Shen Linshu's eyes were cold and sharp, and his handsome features were covered with a strong sense of ferocity.
Xu Ran instantly sensed his ill intentions and calmly stepped in front of Mu Zhou, saying to him:
"Mr. Shen, it's been a long time. I haven't had a chance to thank you for saving my wife the last two times. It's just so happens that we meet today, so I'd like to propose a toast to you."
Shen Linshu then turned his gaze to Xu Ran.
He raised his glass, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I owe President Shen two favors. If you ever need anything from me in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
These words were grating to Shen Linshu's ears, and his emotions began to spiral out of control. He couldn't help but sneer:
"No need, I will collect what she owes me."
After saying that, he glanced at Mu Zhou, who was hiding behind Xu Ran like a quail.
Xu Ran's act of asserting sovereignty did not achieve the result he wanted, and his expression turned cold.
"Mu Zhou is my wife. She owes President Shen a favor, and I will repay it myself."
Shen Linshu's eyes were filled with dark turmoil. His face was dark and terrifying, and he looked like he was about to lose his temper, but in the blink of an eye, he chuckled.
When he spoke again, his tone was nonchalant, yet it sent chills down one's spine:
"I think Mr. Xu might have made a mistake. Mu Zhou and I..."
He glanced at Mu Zhou out of the corner of his eye, and that glance made her uncontrollably flustered.
She seemed to be able to guess what Shen Linshu was going to say next.
Is it to tell Xu Ran that they kissed?
Mu Zhou's expression changed, her hands clenching tightly with nervousness. She immediately said to Xu Ran:
"I have already thanked Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen is always willing to help others, so there is no need to mention these things again."
Shen Linshu was a man of no scruples, and she was afraid he would say something reckless. She had no choice but to interrupt him quickly.
Shen Linshu raised an eyebrow at Mu Zhou, smiling as he agreed with her:
"Yes, it's too formal to bring up these things given our relationship."
The deliberately drawn-out tone and ambiguous voice made Mu Zhou unable to help but recall his forceful kiss.
Her ears burned involuntarily, and she didn't even dare to look at Shen Linshu.
His gaze was incredibly aggressive.
Mu Zhou's obvious attempt to conceal his true feelings made Xu Ran's expression dark and uncertain. He felt as if something was blocking his chest, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Mu Zhou nudged his arm:
"Didn't you say you wanted to say hello to President Lin of Shengshi Group? There's no one with him right now."
She forcefully pushed Xu Ran away, not forgetting to give Shen Linshu a warning look, telling him not to follow and say anything out of line.
Shen Linshu was angry that she left with Xu Ran, but she also understood that if she made a scene here, Mu Zhou would also be gossiped about.
His dark eyes flickered slightly. He remained silent for a moment, sent a message, and then left the banquet hall.
On the other side, Mu Zhou followed Xu Ran and greeted several business partners.
She could clearly sense the change in Xu Ran's emotions.
But she chose to ignore it.
The atmosphere remained tense for a long time, until Xu Ran could no longer hold back and looked at her:
"Aren't you going to explain your relationship with Shen Linshu?"
Shen Linshu's words just now clearly had a hidden meaning.
It seemed like they were trying to sow discord between him and Mu Zhou.
Xu Ran knew he shouldn't fall for it, but he couldn't help wanting to ask.
Mu Zhou didn't answer directly, but instead guiltily avoided his gaze and changed the subject to something else.
Xu Ran's face grew increasingly grim, as if she was enduring unbearable pain:
"Mu Zhou, we are husband and wife."
He was angry.
Mu Zhou's temper flared up, and he couldn't help but reply:
"But we're getting a divorce soon, and our marriage was never based on love; it was just a means for you to get revenge. Why do you care about my relationships with other people? Do you even love me?"
When she uttered the last sentence, there was a hint of probing and anticipation in her eyes.
She hoped to get the answer she wanted from him.
But all she got in return was empty joy.
Xu Ran was still annoyed when she heard the first part of her words, but she immediately panicked when she heard the last question.
His instinctive resistance and denial.
"You're overthinking it. Legally, we're husband and wife. I just don't want to cause any negative impact."
Mu Zhou looked stunned, then gave a bitter smile:
"I knew it, don't worry."
After saying that, she let go of his hand:
"I feel a bit stuffy, I'm going out for a bit."
She turned and left, as if fleeing from him.
Xu Ran felt a pang of pain in her heart and suddenly regretted the words she had blurted out.
She wanted to make amends, but Mu Zhou had already run out of the banquet hall.
Just then, other people came to offer him a toast, so he had to suppress his emotions and deal with them.
*
After leaving the banquet hall, Mu Zhou went to the fountain garden on the side.
Shen Linshu sent her a message, telling her to wait for him here.
She stood in front of the fountain, holding up her skirt, lost in thought.
There were many coins in the pool, presumably someone had made a wish; the splashing water drowned out the sound of footsteps.
She only snapped back to her senses when Shen Linshu hugged her from behind.
His long arms tightened around her waist, forcing her to lean against him.
The scalding breath brushed against her ear, and she instinctively wanted to dodge, but she was restrained and unable to move.
When are you going to divorce him?
He kissed that small, lovely earlobe, which was already bright red.
After a few light pecks, he gently sucked and held it in his mouth.
Mu Zhou bit her lip hard to suppress the muffled groan that was about to escape her throat.
"Don't do this."
She panicked and tried desperately to get away.
But how could Shen Linshu possibly let her go?
He witnessed the couple's loving relationship in front of others, and his heart ached so much he felt like it was about to break.
He used all his strength, clenching his fists until they turned white, to restrain himself from immediately taking Xu Ran away from him.
He did such a good job and thought so much about her; she should give him a promise.
Give him some more treats.
Mu Zhou listened to his murmurs and was speechless at his twisted logic.
Shen Linshu turned her body around, making her face him:
"Xu Ran treats you badly; he's just using you. Besides, he can't even protect you. Divorce him."
Shen Linshu thought that no matter what, they should get them divorced first before thinking about anything else.
Seeing the hesitation and wavering in Mu Zhou's eyes, he pressed on:
"Jiang Chenbai and Lin Yumo have already dissolved their engagement, and you have achieved your goal of getting married. I think Xu Ran is also hesitating about how to bring up divorce with you."
Seeing the slight hurt in Mu Zhou's eyes, Shen Linshu felt as if a fire was burning in his chest.
He just wanted to take her home, punish her severely, and make sure she would never be hurt by another man again.
But at this moment, he must put on a sheep's skin and bewitch the little white rabbit in front of him.
"Be good, Zhouzhou."
He cupped her face in his hands and couldn't help but kiss her.
The soft, sweet taste between his lips and teeth stimulated every nerve in his body.
Meanwhile, Xu Ran, seeing that Mu Zhou hadn't returned for a long time, worried that something had happened to her and prepared to go find her.
