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

Chapter 590 The Sobering Fall of the Cannon Fodder Junior Schoolgirl (30)

In the office, Xu Ran looked at Mu Zhou.

"You're resigning?"

"Yes."

Mu Zhou's personality was not assertive, and he didn't have any great ambitions.

Now that she has saved some money and received compensation from Xu Ran, all she wants to do is open a small shop.

Xu Ran looked at the gifts she hadn't had time to give out yet, and the work shoes she had prepared for Mu Zhou, and felt a pang of sadness.

He suddenly realized that if he didn't say what he had been preparing for so long, he might never have the chance again.

“Mu Zhou,” he suddenly sat up straight, his expression serious, “I think I must admit that I have fallen in love with you.”

Mu Zhou looked dazed and confused.

A glimmer of hope rose in Xu Ran's heart:

"I'm sorry, our beginning wasn't very pleasant, but as we've spent time together, I've developed feelings for you, I just haven't dared to admit it."

Even after learning of Lin Yumo's death, he didn't feel much grief, only a sense of melancholy.

Then she began to worry about Mu Zhou.

After all, Lin Yumo and Jiang Chenbai are two very extreme people, and who knows if Mu Zhou might be involved when they get together.

Unfortunately, after he realized his own feelings and fell completely in love with Mu Zhou, Mu Zhou already had another man by her side.

Mu Zhou listened to the whole thing without showing any particular expression, only smiling slightly at the end, her tone calm yet somewhat wistful:

"If I had heard these words when I was newly married, I think I would have been very happy."

The meaning of this passage is already quite clear.

in case……

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

too late.

He missed Mu Zhou.

Xu Ran felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she maintained her composure, forcing a smile as she tried to persuade him:

"Perhaps you can reconsider. You haven't known Shen Linshu for very long, so I think you should be more cautious."

He even suggested:

"You don't need to rush to reply to me. You can try spending some time with Shen Linshu first."

When Xu Ran said those words, she felt a little ridiculous.

He never imagined he would try to win someone back in such a shameless way.

But compared to the fact that Mu Zhou would never be by his side in the future, he would rather put his pride aside.

Even so, all I got in return was Mu Zhou's "I'm sorry".

Xu Ran felt that he didn't seem to know Mu Zhou that well either.

He thought Mu Zhou was a simple person with little opinion, and even a bit love-struck.

It won't be too difficult to win her back.

But in reality, she has always been a person who dares to love and hate.

Because I liked him, I agreed to marry him even if it meant being his tool.

Now that she no longer loves him, no matter how he tries to win her back, she will not waver in the slightest.

It wasn't until long after Mu Zhou left that Xu Ran's tense body stiffened and she leaned back in her seat.

I felt completely drained, with no strength left.

After resigning, Mu Zhou began to set up his own bookstore.

Meanwhile, Shen Linshu also uncovered some clues after careful investigation.

This proves that Mu Zhou did indeed go to Banshan on the day of the rainstorm.

Jiang Chenbai received a mysterious phone call before he reached the mountainside, and Lin Yumo called Mu Zhou while she was on the mountainside.

All signs indicate that the two's presence halfway up the mountain seems to be related to Mu Zhou.

Because the deaths of these two people in that mudslide were attributed to an accident, no one bothered to investigate further.

After Shen Linshu learned of the evidence against Mu Zhou, he quickly destroyed it.

He didn't know what happened that day.

Why did Mu Zhou go to the mountainside?

Why hide this matter?

Did she see Jiang Chenbai and Lin Yumo on the mountainside?

The most reasonable idea that Shen Linshu could think of was that Mu Zhou had been tricked by one of them to go halfway up the mountain that day, but they had a dispute over something, so Mu Zhou left early.

As a result, the two of them had an accident.

But when he met Mu Zhou, there was no news of the mudslide and their deaths. Why did Mu Zhou hide it from him at that time and lie that he only went to the mall?

Shen Linshu closed his eyes to calm himself down.

He felt sorry for Mu Zhou.

She kept it a secret probably because she was afraid of being questioned by the Lin and Jiang families without knowing the facts. She must have been under a lot of psychological pressure during this time.

Shen Linshu was also a little disappointed.

It turns out that her enthusiastic response that night wasn't simply a return of love, but more likely because she was under too much pressure and wanted to find some comfort.

Shen Linshu had studied psychology, and he knew that many people would seek a moment of peace and release by engaging in intimate contact to distract themselves when faced with major changes or accidents.

But then I thought, the fact that she was willing to come to me shows that I treat her differently.

Shen Linshu successfully convinced himself.

And decided that in the days to come, he would work harder so that Mu Zhou would not have the energy to think about these troublesome things.

Mu Zhou had no idea that his thoughts had strayed off course to this point.

All she knew was that she was suddenly plunged into misery in the days that followed.

I experience both pain and joy every day.

He almost felt his legs go weak just looking at Shen Linshu.

At night, Mu Zhou lay in bed, his expression confused.

She was sweating all over.

Strands of hair clung messily to her cheeks, her wet eyes stared unblinkingly at Shen Linshu with a pitiful look.

Her whole body was tinged with a blush.

Only one floor lamp was on in the bedroom.

The dappled light fell on Mu Zhou, making her appear like a goddess enveloped in a halo.

Shen Linshu gazed at everything before him, his eyes darkening.

He slid his large hand down, grabbed her slender waist, and couldn't help but knead it.

Shen Linshu was somewhat reckless.

"Baby, how can I resist looking at me like that..."

His thin lips brushed against Mu Zhou's ear, his voice already hoarse.

Mu Zhou's sobs quickly broke down.

…………

Because Mu Zhou's parents were coming the next day, Shen Linshu didn't stay up too late.

"Go to sleep."

He held Mu Zhou, who had already fallen asleep, and brushed away the strands of hair on her forehead that were damp with sweat.

Seeing that there was no trace of gloom or fear between her brows and that she was sleeping soundly and peacefully, I couldn't help but feel somewhat satisfied with myself.

Sure enough, this was the quickest way to distract her.

Next comes meeting the parents, preparing for their wedding, and the opening of Mu Zhou Bookstore. She probably won't have the energy to think about anything else.

With his subtle hints, almost no media outlets mentioned Jiang Chenbai and Lin Yumo anymore.

Shen Linshu was no longer curious about what exactly happened that day; he only hoped that Mu Zhou would forget everything and live a good life.

He tightened his arms and let out a satisfied sigh.

*

A small incident occurred on the day we went to pick up Mu Zhou's parents.

Xu Ran somehow found out about this and actually knocked on the door of the private room.

Because Mu Zhou had not mentioned his previous marriage to his parents, they were completely unaware of it and looked at him with suspicion.

Mu Zhou's expression was rather unpleasant.

Although being married wasn't a big deal, Mu Zhou was very unhappy about Xu Ran's uninvited visit.

Shen Linshu showed an unwelcoming attitude and got up to shoo him away.
