Chapter 739 Childhood Sweetheart Marries Her Brother in Revenge, Then Regrets It (17)

"Tomorrow? You're asking me out?"

Mu Zhou was getting her nails done while talking on the phone with Lu Chen.

Perhaps because she was in a good mood, her voice was sweet and melodious, like a feather brushing against Lu Chen's ear through the receiver.

His body tensed instantly; he could almost picture Mu Zhou's expression at that moment.

My throat felt inexplicably dry, and just as I was about to answer "yes," I heard Mu Zhou say again:

"But I don't have time tomorrow, I'm going shopping with my friends."

She spoke in a soft, delicate tone, yet her words of refusal were utterly merciless.

Lu Chen was taken aback.

But he quickly composed himself:

"Okay, then... what about the day after tomorrow?"

"Hmm... the day after tomorrow won't work either. Xiaolin bought an island, so we'll set off tomorrow night to spend a few days there."

Just then, the nail technician reminded Mu Zhou that he could switch hands, so Mu Zhou said:

"I'll hang up now. I'll contact you when I get back. You get back to work. Bye."

Lu Chen listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, silently put down his phone, and his face gradually darkened.

He admitted that during this period, because of Mu Zhou, he had almost been unable to immerse himself in his work for extended periods of time.

It felt as if his heart was being lifted into the air by floating clouds, and the unease of being blown away by the wind at any moment made him think of Mu Zhou all the time.

Whenever he thought Mu Zhou's initiative to approach him was some kind of signal, she would gracefully leave again.

And so it went, over and over again.

Lu Chen took off his glasses, loosened his collar, and leaned back in his seat.

The frustration in his heart made him close his eyes.

A cold and menacing aura enveloped him.

This anxiety and unease, this feeling that his mind no longer belonged to him, almost swallowed him up by dark emotions.

But the melancholy lasted only two minutes before the phone rang again.

He coldly opened his eyes and picked up his phone.

When he saw the words "Mu Zhou" above, he almost thought he was hallucinating.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, he hurriedly answered the call.

For a moment, he felt as if his breathing was a little disordered.

Mingming, he has been sitting here without moving.

Mu Zhou on the other end of the phone said:

"By the way, I heard you also bought an island in Country Y?"

She immediately mentioned the small island in Country Y, which made Lu Chen pause for a moment before he said:

"Correct."

"How is it? Do you usually go there for vacation? Is the infrastructure there okay? Xiaolin said it's great, but she's not very reliable. I'm worried that not everything will be available and I won't have a good time."

Lu Chen cleared his throat slightly and analyzed the situation seriously:

“I’ve only been there twice, but it’s very well-developed and has everything you need. Plus, private islands have security, so bring more bodyguards if you go.”

"I can rest assured that."

Mu Zhou's voice was light and cheerful.

Lu Chen's mood seemed to suddenly clear up like the sun after the dark clouds had parted. He listened to Mu Zhou rambling on about what he wanted to bring, and occasionally chimed in with a comment.

It took him a while to suddenly remember.

Country Y?

Jiang Wanqing was there at that moment, as was Lu Ting.

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering slightly.

Although Y country is not small, and Mu Zhou and his group went to a private island.

But it's still the same country.

So before the call ended, Lu Chen suddenly spoke:

"I happen to have some free time these few days, and I'm planning to go to the island to take a look. Would you mind if I joined you?"

"……real?!"

"Ah."

Mu Zhou smiled, his voice filled with pleasure:

"Of course I don't mind. Actually, everyone said to bring your partner from the beginning, and they even asked me to bring you too, but I felt that you're so busy with work, so I didn't want to cause you any trouble, which is why I didn't ask."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was extremely grateful that he had taken the initiative to secure this opportunity to travel together.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke in a deep voice:

"How could being with you be a burden? I'd be more than happy to do so."

The sincerity in his words was obvious to everyone.

The call suddenly fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of their breathing remaining.

After a long pause, Mu Zhou finally gave a soft "hmm".

In an instant, Lu Chen's heart felt as if it had been struck by something.

An uncontrollable flutter of excitement followed.

He couldn't calm down even after hanging up the phone.

The smile on his lips didn't fade until his secretary came in to inquire about the upcoming schedule.

On the other side, Mu Zhou admired the manicure, feeling equally pleased.

Ever since she learned that Xiaolin had bought a small island in Country Y, she had been planning to take Lu Chen there.

The current developments are exactly what she wanted.

*

After landing in Country Y, the group took a private speedboat to the island.

On the deck, Mu Zhou lay there, sunbathing with the sea breeze.

Xiaolin leaned closer and said mysteriously:

"Are you serious with the eldest brother of the Lu family?"

Mu Zhou was wearing large sunglasses, and Xiao Lin didn't know if she had her eyes open or not, so she reached out and took them off for her.

"Tell me quickly, I'm dying of curiosity."

Xiaolin got married recently and has been on her honeymoon around the world with her husband. When she heard about Mu Zhou and Lu Chen, she was incredibly excited.

You should know that although Lu Chen is only a few years older than them, they never associate with each other.

To this group of people, Lu Chen was an elder, a role model for another social class.

They spoke of Lu Chen with nothing but respect and awe, daring not to harbor any other thoughts.

Who would have thought that Mu Zhou, the most arrogant and willful person in the circle, would actually marry Lu Chen, who is calm and steady.

In particular, this one is Lu Ting's older brother.

Unable to bear the noise any longer, Mu Zhou said lazily:

"They've already got the marriage certificate, how could it be fake?"

Xiaolin glanced at Lu Chen, who had just come out of the cabin.

He probably went directly to the airport from the company, without even having time to change out of his suit; he was still so formal and serious.

His presence made the others a little hesitant to act recklessly, and they all obediently drank and chatted.

Xiaolin clicked her tongue a few times, then suddenly raised an eyebrow at her mysteriously:

"Hey, is Brother Lu this calm and composed in bed too? Tell me, what type is he? This refined scoundrel doesn't seem like someone with brute strength. Is he the skill type? Or the endurance type...?"

Mu Zhou sat up, initially not intending to respond to Xiao Lin's teasing.

After all, she's never been one to keep her mouth shut; she can say anything.

She only glanced up and saw Lu Chen approaching; she quickly covered Xiaolin's mouth with her hand.

"Shut up, you!"

As the two were arguing, Xiaolin noticed Lu Chen beside her. She quickly cleared her throat and pretended nothing had happened.

"Well, I'm going to have some drinks. You two can chat."

He then got up and ran away.

Mu Zhou glared at her secretly.

No future.

When she looked at Lu Chen again, her eyes involuntarily held a hint of inquiry.

Lu Chen is always so well-covered up, I've never actually seen his physique.

However, I managed to hug him a few times before, so I guess he must have practiced before.

In their social class, both men and women pay attention to maintaining their physique, and regular exercise is definitely essential.

that……

Mu Zhou's gaze fixed on Lu Chen's chest was somewhat blatant.

Upon noticing this, Lu Chen felt a sudden tightness in his chest, which gradually began to burn.

The expression that had remained unchanged upon hearing Xiaolin's words now subtly shifted, revealing a certain turbulence.
