To be fair, Mu Liuyun's height wasn't particularly short, but in Chu Yaqin's eyes, she looked tiny and easy to hug.
Chu Yaqin couldn't bear to follow Mu Liuyun any longer, so she immediately took two steps forward and hugged Mu Liuyun from behind.
"Xiaoyun, have you missed me?"
The sudden brainwave caused Mu Liuyun's neck to bend forward at an odd angle. If Mu Liuyun's spine hadn't been strong enough, this would have made him vomit.
"think."
However, Mu Liuyun did not say it aloud, but gave the response that Chu Yaqin hoped for.
Mu Liuyun was a little unsure how to face Chu Yaqin, whether to succumb to primal desires or adhere to her own bottom line.
Chu Yaqin didn't notice anything wrong with Mu Liuyun because she smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen. After a busy day, Chu Yaqin suddenly felt hungry and immediately carried Mu Liuyun to the dining table.
"Xiaoyun, is there any food for me?"
"Of course, thank you for treating me to dinner the day before yesterday. Yaqin, let go of me first, I'll go get some rice."
With that, Mu Liuyun stepped out of Chu Yaqin's arms and walked into the kitchen alone.
Chu Yaqin sat at the dining table, looking at Mu Liuyun with a happy expression, but at the same time, she was also a little worried.
Chu Yaqin had just heard the name Lin Jianglu from Shi Hengyu. She was certain that she had heard Lin Yurou mention that she had four sisters, one of whom was named Lin Jianglu.
Upon learning that Lin Jianglu and Mu Liuyun looked very alike, Chu Yaqin suddenly realized that Lin Yurou and her sisters might all look very similar.
Because she had never met any other members of the Lin family before, and because the Lin sisters were quite far apart in age, Chu Yaqin never imagined that Lin Yurou would look like her sisters.
But now, with Lin Yurou, Lin Jianglu, and Mu Liuyun, is this really just a coincidence?
Could it be that her Xiaoyun is actually the lost young master of the Lin family?
As Mu Liuyun brought out dish after dish, Chu Yaqin's brows gradually furrowed.
"Yaqin, don't you like these dishes?"
After serving the dishes, Mu Liuyun, who was about to go back to get more rice, noticed Chu Yaqin's expression and couldn't help but ask.
Chu Yaqin, who was deep in thought, was interrupted by Mu Liuyun. Only then did she realize that she had made a mistake in managing her expression and quickly adjusted herself: "No, no, I have some work to do."
After saying that, Chu Yaqin laughed self-deprecatingly again.
How could that be?
In recent years, the Lin family has been dominated by women, so having such a young master is something the whole family should be overjoyed about. How could they possibly bear to lose this child?
Besides, the Lin family is one of the two major families in Jincheng. How could a child going missing happen in the Lin family? And she had never heard Lin Yurou mention that she had a younger brother.
Rather than believing that the Lin family would make such a mistake, Chu Yaqin preferred to believe that it was all just a beautiful coincidence.
Chu Yaqin suddenly wanted to take Mu Liuyun to meet Lin Yurou, to see if her usually mischievous best friend would be so surprised when she saw Mu Liuyun.
"Yaqin, is dinner ready?"
At Mu Liuyun's prompting, Chu Yaqin coughed lightly twice.
However, before officially starting the meal, Chu Yaqin took out her phone, took a picture of the dining table and Mu Liuyun, and then sent it to Mu Lixiong.
That old man, despite how nonchalantly he left, was actually quite reluctant to part with his beloved grandson. He almost cried when he left. He hoped that Chu Yaqin could send him more photos of Mu Liuyun and Mu Xiaoxi.
Then, before picking up her chopsticks, Chu Yaqin, after putting down her phone, couldn't resist pinching Mu Liuyun's cheek.
“…”
Mu Liuyun, who was being pinched, unconsciously clenched her hands under the table.
For some reason, Chu Yaqin's beautiful face gradually overlapped with Du Shang's fat face in his vision.
...
...
"Xiaoyu!"
Sitting in the back seat of the old car, Long Haochen felt like he was crawling with lice, and he looked at Shi Hengyu beside him with great unease.
"I'm so nervous! What should I do? I'm not going to mess this up!"
As the young master of the Long family, Long Haochen was not worried about the matter being exposed and his and Shi Hengyu's safety being compromised. After all, in addition to calling the police, he also found some people to hide nearby so that they could arrive within ten minutes if there was any movement.
But what he feared was that he couldn't help Mu Liuyun.
Long Haochen initially helped Mu Liuyun to establish connections with Chu Yaqin and Shen Lanxin. Now, having found his childhood friend, he treats Mu Liuyun as a good friend as well.
"And what about Mu Xiaoxi and the others? Are they in danger? These people might have weapons!"
"It's alright, everything has been arranged."
Shi Hengyu had indeed made ample preparations for this matter, and even went so far as to ask Chu Yaqin for help.
Even so, he was very nervous at first.
But at this moment, apart from his furrowed brows and a hint of confusion in his eyes, he showed almost no sign of tension.
That sense of confusion had nothing to do with what they were about to do.
When he went to see Chu Yaqin in the afternoon, Chu Yaqin asked him a question: "What kind of person do you regard Xiaoyun as?"
For Shi Hengyu, this was originally a very simple question: friends, childhood friends, confidants, or playmates.
But Shi Hengyu knew that these were not the answers Chu Yaqin wanted to hear.
Her all-seeing gaze left Shi Hengyu unable to embellish himself with any words.
Just as he could see at a glance that Chu Yaqin liked Mu Liuyun, Chu Yaqin could also see through his heart at a glance—his filthy and despicable heart.
Yes, most of the time, Shi Hengyu was seeing his first love, his white moonlight, and his sister Jiang Lu through Mu Liuyun.
Fortunately, Shi Hengyu hadn't fallen too deeply into the situation. He could distinguish between Mu Liuyun and Lin Jianglu, but to him, Mu Liuyun was merely a shadow of Lin Jianglu.
So Shi Hengyu told Chu Yaqin his story, which earned him a disdainful look from her.
However, since Chu Yaqin liked Mu Liuyun, even though she despised Shi Hengyu, she agreed to his proposal.
As Shi Hengyu prepared to leave, Chu Yaqin said calmly, "I know Lin Jianglu, but she probably wouldn't even glance at you now."
Shi Hengyu understood what Chu Yaqin meant. She wasn't talking about the difference in their social status, but rather about how despicable Shi Hengyu was.
In fact, Shi Hengyu himself sometimes doesn't understand why he still views Mu Liuyun in this way when he was in a slump and Mu Liuyun pulled him out of it.
"Young Master Long, you can get off the car now."
The chubby waiter who suddenly walked over interrupted Shi Hengyu's thoughts. Shi Hengyu patted Long Haochen's shoulder, whose body was trembling slightly, and took a deep breath before getting out of the car.
