Chapter 54 Two Undeterred Children
Evening arrived quickly, and Mo Ziyuan had confined himself to his study all day.
Wen Shuyu looked at the casually dressed girl wandering around in front of him and asked.
"You're wearing this?"
"What's wrong? Is this not okay?" The girl tugged at the hem of her clothes, her eyes filled with doubt.
"It looks good, but I think you look even better in a formal dress."
"Alright then, I'll go find Brother Ziyuan." Lin Yiluo turned and ran towards the stairs, but Wen Shuyu grabbed her arm.
Why are you looking for him?
"Let him pick out clothes for me. All my clothes are picked out by Brother Ziyuan."
"Where is he?"
"Brother Ziyuan should be in the study. He seems to be busy. He hasn't come out all day."
Upon hearing this, Wen Shuyu subconsciously looked towards the second-floor corridor, where it was quiet behind the carved railings.
He carefully considered his words before speaking.
"Is he angry?"
"Angry?" Lin Yilu tilted her head and thought back. "No, my brother said 'Go if you want to,' and he even touched my hair."
The girl blinked at him, seemingly not understanding.
The man didn't know how to explain it to her.
"When you told him you were going to the welcome party, did he react at all?"
Lin Yiluo lowered her head and pondered.
"No."
Wen Shuyu reacted strongly to this and immediately pressed for more information.
"He didn't say anything else, just what was his expression like?"
"Hmm...no, and my brother's expression is the same as always, very gentle."
Upon hearing "gentle," Wen Shuyu was somewhat confused. Why did everyone think her brother was gentle? Was it something wrong with her?
"Then go find my brother! Let him dress you up nicely."
"Uh-huh."
……………
When the door was knocked on, Mo Ziyuan, who was in a meeting, looked visibly impatient.
"Enter."
Lin Yilu, wearing little rabbit slippers with long ears, ran over with a "tap tap tap" sound.
"Brother~"
The man, who had just been somewhat impatient, immediately changed his expression.
"What's wrong."
"Could you find me a dress?"
The man was quite satisfied with the girl's behavior of coming to him instead of asking Yi An, Zhi Xia, and Zhi Qiu for help when looking for clothes, and he patted the girl's head.
"Okay, I'll pick one for you."
…………
Mo Ziyuan took out a plain white halter-neck dress from the dressing room, which perfectly accentuated Lin Yiluo's slender waistline. She twirled in front of the mirror, the skirt flowing like moonlight, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Wow! Brother has such good taste!"
"I'll get you a different one."
"Why? This looks really nice. It goes well with the necklace my brother gave me."
Upon hearing that the girl wanted to match her necklace, Mo Ziyuan abandoned the idea.
"Then I'll find you a jacket, it's a bit cold outside."
Okay~
"Can I wear my brother's clothes?"
Those big hands were rubbing the girl's face.
"Yes."
……………
Wen Shuyu waited downstairs without any impatience. His father had told him that one should be patient and not rush a girl.
Watching Yi Luo walk towards the stairs, Wen Shuyu's eyes sparkled with admiration. She was absolutely stunning!
"Yiluo, why are you wearing a coat? It's outside..." Before she could finish speaking, she saw the man behind the girl.
"It's a bit chilly outside, wearing a jacket would be good... Haha, bro, are you coming too?"
"I'm not going. You take good care of her!"
"Okay, brother, don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of Yiluo."
After the man finished speaking, he reached out to take her hand. Lin Yiluo was also about to reach out when Mo Ziyuan quickly pulled the girl's hand back.
Wen Shuyu wanted to slap herself twice after realizing what she had done.
"Brother, it's an accident, it's an accident, I've always..."
Mo Ziyuan glanced at him, and the man immediately shut his mouth.
It was such a surprise! He always treated Yiluo like a little sister, like a child, which is why he subconsciously reached out to hold her hand. Ahhhhhh!!!
The girl's hand was held by the man, who looked at Yiluo intently, his face full of tenderness.
"Baby Yiluo, you can't let anyone else hold your hand, except for the person you love." Yiluo only loves me, so only I can hold his hand...
"Okay, I understand."
"Good girl."
Mo Ziyuan watched Lin Yiluo leave, while Wen Shuyu beside him felt a chill run down his spine. It was truly terrifying, so terrifying.
……………
The crystal chandelier in the lobby was so bright it made people dizzy. Lin Yiluo peeked inside while clinging to the door frame, and the dense crowd of people made her instinctively shrink back.
People passing by would occasionally glance in their direction.
Wen Shuyu wasn't in a hurry to urge her; he knew Lin Yiluo didn't like crowded places.
Many people recognize Lin Yiluo and Wen Shuyu, and are somewhat confused to see the two of them together.
Student A: "Wen Shuyu, what are you doing here? Come in!"
"You all go in first!"
"I'm off then!"
The men who greeted Wen Shuyu were young masters. They thought that although Wen Shuyu came from an ordinary family, she was capable of making friends.
Some people looked at Wen Shuyu with disdain. They thought, "So what if she's good-looking? She doesn't have a good family background. She still has to be a gigolo and rely on women. I never expected that she could actually curry favor with Lin Yiluo."
In the blink of an eye, people around Lin Yiluo started trying to get close to her. Lin Yiluo didn't expect this, even though she didn't know them at all.
Student B: "Why doesn't Miss Lin go in? Why don't you come in with us?"
The girl felt that ignoring them was a bit impolite, but she really didn't want to talk to them.
Wen Shuyu approached Yi Luo and spoke to them.
What are you doing?
Student C: "What's it to you? Do you even have the right to speak here?"
Wen Shuyu: "Can't you see that Miss Lin doesn't want to talk to you? What are you still doing here? Are you trying to disgust us?"
Lin Yilu nodded to herself, "That's right, I don't know them at all."
Student B: "How can you talk like that? Just because you've hooked up with the Lin family, you think you've risen to the top?"
Wen Shuyu really wanted to argue with them, but she didn't want to spoil Lin Yiluo's mood.
"So what if I've hooked up with the Lin family? I'm handsome. If you're so capable, try hooking up with them using your looks too. But with your looks, you probably don't have that chance."
People coming and going had already gathered around, ready to watch the show. Wen Shuyu pulled the girl away. Now was not the time to cause trouble. He would definitely tell his brother tonight and have him deal with these men.
…………
“I know you don’t like crowded places, so let’s not go there. Let’s go to the park, where there are fewer people.”
"good."
Upon arriving at the destination, Lin Yiluo's eyes began to wander among the various desserts. One looked delicious, another seemed quite nice. It was a pity that her stomach was so small; if it were bigger, she would definitely try them all.
Which one do you want to eat?
I want to eat strawberries.
"Then I'll eat the mango."
Wen Shuyu handed one to her and took one for herself.
The two of them each took a small spoon and stood on the grass to start eating.
Lin Yilu frowned as soon as she put it in her mouth. It didn't taste good at all, not as good as the ones at home. Wen Shuyu also thought it didn't taste good.
Wen Shuyu: "Let me try yours, let's swap."
"Okay." Neither of them gave up.
Wen Shuyu picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful from the other side of the cake, and looked around before putting it in his mouth, wanting to see if there were any spies nearby.
It seems like even a different one wouldn't taste as good. After swallowing with difficulty, the man looked at her and said this.
"Do you think it tastes good?"
"It doesn't taste good." She missed her lobster.
The two of them talked about whatever came to mind, just like children.
Wen Shuyu: "How's the injury on your leg?"
Lin Yiluo knew he cared about her, so she immediately prepared to lift her skirt to let him see, but the man covered up.
What are you doing!
"I'll show you."
"This isn't right. Let's find another place so you can take a look."
After saying that, the man pulled her towards a secluded place.
The lights grew dimmer, and fewer and fewer people were around.
Wen Shuyu sat on the fountain and kindly brushed off the dust for the girl before letting her sit down.
After Ilo sat down, she lifted her skirt.
“Look.”
Wen Shuyu peeked over and saw that there was indeed nothing wrong. There was only a faint pink mark on the inside of his knee, like a faded flower petal. However, he felt that the scar would heal soon.
