Upon hearing the commotion, Bo Changling instinctively blocked Mu Lingxi, shielding her firmly behind him.
The man's minty scent was so clear at that moment that Mu Lingxi felt a little intoxicated by it.
Looking at the strong arms in front of her, she couldn't quite explain her feelings, but she had definitely felt a little flutter in her heart.
Mu Lingxi lowered her head shyly, her small hands fiddling around as if searching for something, but it was actually just an unconscious action in her panic.
The audience was enjoying such a beautiful scene, and some fans of the couple were even obsessed with shipping them, but unexpectedly someone came to disrupt things.
Even so, many people still praised Mu Lingxi, and the public's goodwill towards her did not decrease at all.
"Hahaha, I knew things wouldn't go so smoothly. Han Jin and Yi Changfeng are both incredibly irritable. This time, Mu Lingxi is practically standing in the atmosphere."
"Is the kiss over? I was waiting to see the two of them kiss! It's such a shame! Hurry up, hurry up and give me a kiss!"
"Isn't anyone praising Bo Changling's reaction? He protected Mu Lingxi immediately without even thinking. How fast!"
"Mu Lingxi can be called the 'Daji of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. Look how she has bewitched these men. They have even started fighting. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next."
The audience's discussions are neither heard nor seen on-site, but it is precisely this authentic reaction that makes it more relatable, unlike the artificial sweeteners in some TV dramas.
Especially Bo Changling's genuine affection for Mu Lingxi is so captivating; the more you watch, the more you want to ship them.
Bo Changling looked at her reassuringly, then stood in front of her without hesitation, completely shielding Mu Lingxi, before turning to the two unwanted people.
"What's all the noise about? If you want to freeload, then eat properly and don't disturb our date."
Bo Changling's voice carried a hint of coldness, and his tone was full of intimidation. If the person who came was just an ordinary person, he would really be intimidated by such an aura.
However, Han Jin and Yi Changfeng were not ordinary people after all, and they were not frightened.
However, seeing that Bo Changling was completely hidden behind him, Mu Lingxi, who was somewhat ashamed to be seen, softened her tone.
Han Jin spoke first. He was already very eloquent, and now he put in even more effort to ease the awkward atmosphere.
After all, everyone was going to have dinner together later, and he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Mu Lingxi.
"Well, we're hungry too. The staff told us you ordered a lot of dishes, so we thought we'd just come and freeload. Hope you don't mind."
While Han Jin was speaking, Mu Lingxi was already quickly composing herself and trying to get out of this shy state.
She was determined to be someone of high standing, and although what happened just now was... well, it's hard to explain, but she wasn't afraid.
Moreover, compared to the precarious existence of her previous life, where Mu Lingxi even had to rely on a powerful patron, Bo Changling was indeed a much better choice.
Of course, she couldn't afford to offend Han Jin and Yi Changfeng right now, since who knew what kind of power they had behind them.
In my previous life, I encountered such a huge turmoil; were they involved in it?
Mu Lingxi was unusually thoughtful, her big eyes darting around, clearly deep in thought.
However, having thought these things through, Mu Lingxi gently tugged at Bo Changling's sleeve, and a slightly shy voice came from behind him.
"Ahem, Bo Changling, I'm hungry. Hurry up and urge the waiter to bring the food."
The girl's voice was like a dessert, soft and sweet, very pleasant to listen to, and—
Her small hand tugging at Bo Changling's sleeve, that awkward gesture, made everyone who saw it envious of Bo Changling.
Especially Yi Changfeng, who had just been held down by Han Jin to keep him from speaking, couldn't hold back any longer and immediately started talking.
"Lingxi! How can you get so close to this guy? He's so fierce, he might accidentally make you cry. Come here, come sit next to me."
Yi Changfeng glared at Bo Changling without any politeness, and wisely refrained from mentioning what had just happened; he was afraid…
He was terrified that Mu Lingxi would actually treat Bo Changling differently. If he brought it up again, wouldn't that make the girl even more inclined to side with that bastard Bo Changling?
Yi Changfeng is just a bit straightforward and doesn't speak in roundabout ways, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.
He now regards Bo Changling as his number one rival in love, and is even extremely envious of him, since Bo Changling almost stole a girl's kiss just now.
Yes, Yi Changfeng firmly believed that it was that old bastard Bo Changling who fooled Mu Lingxi. His innocent and naive Xi'er was so pitifully fooled.
He was determined to rescue the girl, after all, Xi'er had been blinded by this bastard, and he had a duty to save Mu Lingxi.
Yi Changfeng may have stumbled upon this by accident, but he actually managed to bring Mu Lingxi out.
As Mu Lingxi walked out, she explained to them that she couldn't keep hiding behind Bo Changling. Everyone would be eating together later, and if she continued to hide, what would become of her?
"No, that's not the case. Bo Changling is a very good person. He just looks fierce, but he's actually a very nice person."
Mu Lingxi stepped out from behind Bo Changling. Her red lips parted slightly, and a faint blush graced her fair face, making her look like a delicious peach, very tempting.
Especially her clear eyes and the way she spoke kindly to Bo Changling, along with her milky green dress, made her seem like a gentle breeze, soothing the anxiety and worry of everyone present.
That's how it is. Mu Lingxi's simple appearance can make people feel refreshed and relaxed.
Yi Changfeng's heart raced even faster. If he was a fighting little lion just now, he was now a docile big dog.
He stared intently at Mu Lingxi, unable to utter a single word, and his ears and neck turned bright red.
As for Han Jin, his gaze became even more profound. There was no doubt that he liked Mu Lingxi.
But when he heard the girl speaking to Bo Changling, he couldn't deny that a spark of jealousy was quietly igniting in his heart, and he didn't know when it would start a prairie fire.
Bo Changling originally wanted to lose his temper, and even more so wanted to kick out Yi Changfeng, that scoundrel who sowed discord.
However, Mu Lingxi's voice was like a clear spring, extinguishing all the heat in his heart.
As Bo Changling listened to her explanation, he felt an indescribable surge of emotion, and his gaze towards her gradually became more intense.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!
