With everyone’s piercing gazes fixed on him, Lin Mubai remained completely composed. He looked at everyone calmly, smiled calmly, and said calmly, "I told you I had a girlfriend when I returned to the country this year."
Everyone was stunned, their facial expressions beginning to contort, each thinking to themselves, "You said that back then, but who knew it was true."
His own words were met with such skepticism, Lin Mubai could only shrug helplessly, saying, "I don’t know when my words started losing credibility."
Everyone clearly felt that Young Master Lin was in a good mood today, so they spoke more freely and openly.
"When will Young Master Lin introduce his girlfriend to us?" Zhao Tianchen, the sole heir of the Zhao Family, voiced the thoughts of everyone present.
"Sure." Young Master Lin agreed readily.
What followed was a series of flattering remarks.
"Young Master Lin’s girlfriend must be very beautiful."
"She’s average, not exceptionally pretty, but gives off a really good vibe."
Average? So, Young Master Lin likes that kind of style.
Everyone harbored their own motives, but showed great interest in Young Master Lin’s rumored girlfriend. Only one person remained overly silent from start to finish, and that was Huo Boxuan.
He truly hadn’t expected Lin Mubai to have a girlfriend. What about his sister Bing Xuan?
Ever since Aunt Lan hung up the phone a few days ago, Bing Xuan had been crying at home for two days, constantly clamoring that if she couldn’t marry Lin Mubai, she might as well die.
He’s the only sibling she has, of course, he couldn’t let anything happen to her.
Recently, the company’s affairs combined with his sister’s issues have left him utterly exhausted.
When he looked again towards the center of the gathering, his gaze held a mix of complex emotions. What should he do? Lin Mubai really had a girlfriend; what should he do for his sister, can he bear to watch her die?
No, he couldn’t let such a thing happen.
As his gaze lowered again, a hint of menace appeared.
If direct plans didn’t work, he wouldn’t mind resorting to some underhanded tactics. As long as his sister marries into the Lin Family, for the sake of their reputation, the Lin Family would certainly not pursue the Huo Family. If necessary, they might even lend the Huo Family a helping hand.
Watching everyone’s excited discussions, there was another person who was also quite silent from start to finish – Han Xiayang, who sat beside Huo Boxuan. Naturally, he noticed the emotional shifts in the person beside him throughout the event and mentally grew wary.
On the other hand, as he felt happy for his good friend, he was equally elated thinking if Young Master Lin succeeded in pursuing his wife, then perhaps he should return to the company. He could then take all his accumulated leave and go on a proper vacation, maybe even have a fling.
Mostly, he felt stifled, knowing about all these things yet unable to speak them aloud, which is all the more painful.
Suddenly his gaze fixated on Young Master Lin’s neck, and he wasn’t the only one acting this way; Xi Shaoqi was similarly stunned while staring at Young Master Lin’s neck, exclaiming after a long pause, "Oh my, let me see, let me see what’s this? What’s this?"
Saying that, he joined Han Xiayang to approach, one on the left and one on the right, attempting to lift Lin Mubai’s collar.
The latter didn’t stop them, instead just stood there smilingly letting them fool around. The rıghtful source is N()velFire.net
When everyone saw the mark on Young Master Lin’s neck clearly, they each shared a knowing smile.
