Chapter 439: What Else Could There Be Between Men And Women?
In truth, Lin Mu’an knew very well that Lu Qianqian did not have the spoiled nature of a rich daughter, and he was merely joking.
As they sat and chat at the canteen, Lin Mu’an roommates arrived.
“So is this our sis-in-law?”
“Really? Someone so pretty?”
“No wonder you were distracted… she’s here and you’re not introducing her to us!”
As they competed to mess around, Lu Qianqian did not have the time to explain things when Lin Mu’an smiled and let it passed.
“Sist-in-law, you should come by our school more or often. Otherwise, if everyone else didn’t know that our Handsome Lin here is spoken for, those rotten chicks would come at him one after another.”
“He’s not keeping his hands to himself at school, huh?” Lu Qianqian simply followed along with their conversation, and continued teasing Lin Mu’an as well.
“Actually, he is one of the rare few straight and honest persons here. Aside from training, he would only make clay people. Are those for you?”
Lu Qianqian stayed quiet for moments and nodded.
“Will you look at that. What a loyal pooch.”
“Well, I hope you guys could keep an eye on him from now on. I’ll treat you to these snacks.”
When the boys saw the imported snacks, their gluttonous faces showed at once.
“Don’t worry, Sis-in-law. You can count on us.”
“Didn’t you buy that for me?” Lin Mu’an could not help complaining—it was rare for the little pepper to buy him that stuff, and these people are trampling all over the good stuff.
“Bro Lin, Sis-in-law is building good relations here. You won’t get it.”
Lin Mu’an promptly gave that boy a slap on the head. “I’ll walk you out after eating, little people. The rest of you save some for me.”
The happiest time in life was certainly one’s youthful days in school.
Now that Lu Qianqian was being trained every day, she certainly had not felt so relaxed for so long.
Just as they chatted away over their meal, the girl who was bent on claiming Lin Mu’an squeezed her way in with her own food tray. “Mind if I sit here?’
“Sure, sure. Then, Bro Lin, Sis-in-law, you should change tables—it’s quite noisy here.” One of Lin Mu’an roommates helped him out of the danger. “Come more often, Sis-in-law. You’re so pretty and feminine, it would always be nice to see you.”
Lu Qianqian smiled, but studied the other girl too.
That fearless nature was a big problem for Lin Mu’an.
However, Lin Mu’an knew his way around the women very well, which makes that complicated.
It was after they moved to another table that Lu Qianqian asked, “That’s the girl? The one who made you question your existence?”
“I’ve asked the Crown Prince to check, and there’s every chance Grandfather arranged for her to attend this academy.” Lin Mu’an explained. “I don’t hope that I have to resist my grandfather even in my simple, perfect life in the police academy. I hate the fact that I’m a member of the Lin family so much right now.
“That grandfather of mine really uses every opportunity he gets.”
“Just stick to being yourself. You just need to know that I’m your best friend and whatever happens, I would shoulder it with you.” Lu Qianqian assured Lin Mu’an, because she knew that he was very disheartened.”
“You’re right. I’ll be myself—I should preserve my ambition no matter how poor I am, and bend to no might.” Lin Mu’an muttered.
“Silly, just give me a call when you need me. If that doesn’t help, you could go straight to the Crown Prince or Mu Qiqi, and you know how awesome he is right now.”
Lin Mu’an pinched her on the nose and smiled. “I know what to do.”
“Okay, then I’m going home. There’s a gathering at the family tonight.”
Lin Mu’an nodded and got up from the table, even taking the broken mud doll out of his pocket. “Here. Although it’s not even a complete corpse.”
Still, that was precious enough an object for Lu Qianqian.
“Alright, you don’t have to walk me. My car is right outside.”
Lin Mu’an waved at Lu Qianqian, who smiled as she walked out of the academy gates. However, she did not expect that the transfer student was waiting for her outside.
“Miss Lu.”
Lu Qianqian turned in suspicion toward her.
“And here I thought you would have no contact with Lin Mu’an, but you actually are still in touch. How brazen… don’t you worry that you would embarrass Lin Mu’an if your scandal was found out?”
At those words, Lu Qianqian closed the car door she just opened and retorted, “Do you know why he would hang around with me?”
“Because you’re easy. Isn’t that all there is between men and women?”
“I’m relieved if you really think that, because you would never take him from me.” Lu Qianqian smiled. “No matter how rich or powerful your family is, I could at least at least be sure that someone like you would never be to change Mu’an.”
“Aren’t you worried that Lin Mu’an’s grandfather would hear that?”
“If he doesn’t like me whether he hears it, why should I put on a mask? On the other, don’t you know that Mu’an has already found out everything about you?” Lu Qianqian mocked and open her car door once again.
Old Lin was certainly disgusting, but as long as Lin Mu’an was staunch in his will, no one could change him.
As for this girl who attacks others with their private matters, how was she any better?
She was no different from Old Lin.
Lu Qianqian was convinced Lin Mu’an would never be seduced—or at least by a girl like this.
However, she did not know that this was the girl’s move.
She would present herself as overbearing on her first approach at Lin Mu’an so that he would feel disgusted, and act as if she was slowly changing and repenting to fool Lin Mu’an, making him believe she was really making amends.
And since there would be no lack of chance to meet Lu Qianqian, did she have to worry about not getting the chance to insult her and drive a wedge between her and Lin Mu’an?
Men are always easily fooled.
Don’t believe it?
Just watch, then.

Evening at the Sheng’s house.
The Sheng family was not aware that Sheng Xiao had ended his interview at the moment, and had drawn a line in the sand against them.
However, Old Sheng had clearly left the house more than he did before, because there were a lot of people who had made appointments with him.
After all, having regained a good grandson in ‘Sheng Xiao’, the future of the Sheng family would become even brighter.
Still, there were things that did not go as he wished—it depended on whether Sheng Xiao was willing to cooperate.
