Chapter 32 – Autistic Young Master VS Ruthless Boss (7)
Watching the man across from her remain silent as he looked at her, Mu Yaqin continued, “To be honest, Xiao Jin was kidnapped when he was a child, which is why he has become like this now.”
“You see, I’m very busy with work, and there are times when I can’t take care of Xiao Jin. He also strongly rejects strangers, and I’m always worried when he’s alone at home on regular days.”
“But Mr. Leng, you’re different. You’re skilled, have good cooking skills, and Xiao Jin is very close to you. Speaking of which, you even saved him before. So, if you could stay by his side to protect him, that would be great!”
‘Kidnapped?’ Leng Xiao fell into silence for a while after hearing Mu Yaqin’s words, ultimately succumbing to the eager, expectant gaze from Mu Jin beside him.
Thinking that he needed to expose those who had attacked him, seeking revenge, staying in H country for a while seemed beneficial.
With a self-justified reason in mind, Leng Xiao nodded in agreement. He casually mentioned a not-so-low price, although compared to the income from hiring a mercenary group, it was practically a giveaway.
The Mu family still had some influence, and spending a little more money to ensure proper care for her younger brother made Mu Yaqin think it was worthwhile. She readily agreed.
Seeing this, Mu Jin’s eyes sparkled as he looked towards his sister. He couldn’t help but think that she was a great ally and wanted to give her a thumbs up.
So, Leng Xiao smoothly stayed at the Mu family’s residence.
Late at night, after the world had grown quiet, Leng Xiao’s personal communicator lit up.
Pressing the connect button, an anxious voice immediately came from the other side, loudly exclaiming, “Boss, where did you go last night? We couldn’t reach you at all! Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. How about you and Lao Wu?” Leng Xiao replied coldly.
Yan Ze on the other side responded, “We’re both fine, Boss. As long as you’re okay, we can rest assured! We sent the information back yesterday. It’s been investigated; the ones who ambushed us were hired by the Leng family. Boss, these people clearly have malicious intentions in making you come to H country!”
A coldness flashed in Leng Xiao’s eyes upon hearing this. He nonchalantly said, “Hmm.”
Thinking about it, he had no interest in the Leng family. From his perspective, being the heir of a wealthy family was less enjoyable than engaging in combat and slaughter during missions.
However, considering the current task and the dying captain’s instructions, he decided to visit and settle things from his past. Unexpectedly, right after arriving in this city, he was ambushed.
Evidently, the intention was to put him in a life-threatening situation. The elite attackers from the previous night had made that clear.
With only Yan Ze and Lao Wu accompanying him, after being surrounded and scattered, he was injured. This completely angered Leng Xiao.
While he didn’t care about the family legacy, someone overtly trying to harm him meant that he wouldn’t let these people off easily.
If someone dared to provoke him, they should be prepared to bear the consequences. It seemed that the Leng family no longer had a reason to exist.
Thinking this, Leng Xiao’s aura became increasingly dangerous. However, as he turned his attention to the corner of the pillow where a small teddy bear handkerchief peeked out, he suddenly paused.
Gradually calming his killing intent, Leng Xiao suddenly felt that perhaps the title of the head of the Leng family wasn’t so bad.
On the other side, Mu Jin, who had learned about his lover’s background through 003, was somewhat surprised. He hadn’t expected his beloved to have such a hidden identity in this lifetime.
Considering the fame of the Leng family in H country, which was quite renowned, Mu Jin was taken aback. After all, only a few families could be considered top-tier, and the Leng family was on par with the Xie family in terms of wealth.
Reflecting on the original storyline where the Leng family seemingly fell overnight, it was very likely due to his lover’s actions.
Knowing that his strength was unnecessary for his assistance, Mu Jin was at ease, focusing on his ongoing network business.
The code he released last night sold well, bringing in a considerable income. However, for Mu Jin, making money was secondary; the most important thing was to attract attention to his cause using these funds.
Sure enough, someone had contacted him through the private email he didn’t leave behind.
This was actually a kind of showcasing skill, as truly powerful individuals tend to be proud. To make them truly acknowledge him, he naturally had to demonstrate some real skills.
So, Mu Jin and Leng Xiao were both secretly and methodically busy.
Of course, for Mu Jin, one essential aspect of daily life was still the art of seduction.
After all, his man in this life was a dangerous individual. Without the childhood sweetheart relationship from the previous life, he had to find something more attractive to him than fighting and killing. Such as living a happy life together.
-One month later-
In the evening, Mu Yaqin returned home as usual. Seeing empty plates on the table with no leftovers, she walked over to ruffle Mu Jin’s hair.
However, just as she was about to touch Mu Jin’s head, she felt a chill down her spine. The female lead instinctively sensed danger and subconsciously withdrew her hand.
This kind of situation had been happening frequently lately. She even began to suspect whether it was because of the exhausting work, making her nerves sensitive.
For a month now, all three meals of the day for Mu Jin had been taken care of by Leng Xiao. Although she had packed dinner from the company cafeteria, this man surprisingly handled all meals for them.
But, there was one thing: this man only cooked for him and Mu Jin, not leaving anything for Mu Yaqin. Also, was this man really just a bodyguard? Why did it seem like his cooking skills were getting better lately?
A few times when she came home and they hadn’t finished their meal, Mu Yaqin couldn’t help but drool at the delicious dishes on the table. However, no matter how she hinted, the man across from her never showed any intention of inviting her to join them.
In the end, Mu Yaqin could only continue to rely on her own cooking skills and the company cafeteria for sustenance.
But fortunately, her younger brother’s health was indeed improving. He became visibly stronger, his little face rounded, appearing cuter than before.
Most importantly, with Leng Xiao around, the female lead noticed that Mu Jin’s temperament seemed to be more cheerful than before. She even occasionally saw a genuine smile on his face.
This made Mu Yaqin feel very gratified. She couldn’t help but think that keeping Leng Xiao around was one of the best decisions she had ever made.
Watching the man carefully wipe the oil stains off Mu Jin’s mouth with a handkerchief, the two men, one small and cute, and the other tall and stern, who seemed completely mismatched, surprisingly appeared harmonious together.
Although such intimate actions were somewhat commonplace, Mu Yaqin still felt that something was off. However, she couldn’t pinpoint what exactly felt wrong.
Holding their rounded stomachs after the meal, Mu Jin looked apologetically at his sister. He hadn’t expected his lover to be so childish in this lifetime.
The meals he prepared were always just enough for the two of them. Whenever he thought of sharing with his sister, the man across from him would use a terrifying gaze to stare at him. This made Mu Jin have to bravely ignore his sister’s pitiful looks.
Moreover, the man was very territorial. Even if his sister wanted to touch his forehead or hug him, the man would emit a cold aura without fail.
For his own happiness, Mu Jin could only apologize to his sister in his heart. Fortunately, Mu Yaqin seemed to be completely unconcerned, as her daily work kept her busy.
Seeing Mu Jin doing well, Mu Yaqin went back to her room to continue her unfinished work.
Meanwhile, Mu Jin obediently followed Leng Xiao to the backyard garden.
After every meal, the two would take a walk in the garden to aid digestion, and today was no exception.
The sky had already darkened, but the sunset still painted a beautiful scene.
Mu Jin reached out, gently stroking the blooming and vibrant flowers. The man beside him naturally embraced him tightly from behind, enveloping him entirely.
“Xiao Jin, my baby…” Leng Xiao whispered, kissing Mu Jin’s cheek.
Leng Xiao had long understood his feelings. Every time his heartstrings were plucked, he finally knew why he couldn’t help but act strangely in front of Mu Jin.
Why he couldn’t control his heartbeat, why he wanted to see this person at all times.
If his previous thirty years of life were monochrome, then this little guy was the only bright color, making him unable to resist wanting to possess it.
He knew that he was not a good person. So, he couldn’t just protect.
Not forcing himself upon Mu Jin was his biggest compromise, but the result must be what he desired, no matter the cost.
Perhaps the little guy in his arms didn’t understand the significance of these intimate actions yet. However, he would make him accustomed to all of this.
Mu Jin was someone so delicate and in need of protection, and in this world, besides himself, who else could better protect him? Therefore, this person should belong to him.
Gently kissing Mu Jin’s forehead, the man’s eyes gradually deepened. Holding his hand and rubbing it gently, while softly rubbing against the softness of his hair with his chin, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: this person must belong to him, forever.
