Chapter 1277 - 1292: Man Luo Feels Wronged
After a long time, Man Luo's sobbing gradually ceased."Sister, it's my fault for letting you suffer so much. From now on, I promise, I'll never let you be wronged again." Lin Mu patted Man Luo's back and said.
"Brother Lin, I thought I would never see you again." Man Luo said softly. At the moment she was about to jump into the river, she suddenly missed Lin Mu so much and regretted leaving him.
"How could that be? From now on, I'll make sure you see me every day." Lin Mu smiled and said.
Man Luo straightened up, "Brother Lin, I've really missed you so much all this time, missed you so much."
Looking at Man Luo, Lin Mu also had an indescribable feeling in his heart, very beautiful. It seemed that Man Luo had changed a lot after this incident, especially in her personality, she had changed a lot, no longer so cold.
Thinking about the first time he met Man Luo, and looking at her now, she had changed so much.
"Me too, I've always been worried about you, and finally, I get to see you." Lin Mu smiled and wiped the tears from Man Luo's cheeks.
"Let's sit down first." Man Luo said.
The two sat down together.
"Where are Qing'Er and the others?" Lin Mu asked, since he hadn't seen Qing'Er and Man Luo's other female subordinates since his arrival. They should have been there to take care of Man Luo.
At this mention, tears welled up in Man Luo's eyes again.
"They were all killed by Jinye's men while trying to save me. In the end, Qing'Er was shot and killed by Uro Iji while protecting me. They all died for me, and I feel I owe them."
"They were all your loyal subordinates." Lin Mu patted Man Luo's shoulder and said.
Man Luo leaned on Lin Mu's shoulder, "They were indeed my dear sisters."
"Mm, don't worry, since they can't take care of you anymore, I'll take good care of you and protect you." Lin Mu said.
"Really?"
"Of course, it's true." Lin Mu smiled.
"Brother Lin, I have so much to say to you."
"All right, I'll stay with you all night." Lin Mu smiled and then asked, "How's your injury?"
"Almost healed, I suppose." Man Luo nodded.
Man Luo slowly drifted into sleep, so by the time she woke up the next day, it was already past ten in the morning.
"Sister, why don't you come back to Wancheng with me?" Lin Mu said after getting up.
"Mm," Man Luo nodded. At this point, there was nothing left to hold her to Xiang Island. Even though she could live independently, after all, she was a woman, and even the strongest woman needs a man's shoulder to lean on.
After Lin Mu and Man Luo finished breakfast, they completed the discharge procedures. Of course, Lin Mu was extremely thankful to Zhou Runze, as he had been handling all the arrangements. So at noon, Lin Mu was the host, planning to have a good drink with Zhou Runze to express his gratitude.
Of course, Zhou Runze wanted to invite Lin Mu in return since he was the host in Xiang Island, eager to fulfill his duty of hospitality. However, Lin Mu refused. This time was to thank him, with the next occasion allowing Zhou Runze to treat him. After all, spending some money on meals was nothing but a sprinkle for two wealthy individuals.
Zhou Runze didn't refuse further; if he did, it would seem insincere, so he nodded and agreed. So, at noon, Lin Mu, Caini, Guo Meimei, Man Luo, and Zhou Runze went to the most luxurious Xiangjiang Hotel on Xiang Island and booked a luxury private room.
Lin Mu ordered a table full of dishes, with delights from the sky, earth, and sea all present. He initially worried there might be a rift between Caini and Man Luo, but it seemed his concerns were unfounded. The two chatted amicably all the way, continuously engaged in conversation.
Including Caini recounting how amazing Lin Mu was, which sounded ordinary to Man Luo since, having been part of the underworld, she knew of Lin Mu's formidable reputation. Different people have different perspectives.
Seeing the two ladies happily chatting, Lin Mu was quite relieved, and so the two beauties, one on the left and one on the right, cooperated splendidly by linking arms with Lin Mu.
Both of the girls were exceptional beauties, and Lin Mu felt immensely proud and honored.
"Come, Boss Zhou, let me toast you. I won't say more words of gratitude. You saved Man Luo's life, and I sincerely thank you. Let's drink up this glass." Lin Mu stood up and raised his glass of white wine.
"Alright, so straightforward. I love drinking with straightforward people." Zhou Runze laughed heartily, clinking his glass with Lin Mu's.
Then, Lin Mu and Zhou Runze each tilted their heads and downed their glasses of white wine in one go.
Having frequented the drinking scenes, Zhou Runze had quite an impressive capacity, and Lin Mu even more so, practically a bottomless barrel for alcohol.
"Haha, satisfying indeed." Zhou Runze laughed heartily.
"Drinking with you, brother, is also very satisfying." Lin Mu laughed heartily.
The saying goes that it's never too much to drink with a confidant. Lin Mu found a real connection with Zhou Runze, perhaps due to never having had the chance to drink together before. Now they sat together and seriously shared a drink, already becoming good drinking buddies.
"Haha, brother, your drinking capacity is amazing. I can hardly keep up." Lin Mu took a sip of wine, his face already flushed like a monkey's butt, and so was Zhou Runze's — drinking till one's face turned red was a rarity for Lin Mu.
Whether Lin Mu drank depended on the person. With friends who shared the same interests and could chat well, he drank much more. On average, he'd feel tipsy after two pounds, but with good company, he'd be clear-headed even after three pounds. And at this point, Lin Mu and Zhou Runze had already drunk four pounds of white wine.
And of course, that wasn't enough — with enjoyment comes a desire to drink more pleasurably.
Lin Mu and Zhou Runze kept drinking while the three ladies chatted, each minding their own business, with men and their affairs.
So by the end, both Lin Mu and Zhou Runze were thoroughly drunk.
