A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 105

"Eat."

Linda's lips were slightly twitching as she didn't know what to say. She could only took a deep sigh and then shook her head, "Fine. But only because I'm in good mood today."

Charles Mu smoothly put a smile on his handsome face, "That's my wife."

Seeing the intimacy between them two, Brian Ho immediately jumped to his feet and ran away from the table while muttering, "Damn it... I can't stand it any longer. Showing off in my face? Just wait for me to find a wife and show off in front of you two for a change!"

Linda chose to ignore Brian's groans and moans and simply sat still, waiting for Charles Mu to shell the prawns and feed her.

After they had done eating, Charles Mu put his hands gently around Linda's waist to hold her in his arms, and then they lay down together on the lawn and looked up at the starry night sky.

"Honey, here's a thing. I'm afraid Bun couldn't stay around to protect you for a while. So I'll leave Paul to you, " said Charles Mu.

Linda was surprised, "What? What's wrong? Is Bun leaving us?"

"Not exactly, just for a few days. It's the annual military drill of the police training school. Bun trains the new recruits as a drillmaster every year. It'll take about seven days, I think."

"I see." Linda nodded and then said, "You don't have to keep me protected. I don't think it could be dangerous anyway."

"Alright, it's OK if you don't want Paul around. All the trainings are in the morning, so Bun will be home by afternoon. Just wait for Bun if you need to go out, otherwise I'll be worried."

Linda had been kidnapped once, and that's why Charles Mu left Bun to protect Linda.

Linda was once kidnapped by Walker Chen because he hated Linda for ruining his life.

And Walker Chen was not even Charles Mu's business rivals but simply a nobody.

He was hardly a threat, for he could tracked Walker Chen down whenever he wanted.

But even so, Charles Mu was scared horribly and came to Linda's rescue himself.

He wouldn't dare imagine what could have happened if he was too late to save her.

That's the main reason why Charles Mu gave Linda that dragon ring right after he took her back, even though it was supposed to be a engagement gift.

Linda knew Charles Mu only send someone to protect her because he care about her. So she said nothing more but kissed him on his cheek, and then she looked at him with her watery eyes and a gentle smile, "I know you are being good to me. Thank you."

Charles Mu then took Linda's little hands and rolled over on top of her to pin her down. His voice sounded rather low and hoarse, "Is that enough?"

Linda suddenly blushed. She hurried to look around and make sure no one was around. They were lying on the garden lawn, where servants came and went every now and then. And clearly she had no interest to be seen and judged by them.

"Get off me! ! It's in the garden!"

"I don't care. Just tell me whether a simple 'Thank you' is enough."

"Then what do you want? You asshole! Are you looking for trouble?" Part of Linda was pissed by his acting like a spoiled boy, but somehow she also felt like laughing out.

"Yes, I certainly am. Will you do me the hornor of being my trouble?"

Charles Mu's eyes darkened as he spoke, and then he carried Linda up and strode back to their room.

And he didn't forget to shut the door to make sure that no one would spoil their intimate moment alone.

Linda had been quite cozy lately. She spent most of her time at home reviewing chemistry textbooks and watching online lessons in order to prepare herself as a qualified high school teacher.

Linda woke up in the morning when the sun softly shone over the bedroom. She rubbed her eyes and reached for the other side of the bed, and as expected, Charles Mu had already gone.

But Linda was getting familiar with his pattern. He usually left early for company on Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning. And on Tuesday and Thursday, he would stayed with her until she woke up naturally.

Linda knew Charles Mu had to deal with lots of meetings everyday morning. And she also knew Charles Mu cared about her and didn't want her to feel left behind, so that's why he put aside his work and spent two mornings a week to stay with her.

Though Linda only knew these things from Paul by accident, she felt really touched.

The staff in the Mu company was aware of his missing every other morning, and they had been discussing why Charles Mu never showed up until afternoon on Tuesday and Thursday.

Gossip always travelled fast, especially when the women comprised the majority of the staff. There were all kinds of rumors, including that Mr. Mu was late for work because he wanted to spend more time with his wife.

Gossiping about their bosses was always the biggest fun in the office. And in that case, Charles Mu was obviously the one they were all talking about. But they learnt from previous lessons to keep it very discreet and low-profile this time. After all, no one wanted to lose their job for it.

Linda sat up and said, "Bun, I'm hungry."

After three gentle knocks on the door, a maid came in, "My Lady, are you up? Bun is not here today. Breakfast is ready downstairs, may I help you change?"

Linda felt a little bit disappointed. She just remembered it was the first day that Bun went to train the new recruits, and so she should be long gone now.

Linda then waved her hand at the maid, "I'm fine. You can leave. I'll go downstairs later."

Linda was still not used to being attended by others. Bun, however, was different from other maids. Linda had been taking Bun as her own sister, and so she could totally feel free to be herself with Bun.

Linda cleaned up and dressed alone, and then went downstairs for breakfast. Afterwards, she took a walk in the garden to help digestion and then went back to her room to keep on studying chemistry books.

It was about noon when a servant came to inform her, "My Lady, Young Master Brian Ho is here."

Linda laid down her books as she heard the news. Then she thought Brian Ho was probably here for Charles Mu. However, Charles Mu was not home at the moment.

Linda was just about to tell the servant to dismiss Brian Ho when she heard his uninhibited voice.

"Hey, Linda. You seem to be in good mood. Are you a big fan of books?"

Linda glanced at him and then said calmly, "They're just textbooks. Are you here for Charles Mu? He's in the company, not here. You can come back later in the afternoon or go straightly to his office."

Brian Ho's lips were curled into a wicked smile. He then reached out a finger and shook it in front of Linda, "I'm not here for him. Actually I'm here for Bun. Where is Bun?"

"What? Bun? Why are you looking for her?"

Could it be that he took her earlier jokes seriously? The last thing Linda wanted was to see Bun got hurt. So her guard was up as soon as she realized what he might be up to.

"Linda, I really mean it when I said I'm into Bun. Can you at least give me a shot? You see, I'm turning over a new leaf. I'm not who I used to be anymore. You know what? I just want to marry someone and have my own family, and hopefully please my father in the same time."
