<h4>Chapter 196: Chapter 187: Indoors</h4><h4></h4>


    Uh, isn’t it just holding a small hand? What’s there to shy away from? Didn’t you already see everythingst night? Fake modesty!


    Seeing Lin Mu’s baffled expression, Sophie realized she might have been too impulsive and a bit over the top.


    "Uh, Lin Mu, I’m a bit tired. I need to rest. If you don’t have anything important, you should go rest too." Sophie’s tone softened considerably.


    "Alright, you rest. I’m heading back too."


    Originally, Lin Mu had mustered all his courage to confess to the beautiful CEO. Unexpectedly, his enthusiasm met with a cold shoulder, and he had to reluctantly retreat, saying goodbye to Sophie before leaving Yunhai Mansion to go back to his little abode and sleep in.


    The door at home was open as if someone was there, but Lin Mu called out for a while, and no one answered.


    "Damn, they really don’t give me any face!"


    Lin Mu muttered under his breath, and he could only open the door with his key, calling out as he walked in,


    "Big star, little cop, little girl, is anyone home?"


    No one responded. Maybe they’re sleeping in the rooms! Ah, never mind, it’s so hot. The climate here in the Pearl River Delta, the sun’s always in the north during the day, hotter than North Africa,


    Sweat dripped all over Lin Mu, so he took off his clothes and threw them on the rack, wearing only boxer shorts and slippers, as he headed towards the bathroom, nning to have a nice cool bath andter visit the Han Family to probe around. Well, also to check out those so-called Super Hunters!


    Humming a nonsensical tune filled with risqué lyrics, Lin Mu sang, "Little sister sits by the bed, big brother rolls all over you, our feelings, our love, swaying on the little bed, oh...oh..."


    Just as he reached the climax of his song, he arrived at the bathroom door, pushed it open forcefully, and stood frozen, wide-eyed!


    "What the hell is this situation?"


    Lin Mu stood at the doorway and saw a woman lying in the bathtub. Yep, that woman was none other than the little cop Qi Manlin, lying there with a face full of enjoyment, eyes closed as if asleep, while ayer of white foam on the water subtly covered her alluring body, leaving only her fair, tender shoulders exposed.


    "Bastard...get out, get out!"


    Qi Manlin shouted at the top of her lungs, furious to the extreme.


    "Hehe, sorry, sorry, I didn’t know you were in here."


    Lin Mu awkwardly scratched his head and then dashed out, closing the door behind him.


    After exiting the bathroom, Lin Mu casually closed the door, just as Qi Manlin in the bathtub was about to get up to get dressed, only to have the door open again.


    "Ah...pervert..."


    Reflexively, Qi Manlin screamed, quickly pulling herself back into the bathtub.


    "Hehe, let me exin, I really didn’t mean to..." Lin Mu’s body was outside while his head peeked inside as he tried to exin.


    "Get out, get the hell out!" Qi Manlin roared, then picked up the nearby bottles and threw them all at him.


    "Ouch, damn it!"


    Lin Mu shivered, quickly pulled his head back out, and promptly shut the door.


    "Damn, this chick is wild! Whoever marries her in the future is doomed! This bad temper is just too fierce, always wanting to hit people!"


    A few minutester, Qi Manlin walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, her ample assets tightly wrapped in the towel, her hair still dripping wet, looking like a sexy water lily.


    Although Lin Mu knew she probably wanted to devour him at the moment, he felt no malice towards her. After all, he was at fault for barging into the wrong bathroom.


    "Hehe...sorry..."


    Lin Mu had changed back into his clothes and was sitting on the sofa, giving Qi Manlin an apologetic smile, hoping to smooth things over.


    Half embarrassed, half angry, Qi Manlin’s face turned as red as an apple, making Lin Mu want to bite it to see how it tasted.


    Qi Manlin red at Lin Mu, saying nothing, but from her eyes, Lin Mu could see a burning rage, eager to incinerate him.


    Lin Mu grinned at Qi Manlin’s expression, feeling like he was sitting on a hot furnace, having difficulty staying seated, fearing she’d indeed chop him up like a chicken!


    "Hehe, I’ll be off to take a shower now, you take a rest!"


    With an awkward grin, Lin Mu got up from the sofa and headed to the bathroom.
