Chapter 212

It's a pity, I can't see anything.

I only see a limited-edition car that he couldn't order even if he wanted to.

Lin Xu has been hearing the name Qiao Muting a lot lately; their family company is currently facing a huge crisis, and it is said that if Qiao Muting would just help a little or drop a hint, they could be saved.

"You're not surprised to see Qiao Muting, are you? This Hot Spring Villa is a Qiao family property; it's perfectly normal for him to come over and hang out occasionally," one of them said.

"Can we follow him?" Lin Xu asked.

One of his friends looked as if they had heard something unbelievable, "Are you crazy? Do you know who he is? He is Qiao Muting! If you dare to stalk him, do you not want to survive in Jing City anymore?"

Lin Xu sobered up, feeling a chill down his back in hindsight, "I was joking."

"Don't make jokes like that."

"I heard your family company is in trouble. Are you thinking of finding Qiao Muting to let him help you get through this difficulty? If you listen to advice, I'd advise you not to have such thoughts. Your family has no relation to Qiao Muting, so why would he help you? If you accidentally offend him, your family might have been able to turn things around, but end up unable to; in Jing City, don't provoke anyone, especially not Qiao Muting."

Lin Xu completely gave up, not daring to have any more thoughts of finding Qiao Muting to talk.

After listening to his friend, he suddenly remembered something: could it be that the Qiao family isn't cooperating with their company because of Lin Miao wanting to get close to Qiao Muting before?

No, that can't be it.

Miaomiao is so smart, beautiful, gentle, and understanding; Qiao Muting would only like her, not dislike her.

When Shu Xia got out of the car, she scanned her surroundings.

The scenery is truly beautiful.

It's not much different from Grandpa Qin's manor.

The last time she came was at night, so she didn't see the surroundings very clearly; she only soaked in the hot spring and didn't walk around.

"I want to go for a walk first, do you want to come?" she asked Qiao Muting.

"Together." Qiao Muting closed the car door casually.

He pointed ahead, "You can go for a walk down that way, and it's not far to go play golf. Do you want to play?"

"Sure, but I don't know how to play." Shu Xia was very interested.

She can climb mountains and go into the sea, but she doesn't know golf.

"I'll teach you."

The walking path was very quiet, with no one around, and both sides were lined with small woods with good landscaping.

When tired from walking, there were pavilions and small chairs where one could sit and rest at any time.

After walking a short distance, Qiao Muting naturally took Shu Xia's hand.

At first, Shu Xia didn't react, her whole person quietly blending into the scenery.

It wasn't until she wanted to raise her hand to smooth out her hair that she noticed the man's hand wrapped around hers.

His fingers were slender, his skin showing a healthy bronze tone, making her fair hand look like a child's hand in comparison.

Her fingers suddenly stiffened.

"Since we are to be a real married couple, we should adapt to each other now." Qiao Muting's tone was normal, as if he were saying something perfectly natural; her hand felt boneless, soft and supple.

Adapt to each other...

Shu Xia nodded earnestly, letting herself relax, "Okay."

Thinking about adapting to being a real married couple with Qiao Muting, at this moment, with the gentle breeze brushing her face, she suddenly calmed down.

That...

She remembered, just now in the car, he had asked her if she knew what it meant for the two of them to come to the Hot Spring Villa together.

At that time, she and Jiang Nannan had just finished their call, and she had decided on a major life event while eating hot pot; she had been in a daze the whole time, not thinking carefully about his words, and had casually said she knew.

She knew what one does at a Hot Spring Villa; isn't it just relaxing in the hot springs?

But!

To be a real married couple means doing that, and that...
