I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character
Chapter 104: The Daughter-in-law
Gu Jin had a new understanding of the proud nature of his younger brother. It was easy to poke his helpless and sensitive ego.
After hanging up the phone, the only thing on his mind was the information he remembered about Gu Ling from the original novel. Based on the plot, Gu Ling quietly slipped after Jing Hao. Although nothing major had happened, his repulsive actions caused a rift between the original owner and Cheng Xin.
However, the current Gu Jin had cut off ties completely with Cheng Xin. Whether it was their brotherhood or their partner's lack of loyalty, there was nothing left to destroy. So Gu Jin was not at all worried about Gu Ling's plan.
Now that he was rethinking those things, Gu Jin heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it's over. Playing with the couple is no longer entertaining.
After closing his laptop, Gu Jin turned his head to the side and looked at the box Old Liu had given him.
What mysterious item could be packed inside?
Encouraged by curiosity, he opened the box.
Later then…
The corner of his lips twitched.
20 Inch side box filled with all kinds of lipstick.
After a cursory glance.he felt sorry for the sender.
In silence, Gu Jin took an attached note:
Mu Mingcheng: [Do you like my gift?]
On the other end of the phone, Mu Mingcheng had been waiting until now to send a text message. He estimated that Gu Jin should have woken up by now. She was tired during her stay in country Y, plus she suffered from jet lag on the way here, so she definitely needed a good long sleep.
[I love it. Thank you] Yes, she likes it a lot, but with so many brands and lipstick colors she has, it took years before she used them all.
It was quite surprising that someone as rich and arrogant as President Mu turned out to be generous enough to attach a handwritten note to his prize.
Mu Mingcheng stared at his text message. Why did it feel like there was more meaning behind the simple text he sent her?
On the other hand, the gift was partly due to Mu Mingcheng's selfishness. The person he likes should live a luxurious and beautiful life, rather than taking care of him without being able to do what he wants.
He bent his lips and replied:
[Good. I'm glad you like it.]
As Gu Jin lowered his phone, he accidentally saw his reflection in the mirror; he did not know when it had started but it seemed like he had been unconsciously smiling all along.
His body trembled but he immediately recovered his calm demeanor.
Throughout the day, the relationship between the two flowed naturally as usual.
As it faded into the darkness, a light kiss from that night appeared in his memory like a dream. After dawn, it disappeared without a trace.
Things seem to get more complicated. Gu Jin put down his phone. He wanted to have time to think things through.
Mu Mingcheng waited for a while, but no further messages came from that end.
He was sitting on the sofa in the living room when someone walked in.
Xu Jie carried a plate of strawberries and was about to chat with her son who looked engrossed with his phone. As soon as he sat down, Mu Mingcheng stood up and had someone prepare his car to leave. “Mingcheng, it's getting dark. Where are you headed?”
“I'll pick up your daughter-in-law.” Mu Mingcheng's voice was light. “I may not come back later.”
Xu Jie, who paused for a moment, remembered that her son's assistant told her beforehand that she was going to send a gift to their daughter-in-law.
Did the emotionless stone of their family finally meet its spring? He did not know which beautiful daughter had the ability to win his son's heart.
With the influential standing of the Mu family, their children could not marry just anyone right now, and Mu Mingcheng should not be harmed by others. She had to discuss with her husband about meeting their future daughter-in-law.
