Chapter 171 - 171 Rejected
171 Rejected
Mu Ran took the small note from Lin Yin’s hand and unfolded it. She finally understood what Lin Yin meant. This girl was rejecting his confession, but when had he ever confessed to Lin Yin?
“Where did you get this note?”
Lin Yin noticed that Mu Ran was in a bad mood and realized that there might be a misunderstanding.
“It’s in the drawer where you keep the amulet.” Lin Yin noticed that Mu Ran’s expression suddenly turned ugly.
“It’s my second brother…” Mu Ran gritted his teeth in anger. “I already told him to not do anything unnecessary.”
Mu Ran sighed and explained to Lin Yin, “My second brother should have written this. I didn’t know there was a note in the drawer.”
Lin Yin nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Wait.” Mu Ran suddenly reacted to Lin Yin’s previous actions and asked unhappily, “Little Yin, you thought that I’m confessing to you and you’re so anxious to reject me?”
Although Mu Ran had no intention of confessing to Lin Yin, he was still a little unhappy to be rejected so decisively by Lin Yin.
“Isn’t this a misunderstanding?” Lin Yin smiled awkwardly and saw Mu Ran lower his head thoughtfully.
“However, you still rejected me directly. Am I that bad?”
Mu Ran had always been the object of everyone’s pursuit. He had always been the one rejecting others. This was the first time he had been rejected so directly.
“No, Brother Mu Ran. I just don’t think we’re compatible. I don’t think you’re bad. You’re really outstanding. You’re almost perfect.”
Lin Yin felt that she had a good relationship with Mu Ran, but the way the two of them interacted was more like family or friends. There was no ambiguous feeling at all.
Hearing Lin Yin’s praise for her, Mu Ran’s mood improved a little. On second thought, he asked Lin Yin, “If Lu Ming confessed to you, would you reject him like this?”
Lin Yin suddenly thought of Lu Ming and her mind was in a mess. Would Lu Ming confess to her too? Lin Yin did not think that Lu Ming would confess to her. Even if it was a confession, he would not use such a childish method as writing a note.
Mu Ran noticed Lin Yin’s hesitation and couldn’t help but raise her voice. “Little Yin, no way? You like that old man Lu Ming too?”
When Lin Yin heard what Mu Ran called Lu Ming, she couldn’t help but laugh. Previously, Lu Ming would be unhappy when she called him Uncle. If he heard Mu Ran call him an old man, wouldn’t he explode with anger?
“Oh no…” Mu Ran’s heart turned cold when he saw Lin Yin suddenly smile foolishly. It seemed that this girl really treated Lu Ming differently.
“Alright, Brother Mu Ran, go and film. The director is looking for you.” Lin Yin pushed the devastated Mu Ran out. Seeing him leave in a daze, the smile on her face widened.
“Fortunately, Brother Mu Ran doesn’t like me. Otherwise, I don’t know how I’ll face him in the future,” Lin Yin muttered softly. She noticed Lan Xin, who had entered the set with Mu Ran, and the corners of her lips curled up.
“The two of them look compatible. If only Brother Mu Ran could notice Sister Lan Xin.”
Lin Yin had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she stayed at the filming location to watch Mu Ran and Lan Xin film. Wen Ying did not have many scenes, but she looked much more honest than before.
The filming went very smoothly. Mu Ran and Lan Xin also had a tacit understanding. Lin Yin was watching with relish when she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder.
“Uncle?”
“What did you call me?” Lu Ming pinched Lin Yin’s cheek gently and deliberately blamed her. “Didn’t I teach you? Call me Brother.”
Lin Yin looked up and Lu Ming lowered his body. The two of them were a little close. Lin Yin tugged at the corner of her shirt nervously and called out softly, “Brother Lu Ming.”
Lu Ming chuckled and heard the director shout behind him, “Mu Ran, don’t watch the show here.”
Lin Yin looked past Lu Ming and saw Mu Ran staring at her and Lu Ming sadly not far away. She was shocked.
For some reason, she felt like she had been caught in a puppy love relationship by her parents. She hid behind Lu Ming and did not dare to look at Mu Ran.
“What are you afraid of?” Lu Ming turned around and looked at Mu Ran provocatively. If he hadn’t heard Lu Yan mention it, he wouldn’t have known that Mu Ran had tricked Lin Yin to the filming location. Fortunately, he discovered it in time.
Mu Ran saw Lu Ming’s gaze and his mood worsened. He said to the director, “I’m sorry, Director. I need to rest.”
The director quickly stopped filming. After all, Mu Ran did not have many such requests, so he asked everyone to rest and adjust.
Mu Ran walked quickly to Lu Ming and asked in an unfriendly tone, “Why are you here?”
