Lin Mushu stared at Lin Haochen’s perfectly sculpted physique, and her face instantly turned as red as an apple.
She quickly clapped her hands over her eyes.
But she couldn’t resist parting her fingers to peek at Lin Haochen.
“Uh, Sis, what are you doing?
I’m not naked.
Besides, you saw plenty when we were kids!”
Lin Haochen paused for a second, then smiled and walked toward Lin Mushu, drying his hair with a towel.
Lin Mushu swallowed hard, forcing herself to appear calm.
She lowered her hands and looked directly at Lin Haochen.
Though her expression betrayed nothing, her heart was pounding.
‘Childhood and now were two completely different things!’
“Ahem.
It’s not that *I* care, but Qingqing comes over all the time.
You can’t be so casual in the future, you hear me?”
Seeing Lin Mushu’s mock-serious expression, Lin Haochen decided not to call her bluff.
He smiled and said, “Got it.
I’ll go to my room and get dressed.”
“Mm, I’m going upstairs too.”
Lin Mushu turned and dashed up the stairs.
But she was wearing a pencil skirt, and in her haste, she tripped and pitched forward.
Just as her head was about to hit the steps, Lin Mushu suddenly felt a pair of strong arms catch her.
She instinctively wrapped her own arms around Lin Haochen.
Lin Haochen had caught her by the waist, saving her from the fall.
Now, however, they were frozen in a pose that resembled a dance, with Lin Mushu’s face pressed tightly against Lin Haochen’s chest.
“Sis, are you okay?
Your face is burning up!”
Lin Haochen teased.
‘He hadn’t expected his sister, after six years apart, to still get shy around him.’
When Lin Mushu came to her senses, she quickly stood up straight, covered her face, and turned to continue upstairs.
“Don’t you dare tell anyone what just happened, or I’ll make you pay!”
Lin Haochen returned to his room with a happy smile.
Being with Lin Mushu felt just like when they were kids again.
Lin Haochen changed into the white suit he had just bought this afternoon.
If not for Lin Mushu, he would not be going to tonight’s banquet.
But since he’d promised Lin Mushu he would go, he couldn’t embarrass her.
He had to wear something respectable.
After getting ready, Lin Haochen waited downstairs for nearly an hour before Lin Mushu finally came down!
‘Sigh…
women.’
Lin Haochen couldn’t help but sigh.
But when he saw Lin Mushu in a red evening gown, he froze.
He’d seen plenty of beautiful women, but the Lin Mushu before him now was an absolute, peerless beauty!
He’d never seen Lin Mushu put so much effort into her appearance before.
This was a first.
Wearing crystal high heels, Lin Mushu gently brushed a stray lock of hair from her forehead as she descended the stairs with graceful, measured steps.
Seeing Lin Haochen’s shocked expression, a smile played on Lin Mushu’s lips.
‘Finally, I’ve evened the score a little!’
‘Still, I never would have thought my little brother would get so handsome over the years.
Some lucky girl is going to snatch him up someday.’
“What are you staring at?
After all these years, haven’t you seen enough of this face?”
“You’re so beautiful, Sis.
A lifetime of looking wouldn’t be enough!”
“Such a smooth talker!
Come on, let’s go, or we’ll be late.”
With that, Lin Mushu naturally linked her arm with Lin Haochen’s as they walked out of the villa.
It was something she had always done, but now that they were grown, their arms brushing against each other inevitably made contact with certain…
soft, wonderful places.
The two got in the car, and Lin Haochen drove to the parking garage of the Global Financial Center Building.
After the two got out of the car, a man in a Rolls-Royce Cullinan parked next to them also got out.
“Well, well, if it isn’t Chairman Lin of the Muchen Group?
I heard tonight’s banquet is exclusively for those involved in the Celestial Valley Exchange project.
Your Muchen Group wasn’t a part of that, was it?”
The man who had stepped out of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan was Li Juwei, the interim chairman of the Wansheng Group.
As a key player in the Celestial Valley Exchange project, Wansheng Group had, of course, been invited.
“We may not have been involved in the Celestial Valley Exchange project, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t invited!”
Lin Mushu scoffed, not giving him the time of day.
Then she turned and walked away with Lin Haochen.
Li Juwei watched Lin Mushu’s slender and alluring retreating figure, a sinister smile spreading across his face.
‘What a goddess,’ he thought.
‘Only a fool like Li Hongrui would storm into her company and try to threaten her.’
Li Juwei took out a small packet of white powder from his pocket, the smile on his face becoming even more sinister.
‘This is some top-shelf stuff I just got from overseas.
I was planning to find a target at the banquet, but since the goddess Lin Mushu has arrived, my target is now crystal clear!’
After leaving the parking garage, the sibling duo of Lin Mushu and Lin Haochen immediately became the center of attention.
However, most people only recognized Lin Mushu; they had no idea who Lin Haochen was.
As one of Jin City’s “Four Great Beauties” and a CEO known for her icy demeanor, the fact that Lin Mushu arrived at the banquet with a man on her arm was nothing short of explosive news.
And from that moment on, Lin Haochen became public enemy number one to the men of Jin City.
The Qihui Conglomerate had sent out invitations for the banquet, but they were treated more like souvenirs and were never actually checked.
After all, the guest list was composed of high-society elites; no one would dare show up uninvited.
At the entrance to the ninety-ninth-floor banquet hall, two tuxedo-clad attendants saw Lin Haochen and Lin Mushu approach and swung the grand doors open for them.
Just then, Zhao Shaocai, his left arm in a cast, came walking out from inside and ran right into Lin Haochen and Lin Mushu.
