Go To Your Death Chapter 23
bysign
Lin Jin wanted to sleep very deeply this time.
Perhaps because of the rain and the demands he had to deal with the day before yesterday, he was extremely exhausted both mentally and physically.
When I woke up, it was already bright outside the window.
The rain stopped at some point last night, and the sunlight seeped into the room through the gaps in the curtains, casting a bright spot on the carpet.
Lin Jinyao slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes that were stung by the light.
He carefully felt the condition of his body and surprisingly found that except for some soreness caused by the traces left from the day before, there was no new discomfort.
This made him a little startled. Mu Huacheng actually just held him and slept all night.
This is incredible.
But the other party’s almost gentle restraint made Lin Jin feel a subtle uneasiness in his heart.
He was about to stand up when the arms around his waist suddenly came down and pushed him back between the quilts.
With a “plop”, he sank into the soft bed again.
Mu Huacheng seemed to be still awake, or perhaps he had woken up early but still had his eyes closed.
Lin Jin tried to break away from his arms and whispered, “Mr. Mu… are you awake?”
Before he finished speaking, the arms around his waist tightened tighter.
It couldn’t be more obvious that this man was pretending to sleep.
Lin Jinyao tried to break off his hand twice more, but it didn’t move at all, so he simply gave up the struggle.
From an angle that he couldn’t see, the corners of Mu Huacheng’s mouth slightly raised.
It wasn’t until there was a knock on the door and two maids brought clean clothes and breakfast that Lin Jin blushed slightly and whispered, “Mr. Mu, I’m hungry.”
His words were soft and soft, which inexplicably touched Mu Huacheng’s heart.
Mu Huacheng reluctantly opened his eyes, let go of the baby in his arms, lowered his head and pressed a kiss on his lips, his voice still hoarse in the morning, “Good morning, baby.”
After saying that, he looked straight at Lin Jin, with bright expectation in his eyes, as if he was waiting for something.
Lin Jin didn’t react at first. Just as he was about to get out of bed, he was pulled back to the bed and couldn’t move.
It wasn’t until Mu Huacheng pointed at his lips that he suddenly realized.He sighed softly in his heart, and after being mentally prepared, he leaned forward slightly and gave her a light and short good morning kiss.
Mu Huacheng was finally satisfied and let him get out of bed.
At ten o’clock in the morning, Chen Jin appeared in front of Lin Jinyao on time with a team of several lawyers who were rarely seen in normal times.
At that time, Lin Jin had just finished breakfast and was watering the flowers on the rooftop with a kettle.
“Baby, don’t be busy for now. We have business to do.” Mu Huacheng winked at Chen Jin, turned around and took the kettle from Lin Jin’s hand, gently put his arm around his shoulders, and led him to the living room, while whispering, “Chen Jin has been busy with his people for several days. Although it has not been completely settled, you have to sign these documents before we can proceed.”
Mu Huacheng’s tone was as natural as if he was talking about a small daily matter, “But don’t be too anxious, it’s all yours anyway.”
“What do you mean?” Lin Jinyao didn’t realize what he was talking about for a moment.
Mu Huacheng smiled and brought him to the desk and pressed him on the chair.
Only then did Lin Jin see clearly that the lawyer was holding a thick stack of documents waiting to be signed on the case.
“Are there so many?” He was a little surprised.
Hearing this, Chen Jin also smiled and explained, “This is only a small half.” Then he turned to the lawyer beside him and said, “Lawyer Yang, I will trouble you to explain the terms to Master Lin later.”
Lawyer Yang nodded and stepped forward, stood next to Lin Jinyao, skillfully picked up the first document and prepared to start explaining.
Mu Huacheng looked at Lin Jinyao’s slightly confused expression, so cute that he couldn’t help but purse his lips and chuckle.
He patted Lin Jinyao on the shoulder and said, “Baby, please take your time and read it first. If you don’t understand something, ask the lawyer to answer it at any time.” His voice was soft, “I’m going to deal with other things first.”
After saying that, he and Chen Jin turned around and walked towards the study.
The thick solid wood door blocked out the sounds in the living room, leaving only the light breathing of Mu Huacheng and Chen Jin in the study.
Chen Jin closed the door, and Mu Huacheng stood in front of the window, his back straight and his deep voice extremely clear, “Are you all ready?”
Chen Jin stood half a step behind him and replied respectfully, “Everything has been arranged and you are ready to go at any time.”
Mu Huacheng turned around with a serious look on his face, “I don’t allow any mistakes.”
“Understood.” Chen Jin then stepped forward and handed the tablet in his hand to Mu Huacheng. It showed a 5D holographic visual rendering of the wedding scene. “Here are all the detailed arrangements. You can take a look first.”
Mu Huacheng’s slender fingers gently slid up and down the screen, looking at every link carefully.
Then, his fingertips stopped somewhere and frowned slightly, “Something needs to be changed here.”
He pointed to the flower arrangement plan, “Replace all the pink roses with white orchids. The pink roses are a bit tacky and not worthy of A Yao. A Yao likes the pure texture.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange it immediately.” Chen Jin quickly recorded this and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and said, “Mr. Mu, last night, Sotheby’s New York Head Office sent two invitations, specifically asking you to attend the preview exhibition next week. Their exhibition time is only a few days away from our schedule. Do you want to take Mr. Lin to see it?”
“They moved pretty fast.” You know, Mu Huacheng could have ordered everything to be sealed off about what happened on the birthday party.
This can be spread.
“There are always people who are not afraid of death.” Chen Jin observed Mu Huacheng’s expression and continued to explain: “I saw that Young Master Lin went to an art exhibition last time and was quite interested in classical works of art. This time Sotheby’s will display a group of Renaissance paintings, which must be to his taste. And he must slowly adapt to such an occasion. After all, there will be many occasions in the future where Young Master Lin will appear.”
The corners of Mu Huacheng’s lips raised slightly, and a trace of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes, “Yes, that’s very thoughtful. Let’s make the arrangements then?”
“I’ll get in touch right away.” Chen Jin responded.
Lin Jin wanted to listen to the lawyer explaining the terms one by one, while absently paying attention to the movements in the study.
The vague uneasiness still lingered in his heart. He was not afraid of Mu Huacheng getting tough with him, but he was afraid of this man’s gentle methods. He always felt that something big would happen, and his uneasiness made him more vigilant.
The lawyer’s voice was gentle and clear, “These are several real estate properties that Mr. Mu transferred to you, including the old French-style house in downtown Xijing that you mentioned you like, and the holiday villa in the southern suburbs. The property rights of each property are very clear, without any mortgage or dispute.”
Lin Jinyao’s fingertips paused slightly.
He did seem to have casually praised the red brick exterior walls and carved iron railings of the bungalow, which made people feel happy.But he didn’t expect that Mu Huacheng not only remembered it, but also directly transferred it to his name.
“This stack is an equity transfer agreement,” the lawyer continued pushing another stack of documents. “Mr. Mu also transferred 25% of his ML Group shares and 30% of the newly acquired Yuanlin Technology shares to you.”
Lin Jin was stunned.
ML is the core enterprise of Mu Huacheng’s business empire. 20% of the shares means amazing wealth and voice.
As for Yuanlin Technology… He suddenly remembered that a few months ago, he casually mentioned at the dinner table that he was optimistic about the future prospects of artificial intelligence.
Mu Huacheng just responded lightly at that time. Unexpectedly, he turned around and acquired a technology company and gave him most of the shares.
Seeing that he looked dazed, the lawyer thoughtfully paused his explanation and asked softly, “Master Lin, do you need to take a rest?”
Lin Jin shook his head and was about to refuse when the door to the study room opened.
Mu Huacheng and Chen Jin walked out one after the other.
Mu Huacheng’s eyes immediately fell on Lin Jinyao. Seeing his dazed look, he walked over quickly, leaned over and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the terms?”
His approach brought a faint scent of sandalwood, and Lin Jin subconsciously smelled it on the tip of his nose, feeling a little reassured.
“No…” Lin Jinyao replied in a low voice, “It’s just… these are too expensive.”
Mu Huacheng chuckled lightly and reached out to rub his hair: “Take it as long as it’s given to you. Isn’t what’s mine yours?”
His tone was natural, as if he was saying something ordinary.
Lin Jin lowered his eyes and did not answer.
Mu Huacheng did not force himself and turned to look at the lawyer, “How much is left?”
“The main part has been explained. There are still some overseas assets and fund documents that need to be reviewed by Master Lin.” The lawyer replied respectfully.
“Then let’s continue.” Mu Huacheng pulled up a chair and sat down next to Lin Jinyao, obviously wanting to accompany him to process these documents.
Lin Jin felt a little bit of pressure, but more of a confusion.
Mu Huacheng’s behavior was beyond the scope of his understanding, and it didn’t seem like a spur of the moment generosity, but rather like…a…
A little weird!
He couldn’t help but glance at Mu Huacheng, who was listening intently to the lawyer’s explanation of the terms of a trust fund. His chiselled profile was cold and serious.
This sense of violation made Lin Jinyao’s uneasiness even stronger.
Finally, the last document was signed.
The legal team politely excused themselves, leaving them alone in the living room.
Mu Huacheng looked at the sorted documents with satisfaction and turned to Lin Jin with a smile, “Okay, honey, the business is done. Where do you want to have lunch later? I heard that a new French restaurant has opened in the east of the city, and the chef is hired from Paris. You should like it.”
Chen Jin echoed from the side, “Master Fan highly recommends it.”
Lin Jin didn’t answer their words.
He was silent for a moment, then finally raised his eyes and looked directly at Mu Huacheng, “Why are you giving me these all of a sudden?”
Mu Huacheng’s smile did not change, “It was originally yours. I have been busy dealing with various things before, and I have been putting it off until now.”
“It’s not just for this reason.” Lin Jinyao insisted, his voice soft but firm, “You have been very different recently.”
Mu Huacheng stared at him, the smile in his eyes gradually settling into a deeper emotion.
He stretched out his hand to touch Lin Jinyao’s cheek, thinking to himself how long would this person have to be insensitive to his feelings?
Although I won’t admit it with my mouth, my body is much more honest.
Besides, he had already announced to everyone at the birthday party that he was Mu Huacheng’s fiancé. How long would this man be able to escape?
“I’m good to you, do I need a reason?”
“Need.” Lin Jin wanted to answer honestly.
Mu Huacheng was silent.
He stood up and walked to the window, with his back to Lin Jinyao. The sunlight gilded his tall figure with a layer of gold. Then he turned around, with an almost gentle look on his face, but also a trace of hard-to-capture heaviness.
“I’ll take you to New York next week,” he changed the subject. “There’s a preview at Sotheby’s. There are some paintings you might like.”
This sudden invitation made Lin Jinyao even more confused.”Why suddenly…”
“It’s not sudden.”
“Why?” Lin Jin asked again, which would disrupt his plan again.
This is not good!
Mu Huacheng walked towards him and squatted on one knee in front of his chair. This posture of looking up was almost unimaginable to Mu Huacheng.
“Because I want you to be by my side,” he held Lin Jinyao’s hand
Lin Jin was stunned for a moment.
This man was definitely not the Mu Huacheng he knew. Mu Huacheng had always been the strong, controlling man who never explained, let alone lowered his stance like this.
How terrible!
