companion

    A Pagani Noir drove silently into the New York night and finally stopped in front of a building without a dazzling signboard.

    The man in black got out of the car first, and after making sure the environment was safe, he opened the door for Mu Huacheng.

    Mu Huacheng got out of the car first, with a tall and straight body. After standing up, he did not let go of Lin Jinyao’s hand immediately, but used a slight force to pull him out of the car.

    Then Lin Jin took his arm very naturally.

    “Follow me.” Mu Huacheng turned his head and whispered in Lin Jinyao’s ear. Although his tone was light, it was heavy.

    Lin Jinyao nodded obediently.Subconsciously, he straightened his back, and his face showed a slight sense of alienation that suited the occasion.

    Walking through the door, there is a unique world inside.

    The sky above is extremely high, and the bright sky is simulated inside, making people temporarily confused and unable to tell whether it is day or night.

    The interior decoration is a combination of retro and modern, and every detail is just right, which shows that the designer has put all his efforts into it.

    The air was filled with the complex smell of cigars, expensive perfume and some kind of cold floral scent.

    The people talking in low voices were richly dressed and elegant.But the smiles in his eyes were rarely genuine.

    Deep in everyone’s eyes, there are varying degrees of secrets that cannot be pried into.

    At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler came forward and saluted Mu Huacheng respectfully, “Mr. Mu, welcome, the head of the family has been waiting for a long time.”

    The man’s eyes quickly swept over Lin Jinyao without showing any emotion.

    Mu Huacheng signaled, “Lead the way.”

    The butler stretched out his hand to lead the way, “Please.”

    Then he led the two people away from the crowd and walked towards a heavy double door at the back.

    The guard outside the door obviously knew Mu Huacheng and opened the door skillfully.

    The space inside the door is more private than outside, and there are many fewer people.

    A huge red sofa faced the door, and an old man with gray hair sat on it, listening to what a slightly wealthy man next to him was saying.

    Hearing the sound of the door opening, the old man raised his head, his eyes instantly locked on Mu Huacheng, and then he smiled.

    “Alex,” the old man said, his voice loud and clear, with the calmness of someone who has been in a position of superiority for a long time, “you are a few minutes late.”

    The old man spoke fluent English with a slight accent.

    “The road is a little congested, Mr. Samuel.” Mu Huacheng took a step forward, reached out and shook hands with the old man, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, “New York’s traffic always brings a little surprise.”

    The old man laughed and patted Mu Huacheng’s arm, but his eyes turned to Lin Jinyao behind him, “Who is this?”

    “Lin Jinyao.” Mu Huacheng introduced succinctly, his arms naturally wrapped around Lin Jinyao’s waist, and took him a step forward slightly, “My partner.”

    “Yo! It’s rare.” A flash of surprise flashed in Samuel’s eyes, which was immediately replaced by deeper exploration.

    He stood up and took a step forward, looked up and down, and the wrinkles on his face deepened, “Welcome, young man. It is a rare sight to have Alex with you.”

    Lin Jin felt Mu Huacheng’s hand press lightly on his lower back, and he nodded slightly, “Thank you, Mr. Samuel, for the compliment. It’s an honor to be invited.”

    Lin Jin spoke fluent and standard English, which surprised Mu Huacheng.

    Samuel is very satisfied with Lin Jin.

    He nodded, looked away from Lin Jinyao, and started talking to Mu Huacheng.

    The content of the conversation between the two sounded ordinary, but Lin Jin could tell that it was the economic trend and some real estate projects that attracted the most attention offline in M ​​country.

    Lin Jin should sit quietly beside Mu Huacheng and be a qualified listener.

    The eyes of other people in the room glanced at him from time to time, and then quickly shifted.

    This was the first time for Lin Jin to observe Mu Huacheng at such a close distance under such circumstances.

    He speaks with ease, his sentences are concise, his expression is calm, and every word he speaks is just right.He firmly controls the rhythm of the conversation, and there is a deep meaning behind every word.

    This was almost the same person as the Mu Huacheng who was often controlling and aggressive toward him in private, and would even say some bluntly provocative words.

    This is Mu Huacheng’s real world.

    During the conversation, the waiter brought drinks.

    Mu Huacheng naturally got a glass of champagne for Lin Jin and a glass of pure water for himself.

    “Don’t like the wine here?” Samuel raised his eyebrows.

    “You need to stay absolutely awake tonight.” Mu Huacheng shook the water glass in his hand and smiled pointedly, “After all, when chatting with you, missing a word is a loss.”

    Upon hearing this, Samuel laughed again.

    Mu Huacheng took Lin Jin through different small circles and introduced him to different people – financial tycoons, technology upstarts, and several “industrialists” whose backgrounds were obviously not that simple.

    Everyone’s reaction was similar to Samuel’s at first, surprised that Mu Huacheng would bring someone to attend, and maintaining a polite but distant observation of Lin Jinyao.

    Midway, Mu Huacheng was invited aside by a Chinese man with an oriental face, who seemed to have something important to discuss.

    Mu Huacheng lowered his head and said to Lin Jin, “Ah Yao, I’m going to go for a while and I’ll be back soon. Get something to eat and don’t go too far.”

    Lin Jin wants to nod.

    But not long after Mu Huacheng left, an uncomfortable voice sounded in Lin Jinyao’s ears.

    “First time attending such a party?”

    Lin Jin turned around and saw a man in his forties with brown hair and blue eyes, holding a glass of red wine in his hand and looking at him with a playful smile.

    “Yes.”

    “Alex rarely treats people like this.” The man looked Lin Jinyao up and down. His eyes were not offensive, but definitely not friendly. “You seem to be very charming.”

    Lin Jinyao heard the subtext in his words, and his expression remained unchanged, “Mr. Mu is just more thoughtful.”

    “Thoughtful?” The man chuckled, took a step closer, and lowered his voice, “He is not thoughtful about his bed partner. Come meet Samuel. Who are you? Huh? Where do you come from? A kid?”

    This person’s tone is really uncomfortable.

    Lin Jin wanted to curse in his heart, but there was a hint of coldness on his face, “This seems to have nothing to do with you.”

    The man was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect that this man would be so bold, and he would directly attack him. His eyes darkened, “It’s interesting. But, kid, I would like to remind you that Alex’s world is not as simple as it seems. Be careful not to be chewed to the bone.”

    “Please trouble me.” Lin Jinyao’s voice was still cold.

    At this moment, an arm wrapped around Lin Jinyao’s waist again.

    Mu Huacheng left and came back without looking at the brown-haired man. He just lowered his head and asked Lin Jin, “What’s wrong? Baby, who made you unhappy?”

    Mu Huacheng’s tone was normal, but the air pressure emanating from his body instantly dropped a few degrees.

    The brown-haired man’s face changed slightly, and he immediately put on a smile, “Alex, I’m just chatting with your little friend.”

    Mu Huacheng slowly turned his gaze to him, his eyes cold, “Are you done talking, Michael?”

    The man named Michael seemed to be frightened by his aura, he laughed twice, “Of course, I won’t disturb you, you can chat.”

    After saying that, he quickly turned around and left.

    Mu Huacheng withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Jinyao, his eyes softening, “What did he say?”

    “Nothing.” Lin Jin shook his head, “Some boring words.”

    Mu Huacheng stared at him for a moment, as if to confirm that he was indeed fine, and then said calmly, “Stay away from him. His business is not very clean. He recently tried to take advantage of me, but I didn’t agree.”

    “Yeah.” Lin Jin responded.

    He felt Mu Huacheng’s hand tighten around his waist, this man was nervous about him.

    In the following time, Mu Huacheng hardly let Lin Jin leave his sight.

    The dinner lasted until late at night.

    After returning to the car and isolating the outside world, Lin Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little tired.

    Socializing in suits and ties is far more exhausting than imagined.

    Mu Huacheng loosened his tie and looked sideways at him, “How do you feel?”

    “It’s more tiring than fighting a battle.” Lin Jin wanted to tell the truth, leaning back slightly on his chair.

    Mu Huacheng chuckled, reached out and pinched the back of his neck gently, “Ah Yao did a good job.” There was appreciation in his tone, “You will get used to it gradually in the future.”

    Later?

    This person is still planning to let him…?

    “Mr. Mu, you plan to…”

    “A Yao, since ancient times it has always been easier to conquer a country than to defend it.” Mu Huacheng looked at him and said seriously, “Especially for people of our stature, some things are not only related to personal interests, but also to the national level. We cannot retreat.”

    Lin Jin must understand that once one steps into something, it is difficult to get out. After all, capable people have to do a lot.

    “Mr. Mu, you are very patriotic.”

    “Haha…”

    Mu Huacheng’s fingers were still squeezing the back of Lin Jinyao’s neck, the force was neither light nor heavy, with a kind of controlling comfort.

    The car slowly drove into the villa garage and stopped silently.

    The man in black opened the car door for them, and the cold air rushed in instantly.

    After returning to the villa, Lin Jinyao sighed silently, still not used to this seemingly cold house.

    But compared with the world outside where smiles hide knives, here on Mu Huacheng’s territory, there seems to be a strange sense of security.

    Mu Huacheng threw the car keys on the entrance table with a crisp sound.

    He casually unbuttoned his suit, tugged on his tie, and finally took a breath.

    “Are you hungry? You barely ate anything at the dinner.” Mu Huacheng asked as he walked towards the island in the open kitchen, where a bottle of red wine and two glasses had been placed for some time.

    Lin Jin wanted to follow, but shook his head, “I don’t have any appetite, Mr. Mu, that Michael…”

    Mu Huacheng didn’t stop pouring the wine and pushed one of the glasses in front of him. “It’s just a wild dog eager to find a new owner. Don’t worry about it.”

    Lin Jin wanted to pick up the wine glass, but didn’t drink it. “He seems to be afraid of you.”

    Mu Huacheng looked up at him, with a warm curve at the corner of his mouth. He picked up his cup, lightly touched the rim of Lin Jin’s cup, and made a crisp “ding” sound, “In this world, fear is often more effective than respect.”

    He took a sip of wine and his eyes fell on Lin Jinyao, who was still wearing a formal suit, “Go and change these shackles.”

    “Mr. Mu, don’t you want to tear it apart?”

    As soon as Lin Jin said what he wanted to say, he was dumbfounded as to why he would say such a thing.

    Sure enough, Mu Huacheng’s eyes darkened, and the wine glass was placed on the counter with a bang. Lin Jin was startled, and he turned around and left quickly with a blushing face.

    Mu Huacheng raised the corners of his mouth and ran very fast.

    When Lin Jin was about to put on comfortable home clothes and come out, Mu Huacheng also put on dark pajamas of the same style and was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the night view of Tribeca outside.

    Lin Jin was about to walk over and stopped quietly beside him.

    “Look over there,” Mu Huacheng pointed in one direction with the hand holding the cup and spoke in a low voice, “Samuel’s main competition is in that area. And over there…” He pointed in another direction, “Over there is the dock area where Michael has always wanted to intervene, but I was able to hold him down.”

    Mu Huacheng’s tone was too normal, as if it was a trivial matter.

    “You took me to the dinner to tell everyone that I am yours?” Lin Jinyao looked out the window and asked suddenly.

    Because this question had been lingering in Lin Jinyao’s mind all night.

    Mu Huacheng turned to look at him, his eyes full of tenderness, “Yes, and no.”

    He took a step closer, and his gentle breath enveloped Lin Jinyao, “I mainly want to tell those who are short-sighted, or have evil thoughts like Michael, to weigh the consequences before touching you.”

    “These people have very good ears.” Mu Huacheng said with a smile: “When the birthday party is like that, there are always some people who are not afraid of death.”

    When it comes to birthday parties, Lin Jin has to think of, “Chen Jin…”

    Mu Huacheng lowered his head and thought for a moment. After thinking about it again and again, he finally said it, “Zhou Hongbing was rescued at the dock where he was being taken to Xijing. Chen Jin is handling the follow-up matters.”

    J and K succeeded!

    “Ah?” Lin Jinyao was slightly surprised, “Who dares to do this in Mr. Mu’s territory?”

    “Has Flo heard of it?”

    Lin Jin shook his head.

    “Ah Yao is really a person as pure as a lotus.” His fingertips lightly traced the side of Lin Jinyao’s face, “One of the Lin family’s properties back then was now bought at a low price by a dumb turtle. Moreover, he is not afraid of death and plans to declare war on me.”

    Lin Jin wanted to think to himself, but no one is declaring war on you, he just wants to find out something.

    “What are you going to do, Mr. Mu?”

    “Be polite first, then attack. As long as they don’t attack you, I can keep saluting you and spend some money at most.” Mu Huacheng kissed him, “But if there are some unscrupulous people who dare to attack your attention. Ah Yao, I have to let them know what price they have to pay for daring to touch my weakness.”

    This statement is extremely straightforward, even cruel.

    Lin Jinyao’s heart contracted suddenly, not because of fear, but because of guilt!

    If Mr. Mu were to know that he was the one instigating it behind his back, he would definitely be so beaten up by Mr. Mu that he would not be able to get out of bed?

    Mu Huacheng lowered his head, his forehead gently pressed against Lin Jinyao’s forehead, his breath blended, and his voice was low, he asked: “Are you afraid?”

    Lin Jinyao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, “Afraid.”

    “Honest child.” Mu Huacheng heard this and laughed softly. He lowered his head and kissed Lin Jinyao’s forehead, put his arms around Lin Jinyao’s waist, and took him away from the window.

    “It’s time to rest.” Mu Huacheng’s tone was a little tired, “You did a good job tonight and deserve a reward…”

    His words were extremely suggestive, and his gaze almost shot through the home clothes Lin Jin was wearing.

    “This is to reward Mr. Mu himself!”

    Mu Huacheng picked the person up, walked to the bed, and put the person down.

    Half an hour later, the only smell in the room was each other’s breath and the rising temperature.
