Chapter 309: Lin Dai, be my girlfriend_1
"I don’t care! According to our agreement, you didn’t complete the commissioned task within the stipulated time, which means you owe a penalty for breach of contract! But considering the face of the Azure Dragon Duke, I won’t demand the penalty this time!" the person known as Mu Sha replied.
"I’m truly sorry, General Mu Sha," Lin Dai said, "Don’t worry, we won’t take your commission fund this time!"
"Hmm, I’ll let it go this time! However, I really can’t trust the Women’s Knight Group with the next commissioned task!" Mu Sha stated before he complained, "After all, it’s a bunch of women, and their work is just so unreliable!"
"I am truly sorry!" Lin Dai bowed deeply to General Mu Sha.
Following that, accompanied by the sound of Mu Sha’s footsteps, he appeared within Chu Qin’s view!
"Your subordinate, greets Your Majesty!" Mu Sha immediately knelt before Chu Qin.
"Mu Sha, it is indeed the fault of the Women’s Knight Group that they didn’t complete the task as per the rules this time, but as far as I know, their completion rate has already surpassed most of the Knights Groups! If I ever hear you again saying anything about the Women’s Knight Group being inadequate, don’t blame me for being rude to you!" Chu Qin said coldly to Mu Sha.
"Yes, Azure Dragon Duke!" Mu Sha trembled and replied, "Your subordinate, from now on, will continue to trust the Women’s Knight Group!"
"Good, if they fail again, come directly to me!" Chu Qin responded, "You may go now!"
"Yes! This subordinate takes his leave!" Hearing this, Mu Sha immediately bowed and retreated!
At this moment, Chu Qin’s stern expression softened as he walked into the room.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" As soon as she entered, Lin Dai knelt respectfully before Chu Qin.
"What are you doing?" Chu Qin asked with a light smile, immediately helping her to her feet.
"Your Majesty, I heard your conversation with General Mu Sha!" Lin Dai replied with guilt, "I’m sorry for disappointing you!"
"What’s there for me to be disappointed about!" Chu Qin smiled, "You’ve already done quite well!"
Lin Dai, unchanging in expression, still felt some guilt.
"Being happy is the most important thing in life!" Seeing this, Chu Qin said softly with a smile, "There’s a saying that goes, ’Keep smiling, and good fortune will naturally come!’"
"Yes!" Hearing Chu Qin’s words and seeing his warm smile, Lin Dai finally showed a slight smile.
"Lin Dai, why don’t you quit the Knights Group; it’s quite tiring!" Chu Qin said with a hint of heartache.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Lin Dai shook her head, "But founding the Women’s Knight Group and making it flourish is the dream of my life!"
"What’s a dream worth!" Chu Qin said irritably, "Do you have to endure so much for a dream?"
"Although it’s tough, I feel happy seeing the Knights Group grow little by little!" Lin Dai replied with a slight smile.
"Well then, I don’t have dreams, so I can’t relate!" Chu Qin answered helplessly.
"By the way! You mustn’t have had breakfast yet, have you?" Chu Qin continued to inquire.
"Yes!" Lin Dai nodded.
Chu Qin gave a faint smile, placed the lunch box on the table and took out a bowl of lotus seed porridge from it, "See, does this look familiar?"
"Is that, is that not the one I made for you?" Lin Dai exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that it tasted too awful?"
"Yes!" Chu Qin nodded, "But not awful, rather it’s quite tasty, it’s just that you made too much! We couldn’t finish it. The leftovers are for you to deal with; we can’t waste food!"
"Yes!" Lin Dai smiled at his words. Being praised by Chu Qin swept away her previous unhappiness, and she then took the bowl of lotus seed porridge from Chu Qin’s hands, and began to sip it elegantly and slowly with a soup spoon!
"Oh!" Chu Qin exclaimed in mild surprise.
"What’s the matter, Lord Chu Qin?" Lin Dai stopped eating her porridge, her beautiful eyes sparkled as she spoke.
"Do all members of the Knights Group drink so slowly?" Chu Qin asked, "Or are you just pretending in front of me?"
"Ah..." Lin Dai was momentarily at a loss for words. Because Chu Qin had hit the nail on the head.
"Lord Chu Qin, how did you know I was pretending?"
"Your Knights Group practices militarized management and is always short on time with heavy tasks. How could you possibly drink porridge like this?" Chu Qin said with a faint smile, "Am I right?"
"Yes!" Lin Dai nodded, then put her spoon to the side and quickly drank the entire bowl of porridge in one gulp!
"That’s more like it!" Chu Qin also smiled in response.
"I’m sorry, Lord Chu Qin, for making a fool of myself!" Lin Dai replied with a slightly embarrassed smile.
"Are you done?" Chu Qin asked, "Once you finish, give me the bowl!"
"It’s okay, Lord Chu Qin, I can wash it myself!" Lin Dai replied.
Chu Qin gave a gentle smile and assertively stretched out his hand!
Only then did Lin Dai place the bowl in Chu Qin’s hand!
The next moment, Chu Qin took the bowl with his left hand, and with his right hand, he grabbed Lin Dai’s right palm, pulling her into his arms!
"Lord Chu Qin..." Lin Dai wasn’t prepared for Chu Qin’s sudden move!
"Your senior sister, Jin’er, told me that you like me, is it true?" Chu Qin set the bowl aside and asked Lin Dai with a warm smile.
"Ah... she told you!" Lin Dai’s pretty face turned red as she murmured, "Why would she do that? We clearly agreed not to tell!"
"Haha! Actually, your senior sister didn’t tell me anything, I was lying to you!" Chu Qin said with a light laugh. Initially, Chu Qin had been doubtful about Lin Dai’s feelings for him, but today, not only had Lin Dai voluntarily cooked porridge for him, she’d also invited Su Jin to whisper in his ear at her behest!
Chu Qin immediately realized that Lin Dai must have developed feelings for him!
And if that was the case, why should Chu Qin wait any longer?
"Ah..." Lin Dai furrowed her brows in panic!
"Ah what!" Chu Qin said with a smile, "It seems like you really do like me, then. Guess what, do I like you?"
Lin Dai shook her head!
"Then you’re really silly!" Chu Qin replied, "If I didn’t like you, would I be holding you like this?"
"Lin Dai, be my girlfriend!" Chu Qin said, his tone becoming slightly serious.
Lin Dai’s eyes widened, but she didn’t respond immediately!
Seeing this, Chu Qin’s serious expression softened, and he said with a bit of uncertainty, "You’ve seen my situation... Aside from Emperor Xue Ye, there aren’t many women who can compare to me!"
But before Chu Qin could finish speaking, Lin Dai had already kissed him on the lips! This was something she had longed for!
This took Chu Qin by surprise! Normally, he should be the one initiating a kiss like this, but Lin Dai had taken matters into her own hands!
However, it didn’t take long for Chu Qin to reciprocate Lin Dai’s move, responding with an even more intense counterattack!
"Ding! Detecting that Goddess Lin Dai has fallen in love with the host willingly, granting special Secret Manual: Stagnant Sky!"
