Chapter 182: Chapter 173: Flattery Sounds Really LoudAfter Lin Mu helped Sophie fasten her buttons, she got up from the bed, while Lin Mu, having enjoyed the view, stood up with a grin and complimented, "Feifei, you’re truly beautiful." Sophie furrowed her brows slightly, looked into Lin Mu’s eyes, and said, "Lin Mu, can you say something even more cheesy? Please, don’t use that tone with me again. It might work on little girls, but it has no effect on me whatsoever. Don’t get any ideas either!" "Uh..." Lin Mu was left speechless for a moment. This girl really is immune to everything! He really couldn’t figure out what would touch her true emotions! "Alright, stop standing there like an idiot! It’s getting late, let’s head to the dance party and have some fun." Sophie called out. "Alright, let’s go." Lin Mu nodded in agreement. Then Lin Mu and Sophie left the guest room and headed towards the dance party. As they approached the venue, Lin Mu naturally wrapped his arm around Sophie’s slender waist. Although Sophie slightly resisted, she had to save face, so she had to let Lin Mu have his way! The dance party was set up on the deck of a cruise ship, under the moonlight, accompanied by soft blue rotating lights, creating a romantic and enchanting atmosphere! The ballroom played soothing, elegant music. Around the old round tables, infatuated couples sat across from each other, sipping wine and chatting leisurely. Several gentlemanly dressed men and their graceful companions danced in the center of the stage, giving the ballroom a very relaxed and harmonious vibe. "Feifei, you’re here." Chen Shiwei greeted them with a smile as he approached. "Mm." Towards Chen Shiwei, Sophie always responded with a faint reply, then nodded and glanced elsewhere, and that was the end of that. However, Lin Mu enthusiastically reached out his hand, "Ah, Eldest Young Master Chen, hello there!" Chen Shiwei was well aware of the strength of Lin Mu’s hand; it wasn’t just an iron hand, it was practically an iron clamp! He could only retract his hand behind his back and said, "Please, have a seat inside." S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lin Mu, still with his arm around Sophie’s slender waist, found a vacant spot and sat down. "Here, have some wine." Chen Shiwei placed two glasses of red wine in front of Sophie and Lin Mu. "Wow, Eldest Young Master Chen is really polite, thank you, thank you!" Lin Mu said, not holding back at all as he grabbed the wine glass and started drinking. "Young Master Chen, why don’t you join us for a drink?" Sophie gracefully suggested. "Uh, no, I have a few friends over there I need to greet, so I won’t disturb you." Chen Shiwei waved his hand with a smile. "Ah, Eldest Young Master Chen, suit yourself! We won’t hold you up. Feifei and I will just enjoy our little world here!" Lin Mu waved his hand with a laugh. "Alright then, I’ll head over." Chen Shiwei waved and then turned to disappear into the crowd. Watching Chen Shiwei walk away, Sophie glanced at Lin Mu, "I notice something special between you and Eldest Young Master Chen! Sometimes, you seem quite close without any dislike, and at other times, every word targets Chen Shiwei, always putting him in a tough spot!" Lin Mu nonchalantly shrugged, "He doesn’t care anyway. Whether I say anything or not makes no difference!" "Chen Shiwei isn’t as simple as you think. He has a deep reserve; he’s one of Wancheng’s three heroes. He’s definitely not as mediocre as he seems and has no temper at all!" "Haha, I know that, the so-called no signs of emotion or anger! In fact, these people are the most frightening, who knows when he’ll stab you. He’s the typical smiling tiger!" Lin Mu laughed. "And yet you always target him?" "Haha, what I’m doing is secretly warning him not to play any tricks. I’m constantly on guard against him. I know Chen Shiwei is not simple, so I never underestimate him; I just pretend to disregard him! Strategically respecting the opponent while tactically underestimating them, that’s a man’s strategy and tactics, you get it?" "Pfft, talking strategy with me, I’ve fought more battles in the marketplace than the roads you’ve walked. Tell me, do you have any combat experience?" Sophie retorted with a pout. "Oh come on..." Lin Mu almost lost his breath, the Special Forces King of the North African Grassland’s Wolf Fang Team, a true strongman in the mercenary world, being accused of lacking combat experience, this is just ridiculous! However, Lin Mu restrained himself and instead humbly nodded, "Yes, compared to President Su, my combat experience is indeed far inferior!" "Hmph, at least you have some self-awareness..." President Su showed a victorious smile. Not long after, Jiao Yunda arrived at the dance party, accompanied by a beautifully dressed woman, apparently his dance partner. "Brother Jiao, you’re finally here!" Sophie greeted with a smile. Jiao Yunda, holding the woman’s hand, was clearly a seasoned player in the scene. He smiled at Lin Mu but spoke to Sophie, "Feifei, you’ll have to grace us with a dance with Lin Mu later!" "Haha, of course, no problem." Sophie replied with a smile. "Alright then, I’ll go over there for a bit, you and Lin Mu enjoy yourselves!" Jiao Yunda said and walked into the crowd with his beautiful companion in tow. Watching as Jiao Yunda walked away, Lin Mu chuckled, pointing at the woman’s back, and said, "Wow, Jiao Yunda really has an eye for beautiful women, second only to me, Lin Mu, in this world!" Oh my! Not only was he boasting, but he also managed to flatter Sophie in one go! Which made Sophie both shy and angry, "Such nonsense..."
