War God Returns

Shen Ze could not react to Mu Ling's sudden question.    

He was stunned for a moment and smiled. "Of course. We will be as close as we are now."    

Mu Ling stared at Shen Ze and asked, "Like friends?"    

Shen Ze read other meanings in Mu Ling's eyes, but he pretended not to see it and answered with a smile, "Like brother and sister."    

"Like brother and sister..."    

Mu Ling repeated what Shen Ze said, and a trace of disappointment flashed in the little girl's eyes.    

Shen Ze reached out and rubbed Mu Ling's little head. He said softly, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Let's continue walking."    

"Yes."    

Mu Ling nodded. She hid her disappointment as if there was nothing.    

The little girl turned around and habitually reached out to hold Shen Ze's arm.    

After that, the two of them lifted their feet and continued to walk.    

"Mr Ze, do you want to come to the Mu's Group to work as well?"    

Mu Ling said, "I think you don't have anything to do. You can come to work and pass the time."    

Mu Ling seemed to have suddenly thought of something and then said with a smile, "I need an assistant. I think Mr Ze is very suitable."    

Shen Ze heard her and smiled. "I'm good at fighting wars. I don't know anything about commercial work. I'm not qualified to be the assistant of the president."    

Mu Ling said, "It's okay. The job of an assistant is very simple. I can do it as soon as I learn it."    

In fact, Mu Ling just wanted to stay with Shen Ze more. As for whether Shen Ze could do the job of an assistant, she did not care.    

Shen Ze smiled and said, "I don't want to trouble you."    

Although Shen Ze did not know much about women's thoughts, he could guess what Mu Ling was thinking.    

He felt that this kind of thing was troublesome, so he insisted on rejecting it.    

Seeing that Shen Ze's attitude did not change, Mu Ling could not say anything else. She could only say with disappointment in her heart, "Alright, then I won't force you."    

Mu Ling quickly calmed down and asked, "Mr Ze, what do you plan to do next?"    

Shen Ze thought for a while and said, "I plan to stay in Hai City for a while and then return to my mother's hometown during the Qingming period."    

Mu Ling knew that Shen Ze's mother had passed away for many years, and she knew that Shen Ze returned to his mother's hometown to clean her mother's grave and pay her respects.    

Mu Ling said, "Mr Ze, I also want to see Auntie. I will go back to Haang City with you during the Qingming Festival."    

Haang City was Shen Ze's mother's hometown.    

Mu Ling wanted to go, so Shen Ze naturally wouldn't refuse. He nodded and replied, "Okay."    

Seeing Shen Ze agree, Mu Ling happily said, "Then it's decided so happily!"    

Shen Ze and Mu Ling chatted as they walked around the beach.    

Unknowingly, the sun had set and the sunset had dyed the horizon and the sea red.    

Around seven o'clock in the evening, the sky was slightly dark. Shen Ze and the others left the beach and drove to the Crescent Moon Bay Restaurant.    

The Crescent Moon Bay Restaurant was not far from the beach. They arrived shortly.    

After getting out of the car, Mu Ling said with slight embarrassment, "Mr Ze, I see that other people eat candlelight dinner and the men buy flowers for the women. Can you also buy flowers for me?"    

After saying these words, Mu Ling's little face turned red. She was very shy.    

Seeing the little girl's shy but full of expectation, Shen Ze could not bear to refuse, so he nodded, "I will go buy flowers. You go to the restaurant with Qin Chao first."    

"Okay."    

Seeing that Shen Ze agreed to go buy flowers, Mu Ling was so happy that she almost jumped up.    

After that, Shen Ze went to the flower shop nearby to buy flowers. Mu Ling and Qin Chao walked towards the Crescent Moon Bay Restaurant.    

The flower shop was not far from the restaurant. Shen Ze arrived after walking for a few minutes.    

After entering the flower shop, Shen Ze went straight to the counter.    

The female boss of the flower shop sat behind the counter. When she saw Shen Ze, she smiled and asked softly, "Sir, what kind of flowers do you want to buy?"    

Shen Ze replied, "Roses."    

The flower shop owner then asked, "What color do you want?"    

Shen Ze thought Mu Ling liked pink, so he asked, "Is it pink?"    

The female boss thought for a while and then said, "There seems to be one last bouquet of pink roses left."    

"Sir, please wait a moment. I'll go find flowers."    

After explaining the meaning to Shen Ze, the female boss immediately went to look for the bouquet of pink roses.    

Shen Ze had nothing to do, so he put his hands in his pockets and looked at the flowers in the flower shop. He started to appreciate the flowers.    

At this moment, a young man in a white suit with a buzz cut walked into the flower shop side by side with a young woman in her twenties, wearing a black miniskirt and heavy makeup.    

The couple seemed to have come to their own house, and as soon as they entered the flower shop, they started talking loudly.    

The man in the white suit asked casually, "Baby, what kind of flowers do you want?"    

The woman in the black miniskirt said coquettishly, "Hubby, I want pink roses."    

The man in the white suit nodded. "Okay, I'll buy you a bunch of pink roses!"    

Then, the man in the white suit shouted loudly, "Boss, I want to buy a bunch of pink roses!"    

The female boss ran into the inner room to look for flowers. She did not respond to the man in the white suit immediately.    

Without getting a response, the man in the white suit looked unhappy and started to shout again.    

"Boss, where the hell did you die?"    

"I want to buy flowers, come out quickly!"    

White Suit Youth was dressed like a dog, but he was not a good person. He cursed and had a bad mouth.    

When he heard White Suit Youth's dirty words and his loud voice, it was a little harsh.    

Shen Ze, who was enjoying the flowers, was disturbed. A trace of displeasure appeared in his eyes.    

Although he was a little unhappy, Shen Ze did not say anything or do anything.    

As White Suit Youth was shouting even louder, the female boss who was looking for flowers in the room heard him and replied, "Sir, wait a moment. I will come out immediately."    

White Suit Youth had a bad temper. After hearing the female boss's words, he scolded her unhappily, "I'll wait for you to go to hell. Stop dilly-dallying and disturb my mood!"    

"Hubby, calm down. Stop scolding."    

The woman in the black miniskirt seemed to feel that it was not good to let White Suit Youth curse like this, so she hugged the latter's arm and acted coquettishly, using this to persuade the latter not to curse anymore.    

White Suit Youth was very fond of the woman in the black miniskirt. He endured the anger in his heart and did not curse anymore.    

The flower shop quieted down.    

After a while, the female boss walked out with a bouquet of pink roses in her arms.    

The woman in the black miniskirt saw the pink roses in the female boss's hands and said in a loving tone, "Wow, I want this bouquet of pink roses!"    

"Okay, baby, I'll buy this pink rose."    

White Suit Youth wrapped his arms around the woman in the black miniskirt, then he said to the woman in an unquestionable tone, "I want this bouquet of pink roses, you can wrap it for me!"
