So what if I only have a junior college degree? It won't stop me from marrying the bureau chief

Upon hearing Lin Mu's words, Jiang Wan's pretty face immediately flushed red.

"Lin Mu, listen to me carefully."

She clenched her fists and threatened in a harsh tone, "If you dare to make even the slightest sound, my mother will hear you."

Jiang Wan swung her fist at him fiercely.

"I'll immediately report you for illegal entry, drugging me, and making inappropriate advances!"

"You know what your fate will be."

Jiang Wan turned around, hesitated for a moment, and murmured one last thing before closing the cabinet door: "Don't do anything strange to me!"

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the cabinet door closed.

The wardrobe was pitch black, with only the strong scent of jasmine filling the air.

Lin Mu blinked. With just a slight movement of his hand, he could touch those soft, lace-trimmed garments.

'This girl, still dressed so flashy.'

Lin Mu muttered a curse to himself.

He grabbed a skirt and placed it under his head, listening quietly to the sounds outside the door.

"Xiao Wan, dinner's ready."

Not long after, Song Muwan's voice came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, the "tap-tap" of footsteps grew closer and closer.

"Oh~ Mom, you're back~"

Jiang Wan, who had just wanted to kill Lin Mu, immediately changed her expression.

Her voice was soft and sweet, even with a nasal tone from just waking up.

At this moment, Lin Mu, who was inside the wardrobe, shook his head speechlessly.

"He's a damn good actor."

"Xiao Wan, why did you go to sleep without even changing your clothes?"

Song Muwan walked into the bedroom and saw her daughter, who was still wearing a dress. She immediately playfully pinched the tip of her nose.

"Mom bought crab roe soup dumplings and hot soy milk. Hurry up and wash up and eat."

"Okay~ I'll change my clothes and then go downstairs."

Jiang Wan stuck out her tongue and coquettishly pushed Song Muwan out of the bedroom.

"Okay, okay, hurry up."

With a helpless chuckle, Song Muwan's footsteps faded into the distance.

"call……"

Jiang Wan only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her mother had gone downstairs.

She went to the wardrobe again, flung open the door, and her face turned cold once more.

She lowered her voice and pointed to the door: "Let's get out of here now!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"You're all brawn and no brains, aren't you? Your mom's downstairs, how am I supposed to get there?"

Jiang Wan paused for a moment, then mentally reviewed the first-floor apartment layout.

After realizing what was happening, Jiang Wan pursed her pink lips.

"Then, could you jump from the second floor?"

"???"

"Jiang Wan, did you throw a firecracker at me?!"

Lin Mu's lips twitched, and she shrank back into the corner of the wardrobe.

"I'll leave after your mom goes out."

"snort!"

Jiang Wan snorted softly and stomped her foot in a huff.

"Move over a bit, I need to get my clothes."

Jiang Wan took a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts right under Lin Mu's nose.

When she caught a glimpse of the skirt beneath Lin Mu's buttocks, her breathing quickened.

"Lin Mu, my dress! That's my favorite one!"

"what?"

Lin Mu followed Jiang Wan's gaze and saw the white long skirt under her buttocks.

"oh."

He grabbed the wrinkled long dress and handed it to Jiang Wan with an innocent look on his face.

"for you."

"Lin Mu!"

Finally, Jiang Wan took a deep breath and slapped his hand away.

"Bang!"

Then, slam the door shut.

Seeing Jiang Wan's exasperation, Lin Mu's lips curled into a smile.

"Trying to fight me? You're 20,000 years too early!"

But after only a few seconds of smugness, Jiang Wan opened the wardrobe again.

Upon seeing this, Lin Mu immediately began to scrutinize her with great interest.

"What? You can't bear to part with me?"

Jiang Wan ignored her and, blushing, took out all her underwear from the closet.

"Is it necessary? Do I look like that kind of person?!"

Jiang Wan hid her underwear behind her back and looked directly into Lin Mu's eyes.

"Lin Mu, I'm warning you, if you dare peek while I'm changing clothes, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

"Tch, it's not like we haven't seen it before."

Lin Mu muttered something under his breath.

Jiang Wan frowned slightly.

"What are you muttering about?"

"It's nothing."

Lin Mu rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, I promise I won't peek."

"Bang!"

The cabinet door was closed again.

Not long after, the rustling sound of clothes being taken off could be heard outside the closet.

Inside the closet, Lin Mu rested leisurely on Jiang Wan's dress, her heart completely unmoved.

"Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan, I'm starting to miss the days we spent together."

Lin Mu stared meaningfully at the cabinet door, as if scrutinizing Jiang Wan through it.

How can I possibly win you over in this lifetime?

……

Outside the cabinet door.

Jiang Wan stared warily at the cabinet door, afraid that Lin Mu would peek through a crack.

Only after changing her clothes did Jiang Wan carefully tuck her underwear into the quilt.

Before leaving, she glanced deeply at the wardrobe, then strode downstairs.

"Mom, I'm here!"

In the sweltering summer of 2009, the sky outside the window was cloudless, and the air was thick with heat.

Although the air conditioning was on in the villa, it didn't really concern Lin Mu.

For the next six hours, Lin Mu stayed in the closet like he was in a sauna. The stuffy closet made it impossible for him to even stretch his legs out.

The only good news is that it smells really good.

Downstairs, however, the scene was completely different from inside the wardrobe, with the cheerful laughter of Jiang Wan and her daughter frequently heard.

After some time, the aroma of stir-fried dishes wafted up.

"Oh shit."

Lin Mu was no longer as composed as before; he felt uncomfortable all over.

It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that it was one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Xiao Wan, Mom made an appointment with Aunt Wang and the others to go to the beauty salon. She won't be back until tonight."

"Okay, Mom, be careful on the road!"

Jiang Wan obediently escorted Song Muwan to the living room door.

With a bang, the villa finally fell silent.

Second-floor bedroom.

Jiang Wan walked quickly to the wardrobe and pulled open the door.

"My mom's gone, you..."

"thump!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Mu tumbled straight out and landed awkwardly at Jiang Wan's feet.

"Wow—my legs...are so white..."

Lin Mu clutched his numb legs in pain.

But when he looked up and saw a pair of delicate, fair, long legs, he immediately forgot his pain.

Noticing Lin Mu's intense gaze, Jiang Wan subconsciously pulled the blanket over her legs and then quietly looked at the man sitting on the carpet.

Seeing that he couldn't see any long legs, Lin Mu rolled around in agony again.

It took Lin Mu a full five minutes to recover before he could barely stand up, supporting himself on the bed.

After standing up, he patted his trouser leg and looked up into Jiang Wan's eyes.

"Jiang Wan, now it's time to settle our scores."

Jiang Wan closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she raised her head and looked directly into Lin Mu's eyes, nodding gently.

"Okay, you do the math."

Seeing Jiang Wan compromise, Lin Mu immediately pointed to the teeth marks on his neck.

"I won't even mention carrying you back from the karaoke bar, since I was the one who got you drunk. But last night, when I carried you back to the room, you bit me. How do you plan to settle that?"

Jiang Wan stared at the red mark on Lin Mu's neck, and finally nodded with her lips pursed.

"Okay, considering you helped me before, I'll admit it. Not only that, I'll admit it too, I'll admit it for making you stay cooped up in the closet for hours."

Upon hearing Jiang Wan's words, Lin Mu raised an eyebrow.

"When did this little rascal become so easy to talk to?"

"but."

Jiang Wan then said, "I want you to forget what happened today and last night, and you're not allowed to mention it to anyone. If you agree to that, I can hear your conditions."

"it is good."

Lin Mu readily agreed.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Tell me your conditions.

Lin Mu took a step closer to her, revealing an innocent smile.

"I, Lin Mu, never do business at a loss."

He began to openly stare at Jiang Wan's long legs.

"I want you..."
