CHAPTER 143: CHAPTER 143: HOW TO DEAL WITH LIN MUBAI
More than anything, she was curious about the identity of this mysterious woman.
In their circle, men typically play mahjong with different women. Most often, the situation is that men play cards while women merely observe from the side. Even though she enjoys touching a couple of mahjong tiles herself, she has always been conscious not to join the mahjong table at these gatherings.
So who is this woman currently sitting at the mahjong table? Not only can she sit at the same table with Mu Bai, but her presence is also unignorable. Truly intriguing.
Preaching aside, Xi Shaoqi always spoils this little sister. Who could blame him; she is the only girl of the Xi Family. Noticing her curious gaze frequently land on An Nan, he proactively introduced the two: "Yu’er, this is An Nan."
Once Xi Shaoqi mentioned An Nan, the expression on Xi Yu’s face was instantly replaced with admiration. She quickly popped out from behind her boyfriend and excitedly approached the other, saying, "Sister Nannan, you are Sister Nannan! I’ve heard Brother talk about you countless times, but I have never seen you in person all these years. I am so happy to meet you. I am Xi Yu."
An Nan had always found such enthusiastic people unbearable. Yet the girl in front of her didn’t evoke any dislike; in fact, she felt some affection toward her, causing her to lift the corners of her mouth slightly in a smile: "Hello, I’m An Nan."
However, the next words from the girl caused her smile to freeze on her face: "Sister Nannan, could you secretly tell me how you managed to win over Brother Mubai?"
"Uh, I..." Under the gaze of the crowd and Lin Mubai’s half-smirking look, An Nan stiffened, unsure how to respond. If not for the fact that the person asking was a little woman she liked, she would have already scoffed dismissively, saying, "What business is it of yours?" But this girl made her feel good and was the younger sister of her good friend Xi Shaoqi, so she couldn’t do that.
Standing aside, Lin Mubai watched her dilemma clearly, yet didn’t offer any help, instead adding fuel to the fire: "Yu’er, don’t make trouble. Your Sister Nannan hasn’t won me over. Clearly, I’ve been pursuing her, and she hasn’t agreed yet."
With Lin Mubai’s words, another wave was instantly stirred up.
An Nan suddenly lifted her head, eyes wide in disbelief as she glared at him, whereas others began to stir trouble.
"Nannan, well done, keep it up." This bold remark came from Lin Mubai’s elder sister, Lan Xinxixi, who also realized something, which is that her brother hasn’t won over An Nan yet. As for how he managed to trick her into going home last time, she definitely would have to ask him thoroughly afterward.
Of course, these weren’t problems at all. Based on her years of experience with dealing with Lin Mubai, a sneaky and cunning bastard with a frighteningly high IQ, anyone caught in his sights would struggle in vain, ultimately unable to escape. After all, in the end, they’d become part of the family anyway, so why not exercise her prerogative to bring them home ahead of schedule?
This alone showed that Lan Xinxixi and Lin Mubai were indeed blood-related, as their thought processes were identical.
The moment Lan Xinxixi’s words fell, Lin Mubai’s immediate glare swept over, carrying a subtle warning upon noticing the displeased gaze of a certain little woman.
However, his warning wasn’t directed at the person in question but at the man beside her: "I was planning to speak to my uncle these days. I’m not sure whether he has changed his views on military personnel."
