CHAPTER 27: CHAPTER 27: AN NAN IS ANGRY

An Nan finally walked into a cufflinks shop, where the cufflinks were usually custom-made, with few repeats. An Nan decided to choose a gift here; she didn’t want to trouble herself any further.

After wandering around the shop, An Nan finally found a pair of cufflinks she liked.

They were a pair of purple diamond cufflinks, which didn’t quite match Xi Shaoqi, but An Nan liked them, so she decided on them.

"Wrap up this pair of cufflinks."

Before An Nan could speak, a loud female voice rang in her ears. Immediately, she saw the clerk taking out the pair of purple diamond cufflinks she fancied from the glass display and preparing to wrap them. An Nan quickly spoke to stop him, "I saw them first."

After speaking, she turned her head to look beside her: a handsome man and a beautiful woman. She didn’t recognize the man, yet her gaze couldn’t help but linger on him for a moment before landing on the woman next to him. She looked somewhat familiar, but An Nan couldn’t remember where she had seen her before.

Forget about it; now is not the time to think about these things. The most important thing is to negotiate with these two in front of her to let her have the cufflinks. She really doesn’t have the energy to wander the mall again to choose a gift.

An Nan lowered her eyes, calculating in her heart how she should speak, completely unaware of the odd expressions of the two people before her.

Lin Mubai’s eyes were burning with light while also carrying a hint of surprise. Found without a hitch—the person he’s been searching for over half a month appeared unexpectedly before him. No matter what, he can’t let her slip away from him again.

But the current situation left him troubled. If he told the woman now that he was the man from her one-night stand, she would surely disdain him as a playboy. It seems the matter requires a long-term plan. If he really can’t make her take responsibility, he’ll deceive her into marriage. As long as he gets her home, she’s his, and no one would care what method he uses.

Beside Lin Mubai, Huo Bingxuan was glaring coldly at the old woman before her. She will not forget that it was this woman who embarrassed her at Xi Shaoqi’s birthday party that day. Today, she is determined not to let her go easily.

A poor woman dares to come to such a shop to buy things? How arrogant. Fine, since she made her so humiliated that day, today she will make her feel even more embarrassed.

Thinking about this, Huo Bingxuan’s beautiful eyes flashed with a smile, every gesture fitting the demeanor of a distinguished lady. An Nan lowered her head and heard a somewhat sharp female voice in her ears: "Miss An, seeing you here makes me really happy."

When An Nan heard her name being accurately called out, she suddenly raised her head and stared at the other party puzzledly. This beautiful woman knew her surname was An, so she might actually know her—great. It’s easier to handle things with someone familiar. An Nan quickly stated her purpose: "Hello miss, I wonder if I could discuss something with you."

Huo Bingxuan continued to maintain her high posture. She believed that only such an elegant demeanor could match the cool and refined man beside her. Since realizing she liked him, she always worked hard to cultivate herself into a woman worthy of him.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she never appeared in his sight. Take today for instance; if Grandpa Lin hadn’t asked him to accompany her to pick up the cufflinks she had ordered before, he certainly wouldn’t have come.
