CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: STRANGE ATMOSPHERE (3)

Just half a month ago, on the day after Xi Shaoqi’s birthday, Young Master Lin came to the company in a fit of anger and immediately asked him to investigate An Nan’s whereabouts. His temper was unpredictable for the following two weeks, only getting better today.

Based on the timeline and comparison, something must have happened between the two of them half a month ago. But why did that woman look so unfamiliar when she saw my good brother? Is she pretending? That’s impossible. To pretend like this, she could win an Oscar.

Forget it, no point in overthinking. When the time comes, I’ll naturally find out what I want to know.

He lifted his wrist to indicate to the person beside him that it was getting late, meaning your woman should have dinner.

A good man who cherishes his woman would never let her go hungry.

Subsequently, Young Master Lin’s actions did not disappoint Han Xiayang.

Lin Mubai came to the mahjong table and casually reminded, "It’s getting late, and I’m a bit hungry."

The world can go hungry, but not Young Master Lin. The whole group immediately stopped playing mahjong and started preparing to move to a new venue.

Lin Mubai fell to the back of the group, conveniently walking beside An Nan.

As soon as she lifted her head, she saw the handsome face she couldn’t stop thinking about. An Nan suddenly recalled a dream from last night, her ears turning red as she quickly averted her gaze: "Thanks for yesterday, so you’re Shaoqi’s friend."

"Yeah, we grew up together." While speaking, Lin Mubai noticed all the reactions of the woman by his side. Seeing her rosy, delicate earlobes, the curve of his mouth lifted again. It turns out she’s not entirely unaffected by him; this is a good sign, needing further pursuit.

Along the way, the two didn’t exchange any more words.

But the sight of them walking side by side still caught the eyes of others. This time, everyone began to realize one thing in their hearts: Young Master Lin has taken a liking to An Nan, and they need to keep an absolute safe distance from this woman.

Otherwise, if one day Young Master Lin is angered for the sake of a beauty, they won’t even know how they died.

Upon entering the dining box, everyone naturally left two adjacent seats for Young Master Lin and An Nan. Following at the end, An Nan saw the only remaining seat, with the handsome man on her left and Xi Shaoqi on her right. Her mouth twitched slightly. Under Xi Shaoqi’s beckoning, she awkwardly stepped forward. Within just a few steps, she’d already cursed everyone in her heart multiple times.

A bunch of bored troublemakers, with nothing better to do than make random pairings.

Forget it, better finish this dinner early and leave. She never wants to dine with these people again, or she’ll end up with a stomach ulcer.

An Nan ate the meal without really tasting it.

With Xi Shaoqi’s attentive care, she put down her chopsticks after eating just a little, drawing a series of surprised looks from those around her.

"Nannan, aren’t these all your favorites? I remember you usually eat almost half. Why did you eat so little today?"

Xi Shaoqi’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone in the box to hear.

The surroundings instantly fell silent, not even the sound of chopsticks hitting porcelain could be heard.

An Nan just felt her face heat up, internally cursing Xi Shaoqi, that dumb pig, countless times. What he said was true, but why did he have to say it so loudly? It’s not like eating a lot should be broadcasted to the whole world.
