This is also why he came to pick her up; he can’t do much for her, just being there is enough.
Lin Junyang, Chen Yankun, and Sun Wangbei were joking around as they got into Sun Wangbei’s car.
"Second Brother spoils that little girl like no other. I tell you, I’ve never seen anyone spoil a woman so much," Sun Wangbei said while driving and recalling his first encounter with An Ran.
"Pfft..." Lin Junyang burst out laughing, "I experienced that too. Second Brother once said that Tuzi treats him like a father, but I actually think it’s more like he treats Tuzi as his daughter."
"Absolutely," Chen Yankun nodded in agreement from the side.
"Oh, by the way, the day after tomorrow we’re having our company’s annual party. If you guys have time, come and liven things up."
"Got to make it to Fourth Brother’s company’s annual party, right? Will there be those... you know, those celebs?" Lin Junyang tapped his forehead, trying hard to remember the names of those stars.
"What do you mean those celebs? All the artists under Jiawen Entertainment who aren’t busy will be there. You can pick anyone you like," Sun Wangbei flirtatiously batted an eye at Lin Junyang, his flamboyant manner almost unbearable to look at.
"As if I need that! When I stand there, I’ll outshine all the top stars in your company. Those female artists will be falling over themselves," Lin Junyang said proudly, lifting his chin slightly.
"Seriously though, Fifth Brother, with your looks, if Fourth Brother got you a top-notch manager and packaged you well, you’d be a superstar by tomorrow. What do you say, Fifth Brother? Quit the army and join us," Sun Wangbei suggested, his eyes filled with calculation as he looked through the rearview mirror.
"Forget it, compared to you, I still prefer to hang out with Second Brother," Lin Junyang gave him a disdainful look and relaxed back into his seat.
Chen Yankun couldn’t help but laugh, watching the two bicker reminded him of the good times they had together.
An Ran opened her eyes; it was already bright outside, and the playful sunshine was bouncing through the heavy curtains.
She turned and saw that he was already gone, feeling a wave of relief. She really feared waking up to yesterday’s scene again. If that happened, she might have to tie herself up next time she slept.
She got out of bed, lifting the covers, and upon taking a step, realized she stepped on the pant cuffs. Mu Xingfeng, this guy—his shirt was big enough that she could wear it as a nightgown, yet he insisted she wear a full set of pajamas, and those long pant legs—such a hassle.
An Ran impatiently slid her feet out of the pajama pants, just as the bedroom door opened. She looked up and met Mu Xingfeng’s deep eyes.
Mu Xingfeng glanced at the pajama pants on the floor and then at her bare, snowy white legs. His throat moved slightly—this girl, always setting his heart on fire.
He made her dress more modestly last night, just to avoid a repeat of the previous night’s torture. But despite being fully dressed, she still managed to roll over to his side in the middle of the night. With her warm, soft body next to him, he couldn’t sleep a wink, so he got up to take a cold shower and went to the study to handle some company paperwork.
An Ran, noticing Mu Xingfeng’s slight embarrassment, chuckled dryly and picked up the pajama pants, walking over to him on her bare feet, "Instructor Mu, these pants are way too long. Honestly, your shirt alone works perfectly fine as a dress. There’s no need to wear these pants."
