Unable to break free, An Nan felt a surge of anger in her heart and simply gave up struggling. She stood still, glaring at the other person: "Lin Mubai, what on earth are you doing?"
"What?" An Nan looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.
"You usually call me Little White." There was a noticeable awkwardness in that tone, which was amusing, and An Nan did indeed burst into laughter. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI(F)ire.net
"Haha." An Nan’s laughter rose and fell, full of ups and downs.
Seeing the mimicry of the woman in front of him, Lin Mubai immediately gritted his teeth in frustration: "Woman, if you dare to laugh out even a little bit, don’t regret it."
"Hahaha." With that, An Nan not only laughed but laughed loudly and heartily, finally laughing herself into stitches.
"Cough cough, Little White...your...awkward look...is really cute."
"Cute, is it?" Lin Mubai’s gloomy expression gradually turned eerie, and this caused a sense of crisis to slowly arise in An Nan’s heart. The next moment, she turned to flee, but Lin Mubai quickly grabbed her, a mischievous and lonely smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "Run? Where do you plan to run?"
"No, I’m not. I’m just sleepy and want to go to bed." An Nan said while pretending to yawn, hoping that this little man would have a conscience and see her exhausted appearance, and temporarily let her go.
In fact, An Nan’s complexion was indeed not good. After flying for more than ten hours, it would be a miracle if she looked fine, and Lin Mubai had already noticed it. But just thinking about how this woman didn’t come home to adjust her time after work and instead went to dinner with a man made him angry. He felt that she brought all this on herself and got even angrier the more he thought about it. In the midst of her surprised gaze, he leaned down, and after that, the room fell into silence.
An Nan initially widened her eyes in shock and then began to struggle. Lin Mubai continued to hold her tightly without giving her a chance to break free. Until the person in his arms was out of breath, he finally released one hand, and with a commanding tone, declared to the person in his embrace: "Nannan, every word I’m saying now is not a joke, nor will I give you a chance to refuse. I like you, really, really like you, or rather, love you wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Did you hear me?"
She heard it, of course she heard it, and was shocked at the same time that he actually liked her. As she snapped out of the shock, besides the secret joy, An Nan felt a bit confused, not knowing how to make a decision. Although she had an answer in her heart before returning to the country, when the moment truly came, she hesitated: "I am three years older than you."
This issue had been bothering her for quite some time.
"I know I’m older than you, but I don’t mind." Lin Mubai said, pulling An Nan to the bathroom mirror, holding her tightly from behind. Then his voice became incredibly decisive, his gaze locked onto the eyes in the mirror that kept avoiding. He said word by word: "Look, where exactly do I look younger than you? Besides, during the time we’ve lived together, it seems I’ve been the one taking care of you more often."
With Lin Mubai saying this, An Nan thought to herself, it indeed seemed that way. Whenever she’s home, he takes care of the meals. Even with her clothes, a lot of times, he helped with that too, not to mention the household chores. She hadn’t done things herself for a long time.
