The more she thought about it, the more An Nan felt guilty in her heart, and she didn’t dare to meet the eyes of her reflection in the mirror.
Lin Mubai noticed the slight signs of her wavering and felt a surge of joy in his heart. He pressed on, "Nannan, I like you, I really like you. I love you. Will you be my girlfriend? I will treat you well, very well." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel⸺fire.net
Just the word ’I’ came out, but An Nan couldn’t bring herself to say ’I do’ for a long time. It wasn’t that she was unwilling, but thinking about the responsibilities on her shoulders made her hesitate. Could she have her own happiness? Even she wasn’t confident.
Besides, how long could this man behind her accompany her? The truth was she was three years older than him. When she turned thirty, he would only be twenty-seven, the prime of a man’s life. By then, would he still treat her the same? If not, what would she do then?
Finally, just as Lin Mubai was about to lose patience, he heard the soft voice of the little woman in his arms, "Let me think about it, okay? I..."
Lin Mubai unwillingly wanted to continue pressing her, but when he looked up and saw the tired eyes in the mirror, the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back fiercely: "Okay, I’ll give you seven days, only seven days. After seven days, I must get an answer."
Lin Mubai’s voice was resolute, and he had another steadfast answer in his heart: even if he received a rejection after seven days, he would not give up. He would relentlessly pursue her until this little woman agreed to be with him. He finally liked someone, how could he let go so easily?
Just as Lin Mubai was continuing to fantasize in his heart, the little woman in his arms suddenly pushed him away, quickly ran out of the bathroom, and dashed into the master bedroom. She was so fast he couldn’t react, and at the same time, he heard the sound of the door locking. What did this mean? The man still standing in front of the mirror looked at the closed door, then at his reflection, completely helpless. Was he a monster?
To say he wasn’t disappointed would be a lie. The first time he pursued a girl, it ended in failure, which would cause anyone’s heart to feel a slight disappointment. Although there was no direct rejection, avoiding it was practically a refusal, wasn’t it? With a dim mood, Lin Mubai returned to the sofa in the bedroom and sat down, hugging a throw pillow in his arms, his dark eyes staring unblinkingly at the door to the master bedroom until he heard the familiar ringtone from his phone in his pocket.
"Hello, who is it?" Without even glancing at the screen, Lin Mubai answered directly.
A familiar male voice quickly came from the other end of the phone, "Mu Bai, are you free tonight? If not, let’s play some cards, we’re one short."
Xi Shaoqi didn’t hold any hope for this call, yet the other’s response took him by surprise, "Sure, where?" Lin Mubai’s eyes still stared in the direction of the master bedroom door.
After the shock, Xi Shaoqi hurriedly reported his location, "Champs Elysees, sixth floor, private room 666. We’re waiting for you."
After hanging up, Xi Shaoqi turned to report to the people in the private room with a face full of shock, "Young Master Lin said he’ll be here soon. What’s going on tonight? Didn’t he always dislike such occasions?"
