"Mr. Lin, I’m sorry, there’s only one room left now."
How could this happen?
An Nan’s face briefly showed a hint of awkwardness. The fact was, they both liked each other, but staying together —wouldn’t it be inappropriate?
An Nan was internally struggling, not knowing how to decide. A refreshing male voice continued in her ear, "Then give the room to us."
From the lobby on the first floor up to the room upstairs, An Nan kept her head down. If she raised her head right now, she would certainly notice the unnatural blush on her cheeks. Lin Mubai, originally wanting to tease her with this situation, refrained because there was an outsider. Her skin was thin, after all. But there would be plenty of opportunities in the future; no rush.
Tonight, it was hard enough to get her to share a room with him. If he upset her now and she ran away, he’d be the one crying.
The waiter led them to the room door, then wisely turned and left.
Before leaving, the look she gave An Nan was strange, and she even seemed to feel sorry for the man beside her.
An Nan, already in a foul mood, felt a surge of anger, fiercely glared at a certain man, secretly cursed, "You troublemaker," and strode into the room, slamming the door behind her without caring if it might hit the man following.
Following her, Lin Mubai quickly used his hand to stop the door, which almost hit his nose, witnessing her fierceness. If he had been a bit distracted, there might have been blood flowing by now.
Shaking his head helplessly, he continued to follow inside.
When An Nan heard the door close behind her, she began to feel tense all over. Then, when her eyes landed on the single king-size bed in the room, her cheeks flushed so much they could cook an egg.
"What to do? What should I do? What on earth should we do tonight?"
At this moment, An Nan’s head was a mess, her limbs at a loss for where to go. Google seaʀᴄh N()velFire.net
Despite being 28, in the world of emotions, she might not be more advanced than a young teenage girl. Previously, the reason she could interact comfortably with Lin Mubai was that, at that time, she treated him as a younger brother. But now, it’s different. She’s aware that he likes her, and her feelings for him are quite complex. Under such circumstances, she can’t face things openly, especially now, with just the two of them in a room.
Lin Mubai was clever. From the little actions of this woman, he understood her current inner thoughts without pointing them out. He headed to the bathroom, saying as he walked, "I’m feeling a bit dizzy. I’ll take a shower first. I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight; you take the bed."
Even after the sound of rushing water came from the bathroom, An Nan still stood in place, unable to gather her thoughts for a long time.
After a while, the corner of her mouth curved up gently, her heart filled with sweetness.
Meeting such a man who knows how to respect her, what is there to feel awkward about? Little by little, An Nan’s heart started to lean toward Lin Mubai, just short of the final step. Judging by how things were going, it seemed it would happen soon.
Meanwhile, in the same bathroom, Lin Mubai sighed helplessly, looking down at a certain place for a long time. "Be good, hold on a bit more, I’ll feed you well." He thought.
