Thinking of this, An Nan furrowed her brows once more. It seemed she still didn’t know what this man actually did for a living. She just saw him wandering around in front of her every day, and she truly forgot to ask him about his work.
Her hesitant gaze lingered on his back for a moment. She wanted to ask, but ultimately swallowed her words back down. They weren’t anything more than friends at most; what right did she have to pursue his private matters? Thinking of this, An Nan’s good mood that morning dissipated instantly, and even on the way to the airport afterward, she quietly watched the scenery outside the window without saying a word.
Lin Mubai saw this and couldn’t quite understand what was wrong with her, so he simply didn’t speak either. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel-fire.ɴet
At the entrance of the airport hall, just as An Nan was about to get out, Lin Mubai reached out from the driver’s seat to grab her wrist. When she turned back in confusion and met his gaze, he said very seriously, "Nannan, take some time in the next few days to think about being my girlfriend. I’ll wait for you to come back and tell me your answer."
"I..." Inside An Nan’s heart, there was shock, a sense of being at a loss, and even a faint trace of delight.
Lin Mubai continued with a subtle, gentle smile: "It’s alright, you don’t have to tell me now. I’ll wait at home for you to come back."
This was the best approach. An Nan knew she couldn’t give him an answer now. She nodded quietly, then got out of the car and left.
Sitting in the car, Lin Mubai waited until her figure was no longer visible before driving away.
What he didn’t know was, just as he drove off, the moment that An Nan, who had already walked far, suddenly appeared from around the corner. She watched in the direction his car drove with a complex expression in her eyes.
Out of nowhere, there was a handsome figure beside An Nan, and it was only the chatter of the surrounding people that brought her attention back.
"Qi Yi, what are you doing here?" An Nan asked in surprise.
"I’ve been waiting for you." Zhan Qiyi’s voice was calm, devoid of any excess emotion.
"Waiting for me, is there something?"
"Let’s go first." As he spoke, Zhan Qiyi walked ahead, signaling An Nan to follow.
As their figures disappeared from everyone’s view, the crowd finally snapped back to reality.
"Wow, that woman just now seems to be Vince Airlines’ only female captain."
"Yes, yes, I saw her last time, it’s definitely her. The handsome man beside her, I’ve seen him in the newspapers too, that’s the chief CEO of this airline. I wonder what’s their relationship; my woman’s intuition tells me that CEO likes that female captain."
"Haha, I feel the same, I actually took a photo just now."
"Really? Show me quickly."
As soon as the words were spoken, several figures swiftly crowded in, showered with exclamations.
"Wow, they look so good together."
"Indeed, indeed, that female captain may not be a top beauty, but her aura is impeccable. Walking with that CEO, they really match well. I wonder if they’re actually a couple. Haha, I follow that CEO on Weibo, I’m definitely sending this photo to ask later."
"Sure, sure, let us know once you find out." Though the words were said, people knew well this was nothing but a joke. A mighty boss surely wouldn’t have the spare time to answer such a question.
