From time to time, a voice of protest came from the living room: "Little White, is your meal ready or not? I’m starving."
Ever since meeting this man, An Nan’s icy demeanor had become increasingly rare. She was still her professional self at work, but at home, she was just a mischievous and gluttonous little woman.
The hands continued their tasks, not forgetting to respond to the little woman in the living room: "Almost done, come and help bring the dishes."
As soon as the words were spoken, the pair who were lounging on the sofa in the living room squeezed into the kitchen.
The three of them worked together to bring Lin Mubai’s cooked dishes out from the kitchen. Looking at the table full of food, An Jiayou gave Lin Mubai a thumbs up, his fondness for this man growing more and more: "Not bad, not bad, I didn’t expect a young master like you to handle the kitchen."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mubai felt somewhat smug while also grateful for his impulsiveness during his student years: "Well, that was when I was studying in the United States. After a while, I got tired of the food there and started to learn to cook myself. Over time, my skills became quite polished."
"You’re pretty impressive too. An Nan also tried to learn how to cook, but until today, her skills are still..." Before An Jiayou could finish, his mouth was stuffed with a piece of rib, and An Nan’s unnatural voice followed: "Can’t the delicious food keep your mouth shut? Hurry up and eat." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveIＦire.net
In the next moment, the two men shared a look, completely understanding each other.
The three of them had a joyful dinner, completely forgetting about Xi Shaoqi, whom they had abandoned.
Xi Shaoqi drove from the airport to An Nan’s place. Despite knowing her for so long, he had never visited her home, so today was a good opportunity he didn’t want to miss. However, just as he parked the car, before he could speak, Lin Mubai’s voice reached him first: "Shaoqi, thank you for bringing us back."
An Nan’s voice followed from behind: "I’m so tired. Once I get back, I definitely need to catch up on sleep. Thank you, Shaoqi. Goodbye."
After speaking, An Nan and An Jiayou each opened a car door and got out, followed by Lin Mubai, who also got out after them. Then, Xi Shaoqi watched helplessly as the three of them walked away, feeling deflated as he stepped on the gas and drove off.
After dinner, An Nan went straight to her room to catch up on sleep, leaving the two outside glaring at each other.
After glaring for a while, An Jiayou was about to open the door in front of him and walk in when the man beside him grabbed his collar: "What are you doing?"
The other didn’t mind as he turned and answered him: "You took over my room, I have nowhere to sleep. I’m not sleeping with An Nan tonight."
"No way." Lin Mubai shouted without thinking.
Then he grabbed the kid’s collar and led him to the room beside: "You’re sleeping with me tonight, no, we’ll share a room from now on."
After all, she was his little woman, and he couldn’t let other men get too close — not even a brat of twelve years old.
The kid being dragged into the room glared uncomfortably at Lin Mubai, who was leaning against the door frame, full of disdain: "Who wants to sleep with you? I’m sleeping on the bed, you on the sofa, or I’ll go sleep with An Nan."
The threat in his tone was unapologetically clear.
