Just like that, Xi Shaoqi and Han Xiayang braved Third Young Master Xi’s displeased glare, ready to linger at An Nan’s place for the afternoon.
Until six in the evening, Xi Shaoqi’s phone rang: "Third Young Master Xi, where are you? Where are you?" Lan Luo’s excited voice came through the phone.
Holding the phone, Xi Shaoqi wisely moved it away from his ear before the other person started talking, waiting for the excited voice to pass before putting it back to his ear, his indifferent voice transmitted through the phone: "We’re already at An Nan’s house, we..."
Before Xi Shaoqi could finish his sentence, the person on the other end of the line excitedly interrupted: "Ahhh, you and Xia Yang are at An Nan’s house, then why didn’t you call me, why didn’t you call me..."
"Shut up..." Xi Shaoqi bellowed, having reached his limit, making the other end finally quiet down. He then continued to speak into the phone: "Are you all there?"
"I’m already here, they’ll be here shortly, when are you guys arriving?"
"Got it, I’ll ask them, wait for us."
After hanging up, Xi Shaoqi turned to the people in the living room and said: "Get ready to head out, they’re all there."
"Wait, Jiayou and I will change clothes." Being about to go out for dinner, this casual home attire indeed felt inappropriate, An Nan said before she and the child walked back to the room.
After An Nan left, Han Xiayang and Xi Shaoqi’s uneasy gazes met Lin Mubai’s serious face.
The latter was filled with helplessness: "Just say what you have in mind."
"Mu Bai, tell us how far things have gone," Xi Shaoqi asked with a smile, though his heart felt bitter. Thıs text ıs hosted at novelꜰire.net
From the moment he entered this room, he noticed the warmth exuded from everywhere in the house, unmistakably reflecting a harmonious sense of male and female cohabitation that made his already aching heart even harder to express with words. One is his good brother, the other is someone he cares about, and he doesn’t want to hurt either.
Moreover, he was well aware of the rules in their circle; for gatherings , they usually wouldn’t bring a random woman along. If they did, it must be someone very important. Now that Lin Mubai was willing to bring An Nan along, it already indicated the fundamental truth, and he just wanted to hear a fact to completely give up.
No matter how well he hid it, Lin Mubai clearly sensed something was off with him, slightly furrowing his brows, extinguishing the other’s last hope: "We’re doing great now, and I swear I’ll make Nannan happy for a lifetime, even if it means hurting myself, I won’t hurt her."
"Hmm, remember what you said today."
Just as Xi Shaoqi finished speaking, he saw the figure emerging from the master bedroom. In the living room, the gazes of the three men were instantly drawn over. An Nan rarely wore brightly colored clothes, but today she suddenly donned a bright red coat, changing her entire style, maintaining a girl’s gentle beauty while preserving her usual flair, making it impossible for the three men to look away.
Even though she’s not an absolute beauty, it’s precisely this version of her that makes people pay more attention. Lin Mubai even felt a twinge of jealousy in his heart, starting to not want this woman to go out tonight, wanting to lock her at home forever.
Under the unblinking gaze of the three men, An Nan walked over in confusion: "Is there a problem?"
