It was his gentle demeanor that directly caused Lan Luo across from him to be shocked, eyes wide open.
Simultaneously, he began to question in his heart, is this still the Lin Mubai he knows, his cousin?
Before he could remain astonished, Han Xiayang and Xi Shaoqi each took an arm and started dragging him forward: "Young Master Lan, don’t stand there looking dumb in the hall; it’s really embarrassing, you know." Han Xiayang spoke with a tone full of disdain.
And the person being disdained instantly cursed back: "Get lost."
The person being cursed at wasn’t angry at all, still teasing with a grin: "I’m not getting lost; if I do, it’ll be tomorrow. Let me enjoy tonight first before we talk about it." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel✶fire.net
As Han Xiayang finished speaking, he quickly moved forward, catching up to Lin Mubai and An Nan who were walking ahead, though what he was most interested in was Little Jia You.
Meanwhile, the smile on Xi Shaoqi’s face, trailing behind, started to fade into seriousness after Han Xiayang departed: "Lan Luo, I’ve known An Nan for many years. I know what kind of person she is, and she’s definitely not what you’re imagining. I hope tonight you can open your heart and take an earnest look." After saying that, he quickly caught up to the group walking ahead, leaving Lan Luo by himself to stroll behind.
"Is that so?" He wasn’t clear in his heart now, but the only thing he could be sure of was that ever since he met An Nan, many of his previous thoughts had changed. However, what that exactly was, he’d have to wait and see.
The group inside the private room had already grown impatient, and the moment Lin Mubai pushed open the door, everyone started teasing collectively: "Oh my, Young Master Lin, what’s up with you? You never used to be this late for gatherings; could it be you have a beauty with you, and even kings no longer attend morning court?"
Lan Xinxixi, as his sister, never lagged behind when teasing this cousin of hers.
Lin Mubai’s first reaction was to check the reactions of the people around him, and only when he noticed that An Nan was not angry did he let down his guard and retorted: "Lan Xinxixi, if you don’t plan on getting married in this lifetime, just say it straight out. There’s no need to glance left and right."
Just a moment ago, Lan Xinxixi was all riled up, but upon hearing this, she instantly deflated: "Damn bastard, always using that to threaten me. I curse you to never find a wife."
After she finished speaking, she quickly hopped over to An Nan for refuge: "Nannan, long time no see, how have you been lately?"
While speaking, she didn’t forget to whisk her away from someone’s side. An Nan, unaware of the other party’s intent, replied with a gentle smile, answering earnestly: "I’m quite well; have you been busy lately?" Ever since knowing this woman is a cop, An Nan had high regards for her. She also liked Lan Xinxixi’s personality, who, despite being a fortunate official daughter, chose to live a fervently passionate life.
After steering her away, Lan Xinxixi didn’t forget to cast a triumphant look in someone’s direction. Previously, she wouldn’t dare oppose this scheming cousin of hers, afraid of getting trashed to the point her parents wouldn’t recognize her. But now it was different. He had a weakness. If her guess was correct, the woman next to her was Young Master Lin’s biggest, most fatal Achilles’ heel. Just thinking about it made Lan Xinxixi feel like she would laugh herself awake in her dreams at night.
