Seeing the childlike manner of the woman beside him, Lin Mubai smiled indulgently. It was this smile that caused the surroundings to burst into excitement. An Nan glared at him dissatisfied again: "Don’t smile anymore."
Lin Mubai quickly pulled back the curve at the corner of his mouth, and with a cold gaze sweeping around, it quieted down immediately.
However, such quiet did not last long. With new passengers boarding, the two of them once again became the focal point of everyone’s attention, and there were even people pointing at them.
Eventually, An Nan just couldn’t endure it anymore, grabbed him, and got off mid-way.
Standing by the road, Lin Mubai looked baffled: "Nannan, we haven’t arrived yet, why did we get off the bus?"
An Nan rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to explain anything.
Lin Mubai realized something and quickly changed the subject: "Nannan, what should we do now?"
"Let’s take a taxi there, no more buses." Not just for this time, An Nan was done with buses for good.
Seeing the woman’s face didn’t look too good, Lin Mubai didn’t dare say much.
The two hailed a cab and continued towards their destination.
The car stopped at the shopping mall entrance. An Nan looked at the man beside her with confusion: "What are we doing here?" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel-fire.net
"Let’s eat first and then watch a movie, okay, or do you want to go somewhere else?" Having hardly ever dated, Lin Mubai genuinely didn’t know where ordinary people would go for a date, and the same was true for An Nan. So the two stood at the mall entrance, staring at each other.
Ultimately, Lin Mubai made the final decision: "Let’s go in and find a place to eat first. After we eat, if you think of anywhere you want to go, we’ll go there; if not, we’ll just watch a movie, okay."
An Nan nodded, knowing it was the best plan.
The shopping mall these days is an all-in-one place for dining, recreation, and more, and this was the first time either of them had come to such a place; as they walked in, all they felt was the crowd.
Looking at the mall directory, Lin Mubai suggested: "Let’s go to the fifth floor."
"Sure, the elevator is over there."
"Do you see anything you want to eat?"
"How about hotpot?" The sight of the fiery image made An Nan’s mouth almost water, all the while she didn’t notice the man’s mouth twist beside her — hotpot?! Could it not be? But it was clear it couldn’t; seeing the little woman’s drooling look, he swallowed back the rejection already on the tip of his tongue.
"Then let’s go." Lin Mubai’s voice held a trace of hesitation, which An Nan didn’t catch; all her attention was now on the hotpot.
Today was a weekday, moreover midday, so the hotpot restaurant wasn’t very crowded, thus An Nan and Lin Mubai easily found a seat.
This time, Lin Mubai learned to be smart; from start to finish, he wore an expression of indifference, causing those women who were interested in him not to dare to openly gaze or comment anymore, even the server paid as much attention to An Nan as possible. Mainly because Young Master Lin’s aura was overwhelmingly cold, which delighted An Nan considerably.
"Miss, do you need to order anything? You can just tick off items at the back of the menu."
An Nan ordered a lot of dishes in one go before handing the menu to the man across from her: "See if there’s anything you want to eat?"
