An Nan still wanted to ask where they had met before, but Lin Mubai had already called over the waiter to pay the bill.
"Didn’t we agree that I would treat you?" Seeing him already hand over his credit card to the waiter, An Nan hurriedly protested.
Taking back the credit card from the waiter, Lin Mubai smiled slightly. He stood up first and answered with a question, "Are you full?"
A rabbit needs to be slowly lured into a burrow, being too hasty will only scare it away. Anyway, now that he knew the rabbit’s lair, he wasn’t afraid she’d run off again.
It wasn’t until An Nan got into the Ferrari supercar that she belatedly asked, "Where are we going?"
"Where do you live?" Young Master Lin asked casually, shaking his head inwardly. Was this woman really twenty-eight? She was so slow to react, it was a miracle she hadn’t been led astray earlier.
But even if someone had taken her home, it didn’t matter. He would make sure that person returned her to his burrow.
His rabbit, of course, could only stay in his burrow.
When An Nan finally gave her apartment address, she stared at the man in the driver’s seat with wary eyes, "Bastard, who exactly are you?"
Shaking his head helplessly, he replied with a half-smile, "You must be tired. Let me take you back to rest."
"Is it really that simple?" An Nan’s eyes were full of distrust.
Taking advantage of the red light, Lin Mubai nodded firmly under her skeptical gaze.
An Nan was slightly stunned, then relaxed, "Alright then, there’s still a way to my house. I’ll take a nap first."
This little man, from his speech, his clothes, and his car... it was obvious he wasn’t an ordinary person. He was extraordinarily handsome, the type women would flock to on the street. She didn’t think for a moment that such a man would be interested in an old woman like her, so she felt completely safe.
Moreover, since he was with Huo Bingxuan today, did that mean he also knew Xi Shaoqi? Then why hadn’t they met before?
When Lin Mubai glanced over at another red light, he found that she had already fallen asleep. He gazed at her tired sleeping face for a long time until a loud honk from behind brought him back to his senses, and he continued driving with a smile of indulgent solitude on his face.
For the rest of the journey, Lin Mubai noticeably slowed down, turning the supercar into a crawling turtle and attracting disdainful looks. He didn’t care about these at all; in his eyes, nothing was more important than the person beside him.
A pressing voice in his heart urged, "Keep her, keep her by your side forever, for a lifetime."
Lin Mubai understood this was the call of his inner world. He didn’t intend to ignore it; instead, he felt even more determined to carry it out. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on noᴠelfire.net
Keeping her by his side for a lifetime? It seemed like a great decision, so that’s what he would do.
Waking up groggy, An Nan wasn’t immediately aware of where she was. She suddenly lifted her head and, seeing the person beside her, she was fully awake.
On his handsome face, those beautiful eyes were closed at that moment. The soft light filtered through the curtain fringe, gently casting on his face, making his striking features even more out of this world. How could a man be so exquisite? How could anyone else in the mortal world exist after this?
