Lin Mubai was inwardly happy, while Jesse’s face and heart were both in knots.
Why did things turn out this way? He had finally gotten a good opportunity to cultivate feelings with Nannan, but now, in the blink of an eye, there was this giant third wheel.
Before he could think of a reason to refuse in his heart, he heard the giant third wheel speak again, words that made him sick to his stomach: "Uncle Mu Bai, if you don’t need to go to the company, you should come with us today. After all, you grew up in B City, you must know where the good food and fun spots are better than we do."
"Sure, I don’t need to go to the company today." In reality, it wasn’t that he didn’t need to go, but rather there was so much business waiting there for him that he just didn’t feel like going.
It turns out, even a former workaholic has started slacking off.
Besides, in today’s situation, even if he went to the company, he’d probably be sidetracked all day long, making it an inefficient day of work. It was better not to go. He had been thinking of an excuse to join these two, and now, that little one’s words solved all his problems. He really should thank him properly later.
From then on, there really wasn’t anything to do with Jesse because the three never asked for his opinion on where to go today, they just decided it on their own.
Once the three had made their decision, An Nan finally remembered to ask for his opinion: "Jesse, how about we go horseback riding today?" She hadn’t gone riding in a long time and really missed it.
Her face was full of expectation, leaving Jesse, who had been staring at her gloomily, speechless in refusal: "Sure, I haven’t gone horseback riding in a long time either. It’ll be nice to go and play together."
Taking advantage of An Nan going back to her room to change, Jesse glared at Lin Mubai: "How about it, let’s have a competition when we get to the stables?" He had to let An Nan see his dashing demeanor; to him, horseback riding was as simple as designing—it’s a talent.
As for his invitation, Lin Mubai neither agreed nor refused, he merely smirked meaningfully.
When Jesse saw that smile, his mood became irritable again. Just as he was about to say something to provoke Lin Mubai further, An Nan stepped out of the room, and he had no choice but to drop the matter.
The group of four’s outing thus began. Originally, Jesse thought he’d find another chance to provoke Lin Mubai at the stables, but reality proved otherwise. Jesse eagerly changed his clothes and returned to the stables, only to find a charming An Jiayou sitting alone on a bench, looking at him with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, while Lin Mubai and An Nan were nowhere to be seen.
Immediately, a bad feeling swept over him.
Even the smile on his face was hard to maintain, and in the next moment, he stormed forward angrily: "Where are they?"
Despite Jesse’s harsh tone, An Jiayou showed no displeasure. He merely pointed in a direction and said, "They went that way."
As soon as his voice fell, he saw a hurried silhouette rushing away.
Instantly, a sly smile slowly crept up the corners of An Jiayou’s mouth. That direction? He guessed the person was on a wild goose chase, but that had nothing to do with him. As long as Uncle Mu Bai kept his end of the bargain, he was satisfied.
Just ten minutes before, he had received a text from someone saying: "Help get rid of a certain annoying person."
He quickly replied: "Sure, a top-of-the-line computer currently on the market."
A reply quickly came back: "OK."
And thus, an agreement was happily reached. Read full story at novelꜰire.net
