Handing over the red date brown sugar water to the woman leaning against the kitchen door, he ignored her surprise and confusion, and said indifferently, "Drink it and then go to sleep for me, also, take leave from work."
"I’ve already sent a message to Qi Yi." Being a woman has this inconvenience, and her menstrual cycle is always unpredictable, causing her to frequently rearrange work every month. Initially, she was quite embarrassed about it, but over time got used to it. Now when Zhan Qiyi received her message, he naturally understood the reason.
Qi Yi? She called him so intimately, stirring a tinge of jealousy in Lin Mubai’s heart, she never called him that intimately! Read complete versıon only at novel⟡fire.net
His fingers tightened on the quilt some more.
Suddenly the cup in his hand was snatched forcefully, accompanied by a dissatisfied shout: "You said it was for me to drink, so why are you holding it tightly and not letting me have it."
When Lin Mubai raised his head in surprise, he saw a little woman nervously clutching the cup, her beautiful eyes glaring fiercely at him, as if afraid he would snatch her cup.
He gave a helpless glance at her: "Hurry up and drink it and go to sleep."
Lin Mubai was evidently a bit angry, although he wouldn’t admit he was jealous.
Yet when he thought of that person’s gaze that day, he was somewhat restless. As a man himself, he couldn’t fail to understand what that gaze implied; it seemed he must act quickly, or else he would cry when this little woman was taken away by someone.
Tonight, he had already let slip to his family that he had a girlfriend, and he believed there would soon be a response from them. He wasn’t worried at all about his dad and mom, the only challenge was dealing with this woman’s gaze.
Staring into An Nan’s eyes, which were still oblivious, while she enjoyed drinking the red date brown sugar water.
"Little White, your cooking skills are really great." This man was so perfect without words, not only was his cooking delicious, but even his brown sugar water was brewed so wonderfully. Any woman would be happy to marry such a man.
Marry him? Hmph, An Nan shook her head sharply, her eyes darting around, not daring to look at Lin Mubai.
Lin Mubai felt somewhat inexplicable about her drastic change of attitude.
"What’s up with you?"
"Ah, I’m fine, here’s the cup back to you, I’m going to sleep."
She drank the brown sugar water from the cup in one go, then stuffed the quilt back into his hand and hurriedly slipped into the room.
Lin Mubai stood there, looking at the quilt in his hand, smiling slightly, and then turned back to his room.
Late at night, when most people were fast asleep, Lin Mubai lay on the bed unable to sleep, turned over several times, and still nervously sat up, found an electric hot water bottle he saw while cleaning the house, charged it well before taking it up, pushed the master bedroom door open, and gently went inside.
Seeing the person curled up under the covers, he couldn’t help frowning, then lifted the quilt and placed the hot water bottle in her embrace. Soon, the person who had been sleeping restlessly just a moment ago began breathing evenly, Lin Mubai’s lips curved slightly, and he got up to leave.
Just after he left, a pair of bright eyes slowly opened in the dark, filled with confusion, sweetness, and a thread of sorrow.
Little White’s warm gesture made her heart feel sweet, but unfortunately, this kind of man didn’t belong to her, she couldn’t accept a man younger than herself.
