A gentle sigh escaped as she closed her eyes and slowly drifted back to sleep.
In her dreams, the gentle and handsome face of a person kept appearing, resulting in An Nan getting a restless night’s sleep.
At seven o’clock in the morning, An Nan sat on her bed in frustration, wrapped in a blanket, face full of annoyance: "Damn Little White, why do you keep appearing in my dreams? If this continues, life will be unbearable. No, I need to think of something."
Driving the person away was impossible, so the only option was for her to temporarily leave.
Three days later, An Nan took advantage of Lin Mubai being out and left a note: "The airline suddenly has a flight."
When Lin Mubai came back and saw the note stuck to the fridge, he was naturally furious: "Damn woman, she runs like a rabbit when something comes up. Let’s see where you can run to."
Lin Mubai wasn’t worried that this little woman would leave and never return. But since the rabbit had run, he didn’t mind waiting for her. Fortunately, the company had matters to attend to these days. Once he finished dealing with them, he would properly handle this little woman.
In the days of An Nan’s departure, Lin Mubai still stayed at her place. However, the absence of that familiar presence at night made the home seem much lonelier.
Third Young Master Xi hadn’t seen Young Master Lin for several days. Today, he finally heard that Young Master Lin was at the company, so he decided not to go to work and went straight to the company to block him.
The company’s secretaries all knew Third Young Master Xi, so when they saw Xi Shaoqi walk in, none of them stopped him. Third Young Master Xi, with full-faced anger, stormed into someone’s office, and as soon as he entered, he complained loudly: "Young Master Lin, it’s rare that you’re at the company today. I’m telling you, you have to accompany me for a drink no matter what."
"Sure." Indeed, it had been a while.
Seeing Lin Mubai agree, Xi Shaoqi quickly took out his phone and contacted Han Xiayang.
In the evening, the three men found a private restaurant, intending to drink a bit and have a good chat, reliving brotherly camaraderie. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel[f]ire.net
After just a few drinks, the door of the private room was pushed open from outside. Seeing a few familiar faces enter, Lin Mubai started to feel a headache. Despite the headache, he had to put on a smile to meet them, or else the headache would worsen.
With a poised posture, he calmly stood up from the table and walked towards the leading figure among the group—a noble lady with an aura of luxury. He gently called, "Mom."
Then, Young Master Lin greeted the noble lady behind his own mother: "Mrs. Huo."
As for the Huo Bingxuan being ignored from start to finish alongside Mrs. Huo.
After the greetings, his focus returned to his own mother: "Mom, what’s the matter?"
Lan Yiqing’s gaze swept over the handsome and upright son before her and then she said discontentedly: "Lin Mubai, aren’t you something special. Tell me, just how long has it been since your mother last saw you."
Though Lan Yiqing complained, her eyes rapidly scanned her son’s face and figure. Luckily, he hadn’t lost weight, still in good spirits, indicating he’s been doing well lately.
Seeing his mother erupt, Lin Mubai quickly softened and coaxed: "Mom, I’ve just been a bit busy lately, haven’t I? I was even planning to go home for a few days once I’m done."
"Busy with what? Just got seduced by some vixen." Lan Yiqing was clearly not easy to fool.
