Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Young Master Lin Steps into the Inner Hall (1)

Listening to the wailing sounds around, Lin Mubai’s thoughts have already drifted to a particular little woman. Does she wake up smiling even in her sleep? Probably not; she would most likely ruin his face to prevent him from flirting outside.

Even if that were the case, he would feel happiest, at least she belonged to him.

Unsure of how far he still had to go in his pursuit, he always hoped to wake up tomorrow with her lying in his arms.

Thinking about it, the smile on Lin Mubai’s face grew brighter and brighter, unaware of the change in the eyes of the women around him—infatuation, envy, and heartbreak.

An Nan sat obediently in the passenger seat, licking the lollipop in her mouth, while the look in Lin Mubai’s eyes became gradually dim, and a certain part of his body uncontrollably heated up. To cover his discomfort, he opened the window, attempting to calm his restless blood with the cold wind outside.

At the same time, the person beside him spoke again: "Are you hot? How about turning off the heater?"

"Uh." Lin Mubai was first stunned, then said with a bit of embarrassment: "No, it’s just a bit stuffy, it’ll be better in a moment."

"Alright then."

The car went silent again, with only the sound of each other’s breathing and An Nan eating the lollipop. The heat in Lin Mubai’s body intensified. Fortunately, it was night, and the car was dimly lit, so the woman beside him couldn’t notice his anomaly, or he would have been really embarrassed.

Now he was truly annoyed, why did he think of buying lollipops, what self-torture.

He silently swore in his heart, that once they returned, he would throw all the lollipops away. Even if she wanted to eat them, it would have to be at home, not outside, and definitely not in front of other men.

But more importantly, he needed an excuse to make this woman stop eating lollipops.

Thinking it over, Lin Mubai continued speaking, "Nannan, driving is unstable, it’s better not to eat lollipops for now."

The latter didn’t notice the man’s term of endearment, only pondered over his words and then nodded in agreement, "Okay, I won’t eat then."

She wrapped the remaining lollipop in a napkin, preparing to throw it away when they got off.

"Don’t mind tonight’s events, Huo Bingxuan was spoiled since childhood."

"It’s fine."

"En."

The car fell silent once more, Lin Mubai hoped her words of ’it’s fine’ were sincere. Just because he spoke comforting words didn’t mean he would let the Huo siblings off the hook; he simply didn’t want her to be unhappy.

The woman he couldn’t bear to harm in the slightest, he wouldn’t allow others to harm even a fraction.

The car soon stopped under the building where An Nan lived.

"Thank you, I’m here. Would you like to come up for a cup of water?"

Her question was merely out of politeness; he had driven her back from afar, she couldn’t deny him even a drink of water. Moreover, she believed this man wouldn’t come home with her just to drink a cup of water.

But as the saying goes, ’the world’s affairs are unpredictable’.

Just when An Nan thought she would be refused and could happily go home to continue sleeping soundly, the voice from beside her made her body stiffen, her lips twitching slightly, and she looked at him with disbelief in her eyes. Had she heard correctly?

He agreed, he actually agreed.

Lin Mubai was in the driver’s seat, the pleasant arc of his lips gently lifting. He was just worried about finding a chance to step inside.
