Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Nannan, back soon (1)

Lin Mubai naturally saw the text message. After several days of phone harassment, he simply added Xi Shaoqi’s number to the blacklist. This way he wouldn’t have to worry about that guy harassing him anymore. But he still underestimated Shaoqi. Although Shaoqi’s calls couldn’t get through, he could still harass him with a new number. Driven to the edge, Lin Mubai simply kept only Han Xiayang’s number on the whitelist and blacklisted everyone else. Yet, he could still see the text messages right away.

When he saw the message from Xi Shaoqi, he was sitting on the sofa with An Nan, watching TV. When his phone vibrated, he picked it up, glanced at it, then calmly set it aside.

An Nan glanced at his action but then focused back on the TV.

A moment later, Lin Mubai’s voice echoed in the living room, "Nannan, Shaoqi asked me out tonight. Do you want to go together?"

His consideration was this: if An Nan agreed, it naturally meant their relationship had progressed. Otherwise, he’d continue to try harder.

Regarding this unexpected invitation, An Nan was initially surprised but then shook her head under Lin Mubai’s gaze, "I’m not going. I have work tomorrow. Have fun."

Perhaps work was just an excuse, but she felt strange about going together with Little White. She couldn’t pinpoint exactly where the weirdness lay.

Even though he was fully aware of what her answer would be, Lin Mubai still felt a slight disappointment.

He nodded lightly and continued speaking to her, "Alright then, I’ll prepare dinner and then head out."

An Nan quickly refused, "No need, there’s plenty left from lunch. I’ll heat it up for dinner. You should go early and come back early."

Right after saying it, An Nan froze. Why did it feel like a wife giving instructions to her husband? Realizing this made her unable to look him straight in the eyes.

Lin Mubai obviously realized too, and his heart felt sweet. The discomfort from moments before completely vanished, making his voice more tender. His eyes smiled gently as he watched the little woman in front of him, with her head hung low in shyness. He meticulously instructed, "Then make do tonight. I’ll make a hearty breakfast for you tomorrow and take you to the airport."

"Okay." An Nan continued to keep her head down.

Lin Mubai added, "I’ll go now. I’ll be back early tonight."

Upon hearing this, An Nan’s already blushing cheeks grew even redder. Lin Mubai knew that if he teased her any further, this little white rabbit would surely explode.

His eyes lingered affectionately on her for a moment before standing up to take a shower before heading out. Just as he was leaving, he couldn’t help but remind the little woman earnestly watching TV on the sofa, "No staying up late tonight. At the latest, go to sleep by ten."

"Got it, got it."

An Nan’s voice carried a hint of impatience. She really couldn’t understand why this man was so long-winded, yet her heart felt sweet.

As she watched Lin Mubai’s departing figure, An Nan’s eyes held a trace of reluctance.

At this moment, she quietly gazed, choosing not to deny her feelings. At least when Lin Mubai couldn’t see, she dared to admit that she truly cared about him.

This period of time spent together brought her a warmth she’d never experienced, resembling familial comfort. Except for not sharing a bed, their way of life was indistinguishable from that of an ordinary couple.
