Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Lin Mubai Shows Off on the Main Road
Compared to Lin Mubai’s excitement, An Nan felt only a sense of helplessness. At this moment, she just wanted to hurry back to the hotel and didn’t want to stand on the street with this man and make a fool of herself. It’s not that she was unwilling to be associated with him, but since they currently had no relationship, it felt awkward.
Lin Mubai, however, had no intention of letting her have her way. He just wanted to tease this little woman a bit, seeing her awkward demeanor and finding it particularly adorable.
Slowly, his expression turned rather pitiful: "An Nan, why do you have such a disdainful look? Am I not good enough for you?"
An Nan stumbled instantly, almost causing An Jiayou, whom she was holding, to fall as well.
The two similar faces frowned at the same time, exchanging a glance filled with disdain, as if they were saying, "Can this man be any more embarrassing?"
At this moment, the mother and daughter simultaneously made a decisive move and strode forward, pretending they didn’t know the embarrassing man.
As they walked, An Jiayou said sheepishly, "An Nan, I really misjudged this time. This man is just too... embarrassing."
Instead of the expected awkwardness and unease, Lin Mubai was met with disdain and abandonment from the mother and child. His face quickly turned from aggrieved to puzzled, and he hurriedly chased after them: "Wait up, I was just joking with you, wasn’t I?"
Stopping in her tracks, An Nan rolled her eyes and reprimanded the man approaching her: "Are you a child? How can you be so immature, and not even consider that we’re on the street, joking around like this?"
Despite the scolding, Lin Mubai maintained a cheerful expression: "Come on, don’t be angry, okay? I just wanted to make you happy."
"Hmph, don’t ever do that again."
"Okay."
Afterwards, the three resumed walking side by side, but An Jiayou refused to walk right next to Lin Mubai, leading to another scene, with An Nan walking in the middle and two handsome males flanking her on either side.
Once out of the bustling area, Lin Mubai flagged down a taxi, and the three of them got in to return to the hotel.
Given his young age, once they reached the room, An Jiayou collapsed onto the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Afterwards, An Nan and Lin Mubai conversed, but dared not speak loudly, maintaining a careful demeanor.
"An Nan, I’m going out for a bit, will come back later to take you and Jiayou out for dinner."
An Nan didn’t question what he was going out to do, so she nodded: "Okay, then I’ll take a nap too."
After Lin Mubai left, An Nan lay down next to An Jiayou and fell asleep.
As soon as the three left, Zhan Qiyi had no mood to stay at the restaurant and simply drove back to the hotel. Upon entering the hotel lobby, he happened to see Lin Mubai leaving in a hurry, which confused him, so he clandestinely followed him.
He followed Lin Mubai all the way to the flower shop, jewelry shop, and cake shop...
Finally, Lin Mubai returned to the hotel, satisfied, unaware that someone had been observing him the whole time and had an idea on their mind.
Lin Mubai arranged everything he had bought neatly.
Then he returned to the hotel room, where the big and small pair were still asleep. He wasn’t in a rush; he just sat quietly on the sofa waiting.
During this time, his gaze didn’t leave them at all, watching silently, feeling a deep sense of contentment.
