Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Little Jia You Dislikes Jesse
"Is that okay?"
Although Jesse was internally elated beyond words, his face showed no sign of emotion. His beautiful azure eyes merely revealed a hint of anticipation, making it hard for anyone to refuse.
An Nan didn’t notice this; her attention was still on a certain man, proving the saying true: one’s body may leave, but the heart remains. Thus, she only nodded perfunctorily in response to Jesse’s expectant words.
She then instructed Little Jia You, who had been silent on the side, "Prepare a room for Uncle Jesse, I’ll go rest first."
Without attending to etiquette, An Nan immediately stood up and left.
Back in her room, An Nan began pacing back and forth, her face full of agitation.
"What now? What now? I was already guilty; now by running away, it’s adding guilt upon guilt. I bet Little White wants nothing more than to strangle me now. What do I do? What should I do."
An Nan was at a loss.
She even forgot to check her phone amidst all this; her phone displayed over a hundred missed calls, all from the same angry man.
With no one answering the calls, Lin Mubai furiously threw his phone onto the sofa, silently vowing, "You little woman I love, if I catch you, I’ll devour you until there’s nothing left."
It was easy to imagine how angry Lin Mubai was to utter such furious words.
Jesse’s gaze remained on An Nan’s departing figure until she disappeared from sight. Then, as he regained his focus, he found himself facing a pair of small black eyes filled with doubt: "What is your purpose in approaching An Nan? I don’t believe for a second that we met by chance at the airport."
Faced with this interrogation, Jesse showed no signs of panic; instead, he calmly looked back at the other party and replied, "So, what do you think my purpose is?"
An Jiayou shook his head indifferently, then turned his computer screen to face Jesse. It displayed all his detailed information, some of which even Jesse himself wasn’t aware of.
As he felt a deep sense of unease, he heard the little guy’s innocent voice continue to stream into his ears: "First, I have to acknowledge your strengths. Such a young fashion designer, graduating from a world-class institution, Paris University’s computer science program, before pursuing design. You used one year’s worth of recognition and another year to establish your glory. Wealth is not something you lack, so you’re not after my An Nan’s money. As for beauty, I believe your circle is filled with gorgeous women, so this isn’t the answer either. Then what could it be?"
At this point, An Jiayou suddenly stopped talking, his sharp gaze locking with Jesse’s, causing Jesse to shiver inwardly.
Seeing Jesse’s flickering evasive gaze, An Jiayou smiled knowingly and continued, "Actually, I’m quite clear about your goal; it’s related to An Nan. And I think An Nan went to your place deliberately, as for why An Nan stayed at your place, I think there’s only one possibility: she treats you like a brother, thus letting her guard down."
"Why do you say that?" Jesse asked back, feeling the word ’brother’ particularly jarring, no, immensely jarring.
