Chapter 172: Chapter 172 An Nan Questions One Adult and One Child
An Nan immediately turned around, and when she clearly saw the familiar figure not far away, a trace of surprise and doubt simultaneously crossed her mind, both for the same reason — why was he here?
However, as her gaze continued to focus on the smaller figure beside Lin Mubai, everything became mostly clear in an instant.
After understanding, her face showed even more confusion and amazement. How could these two seemingly unrelated people appear here together? Wasn’t Jiayou supposed to be in the United States? How could he appear in France?
As her confusion grew, the pair of one big and one small had already arrived in front of her.
"An Nan, did you miss me?"
Just as An Jiayou’s voice fell, her bent fingers had already fiercely tapped him on the head, with a tone full of inquiry: "Tell me, what’s going on here?"
"Ouch, An Nan, that hurts."
"If it hurts, then quickly explain clearly to me. The reason better satisfy me, or you’ll see."
Hearing this, An Jiayou immediately understood that she was really angry this time. He quickly stopped smiling and seriously began to explain the reason for his presence: "I was originally planning to return directly to the country, but when I found out you flew to France, I came to find you."
"Then why are you with him?" An Nan said, pointing at Lin Mubai beside her.
"This..." Well, he hadn’t really thought of a reason. Should he say that he had investigated her admirers in the background and thus knew Lin Mubai’s contact information?
No need to think deeply; it was clear that as soon as he said it, he would probably get badly scolded.
Unable to find a good reason, he could only secretly tug at the clothes of the person next to him, meaning for him to quickly come up with a good excuse.
He also had an idea. If the man didn’t help him this time, he wouldn’t help him pursue An Nan.
Thankfully, the person next to him didn’t let him down. Lin Mubai generously stood up and explained, "Last time, I accidentally saw Jiayou’s number in your phone, and I remembered it." Although this reason was flimsy, it was still somewhat plausible.
As expected, An Nan reluctantly believed him, though half-heartedly.
At this moment, she didn’t realize at all that she had never told this man that she had a son, so how did he know?
After the questioning ended and there was suddenly no topic to continue, An Nan felt a hint of awkwardness. How should she explain the current situation to this big and small duo? Before she could think of a reason, An Jiayou already mischievously started questioning her: "An Nan, you don’t know, I was shocked when I just came in. The place is really beautifully decorated, but why aren’t there any guests?"
An Nan, being flustered, didn’t notice the mischief in her son’s eyes. However, Zhan Qiyi, who was by her side, saw it clearly and smiled lightly. He took the initiative to greet: "Jiayou, long time no see."
"Uncle Zhan, it has indeed been a long time. I did not expect to meet you here. Are you on a business trip?"
"No, I’m the co-pilot for your mom’s flight this time."
Confusion quickly flashed across An Jiayou’s face, with a kind of naive innocence that lowers people’s guard: "Uncle Zhan, hadn’t you stopped flying for a long time?"
"Uh, this..." This was indeed a well-known fact and successfully left Zhan Qiyi with no reason to continue speaking.
