Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Pleasing Lin Mubai
What was originally just a simple hug between friends, when seen through the eyes of a certain Young Master, suddenly took on a different meaning.
In Lin Mubai’s mind, there was only one thought: why was his woman letting another man hug her? The most pressing issue being that he hadn’t even hugged her himself; just thinking about it brought tears to his eyes.
If those restless people at home knew about it, they would definitely say: "Lin Mubai, didn’t you always think you were invincible? What’s wrong this time? Your execution is so poor, you’re really embarrassing the Lin Family."
Therefore, before he got An Nan to agree to be his girlfriend, he swore he wouldn’t return home.
Lin Mubai stood just a step away from the private room, his hands clenched into a ball, his heart filled with jealousy. If Zhan Qiyi’s earlier entrance made him dissatisfied, then the scene before him was pure jealousy. He had always been someone who admitted his feelings, and at this moment, he honestly acknowledged he was, indeed, jealous.
So now, should he continue inside or simply leave? Without hesitation, Young Master Lin chose the former.
Inside the private room, An Nan was engaged in friendly chatter with two long-lost friends when she noticed Lin Mubai walking in with a smile. Her smile froze for a moment at the corner of her mouth, then quickly returned to normal. She turned and walked towards him: "Little White, why are you here."
Ruffling her soft hair with his hand, Lin Mubai acted as if he hadn’t seen anything earlier, filled with affection: "Just came by to say hi to your friends."
Seeing the couple-ish intimacy between the two, Jack and Aiden, who had previously shared a close hug with An Nan, exchanged puzzled looks with Vince, whose face remained calm and unaffected, before trading glances with each other.
They knew, or rather, their entire batch of trainees knew that Vince (Zhan Qiyi’s English name) liked Anna (An Nan’s English name), and even across the airline, anyone who knew Vince and Anna knew.
Just as it happened, Jack was a straightforward person, and without hesitation, he asked: "Vince, what’s going on between you and An Nan? Aren’t you two a couple? Who’s this man?" Although he admitted this man was excellent, from a friend’s perspective, he still supported his brother.
Within his words, Jack’s disapproving gaze swept back and forth over the three people, filled with disapproval, but mainly dissatisfaction towards An Nan.
This rendered An Nan quite helpless. Since when did she become a couple with Zhan Qiyi? She didn’t know, and her previously friendly expression slowly turned cold.
The attentive Zhan Qiyi instantly realized her change in demeanor was a sign of anger. He opened his mouth to try and explain, but he didn’t know where to start. To be honest, he had always hoped from the beginning that he and An Nan were a couple, and this thought hadn’t changed even now.
So amidst all the ambiguous glances from everyone, he had never thought to refute anything, implicitly consenting to their assumptions. And his silence right now was his last ray of hope. As long as An Nan didn’t refuse, he felt he still had a chance.
However, his hopes were dashed by reality in the very next moment.
An Nan opened her mouth to explain, her voice cold yet impossible to ignore: "Jack, Aiden, Vince and I have always just been friends, not what you think, so don’t bring it up again in the future."
An Nan’s explanation pleased Lin Mubai beside her, but left Jack and Aiden exchanging glances. The two shared a look and wisely chose to change the subject.
