Chapter 348: Chapter 348 An Nan’s Embarrassment
Only after working himself to the bone preparing eighteen dishes did Lin Mubai finally go upstairs to wake the slumbering dreamer for dinner, prompted by his mother’s reminder.
Lin Mubai’s method of waking someone was different from others. Instead of shaking the person awake, he bent down and kissed them deeply.
The person in a deep sleep couldn’t breathe naturally and would naturally wake up quickly.
An Nan woke up feeling suffocated, pushing away the pleased culprit with anger on her face: "Lin Mubai, what are you doing!"
Standing tall by the bed, the man being questioned shrugged innocently, smiling as he said, "Mom asked me to come up and tell you to come down for dinner."
Only then did An Nan suddenly realize: this was the man’s house, not her apartment. Instantly, her expression was replaced with embarrassment, and in her heart, she cursed this bastard a thousand times: "Damn it, Lin Mubai, why didn’t you just call me."
While hurriedly searching for clothes, An Nan scolded angrily.
She didn’t notice at all how enticing her exposed fair skin was in the air.
Lin Mubai took a deep breath as he stood aside, but this time he restrained himself from impulsively acting on it. Rationality told him that if he did, the people downstairs, getting impatient from waiting, might just come upstairs, regardless of whether he was engaged in something inappropriate.
When An Nan finally managed to get dressed and stood at the second-floor staircase, looking at the lively crowd downstairs, she froze, backing away toward Lin Mubai in panic.
Just the thought that these people knew what she had just done upstairs with this man made her feel too ashamed to face anyone. The more she thought about it, the greater her resentment grew towards the rascal beside her. Without a word, she stepped on him hard, and, as expected, a cry of pain echoed.
"Wife, you’re so harsh."
"Get lost, don’t talk to me." An Nan had no intention of dealing with him at this moment.
Lin Mubai originally wanted to feign pity to gain sympathy but burst into laughter upon seeing the unnatural blush on her cheeks. Stretching out his arm, he pulled her into his embrace, teasing, "Wife, are you embarrassed?"
An Nan simply ignored him, thinking instead about how she should present herself to the crowd downstairs, even though most had already met her, this situation was different.
The next moment, Lin Mubai didn’t give her a chance to regret, holding her hand tightly as they stepped down to face the crowd together.
As the elders saw the couple approach and noticed An Nan’s blushing face, they all laughed.
Then someone, nobody knew who, said, "Young people tend to be a bit impulsive, we understand."
Instantly, An Nan’s cheeks became even redder.
Even during dinner afterward, she kept her head down, eating whatever the man beside her placed on her plate.
After dinner, the group continued their conversation on the sofa. At this point, led by the Lin family’s elder Lin Ze, everyone took out gifts. An Nan was about to refuse without thinking, when Lin Mubai’s uncle, who was also Lan Xinxixi’s father, Colonel Lan Qianlin, spoke on behalf of everyone, "Niece-in-law, actually we all know. Last time was just for us to see who Mubai liked, and this time it’s a proper meeting with the family, so you must accept these gifts today."
