Chapter 185 What if he likes another girl? _3
Then, she didn't choose to wipe her hands; instead, she directly stuck her fingers in her mouth and licked them.
She then continued to bury her head in her meal.
At that moment,
The people sitting around the dining table exchanged glances with each other; that gesture... if you say you're just ordinary friends again, we're really going to flip the table!
"Boss Xu, you and the madam are..."
Xu Musen smiled and looked at An Nuannuan's dazed expression; he cleared his throat.
"I'd like to make an official announcement; from now on, Nuannuan will be your true madam."
"Waaaah!"
A few people glanced at each other and then started to scream and howl.
"Ahhhh! We've finally reached the day when you two made it official."
"Such great news, shouldn't we celebrate with a red envelope?"
"Kiss each other, kiss!"
Zhou Hangyu and the other two were howling and making faces at Xu Musen.
Zhao Lianmai even stopped using her chopsticks, watching both of them and silently daydreaming.
Riled up by everyone's teasing, An Nuannuan still felt a bit shy; her pretty face turned slightly pink as she hid a little behind Xu Musen, but under the table, she couldn't help but happily wiggle her feet.
It seemed that for this girl who had just started dating, kissing in public was still too soon.
"Get out of here! Cut the racket, haven't had enough dog food, have you?"
Xu Musen teased them, but couldn't hide the smug tone in his voice.
"Geez, Boss Xu, now that you and our madam are together, going forward do we listen to you or to the madam?"
Zhou Hangyu spoke on the side with a cheeky tone.
"Nonsense, I listen to the madam; who do you think you should listen to?"
Xu Musen said earnestly, as obeying his wife was nothing shameful, as long as he wasn't living off her.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Actually, there was no need to guess who would listen to whom.
Given An Nuannuan's character, Xu Musen figured even if he sold her, An Nuannuan would make sure to inquire if he had undersold her and possibly negotiate for a higher price.
And Xu Musen never refused An Nuannuan's requests.
That was what truly meant to make a mutual commitment.
After eating, An Nuannuan went to the small room to brush her teeth; now, the wardrobe in the small room was stuffed full of An Nuannuan's things.
A couple of dresses and the down jacket she had just bought, including her slippers and little socks.
It was getting cold.
The shop had heating.
An Nuannuan usually wore cotton slippers in the shop, but she would definitely need to wear shoes when going out for classes.
Xu Musen took out the camel-colored wool boots he had prepared for her.
She was wearing a knitted wool sweater, also with a fluffy scarf wrapped around her, and to prevent her hair from getting messy, he even put a round hat on her head, making her look like an adorable little snowman.
"Nuannuan, you're so cute."
Xu Musen couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
"Of course."
An Nuannuan was well aware of her own attractiveness and wasn't oblivious like those with divine beauty.
"You're not modest at all."
Xu Musen scraped her little nose and tied her shoelaces.
An Nuannuan looked down at him, thinking that after starting a relationship, they would feel nervous, awkward, or overly excited.
But it didn't seem like anything had changed; it was just like usual.
However, An Nuannuan liked this feeling, this stable and happy daily life, which to her was the greatest happiness.
By the time Xu Musen had finished tying her shoelaces and looked up, he saw An Nuannuan leaning forward to look at him.
"What's..."
Before Xu Musen could finish his sentence, An Nuannuan suddenly leaned in and lightly nibbled on his cheek.
It was more of a nibble than a bite, as the round and smooth set of teeth were barely pressing down, the soft touch of lips like a tiny spark of electricity.
An Nuannuan covered her cheek and quickly sat back up, her face flushed as she looked to the side, pretending as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, you're bold, picking on me!"
Xu Musen also felt a tickle in his heart from her action and directly moved forward to wrap his arms around her soft waist, lifting her onto the bed.
Looking at the girl's fair cheeks, the pink and lustrous corners of her lips, and that shy expression, he felt his youthful heart stirred at all times.
"Nuannuan..."
Xu Musen whispered, his fingers lightly touching her lips, and not a single word was exchanged between them.
But the distance was getting closer and closer.
"Nuannuan, I've got your drawing board for you..."
Just at that moment, the voice of Zhao Lianmai sounded at the door, which was left ajar.
Zhao Lianmai walked over, holding An Nuannuan's drawing tools, but before she could finish talking about the painting, she saw the scene before her eyes.
Six eyes met.
"I'm interrupting."
Zhao Lianmai stiffly and swiftly turned around.
"Class is about to start..."
An Nuannuan also gently pushed his chest, her pale face now so red it looked as if it could drip blood.
"So, is it okay when class isn't in session?"
Xu Musen pinched her cheek and whispered in her ear.
An Nuannuan didn't speak; she sat up on the bed and looked at Xu Musen, thinking how his hands had been a bit too unruly just now...
"Bad boy."
An Nuannuan said.
Xu Musen smiled, "Alright, then this bad boy will take the little princess to school."
Xu Musen reached out his hand to her.
An Nuannuan: "(˃⌑˂ഃ)"
But she still extended her hand without hesitation.
At the door, Zhao Lianmai stood at quite a distance, her expression slightly thoughtful.
Xu Musen walked over.
"You guys... are finished, that was quick..."
Zhao Lianmai spoke the last two words.
Xu Musen wondered why he always felt there was such a strong sense of attack?
"It's all right now, I'm taking Nuannuan to class."
Xu Musen took the things in her hand and went to join An Nuannuan to the studio.
...
After dropping Nuannuan off,
Xu Musen prepared to find He Qiang. The takeaway and milk tea store at Fudan University was now quite stable.
The success of the Fudan University branch,
had also sparked considerable attention on college forums.
After all, almost all milk tea brands were established old brands, and new ones weren't very popular yet.
Auntie Shanghai emerged out of nowhere, coupled with genuinely good reviews and the success at two colleges.
Now many colleges were calling for branches to be opened.
Xu Musen's monthly income was now stable, enough to pave the way for two more colleges each month.
Schools with personal connections were naturally the best choice.
And He Qiang had been planning this for a while; his good brother had indeed been good to him.
He would never forget such prosperity in this lifetime.
Xu Musen took out his phone, just about to call He Qiang, when another call came in.
Aunt Liu.
Seeing this contact, Xu Musen didn't hesitate to answer.
"Aunt Liu, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, you shouldn't have class this afternoon, right?"
"I'm free this afternoon."
"That's good, it's November and getting cold; I'm worried you'll catch a chill. Let's go out and buy some clothes this afternoon."
Liu Rushuang said smilingly.
Xu Musen subconsciously thought about it.
Actually, there was no need to think; Yao Mingyue would definitely be there.
But Xu Musen felt there was no need to keep avoiding her; it was time to find an opportunity to clear things up.
Although it always seemed that these issues wouldn't easily come to an end,
Xu Musen didn't want to drag it out either. What was meant to come would come, and maybe it was better for both parties to understand sooner rather than later.
"Okay."
