Chapter 566 - 385 An Family Mansion (2)
The people on the scene were all children of privilege; every family had one or two elders who were powerful and authoritative. As these elders retired in their old age, they enjoyed dabbling in their grandchildren and antiques. Over time, these grandchildren naturally developed a discerning eye for antiques.
This group had just been doubting what they saw, but none of them were willing to believe that anyone would blatantly place these things here like this.
But now, An Nan’s words made everyone overturn their previous thoughts—it seemed there really was a fool who would leave things that should be in a safe out in plain sight.
However, upon second thought, even if a thief came by, seeing these, they’d probably think like everyone initially did, assuming these were merely decorative items.
During the crowd’s amazement, more people kept arriving. Lan Xinxixi showed up unexpectedly with Ouyang Lei and Shen Mengqi, who were both somewhat familiar faces to the group. An Nan was surprised to see the three together, "How did you all come together?"
Shen Mengqi happily explained to everyone, "We bumped into each other downstairs."
When in fact, it was nothing like that. She just happened to overhear Miss Lan making a call and insisted on tagging along.
An Nan cast a suspicious glance back and forth among the three of them but didn’t inquire further.
Almost everyone had arrived, and the dishes Ying Chen had the kitchen prepare were ready, so they informed everyone they could move to the dining room.
Lan Xinru had been busy at the hospital all day, and that certain someone had been pestering her all day, too. Now, she was about to faint from hunger. Upon hearing it was time to eat, she rushed to the front. Just as she was about to sit down, someone snatched her seat, making her angrily want to bite someone: "Zhao Tianchen, move over, or I’ll bite you to death."
This damn bastard had recently taken to blocking her path at the hospital every day, not to mention saying all sorts of baffling things. Now everyone there thought she had a boyfriend, and they looked at her meekly, often casting wistful glances her way, leaving her utterly confused.
At this moment, everyone had already sat down, each looking lively at these two, their minds simultaneously prowling with questions: "When did these two start having an affair?"
No matter how angry Lan Xinru was, Zhao Tianchen still wore a carefree smile, indifferent, "Are you really going to bite? Where do you want to bite? How about here? It’s the second softest part of my body." His double entendre made everyone chuckle, except Miss Lan, whose face turned iron blue.
Damn it, what’s wrong with this bastard lately?
"Zhao Tianchen, did you forget to take your medication today?" Lan Xinru gritted her teeth.
"No, I took my meds," he said. He did all this just to make his presence known so this little woman would get used to having him around instead of completely forgetting him once she turned away.
He knew to stop at the right moment, not to overdo it. Zhao Tianchen understood this logic, and he was also sending a signal to everyone that he had his eyes on this woman, so everyone else should just step aside. In the next moment, he obediently got up, vacated his seat, and while at it, pushed the angry little woman into the seat before adding a spot beside her for himself.
