Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 182: Come Home Early, There’s a Surprise (1)

"Ruanruan is the school beauty of our school, recognized for her stunning appearance and elegance. A lot of boys liked her before, and even now, many men still find her attractive." Li Bao’er stared directly at Mo Tingting, her cute smile growing even more radiant.

They had just entered, and Li Bao’er’s fighting spirit was already igniting. Seeing this, An Mingyuan calmly interjected, "Bao’er, Tingting and I are just simple roommates, don’t misunderstand."

Misunderstand?

Did she say she misunderstood? Besides, just because you claim your relationship is simple, does that prove your innocence?

"I know she’s your roommate! I’m not misunderstanding anything!" Li Bao’er’s round eyes showed an innocent expression. She raised the items in her hand and asked, "Where should I put these?"

"Give them to me." Without waiting for An Mingyuan to respond, Mo Tingting already took the items from Li Bao’er’s hands. Her enthusiasm only made Li Bao’er uncomfortable.

However, this wasn’t her turf, so Li Bao’er couldn’t show her displeasure too obviously. She pressed all her dislike for Mo Tingting into her heart and then smiled and thanked her.

"You can give me your things too." Mo Tingting, carrying the items she took from Li Bao’er, said to Mi Jing and Bai Lulu, leaving them both a bit dumbfounded.

Girl, did we say these things are for you?

Besides, we hardly know you. Even if you are the hostess, it’s not polite to ask guests for their things, right?

But since she had already spoken, Mi Jing and Bai Lulu couldn’t just keep holding the items, so they both handed them to Mo Tingting.

Mo Tingting carried the items into the kitchen, while An Mingyuan invited Mi Jing and the others to sit down and poured each of them a glass of plain water.

"Why did you guys buy so many things?" Mo Tingting came out of the kitchen, her voice tender as she asked Mi Jing and the others, almost making Li Bao’er’s face turn green.

"Lulu got a promotion, so today we came to celebrate with An Mingyuan and have a casual meal. Miss Mo, if you’re not busy, join us for lunch." Mi Jing said graciously, taking control of the situation.

"Oh, it’s a cause for celebration, we should indeed have a good celebration." Mo Tingting seemed to love smiling, smiling at everyone no matter what they said to her. "I’ll go make lunch; you all chat with Mingyuan first."

Once Mo Tingting went back into the kitchen, Li Bao’er couldn’t hold back and asked An Mingyuan, "Is your roommate always this familiar with everyone?"

An Mingyuan was used to Li Bao’er’s bluntness, but her sudden question still caught him off guard. After a brief pause, he smiled lightly and said, "Tingting is quite enthusiastic, which might give you that impression."

Impression?

Li Bao’er wanted to flip the table, but Mi Jing squeezed her hand firmly, causing her to bottle up her dissatisfaction and anger once again.

Damn it!

These two really seem like a pair of adulterers!

Li Bao’er cursed in her mind but quickly replaced her smile, "Maybe. Your roommate looks so gentle and well-behaved; she must be a kind and considerate person."

"Yes, Tingting is indeed kind and has a good temper..." An Mingyuan’s praise for Mo Tingting was evident. As he spoke, he noticed Mi Jing and the others staring at him intently, with inexplicable looks. Realizing he might have said too much about Mo Tingting, he abruptly swallowed the rest of his words.

"Why did you stop? I’m quite curious whether she’s the legendary ’white lotus.’" Mi Jing withdrew her hand from holding Li Bao’er’s, crossing her arms with a curious and amused smile.

"Uh, it’s just like I said earlier. I simply admire Tingting. Maybe because she just joined society, she is pure, making it easy to get along with her without pressure." An Mingyuan remained composed, albeit his face showed a fleeting stiffness and awkwardness. After finishing his words with a smile, he turned his attention to Bai Lulu, who had remained silent since entering, and said, "Lulu, congratulations! You finally made it."

"I was just lucky," Bai Lulu smiled, "You should be up next, right? Ruanruan is still waiting for you to marry her."

"Sigh, I don’t think I have much hope for a promotion. There are too many connections in the company. It will never be my turn, with no background." An Mingyuan said dejectedly. Whether intentionally or not, he didn’t mention anything about his wedding plans with Ruan Pianran.

"If that’s the case, why don’t you consider changing jobs? According to what you told Ruanruan, as long as you don’t get promoted, she’ll always have to wait for you," Bai Lulu said, looking directly at An Mingyuan, her tone not confrontational but gently concerned.

After all, this was their private matter. Although they were Ruanruan’s good friends, An Mingyuan hadn’t given them any leverage to question him angrily, which would only make him displeased and put Ruanruan in a difficult position.

"I’ve discussed it with Ruanruan. We’ve decided to wait a bit longer; after all, we’re still young," An Mingyuan said, a faint smile on his face, very calmly.

Hearing this, Mi Jing and the others’ expressions remained unchanged, but a flash of irritation passed through their eyes.

The three exchanged glances, and after a moment, Li Bao’er sighed, "Sigh, it’s really hard to drink your celebration wine. Although we’re not old, we’re nearing thirty. You men don’t care, being like flowers even at forty, but for us women, our youth is short, and we can’t afford to waste it!"

"Mingyuan, can you come help?" Mo Tingting’s voice floated out of the kitchen, her timing impeccable, just as Li Bao’er’s last words fell.

"You should go. We can chat among ourselves." Mi Jing, noticing An Mingyuan’s troubled expression, said considerately.

"Alright, you guys continue chatting." An Mingyuan stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Watching his back, Li Bao’er’s eyes flashed with anger.

"Look, every time we talk about marriage, he acts like this, always avoiding the topic!"

"Shh, lower your voice!" Bai Lulu gave Li Bao’er a warning look.

"I want him to hear it." Li Bao’er said angrily, though she did lower her voice, "They’re definitely an adulterous couple, case closed!"

Though Mi Jing was usually more impulsive, with Li Bao’er’s presence, she appeared much more composed. She lightly bit her lip, her eyes calm and focused, making it impossible for Li Bao’er and Bai Lulu to read her emotions.
