Chapter 567: Disturbing Someone’s Date
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Looking at herself in the mirror with her hat, sungla.s.ses, and mask, An Nuo suspected for a moment that she looked like the kind of criminal who would rob a bank.
Fortunately, it was not that scary. The hat and mask she chose were quite compatible. Coupled with the slightly gray sungla.s.ses, they looked a little simple and fashionable.
When An Nuo returned to the jewelry shop again, she saw Murong Chen standing at the entrance of the shop. It seemed that the custom-made segment had ended.
“Sorry, I went to buy a pair of sungla.s.ses at the last minute and didn’t tell you.” An Nuo ran over.
Murong Chen was waiting for her there. An Nuo thought of how she had been so focused on buying things that she had completely forgotten about Murong Chen and felt a little regretful.
“It’s fine. I don’t have any other plans today.” Murong Chen shook his head.
He had to choose gifts the entire time. Moreover, with An Nuo’s suggestion, it was very efficient and helped him save a lot of time. Murong Chen was a little apologetic for taking up An Nuo’s time.
Moreover, he didn’t have to wait long.
“There’s nothing else to do here for the time being. Let’s go to the car first.” Murong Chen took the lead and walked away.
The car was still in the parking lot below, and the things in his hands needed to be arranged. Moreover, he had pulled An Nuo along to shop with him for the entire afternoon, so Murong Chen felt a little apologetic.
To go to the underground parking lot, they had to take the elevator first. It was not convenient for Murong Chen to carry things with both hands. An Nuo also followed in and helped press the b.u.t.ton for the bas.e.m.e.nt. However, just as the elevator door was about to close, she saw a girl walking in with a child.
Their destination was the first floor. Seeing the elevator door slowly close and the feeling of weightlessness coming from her body, An Nuo frowned slightly.
She always had some resistance to enclosed environments. It was not a psychological problem, but she felt a little suffocated and uncomfortable.
“Not feeling well?” Murong Chen asked in a low voice.
His perception had always been sharp, let alone in such a small s.p.a.ce.
An Nuo always seemed to be easier to understand. Most of the time, she showed her thoughts on her face, so Murong Chen only needed to look at her expression to determine her condition.
As he spoke, Murong Chen’s body subconsciously flowed over.
Hence, the fragrant and fresh citrus fragrance also flowed over and invaded An Nuo’s sense of smell, making the suffocating feeling in her body subside.
…Too close.
An Nuo couldn’t help but lower her eyes, but she felt how intense the gaze that was looking at her from the side was.
“I’m fine,” she replied softly.
When the child standing beside the two of them saw Murong Chen and An Nuo talking, he tugged at the clothes of the lady beside him.
“Big Sister, they’re whispering.” Children didn’t know much and said whatever they thought of.
However, words like whispering sounded indescribably intimate.
An Nuo had been looking down. When she heard the child’s words, she couldn’t help but look over and met the child’s clear eyes.
She was stunned. Before she could think of whether to respond, she heard the child say something else.
“Pretty Sister, are you a couple?” The boy looked at An Nuo and Murong Chen curiously, his gaze sweeping between the two of them.
An Nuo immediately blushed. She felt that even her mask couldn’t hide the rising heat, and even her ears felt like they were burning. She opened her mouth but didn’t know how to answer this question.
She should have retorted immediately.
An Nuo thought.
However, when she heard the boy say this, she couldn’t help but feel a little happy secretly.
It was as if she had suddenly received the sunlight from a hidden corner in the shadows. Warmth and vitality slowly emerged from the deepest part of her heart, filling An Nuo’s entire body with a sweet smell.
An Nuo didn’t speak for a long time, but Murong Chen spoke first.
“Why do you think we’re a couple?” Murong Chen raised his eyebrows and asked. His att.i.tude was unexpectedly gentle.
The boy still didn’t know that his words had messed up An Nuo’s heart. Now that he had received Murong Chen’s response, he even answered very naturally.
“Because my father also shopped with Mom like this and even helped her carry her bag around.”
The girl who was being pulled by the child looked at Murong Chen and An Nuo in embarra.s.sment and asked the child to shut up.
“Don’t talk nonsense. You’re disturbing someone’s date.” The girl stuffed a mouthful of snacks into the child’s mouth.
Because of the snacks, the children couldn’t make a fuss, but An Nuo and Murong Chen heard the girl’s words clearly.
Murong Chen, on the other hand, found children very interesting. He was not angry. There was even a smile on his lips, and his coldness subconsciously melted.
An Nuo had never thought that the elevator’s descent would be so long.
When she thought of what the child had said just now, she subconsciously felt a sense of shame.
However, when she heard that Murong Chen didn’t deny it, An Nuo couldn’t help but have some lucky thoughts.
An Nuo mustered her courage and slowly raised her head. With the help of her slightly raised vision, she pretended to look at Murong Chen casually.
Even though they were limited by their height, the distance between their shoulders still allowed An Nuo to see the other party’s beautiful jawline and handsome and cold side profile clearly. Even her eyebrows, which were frozen when she casually looked at a certain place, were indescribably pleasing to the eye.
The heat that had yet to fade seemed to burn again with the face she saw.
An Nuo seemed to be unable to control the wild thoughts in her mind, but she shamelessly felt that it was not bad for the elevator to be slower.
However, at the end of the day, the elevator’s journey had to end. While An Nuo was immersed in her thoughts, the elevator slowly opened the door to the underground parking lot on the bas.e.m.e.nt level.
Murong Chen walked out first, and this action woke An Nuo up from her thoughts.
The citrus scent on the tip of her nose suddenly faded a lot, and even her heart seemed to have become lighter and more disappointed.
“Let’s get in the car together. I’ve troubled you so much today. It’s not good to let you go back alone.” Murong Chen took the initiative to speak.
He first neatly piled the spoils of war he had bought today in the trunk, then turned around and opened the pa.s.senger door for An Nuo, waiting for her to get in.
“No, there’s no need.” Her tongue was knotted nervously. “I can go back by myself.”
She felt that this was a little troublesome for Murong Chen.
However, Murong Chen insisted. “Just get in the car.”
An Nuo had no choice but to get into the car under Murong Chen’s gaze.
However, sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat, she still looked around uneasily. For the first time, she felt nervous.
Not long after, Murong Chen also turned to the driver’s seat and sat down. He slowly stepped on the accelerator and started the car. He drove out of the underground parking lot and came outside.
Sitting in Murong Chen’s car, and it was the front pa.s.senger seat, An Nuo tried her best to control her vision and not wander around. In the end, she could only pretend to look at the scenery pa.s.sing by outside the car window.
“If not for you helping me choose a gift today, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to make up my mind.”
Murong Chen then explained his intentions. “If you’re free tonight, how about I treat you to dinner?”
As he spoke, he glanced at the side and saw that An Nuo seemed to be uncomfortable, so he added.
“You can decide on the venue. If you’re busy, I’ll thank you another day..”
