CHAPTER 385: CHAPTER 385: BOUGHT FOR YOU

Assistant Lin saw that she remained silent, thinking the other party was too shy to respond, and began to speak self-assuredly again, "During the progress of the house renovation these past few days, Mr. Bao has been closely overseeing everything. Even the selection of each item inside was done personally by Mr. Bao, all to ensure Ms. An’s happiness in living there."

Her peace of mind in living there?

Hearing this, An Yin suddenly looked up in surprise, staring at the back of Assistant Lin’s head, "He bought this house because of me?"

An Yin asked earnestly.

Assistant Lin then began to realize something was amiss, seeing Ms. An’s reaction, she probably didn’t know this house was bought for her!

Boom...

Did he say something wrong?

Earlier, when Mr. Bao brought Ms. An upstairs, he even thought Mr. Bao intended to surprise Ms. An, but seeing Ms. An’s bewildered expression, she genuinely was unaware.

"Assistant Lin, you still haven’t answered me?" An Yin sat upright, leaning her entire body forward towards the driver’s seat.

She wanted to hear a definite answer from Assistant Lin’s mouth.

Assistant Lin, distressed, gripped the steering wheel tightly, not knowing how to respond to her at that moment.

Though An Yin was not very quick-witted, seeing Assistant Lin’s silence, she already had a rough idea in her mind.

It seems Assistant Lin wasn’t lying before.

So, the bedroom she just went to was also prepared for her? No wonder she found everything in the walk-in closet brand new.

The clothes she casually picked to change into fitted perfectly.

Previously, she thought some other girl lived in that room, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart...

As the two remained silent, the car door opened, and the tall figure of Bao Shaojin sat beside An Yin. Once the car door closed, Assistant Lin dared not breathe heavily.

Assistant Lin thought Ms. An would inquire with Mr. Bao, and when the inside remained silent, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Since Mr. Bao hadn’t told Ms. An about this, it seems Mr. Bao has his own plans in mind.

"To ’Jingming House’."

"Got it."

The name the man mentioned felt quite unfamiliar to An Yin, but she didn’t have the mood to ask about it now.

Her heart, full of excitement, seemed about to leap out, especially knowing that the man bought a house for her, and it was so close to T University...

An Yin has been naturally introverted since childhood, often showing restraint in the face of others’ affection, always feeling she has no outstanding qualities and isn’t worthy of others’ affections.

So when encountering those enthusiastic neighbors, she often became at a loss, and only after time passed would she engage in brief conversations.

But when it came to feelings between men and women, she was like a blank canvas, never painted with any color, only able to explore slowly on the blueprint, sketching the future she wanted.

Jingming House, located in the prime area of the city center, had two levels.

The ground level served regular guests.

The upper level was for some business dignitaries.

The dishes here mainly used Cordyceps as an ingredient, with rich and nourishing soup brewed from it.

Under the guidance of the attendant, the two took the elevator to the second floor, passed through the corridor, and arrived at a private room.

Afterward, the attendant offered hand towels, and An Yin mimicked the man, wiping simply.

"Mr. Bao, could you check what you’d like to order?" The menu was presented to the man.

Bao Shaojin initially intended to toss the menu to the young lady for her to choose, but fearing she might make remarks after seeing the prices, he dismissed the idea.

His slender fingers tapped a few items on the menu, "Just these."

"Alright, please wait a moment." The attendant took the menu and left.

Two attendants stood at the entrance.

Bao Shaojin waved them away, and the two wisely left.

The room was heated, and shortly after sitting, it felt a bit warm. As An Yin saw the man removing his coat and placing it on the backrest, with one button on his chest undone, her gaze paused, fixating on the man’s prominent Adam’s apple.

The man rolled up his sleeves slightly, exuding a leisurely attitude. Noticing the young lady’s inquisitive gaze, he did not disturb her.

Since the young lady liked watching, he might as well let her watch to her heart’s content!

A vague and hard-to-decipher gleam appeared on the man’s proud face.

In the private room, beside the window, were the most luxurious draperies, with bold yet lively colors, brilliant and grand designs, resembling lines of natural beauty, providing a stunning view.

In the corner stood a row of wine cabinets, with a wide variety of wines... Gazing around, with feet on valuable carpets and jade statues in the corner, although just a dining place, each part oozed an extreme sense of luxury!

Just as An Yin was lost in thought, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open fiercely.

"Brother, An Yin, it really is you two, I thought I saw wrong just now." Shen Jingrou suddenly appeared at the entrance, her face full of delight as she looked at the pair at the dining table.

She wore an elegant long dress, her dark hair cascading like clouds on her shoulders, swaying with her graceful steps, tracing a perfect arc in the air.

"Jingrou Sis!" An Yin stood excitedly at the sight of her, calling out.

Bao Shaojin frowned, staying silent.

"Hehehe..." Shen Jingrou smiled at the young lady.

Her light, willow-like brows arched like distant mountains, holding a smile, with joy rippling in her eyes, making her entire visage appear gentle and charming.

Faced with Shen Jingrou’s sudden smile, An Yin looked at her uneasily, softly asking, "Did Jingrou Sis come alone?"

"Of course not, dining alone is quite boring." Though Shen Jingrou was responding to An Yin, her gaze fell beside the young lady.

The man sat with his chest upright, under his dark eyebrows lay eyes like a cold pool, exuding a chill, making Shen Jingrou’s heart beat faster, realizing she might have interrupted her brother’s date!

"Oh." An Yin didn’t ask further.

"The person dining with me, you also know." Shen Jingrou threw the line.

"Huh?" An Yin asked in confusion, "Who?"

"Gu Qingyun." Shen Jingrou stated plainly.

Gu Qingyun...

An Yin silently repeated the name in her heart, suddenly recalling some scattered fragments in her mind. Her eyes were splashed with chili water, and the boyfriend of that girl was Gu Qingyun, as she remembered, Gu Qingyun had already broken up with that girl.

"Are you very familiar with him now?" An Yin was truly curious.

"The young man is quite interesting." Shen Jingrou lowered her gaze, replying, her exquisite features fleetingly showing a trace of sorrow, disappearing in an instant.

Simple as An Yin was, she didn’t notice, instead, Bao Shaojin’s profound gaze lingered on Shen Jingrou for a few seconds.
