Chapter 1267: 1266 You are not the sa as her
“What are you laughing at?”
Bai Yiyi frowned, looking puzzled at the man in the driver’s seat. Had she said sothing wrong?
He’s not allowed to call a woman who’s interested in him in the middle of the night, but it’s okay for him to disturb her at that ti?
What kind of nonsense is that.
“You’re different from her.”
The corners of Gu Kai’s mouth curled up into a pleased arc, and Bai Yiyi couldn’t tell if it was an illusion, but Gu Kai’s tone seed sohow different.
The smile in his eyes seed to carry a deeper aning, a flicker of sothing she couldn’t understand.
Subconsciously, Bai Yiyi turned her gaze away, her heartbeat uncontrollably missing a beat.
Seeing her turn her face to look out of the car window, Gu Kai’s eyes flickered, then he looked ahead again, focusing on driving.
The silence suddenly fell inside the car.
The atmosphere, without conversation, was not awkward, and the air began to breed a subtle tension, gradually perating every inch of space.
Only when the Maybach reached Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory and stopped at the gate did Bai Yiyi unbuckle her seatbelt. She turned and reminded Gu Kai, “Rember to call Wei Jingshan. I said yesterday that no matter what the result is, we would inform her.”
Gu Kai’s brows furrowed, “You are so keen to help her?”
Bai Yiyi blinked in confusion, “She said she’s been an orphan since childhood and was raised by a kindly grandma.”
At this point, Bai Yiyi didn’t continue speaking and opened the car door to get out.
Gu Kai narrowed his eyes, his tall figure leaning back in the driver’s seat, turning his head to watch through the car window as Bai Yiyi walked into the factory gates, her figure growing distant, until she disappeared in front of the office building. Only then did he start the engine and drive off in a flurry.

A City
The weather was not pleasing, with rain pouring down early in the morning.
An Lin was awakened by a knock on the door, having suffered from insomnia, she had only fallen asleep at three in the morning.
Opening her eyes, they felt sowhat dry.
She got out of bed, walked over, and when she opened the door and saw it was Qin Mu, a flash of surprise passed through her eyes, followed by a frown, “I thought it was my mom, why is it you?”
Qin Mu’s gaze swept over her pajamas, the corners of his mouth lifting into a gentle arc, and he said softly, “Mom told to co up and call you.”
“Auntie is here too?”
An Lin turned and walked back inside, her words casual as she spoke.
Qin Mu followed her into the room and sat down on the sofa, speaking calmly, “It’s not my mom, it’s your mom. After we get the certificate today, we’ll be husband and wife, and your parents will be my parents as well.”
At those words, An Lin abruptly turned to look at Qin Mu.
Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, “What, did I say sothing wrong?”
“Stop smiling at like that; it makes dizzy.” An Lin tossed out an off-topic comnt and hurried into the walk-in closet.
Qin Mu pondered her words for a mont, then touched his own smile-curving mouth again. Then, quite narcissistically, he stood up and went to look at himself in the mirror—was he really that handso?
Perhaps it was the resolve to take responsibility for An Lin and the commitnt to spend a lifeti with her that made Qin Mu adapt to their relationship so quickly. It’s only been two days, and he was already fully comfortable with the new dynamic between him and An Lin.
Although he didn’t have feelings for her yet, he believed he a could genuinely co to like her.
After An Lin changed clothes and freshened up in the bathroom, Qin Mu was still sitting on the sofa with one leg crossed, waiting for her.
“Alright, let’s go.”
An Lin finished washing up and gestured to Qin Mu on the sofa.
Qin Mu stood up, squinting as he sized her up, “Aren’t you putting on makeup?”
“Why should I wear makeup? Do I look that bad?” An Lin frowned. Did he think it was comfortable to sar things on her face all day?
Qin Mu shook his head, “You don’t look bad. It’s raining outside, take a coat.”
An Lin glanced at the patio doors then turned and went into the walk-in closet, coming out with a shawl.
Descending the stairs together, An Lin’s parents were sitting on the living room sofa. Seeing them co down, they imdiately stood up and smiled asking, “Ah Mu, are you two heading out? Do you want us to accompany you?”
“Mom, why would you co with us? You’re not the ones getting a license.”
Without waiting for Qin Mu to say anything, An Lin imdiately refused.
Her gaze lingered for a second on Mom An, then she scrutinized Dad An, “Dad, Mom, you two are dressed so nicely, why don’t you go out shopping, have so tea, watch a movie or sothing.”
“Silly girl, what are you talking about?”
Mom An straightened her face, glaring fiercely at An Lin, but when she looked at Qin Mu, her expression softened imdiately: “Ah Mu, then we won’t follow. After you and An Lin collect your license, there’s no rush to co back. Just co ho for dinner in the evening.”
“Okay, Mom.”
A smile crossed Qin Mu’s face, his attitude exceedingly good.
Hearing Qin Mu call her mom “Mom,” An Lin still wasn’t quite used to it and inadvertently raised her head to look at him.
Qin Mu felt her gaze, turned his head to look at her, hesitated slightly, and then captured her hand that hung by her side. An Lin stiffened, a trace of surprise flickering through her eyes.
“Dad, Mom, we’re off then.”
Without changing his expression, Qin Mu politely greeted Dad An and Mom An. Under their beaming gazes, he led An Lin by the hand and left An’s Ho.
Once in the car, An Lin spoke indifferently, “Thank you for the act in front of my parents just now. But you don’t have to do that in the future. You can interact with like we did before.”
Qin Mu was starting the car and seed not to have heard her. He didn’t even furrow his brow.
It wasn’t until they hit the road that Qin Mu turned to her, looking at An Lin, “What I did just now wasn’t an act.”
An Lin, having said that, turned her head back to look out the car window.
At this mont, she was staring at the rapidly retreating buildings outside when she unexpectedly heard Qin Mu’s words. Startled, she spoke with a touch of humor, “Ah Mu, it’s not like I just t you today. I’ve always known you have no feelings for . You really don’t have to try so hard.”
“I’m not trying hard either, An Lin, you’ve always been bad at Chinese, don’t misuse adjectives. We’ll talk more after we get the license.”
Qin Mu was afraid that if the discussion continued, An Lin would get angry and refuse to go through with the registration.
He knew An Lin’s temperant better than she knew herself.
“Let’s not talk about it then. My Chinese was taught by a PE teacher,” An Lin retorted, rolling her eyes before turning back to continue looking at the quickly receding buildings outside the window.
Qin Mu just smiled and wasn’t offended.
Due to the rain, they drove slowly.
Seeing that An Lin was truly remaining silent, just staring out the window in a daze, after two minutes, Qin Mu spoke again, “It might take a while to get to the Civil Affairs Bureau. If you’re sleepy, take a rest with your eyes closed. I’ll wake you when we get there.”
“No need.”
An Lin glanced at him and gently shook her head.
He was driving, and it didn’t seem right for her to sleep.
Even though he didn’t like her, she liked him, and she still wanted to be there with him.
