36. Chapter Thirty-Six: I Kiss You Once You Say It
She was eager to know the answer.
An Xiaonuan went to check An's mother's body gently, but found no wounds. In the end, she had to go out.
This question stayed in her heart, like a wound, making her feel a dull pain.

When An Xing came back, he found her at home, "Why are you at home so early today?"
"Come back and get something."
An carefully nodded and went back to his room. He came out half an hour later. He had changed his clothes and put on makeup on his face. He carried his bag and said, "Your brother-in-law invited me to dinner tonight. Tell auntie that I won't be back tonight."
have eaten."
Before An Xiaonuan could respond, An Xiaonuan walked quickly towards the door of the living room, very anxious.
Since he made an appointment with An to have dinner tonight, he didn't need to go there tonight.
Thinking of this, she let out a long breath.
In the evening, it started snowing outside.
There were only An Xiaonuan and An's mother at the dining table, and the others were not at home.
Even An's father didn't come back.
An's mother looked even worse. An Xiaonuan lowered her head and ate. The mother and daughter sat together without saying much.
After eating, An's mother still went upstairs. An Xiaonuan was left in the living room. She couldn't stay any longer, so she put on her down jacket and hat and went out.
While walking on foot, there was light snow falling in the sky. After a while, the ground was already covered with a layer of white.
Every step you take leaves a footprint.
A fancy car stopped quickly next to her, splashing a layer of snowflakes, and Lin Jiaoyang opened the door and got out.
"boarding."
An Xiaonuan raised her face, and the snowflakes fell on her skin, giving her a slight chill.
"Where are you going?"
Lin Jiaoyang grabbed her hand and pushed her into the passenger seat. He walked around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat.
"If you don't hold an umbrella, you're going somewhere."
“Just take a stroll and enjoy the beautiful scenery.”
Lin Jiaoyang took out a hand warmer bag and handed it to her, "Here, it's charging at any time to warm your hands."
An Xiaonuan looked at her frozen red hands and smiled at him, "Thank you."
Lin Jiaoyang didn't like hearing her being so polite to him, "From now on, you are not allowed to say thank you. Otherwise, if you say it once, I will kiss you once."
An Xiaonuan was speechless. What logic is this?
But the warmth on her hands reminded her that this man had a careful side. There was a beautiful rabbit on the hand warmer bag, which looked like a new one. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
I watched him drive the car straight to the city center and parked next to a Western restaurant.
"I already ate."
"But your fiancé, I'm still hungry. Come and have a meal with me."
He held her hand domineeringly and stepped into the restaurant.
Walking to the door, An Xiaonuan immediately saw Gu Changqing and An Xingxin sitting in the window seat.
At the first moment, Gu Changqing's eyes fell on her, which meant that he saw her and Lin Jiaoyang when they got out of the car.
Lin Jiaoyang also saw them and took her hand and walked over there.
"Shall we go to the other side?" she asked in a low voice.
"Your sister is over there, let's go and sit together."
An Xiaonuan couldn't find an excuse to refute and sat down next to An Xiaoxin.
"What a coincidence." Lin Jiaoyang said with a gentle smile on his eyebrows.
An Xingxin was a little unhappy, but in front of Gu Changqing, she couldn't say anything.

Lin Jiaoyang ordered a medium rare steak and ordered dessert for Xiao Nuan.
An Xiaonuan was very quiet. She simply lowered her head and tasted the dessert slowly so as not to always meet Gu Changqing's eyes.
