Chapter 453: Chapter 452: Rocky’s Protective Nature
Rocky’s indifferent gaze fell on her: "It’s Ouyang Lei and Shen Mengqi."
An Nan nodded.
Rocky continued in a light tone: "And you? What do you think yourself?" He had to wait for her to affirmatively respond before he knew what to do next.
After a long silence, An Nan nodded calmly: "Get ready, but on that day, I’ll bring one more person back."
The other party knowingly nodded: "Is it Lin Mubai?"
At this point, An Nan wasn’t planning to hide anything anymore and nodded honestly.
Rocky’s voice continued: "You’re married."
The simple five words genuinely shocked An Nan; she looked at him in surprise, her red lips slightly parted, unable to utter a word.
Rocky took in her reaction, and his expression became serious again as he asked her: "Anna, do you know that person?" In fact, there was another unspoken sentence: "Anna, do you know that person well enough to marry him so easily?"
Upon hearing the news of Anna and Lin Mubai getting their marriage certificate, he sat dumbfounded on the bed for a long time, thinking he must have misheard. How long have they known each other, and they got married so suddenly? But despite the shock, he didn’t question anyone. He decided to calm down instead because at this point, questioning was meaningless. What he truly cared about now was whether she was happy.
When Rocky asked, his serious gaze remained on her face, and the sincere concern sparked a gentle warmth in An Nan’s heart. She then nodded: "Rocky, don’t worry, he’s very good to me. Or rather, besides you all, no one has treated me this well."
"Are you happy?" Rocky’s voice was slightly hesitant as he asked.
An Nan continued to nod: "I’m very happy, a happiness I’ve never felt before, so rest assured."
Only then did Rocky seem to breathe a sigh of relief and nod: "Well, Anna, if that brat ever dares to bully you in the future, you must tell me."
An Nan’s dark eyes were full of emotion: "I understand."
After a slight pause, Rocky continued: "Anna, when you get the chance, give Ouyang Lei a call. I think you’re aware of his feelings for you. If it’s for his own good, tell him yourself to truly let him give up."
"Okay, I understand. I’ll go now."
After leaving the billiards room, An Nan didn’t immediately return to the box. Instead, she leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window not far outside the box. A moment later, a gentle female voice came to her ears: "Want a smoke?"
An Nan’s surprised gaze fell on the newcomer’s face, and then a faint arc appeared at her lips: "Sure, I’ll take one."
Watching An Nan skillfully light a cigarette, Lan Xinru narrowed her eyes slightly: "You smoke often." As she finished speaking, she lit one for herself too. The pressure of studying medicine was significant, so she would occasionally smoke to relieve stress, although she wasn’t addicted.
An Nan took a deep drag and blew a perfect smoke ring into the air, then half-closed her eyes and answered: "Only when I’m feeling stressed do I take a smoke."
Over the topic of smoking, the two women leaned against the window and started a conversation.
Lan Xinru: When did you start smoking?
An Nan: When I was eighteen. How about you?
Lan Xinru: In college. Although I’m smarter than most, the stress of medical school was still heavy. After my first cigarette, I found it somewhat helpful and got used to having one occasionally.
