Wu Yong put the things on the table, then patted Lin Tian on the shoulder and said with a mischievous look in his eyes, "I won't be your third wheel. This room has good sound insulation, so you two can play freely."

With that, Wu Yong fled the room as if escaping.

If he didn't run away, he was afraid Lin Tian would kick him in the butt, and with Xu Ning'an's iron fist, that captivating feeling would make Wu Yong's legs tremble just thinking about it.

After Wu Yong ran out, the atmosphere in the room became awkward. Lin Tian picked up the two boxes of food on the table, started opening the packaging, and said, "My buddy just likes to joke around, talks nonsense, don't mind him."

Xu Ning'an didn't mind, instead, she rested her chin on her hand, lost in her thoughts.

Lin Tian opened the packaging to find it was two portions of braised chicken. He placed one on the table in front of Xu Ning'an, then began eating himself.

Tonight, he and Meng Nan were too busy drinking, barely touched the feast on the table, and after several bathroom trips, his stomach was empty again.

Xu Ning'an was obviously hungry too, continuously stuffing several rice balls into her mouth, not even eating the dishes, as if she hadn't eaten in days.

Sure enough, eating this way, she soon choked and started hiccuping continuously.

Lin Tian hurriedly handed over a bottle of mineral water, patting her back, "Eat slower, I'm not fighting you for it."

Xu Ning'an's pretty face flushed a little, thinking about how she ate like a hungry ghost just now, and those hiccups were really unladylike.

Would Lin Tian think her eating manner is always so ugly?

But after drinking a few small sips of water, Xu Ning'an patted her chest to stop the hiccups.

Putting down the bottle of water, Xu Ning'an poked at the rice in her box with chopsticks, not daring to lift her head, she asked, "Do you think my eating manner is ugly?"

"Not at all, it's quite cute and genuine." Lin Tian honestly said; this was what he genuinely thought.

"You just know how to sweet talk girls."

Although she said this, Xu Ning'an's heart felt sweet, hoping he would praise her a bit more.

But Lin Tian wasn't a mind reader; he didn't continue to compliment her but transferred some chicken from his box to Xu Ning'an's while asking, "Why didn't you eat the food Wu Yong brought for you?"

"I just feel his money isn't clean, so I don't want to eat his stuff." Xu Ning'an said softly yet stubbornly.

Lin Tian laughed, "Are you silly? If his money is really unclean, you shouldn't be polite with him. With your appetite, you should eat till he's broke."

Xu Ning'an chuckled and scolded, "You're the big eater, you pig."

Lin Tian wasn't offended, just chuckled twice and asked, "How did you get caught in the bar by those people?"

Xu Ning'an's hand paused while picking up food, then she smiled, thought for a while, and said, "Haven't you seen it in the movies? Those brave cops go deep in enemy lines to get evidence of criminal deeds, and end up failing... I am that brave cop."

"Actually, I should thank your buddy. If she hadn't gone there tonight, I might have been dealt with by those people."

Lin Tian knew full well what "dealt with" meant.

Although the consequences of killing a cop are severe, letting her escape had even more serious consequences. Of these two, the former had some room for maneuver, so if Wu Yong hadn't gone to that bar tonight, Xu Ning'an most likely wouldn't have survived.

"So did you find out anything?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

Xu Ning'an nodded, her cheeky voice carrying a hint of pride, "Yes, and it's quite valuable information. But I can't tell you."

Lin Tian nodded with a smile, not concerned.

After finishing their meal, Lin Tian stuffed the clothes on the table into her arms and said, "Go take a shower first."

Holding the bag of clothes, Xu Ning'an nodded to Lin Tian, then changed into slippers and walked into the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Lin Tian tilted his head to glance at the frosted glass of the bathroom door, a blur with nothing visible.

Even though Lin Tian had X-ray vision, he didn't use it.

Respecting women is very important.

Feeling bored, Lin Tian picked up his phone and started scrolling.

After a while, the bathroom door opened again, and a tall Xu Ning'an walked out, instantly capturing Lin Tian's gaze.

Is this the same Xu Ning'an from just now?

How did Xu Ning'an look just now?

Covered in dust, messy hair, a face full of grime. Upon close inspection, you could discern her delicate features and those eyes full of Spiritual Qi.

Both disheveled and haggard.

But now, Xu Ning'an was a beautiful woman fresh from a bath, with her unadorned face, cool lips, straight nose, slender and lively eyes, and those captivatingly long eyelashes fluttering.

Her wet hair naturally draped over her snow-white shoulders and sexy collarbones, with a slender, fair neck.

She was wearing a white floral dress that captured her graceful figure.

Below the dress, half a length of sexy, smooth, and well-proportioned legs were exposed.

Suddenly, Lin Tian noticed a drop of water falling from her hair, slipping into the deep, white groove at her chest.

What a fortunate waterdrop.

She was still wearing those light blue flip-flops, highlighting her delicate and playful small feet, making "thwap thwap" playful sounds as she walked.

"Hey, what are you staring at?" Xu Ning'an playfully scolded.

Lin Tian snapped back to reality, rubbed his nose, "Looking at a big beauty. I think the previous down-to-earth look was nice, now you look like a fairy."

Lin Tian expected his teasing would make her blush, but instead, she proudly lifted her head and said, "I am a fairy after all."

"Haha." Lin Tian laughed out loud.

"Why are you laughing! You were the one praising me, how can you laugh!"

Xu Ning'an frowned, suddenly thinking this guy was quite the bastard.

"No, no, don't misunderstand, I just think you're very genuine."

"Hmph, I'll believe you for now. But... am I going to sleep like this tonight?"

Lin Tian looked at her puzzled, "You want to sleep here? Aren't you going home?"

"Hmm?" Xu Ning'an suddenly became serious, looked at Lin Tian and asked, "Are you willing to let me go back?"

"Of course, you eat so much, what's the point of keeping you here?" Lin Tian laughed.

A smile also spread across Xu Ning'an's face. "Great, I can go back... No, since you are willing to let me go back, why did you let me shower here?"

Lin Tian touched his hair, thought seriously for a few seconds, "Why? I don't know either."

"Lin Tian, you're a big bad guy."

"I'm a good person."

"Big bad guy."
