Chapter 73: Quite an Unusual Taste

Xiao Qi's face showed a look of surprise as he asked her,
"You like drinking it?"
Lin Nanxun nodded earnestly again, then asked him,
"Could you tell me... where can I buy it?"
The troublemaker likes drinking this beverage.
Hearing her say that, Xiao Qi's expression became one of disbelief.
He had bought the drink yesterday at a convenience store on a whim. After giving two bottles to the new adorable girl as a gesture of friendliness, he tried it himself. The taste... he never wanted a second sip, so the remaining bottle was left abandoned in the corner.
He never expected that she would actually like this flavor...
Her taste sure was unique.
"If you like it, then it's yours. I go to the convenience store every day for snacks, so I'll bring you some next time," Xiao Qi said generously, handing the drink to Lin Nanxun.
Hearing this, Lin Nanxun's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile, and she took the drink from him with both hands.
"Thank you."
Seeing her smile so beautifully, Xiao Qi couldn't help but grin broadly as well.
"You're welcome. If you want anything else, just tell me. I'll buy it for you."
He had always wanted a cute little sister, but unfortunately he was an only child. Now, seeing the gentle and adorable Lin Nanxun, his affection overflowed.

Lin Nanxun happily returned to the office, carefully placing the drink she had just received into the pocket of her down jacket, intending to take it back for the troublemaker.

"Boss, we did it! Qiao Yufei accepted our invitation, and I've already sent over the contract," Ye Ning burst in excitedly.
Ronan revealed a satisfied look and quickly urged,
"Well done! Tell Xiao Qi to send out the press release about the two joining our launch event, and grab some attention while we're at it!"
Ye Ning nodded and hurried off to continue his work.
The studio was busy all day, finally quieting down just before the end of the workday.
Lin Nanxun sat quietly at her desk, turning to gaze out the window at the street below.
It was time to clock out—she wondered if the troublemaker would come to pick her up today.
Just then, a black sedan slowly pulled up downstairs.
A smile appeared on Lin Nanxun's face, and her phone suddenly rang.
She quickly picked it up, answering without even checking the screen.
"Miss Lin," came Zhou Bei's voice from the speaker.
"I'm downstairs."
Hearing this, Lin Nanxun quickly replied,
"Okay." She put her phone away and rushed downstairs.

When she reached the ground floor, Zhou Bei was already waiting outside the car.
Seeing her approach, he hurried to open the car door for her.
Lin Nanxun glanced inside, but the back seat was empty.
She stopped outside, her face showing a puzzled expression.
"Where's the troublemaker?"
"The boss has work tonight and will be busy until late. He asked me to pick you up," Zhou Bei quickly explained.
Hearing this, Lin Nanxun felt a wave of disappointment. She said nothing, just quietly got in and took her seat.
With the troublemaker absent, her mood was low and she didn’t feel like talking. After sitting quietly for a while, she couldn't resist taking out her phone.
She opened the messaging app he had taught her to use and tapped his profile picture.
She wanted to send him a message, but recalling Zhou Bei's earlier words, she quietly set the phone aside.
The troublemaker seemed not to like her chatting too much.
Zhou Bei, who was driving, glanced repeatedly in the rearview mirror, and his expression suddenly became alert.
