An Lang blocked Lin Dan's hand and said softly, "These tasks can be left to men. Ladies, please go in and rest." He was more than a head taller than Lin Dan, and was estimated to be more than 190 cm tall. The expensive suit wrapped around his body, revealing his strong muscles. He is a businessman and a fighter.
Upon learning that An Zishi and An Chongying were coming to the cabin to record a program, Lin Dan searched for information about the An family on the Internet and naturally knew An Lang's life. Before the accident happened to the eldest son of the An family, he was an out-and-out soldier. Even though he had been retired for many years, the unique military spirit had not disappeared at all. Lin Dan could smell the smell of gunpowder from him. Perhaps others would feel nervous, frightened and afraid to approach him, but for some reason, she actually liked him very much. She naturally has some liking for soldiers.
"Thank you." She curved her eyebrows and smiled.
An Lang's hand holding the luggage paused for two seconds, and then he said gently, "You're welcome. It's my duty." He looked at An Zishi with a stern expression, "What are you still standing there for? Come and move the luggage."
An Zishi resigned himself to walking to the nanny car and carrying down box after box, soon filling up the space in front of the cabin. Bai Zhilan was stunned and asked: "Are you moving?"
"I have four pieces of luggage, your Uncle An only has one, and the rest all belong to An Zishi. He is a very troublesome person." An Chongying complained.
"Since the men have decided to help, we ladies can go in and rest." Lin Dan rubbed Bai Zhilan's head and ordered, "Go pour tea for the guests."
Bai Zhilan's nervous mood was relieved immediately, and she jumped back to the house to boil water. The audience looked at her slender figure and exquisite and beautiful face, and couldn't help but admire Bai Ma's superb medical skills.
"Zhilan has gained a lot of weight and become much prettier. Your medical skills are very good." After sitting down, An Chongying wanted to start a conversation.
Lin Dan looked at her carefully and reminded her, "You have a weak constitution and you also need to recuperate."
An Chongying's eyes lit up and he immediately wanted to ask more questions, but he had to give up because of the dozens of cameras around him. Just at this moment, Bai Zhilan brought a few cups of tea and interrupted their conversation. Lin Dan is not good at talking and doesn't like socializing, but that doesn't mean she has low emotional intelligence. Even if she can see some things at a glance, she won't say anything.
While the three of them were chatting, An Lang and An Zishi finally finished moving all the luggage. The audience cheered for the two and gave them tips, they were simply overjoyed.
Lin Dan looked at his watch and said, "It's almost four o'clock. What would you like to eat tonight? I'll make it."
"I was expecting you to say that!" An Zhongying chuckled and said, "I want to order a dish of fried fish and shrimp. I came to H Province once before and had this dish. It was very fragrant and crispy. I have never forgotten it."
"I'm trying to lose weight recently, so Aunt Lin, just stir-fry a few side dishes." An Zishi waved his hand.
"I want to eat chestnut stewed chicken, boneless fish, braised pork, and tofu meatballs." An Lang ordered four dishes in one breath.
A viewer asked in surprise: [Oh my god, has Boss An watched Bai Ma’s live broadcast? The dishes he ordered were all Bai Zhilan’s favorites, which Bai’s mother often cooked. 】
【impossible. Anlang is a business tycoon and is busy all day long. How can he have the time to watch live broadcasts? I say to Bai Zhilan's fans, could you please stop flattering Bai Zhilan and her mother? Although they are beautiful, they are not worth every penny and not everyone will like them. What level of person is An Lang? What level of person are they? If it weren't for his nephew, An Lang would never have participated in this show. Bai Zhilan and her mother couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes! 】
However, as soon as this sentence appeared on the screen, An Lang said frankly: "I often watch your live broadcast, and I have always wanted to eat the dishes you cook."
The haters’ faces were instantly swollen after being slapped by An Lang, while the rest of the audience felt both fantastic and sour. Bai Ma’s cooking skills are unmatched!
Bai Zhilan seemed to remember something and blurted out, "Uncle An, you are not that rich man Lang, are you?"
Lin Dan looked directly at the tall and handsome man, her eyes full of surprise.
An Lang nodded without hesitation: "It's me, so I came here because of your reputation. I hope I didn't offend you two."
The audience was collectively speechless, and then started celebrating again after a few seconds: [Ahhhhhhh! I used to be in the same live broadcast room with Lang’s father! Why didn't I take a screenshot? 】
[Oh shit, I even flirted with Boss An!] I'm done! 】
[No wonder the rich man Lang is generous in giving gifts, it turns out that he has a mine at home! 】
[Those haters said that Lang Tuhao was Bai Zhilan's financial sponsor. Have they been slapped in the face now? Bai Zhilan doesn’t even know that Lang is Boss An! They just recognized each other now! 】
[Have you missed the point? An Lang said he was coming for Bai Ma, didn’t you hear it? Bai Ma is in her early forties and An Lang is forty-six. They are both single, and they are both talented and beautiful. They are such a perfect match! An Lang has only two relatives, one is An Chongying and the other is An Zishi. Now they are both brought here by him. Isn’t this the rhythm of a blind date? 】
[You're overthinking. What kind of family is the An family?] How could they let a divorced village woman with children into their home? 】
There was a commotion in the live broadcast room, but Lin Dan remained calm as ever. She was neither flattered by An Lang's words nor did she show any defensiveness or alienation. She liked people who were straightforward, so she smiled and said, "No offense. I sent you a few bottles of bibimbap sauce before. Do you like it?"
"It's delicious." Thinking of those sauces, An Lang couldn't help but smile with pleasure.
An Zishi was surprised and said, "So those bottles of rice sauce were made by Aunt Lin? Every morning when I cook noodles, I don't add any sauce, I just scoop two spoonfuls of rice sauce, and it smells so good! Aunt Lin, if you open a factory specializing in sauces, you will definitely make a lot of money."
An Lang said helplessly: "You sent me four bottles of sauce, and he secretly ate up two bottles while I wasn't paying attention."
"I locked the remaining two bottles in the wine cabinet and will only take them out when we eat." An Chongying complained.
Lin Dan chuckled and said, "If you like it, I'll make more and bring it back for you."
"Thank you Aunt Lin, I like beef sauce the most. Please make more beef." An Zishi climbed up the pole.
An Lang said gently, "I like all flavors."
Lin Dan agreed and stood up, explaining, "Then you guys sit down first. I'll go to the mountain to pick some chestnuts. Zhilan loves to eat chicken stewed with chestnuts, and she has eaten up all the stock at home." After saying that, he looked at his daughter and ordered, "Zhilan, take the guests to their room and settle them down. I'll be back soon."
An Zhongying and An Zishi were about to nod their heads in agreement, but An Lang suggested, "Let me go to the mountain with you to pick chestnuts. The mountain road is not easy to walk on, and it's not safe for you to go alone."
Lin Dan looked at his expensive suit and leather shoes, shook his head and said, "It has just rained in the past two days, and the road in the mountain is full of mud. It's not suitable for you to wear this."
"It's okay, I brought rubber shoes and casual clothes." An Lang opened his suitcase and took out a pair of long boots and a set of training uniforms. These were what he brought home when he retired from the army. More than ten years have passed, and his figure has not changed at all and he can still wear them.
Lin Dan was stunned for a long while before slowly nodding. This Mr. An Lang seems to be different from what is described on the Internet. He is not cold, serious or rigid at all. Instead, he is very approachable.
Audience: [If Boss An hadn’t come prepared, I would have eaten my keyboard! Visiting someone and then doing the work is the standard procedure for hooking up. 】
【Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know!】 An Lang used to be a soldier, so what’s wrong with preparing a few sets of training uniforms? Maybe he likes to wear rubber shoes and camouflage in private? Who is Bai Zhilan's mother? Is she worthy of An Lang? 】
[The person above, I advise you not to be too confident when speaking, or you might get slapped in the face by Boss An again later. I think Bai Ma is very good, there is no such thing as being worthy of her. 】
Lin Dan had no reason to refuse An Lang anymore, so she had to let him go back to the house to change his clothes. Then she also changed into a black casual outfit and put on straight boots. How could An Zhongying and An Zishi miss the opportunity to watch the fun? They expressed their desire to go too and even borrowed a few sets of dirt-resistant work clothes and non-slip rubber shoes from the director.
A group of people gathered at the door. Lin Dan distributed linen gloves and straw hats and reminded them, "Chestnut shells have thorns. Be sure to wear hats and gloves properly to be careful not to get pricked."
An Zishi glanced at his uncle and said with a smile, "Aunt Lin, my uncle's hands are too big. Your gloves don't fit."
"They're really a little small." Lin Dan looked at An Lang's big hands and said helplessly, "There are only Zhilan and I at home, so the gloves I bought are all small sizes. How about you stand further away when picking chestnuts?"
"It's okay, I have prepared gloves." An Lang took out a pair of gloves from his trouser pocket like a magic trick.
Bai Zhilan was amused by him and teased, "Uncle An, you are so well prepared. You are not here just to work for us, are you?" After meeting him, she found that An Lang was not serious at all. Instead, he was particularly kind to her. Over time, she was no longer nervous.
An Lang glanced at Lin Dan and said frankly, "Yes, I came here specifically to work for your mother."
The sound of slapping faces suddenly rang out in the live broadcast room. All those who had previously clamored that Lin Dan was unworthy shut up. Even An Zishi’s fans did not dare to attack Bai Zhilan anymore. If An Lang really fell in love with Bai Ma, then Bai Zhilan would become An Zishi's sister, and she would instantly rise from a third-rate star to a lady from a famous family. Who could afford to offend her?
[No way?] This development was totally beyond my expectations. What about the recording of the show? How did it turn into a large-scale blind date scene? I don't believe it, you must be overthinking it! 】
How could that be? Bai Zhilan asked Boss An if he was here to help them with the work, but Boss An answered clearly: "I am here specifically to work for your mother." Isn't the meaning obvious enough? 】
[The word "specialized" is used very well!] Whether in life or work, Boss An's style has never changed, he is straightforward and undisguised! 】
[It’s also possible that he was joking.] 】Someone said weakly.
Lin Dan was not a fool, so she naturally heard the hidden meaning in An Lang's words, but she was not a narcissist or a lovelorn person, so she would fall for it immediately. This man was too strange to her. She didn't understand him at all, so how could she accept him? Just assume he is joking. Love is something that should be left to nature and cannot be forced.
Thinking of this, she smiled slightly and took it over silently.
An Lang stared at her reaction, feeling neither disappointed nor frustrated. Before coming here, he was prepared to endure all kinds of blows and rejections. If he could give up easily, he would just cancel his Falcon account and leave the live broadcast room. Why would he make this trip all the way here?
