977 Giving Her the Lipstick (1/2)

An'an read the message twice—-I'm outside your apartment, open the door.

Oh god. He was here.

An'an didn't even put on her shoes before she ran over and pulled open the door.

A tall figure stood outside, just like a statue, back facing the light.

It was really Lu Yan.

An'an looked at him, puffing her cheeks up. ”What are you doing here, didn't Qianqian let you stay over in her hotel room?” She was still holding onto the door knob, not letting him in.

Lu Yan stretched out his hand to push open the door, stepping inside her apartment and closing the door after him. His actions were so overbearing.

He leaned against the door and chuckled. ”Someone's going to cry her nose off if I really go.”

”I'm not going to cry my nose off!” Though An'an said that, her nose was already red.

Lu Yan looked below, her feet were bare. Furrowing his brows, he questioned, ”Why are you barefoot?”

He stretched his muscular arm out, grasping her waist and easily lifting her up. An'an quickly hugged his neck.

”What's wrong, why are your eyes all red?” He leaned forward to kiss her widow's peak.

An'an hadn't felt that aggrieved before he came and asked her about it, but not that he mentioned it, she pouted her lips. ”I thought that you were going to abandon me again.”

Again, Lu Yan's heart thumped when he heard that. He used more force as he grappled her. ”You like me that much?”

He had nothing to his name now and was even disabled, why did she, a 21 year old in the prime of her youth, like him so much?

”Mmm, I just like you,” An'an lowered her head as she said.

Lu Yan's eyes crinkled into a smile. ”I bought you a gift, it's in my pocket. Take it yourself.”

He bought her a gift?

An'an's eyes lit up, she quickly reached into his pocket. ”What gift?”

Her hands were on his thigh muscles, they were merely separated by the thin material of his pants. His waist stiffened.

An'an managed to find the gift, she took it out. It was a lipstick.

He had given her a lipstick.

A man giving a woman a lipstick.

All of the grievance in An'an's heart just dissipated and her eyes crinkled into a smile as she waved the lipstick around excitedly. ”How much did it cost?”

”Not much, 3999.”

What?!

An'an gasped. ”Your paycheck is only 4000 dollars and you spent 3999 on a lipstick? Lu Yan, are you crazy?!”

She balled her hands into fists to pummel him.

Lu Yan didn't move, just letting her pummel him. It felt just like she was tickling him when her fists landed on his muscular chest. He wasn't scared of the pain, but rather, afraid that her hands would hurt.

”Go put it on now, I want to see.”

An'an was angry about him spending his money frivolously, wasting an entire month's paycheck. He was no longer like before, he had zero savings after sending the children in the mountains to the Capital for college.

”I'm not going to put it on.”

”Little Lass, you're not being good?” He pinched her waist.

It hurt! An'an slid away from his arms just like a snake. She put on her indoor slippers and walked in front of the dresser, twisting open the lipstick.

Applying the lipstick on her lips, she continued to blend it out. The lipstick was a bright red color that was highly pigmented, she just had to apply a bit of it to create a glossy, gradient lip effect.

Lifting her eyes to look in the mirror, her natural lip line was already perfect and so she usually didn't have to put on lipstick at all. But now that she had lipstick on, it complemented her fair skin so well, elevating her beauty.

She turned around, looking at him with lustrous eyes. ”Do I look good?”

Lu Yan walked over, arriving in front of her before he held her face, kissing her on the lips.
