My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 521 - 012: Denial_2

"So, are you saying that this match is under Ah Yang’s control?" Lin Xuwan curiously tilted her head and asked.

"Sort of!" Ming Haize nodded in reply.

Hearing him say this, Lin Xuwan felt relieved and wasn’t as worried as before.

Indeed, in the first half, the score widened by twenty-two points in favor of the National Painting Department, but the people from the Oil Painting Department remained relaxed, not at all stressed, and their mood wasn’t affected by the score gap. During the break, they were still joking and laughing with each other, but this scene put a lot of pressure on the National Painting Department, prompting them to discuss new strategies.

As time passed, the second half began after the halftime break. Within about two minutes, Ling Xuyang and his team went full throttle, scoring two consecutive goals and closing the gap, causing the entire audience to become excited again. People from both the National Painting Department and Oil Painting Department were cheering for their respective teams.

Meanwhile, Nan Jiayan and his friends finished their showers and appeared in front of Lu Shishu, looking refreshed.

Lu Shishu, who had been watching the match intently, was momentarily stunned upon seeing him appear in front of her. Looking at the water droplets still on his black hair and the warm smile on his handsome face, she absentmindedly asked, "Are you... are you done showering?"

Nan Jiayan nodded, "Yeah, I’m done. The score on the court seems intense!" He then glanced at Cen Jin beside Lu Shishu and nodded in greeting.

Cen Jin, being very perceptive, noticed him still standing there and nudged Lin Xuwan beside her, giving her a look to make room. After Lin Xuwan moved over, she also shifted aside. Nan Jiayan raised an eyebrow happily and smiled, "Thank you," before naturally sitting down next to Lu Shishu.

Lu Shishu incredulously glared at Cen Jin. Were they trying to sell her out?

"It’s fine, Ah Yang can make up the score, don’t worry!" Nan Jiayan looked at the positions on the court and said with a smile.

Lu Shishu glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, not intending to engage in conversation.

By around the forty-fifth minute of the match, Ling Xuyang’s team had already tied the score. At the end, it was the National Painting Department’s defense game, but unexpectedly, the ball was snatched by Qi Feng, a guard from the Oil Painting Department. He went straight into fast attack mode, and despite being surrounded by three people, he passed the ball from behind to Ling Xuyang. Ling Xuyang mysteriously winked at him, steadily caught the ball, stood outside the three-point line, gently jumped, leaned back slightly, and threw the ball lightly.

"Three-pointer." People from the National Painting Department panicked as soon as they saw him shooting from beyond the line and hurriedly shouted, "Watch the rebound."

But clearly, Ling Xuyang didn’t give them that chance. The three-pointer landed steadily in the basket, and it was a clean shot. Ling Xuyang clenched his fist and flashed a confident smile, "Yes."

There’s no need to say more; Ling Xuyang perfectly redeemed the disadvantage from the first half and won the game with a score of 64 to 57. In the audience, Lin Xuwan was so excited that she stood up and shouted, "Ling Xuyang, well done, I love you."

Facing his cute girlfriend’s confession, Ling Xuyang laughed even more unrestrainedly, sending her a flying kiss and forming a heart with his hands, making the audience feel like they were fed with a mouthful of dog food.

Lu Shishu, Cen Jin, and He Qianyue, sitting in the same row as Lin Xuwan, felt very contemptuous of this public display of affection, severely criticizing them and threatening Lin Xuwan that she and Ling Xuyang should treat them to dinner tonight, as their dog food couldn’t be free.

Lin Xuwan was quite generous and agreed without a second thought. After all, she had plenty of money, so this kind of thing didn’t require any consideration. She even declared that they could eat whatever they wanted and choose any place they liked.

Since she had already made the offer, Lu Shishu and the others naturally wouldn’t let her off so easily, and they all unanimously agreed to have a seafood feast tonight.

Listening to this, Nan Jiayan pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and asked Lu Shishu, "Then does this mean the dinner you promised me tonight is going to fall through?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shishu was left speechless. She almost forgot about it and stared at him blankly, thinking who said being heavily in debt isn’t troubling, and now this debt of one dinner for Nan Jiayan was enough to stress her out!
