Chapter 76 The Boisterous Rich Woman
Having walked for a while, Lin Tian took out his phone to check the time, then looked at the two and asked, "Do we want to go anywhere else for fun?"
"What time is it?" An Ningning asked curiously.
"It's eight o'clock."
"It's eight already..." An Ningning looked hesitant, and then said, "I need to go back. Let's hang out next time."
At this point, An Ningning turned his head to look at Bu Mengting, "Mengting, coming back with me?"
"Sure, my mom will nag if I return too late," Bu Mengting nodded.
"Alright then, let's go together," An Ningning said somewhat happily upon hearing Bu Mengting's words.
Then, as if something occurred to him, An Ningning looked at Lin Tian curiously, "And you...?"
"I'll walk with you guys, the hotel I'm staying at is right next to Mengting's place," Lin Tian said with a slight smile.

"Okay then," said An Ningning, a bit reluctantly. He had thought he might get some alone time with Bu Mengting. Who knew...
Right after, the three of them hailed a taxi and headed for Fenghuang Road.
Twenty minutes later, they got out of the taxi.
"Mengting, do you want us to walk you back?" An Ningning asked as they got out of the taxi.
"No need, I'm going to play at Lin Tian's place for a bit," Bu Mengting gently shook her head.
Upon hearing this, An Ningning was stunned. To Lin Tian's place? Where? To his hotel room?
Thinking this, a trace of disappointment appeared on An Ningning's face, but he quickly adjusted and put on a sunny smile, nodding to Bu Mengting, "Alright then, I'm heading back."
Having said that, he nodded to Lin Tian as well, "I'll be off first."
"Uh-huh, bye!" Lin Tian nodded back with a smile.
Watching An Ningning walk away until his figure disappeared around the corner, Lin Tian and Bu Mengting made their way to the hotel.
Bu Mengting looped her arm through Lin Tian's and leaned her head gently on his shoulder. After a moment of thought, Bu Mengting suddenly asked, "Ah Tian, is it that you don't really like it when I'm with Xiaoning?"
"Hmm?" Lin Tian was surprised, then looked down at Bu Mengting curiously, "Why do you ask that?"
Bu Mengting tilted her head thinking, "I felt something today."
"Really?" Lin Tian smiled faintly, "It's okay, but do you know he likes you?"
"Huh?" Bu Mengting was shocked, looking up at Lin Tian with some astonishment, "He likes me? Impossible!"
"Heh..." Lin Tian gently teased Mengting's nose and laughed, "You can't even tell that?"
"Impossible, we've grown up together since we were kids, he never told me he liked me!" Bu Mengting said with a puzzled face.
"Not having said it doesn't mean he doesn't like you!" Lin Tian smiled faintly, "You should trust my feelings, a man's intuition!"
Mengting pouted, "Man's intuition? Isn't it supposed to be woman's intuition?"
"Actually, a man's intuition can be quite accurate, too, you should trust my feelings!" Lin Tian said confidently. He was certain that An Ningning had feelings for Bu Mengting.
It was evident from the look in his eyes.
"Then, then what should I do?" Bu Mengting seemed a bit stunned, and hesitantly asked, "Should I reject him?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian laughed, "Girl, what are you rejecting? He hasn't even said he likes you yet."
"Then what should I do?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"What else can you do? Just take it as it comes!" Lin Tian said with a faint smile.
"So, you're not angry?"
"Angry about what? Angry that you interact with him?" Lin Tian said with confidence, "Not everyone is named Lin Tian. I have faith in myself. Besides..."
Pausing, Lin Tian then continued, "Besides, from what I saw today, he's not a bad person, quite a gentleman. He's the kind of person who's worth being friends with!"
Having interacted with him throughout the day, Lin Tian found An Ningning to be quite straightforward.
Someone like him wouldn't resort to sneaky tricks; he would be upfront and honest.
And being upfront and honest was something Lin Tian wasn't afraid of at all. He didn't believe that with the Supernatural Ability System, he could be any less outstanding than him.
Moreover, the most important point was, Lin Tian couldn't possibly forbid Bu Mengting from interacting with any men in the future. That was impossible.
Thinking that An Ningning was a pretty good person, apart from the fact that he liked Bu Mengting which irked Lin Tian, his impression of him was still very positive.
"That's good to hear!" Bu Mengting breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Tian's words.
Truth be told, Bu Mengting didn't have romantic feelings for An Ningning, but they had grown up together. An Ningning had helped her a lot, and in Bu Mengting's view, he was like an older brother to her.
If Lin Tian had been unhappy and forbade her from interacting with An Ningning, she would have complied, but it would definitely have affected her mood.
"Husband, thank you!" Bu Mengting tightened her hold on Lin Tian's arm and said with a sweet expression.
"What did you just call me? Say it again," Lin Tianyi was taken aback, stopped in his tracks, and looked down with some surprise at Bu Mengting.
With Lin Tian staring at her like that, Bu Mengting's pretty face instantly turned bright red, and she lowered her head with embarrassment, "I definitely won't!"
"Then why did you call me that just now!"
"Don't wanna!" Bu Mengting stubbornly refused to speak.
"Fine! Just wait and see how I deal with you later!"
At this point, the two had already arrived outside the hotel.
Half an hour later, Bu Mengting walked out of the hotel with a slightly flushed face. Meanwhile, Lin Tian followed behind her with a mischievous smile, ready to take her home.
They didn't go all the way in the hotel tavern, but Lin Tian still got to enjoy a lot of perks. If there had been more time, Lin Tian even thought he might have taken Bu Mengting by force.
About fifteen minutes later, Lin Tian stopped beneath Bu Mengting's building and gave her a wave goodbye, "See you tomorrow."
"Mhm!" Bu Mengting softly nodded her head in acknowledgment, then turned and ran quickly up to her apartment.
It wasn't until Bu Mengting's figure disappeared from sight that Lin Tian turned and left.
**
The next day, at eight in the morning, after eating breakfast, Lin Tian was making a phone call while taking the hotel elevator downstairs.
"Alright, I'm coming down now, just wait for me a bit. Yeah, bye-bye." After a few words, Lin Tian hung up the phone.
The day before, Lin Tian and Bu Mengting had already agreed to go shopping together.
Of course, since An Ningning had stubbornly insisted on coming along, Lin Tian didn't have the heart to say no and exclude him.
Not long after hanging up the phone, there was a 'ding' as the elevator door opened. Lin Tian glanced and saw that he had reached the first floor.
He quickly stepped out, and as soon as he walked out of the elevator, Lin Tian immediately saw Bu Mengting and An Ningning sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby.
After giving them a quick glance, Lin Tian approached with a small smile, "Let's go!"
Then, the three of them hailed a cab and headed for the pedestrian street.
Twenty minutes later, they alighted from the cab and walked toward the pedestrian street.
Lin Tian felt somewhat impatient with shopping, but since Bu Mengting enjoyed it, he had no choice but to accompany her.
At first, Lin Tian was energetic, following wherever Bu Mengting went and occasionally commenting on the clothes and shoes she picked out.
But after an hour, Lin Tian visibly wilted, trailing behind Bu Mengting and An Ningning, periodically pulling out his phone to read a novel.
He wasn't interested in speaking anymore.
An Ningning, on the other hand, was in high spirits, always following right behind Bu Mengting.
Lin Tian glanced over but paid no mind, occasionally lifting his head to check their location before resuming his novel.
If the distance grew too great, Lin Tian would quicken his pace to catch up, then return to his novel.
Half an hour later, just as Lin Tian was engrossed in his reading, he suddenly heard a quarrel not far ahead, which included Bu Mengting's voice.
On hearing this, Lin Tian was startled, then put away his phone and quickened his pace.
Lin Tian hurried over and saw Bu Mengting, then slowed down.
At that moment, Bu Mengting seemed to be talking to a woman in her forties.
Despite the heavy makeup on her face, it couldn't hide the dark spots scattered across her skin. She also wore a massive gold necklace around her neck.
The chain was thick, resembling a dog's leash.
Not only was her attire memorable to Lin Tian, but her physique was also hard to forget...
With a height of only 1.6 meters, Lin Tian guessed her weight to be at least 170 pounds.
A big fat woman, indeed.
As Lin Tian observed this rich woman, she suddenly took a stack of red banknotes from her colorful purse and slapped it onto the table: "This money should be enough, give me that dress."
Bu Mengting looked at her with some irritation, "I told you, I saw the dress first. I won't sell it no matter the price!"
At that moment, Bu Mengting was holding a white dress in her hands.
"Not enough?" The rich woman again took a stack of red banknotes out of her purse and smacked it down on the counter, "Is this enough? How much do you want, just say it!"
An Ningning also looked annoyed, staring discontentedly at the rich woman, "Just because you have some money you think you're something special? We already told you, no means no. When will you ever stop?"
"There's nothing money can't do. I am rich, that's right. How much are you asking for? Ten thousand or twenty thousand?" The rich woman's attitude was brazen, and as her mouth opened and closed, the round lumps of flesh on her face started to jiggle.
Lin Tian was about to walk over when his steps suddenly halted, and after a moment's thought, he turned and quickly strode out of the store.
Five minutes later, Lin Tian came back, briskly walking with a black bag in hand.
