Chapter 1040: From the First Look Until the Last (3)
Looking around, Sheng Yize saw mostly junior and senior high school students, the majority of whom were girls. Standing tall in his neat suit, Sheng Yize looked very out of place.
Searching the hall, Sheng Yize finally felt that he wasn’t alone when he spotted another tall figure.
And it was someone he knew.
It was An Yibei.
An Xiaxia saw him as well and was utterly baffled.
Holy crap! Since when was her big brother into anime stuff?
What she found even more frightening was that a girl next to An Yibei had put an adorable bear hairpin in his hair, but all he did was frown a little, and showed no intention to remove it.
What?! That was something!
An Xiaxia’s eyes lit up. “Wait! Is that my future sister-in-law? Shall I go say hi?”
Su Xiaomo took a quick glance and commented, “Nice boobs, long legs, tiny waist, and good-looking. Your brother is a very lucky man!”
Sheng Yize stopped An Xiaxia, who was going to rush over, and said in a low voice, “Restrain yourself. You’ll scare her away!”
He had a point. That was such a hard-earned sister-in-law!
“Let’s follow them around in secret!”
Sheng Yize was speechless. Are you sure?
The president of Shengshi not only had to accompany his wife to a comic convention, but was now stalking her brother with her… This was so not what he had in mind for this morning.

Ai Bao blushed in excitement and stole a glance at the tall figure next to her.
She had talked to a friend over the phone yesterday, speaking excitedly about Comicon and the fact that she had an extra ticket.
However, her friend later told Ai Bao that something had come up and she couldn’t go. Ai Bao was greatly disappointed.
The door to An Yibei’s office opened at that moment. He came out and raised an eyebrow. “Are you free tomorrow?”
“Huh?” Ai Bao looked at him with a blank face.
“Come to the office, then.” An Yibei adjusted his glasses. “Make some contributions to our firm.”
Ai Bao said with a long face, “But you don’t have a case at the moment…”
An Yibei gave it some thought. “You can come and play ‘Link Them All.’”
Ai Bao was speechless. Why would she come to the office to play some dumb computer game when she could have a lie-in or go out to have some fun?
“Heh… why waste electricity…” Ai Bao forced a smile, then pleaded, “Mr. An, I’m going to a comic convention tomorrow…”
She had no idea how lovely her soft voice was.
An Yibei narrowed his eyes behind his glasses.
“What’s a comic convention?”
“It’s where a lot of people dress up as their favorite anime characters and you can buy comics and comic-related collectibles there…” Ai Bao’s voice happily grew animated at the mention of her hobby.
An Yibei nodded. “Take me with you.”
Ai Bao was surprised. “What?”
“It’s a deal.” An Yibei turned around and went back to his office.
It took Ai Bao a very, very long time to digest what had just happened. Mr. An was going to Comicon with her!

“Ai Bao.” An Yibei pointed at a teenager in the distance and frowned. “Why is that guy wearing eyeliner?”
“Well… because it’s cosplay. The character he’s dressed up as wears eyeliner, and that’s sort of his thing!”
“I see…” An Yibei looked lost. At his age, he only found the kids here rather… silly.
There was a commotion, and everyone hurried toward the stage. Ai Bao took a look and cried out in surprise. “The event is starting now! That famous voice actor, Ink Painting on Porcelain, is here!”
An Yibei glanced in that direction and frowned. “Why is Wu Hanxiao here?”
