Chapter 1006 - 1025: Husband and Wife Standoff
As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to dash into the garden, and her sudden movement startled the man beside her. Lin Mubai quickly extended his arm, wrapped her in his embrace, and said disapprovingly in her ear, "Look at your current state, behaving so impulsively."
An Nan immediately stuck out her tongue with an innocent expression, "I’m fine, you don’t have to make such a fuss."
While speaking, her eyes kept glancing toward the door, and she faintly heard a lot of noise.
At the same time, her heart was itching, desperate to join them now and wait quietly for the New Year’s bell to ring.
But it was clear her hopes were dashed, as the man dragged her straight back to their room.
Her face turned anxious in an instant, "Shouldn’t we be going to the courtyard? Why are we returning to the room?"
As she spoke, her small face was as pitiful as could be.
Lin Mubai continued to ignore her directly. After bringing her into the room, he let go of her hand and went to the floor-to-ceiling window. As he pulled the curtains, An Nan saw the entire view of the courtyard, where everyone was busily setting up fireworks, including the youngest, An Jiayou.
Then she eagerly walked up and became sad again.
"I want to go too, I don’t want to just stand here watching—it’s meaningless." An Nan quickly understood this man’s intent, but her answer was simple: she disagreed.
Usually, just showing this expression would have him agreeing to everything, but today things seemed different as all she saw on his face were four words.
"Unmoved."
Unwilling, she continued to ask aloud, "Why! Why! Won’t you let me go?"
Seeing such a bustling scene and yet being held back from joining, wasn’t this torture?
The more An Nan thought about it, the unhappier she became, eventually pouting childishly and glaring at the man with a dissatisfied face.
Lin Mubai initially wanted to continue ignoring her, but gradually realized he couldn’t do so. He reluctantly shook his head and then stepped forward, standing in front of her, "Wife, listen to me, okay?"
An Nan originally didn’t want to listen, but quickly thought, if this man’s reasons were unreasonable, then she could continue fighting to go outside, so she might as well hear him out.
Then she first gave a cold snort and then continued, "Alright! Go ahead, let me see what reasons you’re going to use to convince me."
Lin Mubai smiled slightly and then began stating his reasons for stopping her, "Look at the sky outside now, it’s starting to snow. First, the ground will be quite slippery, and then it’s also quite cold. Your current condition cannot afford a cold. That’s one of the reasons I stopped you from going outside. Another reason is that there are quite a lot of people and collisions are frequent. They’re fine, but if you get bumped somewhere, I guess our family won’t be celebrating New Year’s this year. Wife, you’re reasonable, right?"
An Nan couldn’t find any words to refute this man’s reasoning.
Seeing that she was gradually being convinced by him.
