Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 1009 - 1028: Xi Xilan’s Complaints

Gao Yuwen’s words were full of sweet complaints.

She was sweet because she finally found this man tonight, yet failed to notice the man’s increasingly ugly expression.

Suddenly, her hands were forcibly pulled down, her dark eyes faced a pair of angry eyes, scaring her into retreating several steps.

Even speaking became difficult, but her pride kept telling her not to back down. She immediately retorted angrily: "Why are you glaring at me like that? Did I do something wrong? You’re my fiancé now, you should be considerate of me in everything, but look at what you’re doing now, hanging up on New Year’s Eve. Finally found you, wanting to spend New Year’s with you, but you’re treating me with this attitude, what gives you the right?"

Normally, Gao Yuwen wouldn’t dare act so brashly. The reason she was so bold tonight was because Xi Xilan and An Yuya were present, she didn’t care about tearing things apart with him.

The man’s reaction was as she had expected, he looked restrained, but did not vent his anger.

Seeing this, Gao Yuwen’s courage grew.

Then she complained to Xi Xilan: "Aunt, look at this, I’m his future wife, your future daughter-in-law, and he’s treating me like this."

Hearing Gao Yuwen’s complaints, An Liyang felt a strange feeling rise within: "When did these two women become so close?" While pondering this, he began to surreptitiously glance at their faces, quickly arriving at an answer internally.

He guessed these two women had been chatting recently, realizing this, a coldness flashed in his eyes once more.

His mother, truly after all these years, remains unchanged, as domineering as ever. What he couldn’t understand further was that, as her son, he had been presumed dead for years, which should have been a heartbreaking matter. Now a sudden resurrection should be a joyous occasion, for an average family, it’d be exhilarating, even treating him like a treasure.

But for him?

Everything changed in an instant, no joy, no excitement, only continuous exploitation as before, devoid of any familial affection, no motherly love, just exploitation, using his once passionate heart till it became cold today.

In An Liyang’s indifferent gaze, Xi Xilan’s slightly reproachful voice continued: "Li Yan, what you did was wrong."

An Liyang slightly curled his lips with coldness, retorting: "How am I wrong? This Christmas Eve, I just want to be alone quietly, what’s wrong with that? On the contrary, did I invite you all over? What are you doing right now?"

Xi Xilan slammed a glass cup onto the dining table, making a crisp sound. The joy on her face instantly turned gloomy, her sharp eyes glared at An Liyang not far away, sternly reprimanding: "An Liyang, what do you mean by this, speak clearly tonight. Since you came back, you haven’t returned home, fine, but even on New Year’s, you don’t come back. So I kindly brought your fiancée and sister to celebrate with you, yet? Look at your attitude, questioning, displeased, what do you really want?"
