Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 1017 - 1036: A Not-So-Harmonious Meal

The tense atmosphere was quietly shifted by Lin Mubai.

Lin Mubai took the opportunity when the two elders weren’t paying attention, and whispered to his wife, "Don’t be angry, it’s New Year’s Day today. Just bear with it for a moment. Acting like this, Uncle Liang and Aunt Fu will feel very torn."

These words finally worked on the angry An Nan. Her stubbornness softened a bit, but she still refused to glance at An Liyang, whose expression was equally unpleasant.

Meanwhile, Lin Mubai went over to the other side and quietly advised, "I bet Uncle Liang and Aunt Fu are very happy to see you back today. You know my wife’s temper, she didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t take it to heart. Stay for lunch and make the two elders happy."

All because these two elders truly dote on the woman he loves, and he just wants to make them happy, especially during this grand festival.

He’s perceptive enough to notice that the two elders are genuinely happy about this man’s return.

And he wasn’t worried at all that this man wouldn’t stay.

Because just now, when he spoke, he intentionally paid attention to the other’s eyes. They say eyes can’t lie, and in those deep eyes, he noticed a trace of anticipation. He guessed correctly that it was for family love, or maybe something else, but he didn’t want to dwell on it. His sole hope now was for the respected elders and the woman he loves to be happy.

Meanwhile, An Liyang, still sitting on the sofa, watched the departing upright figure and a ripple of emotion flashed in his eyes.

He didn’t completely lack hesitation in his heart, but ultimately he followed his true feelings and stayed.

After hearing her husband’s words, An Nan gradually calmed down and realized that her actions at this occasion and time were somewhat wrong, yet she was still unwilling to bow to An Liyang?

Hence, the atmosphere remained a bit awkward.

However, this brought happiness to Aunt Fu and Uncle Liang. Knowing the reunion they had longed for years, a dream they thought impossible in this lifetime, was happening was a joyous surprise.

The couple’s faces were full of comforting smiles and they quickly turned to the kitchen to busy themselves, so that these two children, who hadn’t spent New Year’s at home for years, could enjoy a proper New Year’s meal.

An Nan felt the atmosphere in the living room was too strange, so she got up and went into the kitchen. The two busy people noticed her entrance and showed an awkward look: "It’s smoky here, why did you come in?" Aunt Fu said, trying to pull her back out.

An Nan quickly stopped her, "Aunt Fu, I don’t want to go out. Just let me stay here!"

Seeing the conflicted look in her eyes, the hand that had been holding her slowly lost strength, followed by a deep sigh: "Ah, you kids, I can’t control you. Stay if you like!"

Upon hearing that tone, An Nan’s heart suddenly filled with worry, "Aunt Fu, don’t be angry."
