Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 1019 - 1038: Lin Mubai Tests An Liyan

His gaze kept drifting towards the kitchen, wanting to speak up several times, but in the end, he said nothing.

No matter how much someone with something on their mind tries to hide it, a hint of anxiety will leak through their face and eyes. Lin Mubai was sensitive to such things, particularly when it came to emotions. He had taken some psychology courses related to this in college, so though he wasn’t an expert, he understood a bit.

He scrutinized the man in front of him, inside and out, before casually pointing out the crux of the matter: "You haven’t returned to the country for so many years, yet chose to return at this time. Is it because all these years, you’ve been concerned about Nannan’s situation, and now that you know she’s getting married, you couldn’t help but come back to see for yourself whom she’s marrying? As for you, I still can’t see through the secrets you’re hiding, but I believe it won’t remain concealed for long, and I anticipate finding out what kind of secret could make you give up so much and stay away for so many years."

Lin Mubai’s voice was calm, but it made the man’s face opposite him grow increasingly grim. Deep down, An Liyang really didn’t want to admit his words. On the other hand, he had to, because much of it was true. However, he was wrong; he didn’t come back to see what kind of man Nannan was marrying, but with a sliver of hope that it wasn’t true, that Nannan wasn’t getting married, that he still had hope. This was his last hope in life.

But it seemed the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After returning, he suddenly realized that in this world, with the passage of time, nothing remains unchanged, and no one would wait for him in place.

He could be considered someone who had been completely forgotten.

Had he not returned this time, in everyone’s minds, he would just be someone who was dead. Although sometimes he might still be remembered with a bit of sadness, in most cases, he was merely someone gradually being forgotten.

Seeing his silent endurance, Lin Mubai continued, "I don’t know the reason behind your actions now, but the only warning I want to give you is, no matter what you do, if it harms Nannan, I definitely won’t let you go, even if Nannan begs me. I won’t forgive anyone who harms her."

With those words, Lin Mubai got up from the sofa, preparing to go to the kitchen to see what his wife was doing.

Just as he turned around, An Liyang’s reassurance came from behind: "Rest assured, my determination to protect Nannan is no less than yours. Perhaps when I began guarding her years ago, you didn’t even know where you were, so don’t you think your reprimands are somewhat inappropriate?"

Those words were a clear provocation, and how could Lin Mubai not pick up on it? He then turned around, a faint, knowing smile curling at the corners of his handsome face: "You’ve finally revealed your true intentions. It seems my assumptions weren’t wrong."
