Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 556 - 375: An Nan’s Birthday (14)

When she carefully thought back, it seemed he really hadn’t received any bank transaction messages.

An Nan, under the other person’s intense gaze, slightly shook her head: "No, I didn’t have time to check." As she said this, a feeling of guilt filled her heart. In reality, it wasn’t that she had no time; she simply forgot. She had been accustomed to spending her own money for so many years that she momentarily forgot she was married, and her husband should be supporting the family’s finances.

Lin Mubai knew this all too well but chose not to highlight it. Nonetheless, his pride was somewhat wounded. Pretending to be serious, he continued, "Wife, from tomorrow, hand over your card to me."

"Why?" An Nan asked, bewildered. She increasingly thought this man’s behavior was peculiar.

Lin Mubai answered candidly, "It’s natural for me to take care of my wife."

An Nan instantly understood that the man’s pride was at play. Joy filled her heart, though she didn’t show it too obviously on her face. She also realized something: regardless of age, men’s penchant for saving face remains the same.

The next moment, she smiled brightly at him and said, "Okay, starting tomorrow, I’ll hand over all my cards to you, and wherever I go, I’ll use your card."

Lin Mubai’s masculine pride was instantly satisfied, "Good, very good, obedient." After saying this, he gently rubbed her hair, filled with affection.

An Nan helplessly pulled down his big hand and played with it between hers: "Husband, don’t you want to ask me anything?" Today’s events would be surprising or unbelievable to anyone. Yet, with him, it seemed to be ********, no curiosity, no surprise.

Noticing the confusion on his wife’s face, Lin Mubai continued to smile gently, "I’m waiting for you to willingly speak up." Many things, he didn’t want to force her to say; he preferred to wait until she wanted to tell him herself, which meant he had her trust.

Just like now when she willingly brought it up — does it mean that in her heart, he already holds an irreplaceable position?

An Nan did not notice the subtle calculations in his mind, instead becoming immersed in her own thoughts. Slowly, she spoke: "I’ve already told you most of the things before. What you don’t know is just a small part. Mom’s name is Lin Qi, a very beautiful woman. My grandparents only have her as their daughter. They immigrated abroad early on. Later, when Mom was going to college, my grandparents were worried she’d forget her roots, so they sent her to study in the country. The rest happened naturally: Dad and Mom met and fell in love in college. Then came the typical drama of a rich family. Dad’s father disdained Mom’s family background and refused to let them be together. After some turmoil, they still separated. Mom went back to the United Kingdom, and Dad was forced to marry someone he grew up with."

As An Nan paused, Lin Mubai calmly asked, "That person is Xi Xilan, isn’t it?"

This question was evident, so An Nan wasn’t curious about how the man could guess it accurately.
