Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 558 - 377: An Nan’s Birthday (16)

Xi Xilan, she’s not afraid at all, but when it comes to meeting that person, An Nan feels a bit uneasy. Thinking of how he treated her mom back then, she feels even more hatred, wishing she could destroy the An Family. But because of Dad’s ties, she’s unsure of what to do.

Seeing the struggle in her eyes, Lin Mubai asked tentatively, "Wife, what’s wrong?"

An Nan smiled at him and shook her head, "Nothing, just a bit unsure about what to do next."

"How so?"

"Well, let me put it this way, I hate the An Family, especially because of how that person treated my mom back then. But he is Dad’s father after all, so I don’t know what to do."

Lin Mubai smiled slightly; it was actually quite simple in his view: "Alright, my clever wife, don’t overthink it. When the An Family reaches out to you, I’ll go with you. We’ll see their attitude; if it’s good, we’ll discuss Dad and Mom’s issue and move on. If not, say what you have to, there’s nothing worth negotiating."

What Lin Mubai said instantly enlightened An Nan, and she smiled appreciatively at him, "Wow, hubby, you’re so smart."

Lin Mubai helplessly ruffled her hair, his face full of resignation, "Alright, little fool, let’s head home first. If we keep the car here, I bet the traffic police will come soon."

An Nan rolled her eyes disdainfully, "What is this? Is Mr. Lin afraid of traffic police? Isn’t B City your turf?"

"Seriously, what have you taken me for? A crab?" During the conversation, Lin Mubai had already started the car and was soon driving into the traffic.

Since his wife got pregnant, Lin Mubai kept the car stocked with snacks she liked. At a red light, he turned to the bored little woman beside him, "Hungry? Open the compartment in front of you, there’s food inside."

Upon hearing there was food, An Nan instantly forgot everything and started rummaging. She quickly found the delicacies she liked, and soon the car was filled with the crunching sound, accompanied occasionally by joyful exclamations. Lin Mubai felt relieved, at least her mind was off those topics.

Lin Mubai planned to head straight home, but halfway there, he got a call from his good buddy Xi Shaoqi: "Mubai, where are you? Is Nannan with you?"

"Yeah, with me."

"Well, today is Nannan’s birthday, can you bring her over? I just want to celebrate her birthday..." Xi Shaoqi was about to explain further, but was interrupted by Lin Mubai on this side of the phone.

"Alright, give me the address, I’ll be there soon."

"Champs Elysees."

"Didn’t you guys say you weren’t going there?"

"Haha, we toured around B City and still felt ’Champs Elysees’ is the best."

The next moment, Lin Mubai’s words almost made the other side lose it: "If you think it’s the best, that’s fine, just remember to pay the bill."

"Lin Mubai, is it possible that the grand Mr. Lin is stingy over this amount of money? An Nan being the boss hasn’t even mentioned it, why are you acting all protective?"
