Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 559 - 378: An Nan’s Birthday (17)

Xi Shaoqi angrily shouted into the phone, only to realize that the other party had already hung up. He couldn’t help but shake his head again, feeling helpless.

Lin Mubai hung up the phone and met a pair of bright, inquisitive eyes: "Who was it? Whose call was that?"

"Nosy girl," Lin Mubai muttered under his breath, then spoke up, "It was Shaoqi’s call. He said it’s your birthday today, and they want to celebrate tonight. Are you going?"

If his wife said she didn’t want to go, he would cancel it immediately. That was his true inner world. Lin Mubai, the most petty man, wanted nothing more than to spend the day in their own little world.

But An Nan quickly shattered his beautiful fantasy. Maybe she was bored from being at home too much lately and eager to go out tonight. She promptly nodded and said, "I want to go, definitely want to go. I haven’t seen Shaoqi and the others in ages."

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder—how many ages has it been for her?

Instantly, Lin Mubai spilled his jealousy: "What, are you happy to see Shaoqi?"

An Nan obliviously nodded enthusiastically: "Uh-huh, very happy."

"Are you happy to see me?"

Feeling somewhat off, An Nan finally noticed something amiss and exclaimed: "No way, Lin Mubai, are you jealous?"

Lin Mubai this time admitted openly: "Yes, I’m jealous. So from now on, wife, you’re not allowed to call another man’s name so cheerfully in front of me. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to show you just how deep my jealousy runs."

His words, laden with hidden meanings, made An Nan’s cheeks instantly turn red.

"Lin Mubai, shut up. Stop with the nonsense."

Seeing her reaction, Lin Mubai had a doting smile, still provocatively teasing: "Wife, are you shy?"

"Get lost, no."

"Really not shy? Then why are you blushing?"

"I’m hot."

"It’s not hot in the car, wife. If you’re shy, just say so. I won’t laugh at you."

"Get lost, Lin Mubai, shut up."

"Oh, wife, don’t get angry with embarrassment."

Next moment, An Nan realized she couldn’t out-talk him and directly took action. Suddenly, the car was filled with Lin Mubai’s pleas: "Wife, no, don’t."

"Wife, drive, drive."

"Wife, it hurts, hurts, hurts."

An Nan didn’t take his pleas seriously and continued to reprimand him: "Hurts, my foot. You look perfectly fine, Lin Mubai. If I hear you joke about me one more time, from tonight on, you’re sleeping in the guest room every day."

Hmph, Miss An doesn’t believe she can’t find your weak spot.

This time, An Nan hit the nail on the head with her threat, and Lin Mubai quickly toned down his playful demeanor, not daring to mess around anymore: "Good wife, I’m driving now. Just take a nap, and I’ll wake you up when we arrive."

"Uh, that’s better. So where are we really going tonight?"

"Champs Elysees."

Next moment, An Nan cheered loudly: "Yay, why don’t we all go up to the top floor tonight?"

Their private world vanished, and people were invading their domain, making Lin Mubai even more unhappy. He started trying to negotiate with his wife: "Wife, maybe not the top floor, wouldn’t downstairs be better?"
