Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 594 - 613: An Ruiyang’s Last Resort

"Miss, did you see? The young lady has returned, and she brought back the young master. He’s quite handsome and has the flair of the master’s youth. His gaze towards the young lady is full of affection; he probably loves her deeply. So rest assured, I will protect the young lady, ensuring those shameless people of the An Family won’t bully her."

Seeing that An Nan was silent, An Ruiyang started to get anxious: "Lin Annan, didn’t you hear me?"

"I heard you." An Nan’s voice was very indifferent, with no trace of emotion.

"What do you mean, then? Are you really going to let them kick your grandfather out?" An Ruiyang could clearly see how much Fu Runzhi respected An Nan, and he believed that with just one word from An Nan, he could stay here without fear of outsiders knowing the An Family Mansion no longer belonged to him.

Ignoring the mention of grandfather, An Nan replied coldly, "Just as you heard." As the words left her mouth, she glanced around the entire An Family Mansion before continuing, "This mansion was given to Uncle Liang and Aunt Fu by my grandfather long ago, so it has nothing to do with me. Since it’s irrelevant to me, what can I do? Instead of people mocking you for being thrown out, Mr. An, you might as well leave willingly."

"Lin Annan, how can you say such things? Don’t think I haven’t noticed; those two simply follow your orders."

"So what?"

At this moment, An Yuya’s sharp voice pierced everyone’s ears once more: "Grandfather, can’t you see it yet? Lin Annan is clearly looking for an excuse; she wants to drive us out, she’s deliberately making excuses."

An Nan immediately shot An Yuya an appreciative look: "Not bad, you have a bit of brains. Actually, let me tell you, I hadn’t planned to drive you out tonight. As long as you spoke politely, you could have stayed here. But now, it’s no longer necessary. Please leave immediately."

Sensing that this person wasn’t joking, a wave of fear surged in An Ruiyang’s heart. If he left the mansion, left the Nanqi Group, he would be nothing. How could he continue living like this? Suddenly, he remembered the last leverage he held in his hands, and a look of cunning gradually flashed in his eyes.

"Lin Annan, haven’t you always wanted to bury your mother together with my son? Aren’t you afraid that by doing this, I’ll never agree, leaving your mother’s sole wish unfulfilled?"

An Ruiyang’s smug words didn’t elicit much reaction from An Nan, but Xi Xilan’s response was extremely intense, with accusations in her voice: "Dad, you cannot do this, you cannot allow Li Yan to be buried with Lin Qi. Have you forgotten what you promised me? Li Yan belongs to me, to me."

If she couldn’t be with him in life, she must be buried with him in death.

This was the vow Xi Xilan made in her heart upon learning of An Liyang’s death. It was also one of the reasons she hadn’t left the An Family all these years. And she couldn’t accept it if it all ended up as empty talk, rendering her life meaningless.

Therefore, even in death, she wouldn’t let Lin Qi and An Liyang be buried together.
