Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 940 - 959: Lan Yiqing’s Comfort

But from that day onwards, he deliberately avoided An Nan’s social circle, ensuring there were no opportunities for them to meet.

However, he still kept track of every move she made.

Not that he wanted to do so, he just couldn’t control himself, couldn’t help but want to know more about her, whether it was something happy or not, he still wanted to know.

Yet, the more he knew, the more pain he felt in his heart. In the end, he didn’t know what to do.

Afterwards, he went to a bar to drink, attempting to forget something with alcohol, and it was there he met Gao Yuwen.

Unexpectedly, this woman also had past connections with An Nan.

Anyone could see that the two of them did not have a good relationship; in fact, it could be said that they deeply disliked each other, but he had no intention of meddling in the deeper meaning of their relationship.

Simply because he had already decided to let go.

Today’s encounter was beyond his expectations, and in a moment of urgency, he used Gao Yuwen.

As for whether this was a good or bad thing, he didn’t know! Nor did he want to know.

But in the hopes and disappointments reflected in the other’s eyes, he chose to let the other feel disappointment, perhaps that was the better choice.

He knew that after the accident back then, not only did he give up his only sister An Nan, but he also gave up that child. So just as that child had just said, what rights did he have now?

But why does he still feel so unwilling? Does he really have no rights at all?

After all, that child was once his only hope.

Actually, An Nan didn’t leave; instead, she was taken by Mom, as per the previous arrangement, to the jewelry store next door to the jade shop.

An Nan found herself lost in thought. Lan Yiqing, her mother-in-law, noticed this and said casually, "Nannan, in life, many things cannot be achieved just because we pursue them tirelessly, you know?"

An Nan didn’t respond immediately, raising her surprised dark eyes to look at the other person. It was a long time before she realized the other was speaking to her. She then nodded blankly, "Mom, I had understood this truth long ago. I thought I had already let go over the years, but when I saw him again, I realized I had never really let go. That day at the banquet, I thought Brother had really come back, only to realize that it was all a misunderstanding on my part. Time truly can change a person beyond recognition."

Lan Yiqing continued to gently pat her hand, with a hint of heartache in her words, "Child, don’t think too much. Many things will naturally fall into place when the time comes. When that time comes, we will naturally know what to do."

"I understand, Mom." Although still a bit down, she felt much better than before, because this was the fundamental truth—she couldn’t change anything, she could only face it bravely.

An Nan was also an understanding child, not wanting to worry her mother-in-law, she immediately changed the topic, "Mom, is there any jade pendant here that you like?"

Lan Yiqing immediately turned to Jiayou with a smile, "This question should be asked to Jiayou, after all, it’s bought for him, right?"

"Ah, what?" Jiayou, lost in his thoughts, didn’t respond immediately.
