Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 952 - 971: An Jiayou’s Firm Stand (2)

Fundamentally speaking, he is that person’s son. Even if he now wants to return to that person, he has no right to stop him. His only hope is that he won’t hurt his mom. She is a woman who evokes pity, deserving all the love and should be happy every day.

An Jiayou didn’t speak immediately. Instead, after a long silence, he slowly began, "Actually, I have no memories of that person, so to say I have feelings for him is impossible. It’s only because An Nan has been talking in my ear all these years that I have some impression of the name An Liyang. So, if I had to choose between him and An Nan, I would definitely choose..."

At this point, he paused slightly before continuing, "Besides, there’s no need to choose now."

"What do you mean?" Lin Mubai asked with a face full of confusion.

The boy in front of him gave an awkward smile and casually continued, "Literally! He has already chosen to give up, so what is there left for me to choose? The one who is saddened is An Nan. You must understand how important that person was to her, almost serving as an emotional support. Now that this support has suddenly shattered, it’s hard for anyone to accept. So recently, just spend more time with her, guide her."

Lin Mubai heard this and grew increasingly perplexed. "What exactly do you mean by all this?"

He continued to explain with a smile, "Today when we saw that person, he had a woman with him. The woman seemed to know An Ran, but An Nan didn’t say who she was, and I didn’t ask. But it was clear, An Nan didn’t like that woman."

"And then?"

"Then, that person looked at An Nan with the eyes of a stranger the entire time and later said that woman was his fiancée. When An Nan heard that, her face instantly changed. I was worried she might pass out, but she held strong."

"What else?"

"And then it was my turn. That person seemed a bit emotional when he saw me, but I pretended not to notice. I treated him with the same indifference he showed An Nan and gave him a stern scolding. I told him, since he abandoned us back then, he shouldn’t bother coming back now."

Lin Mubai immediately gave him a look of approval: "Son, you did well."

He too thought he did well, so he nodded without any humility, "I think so too. I did well. An Nan and I never owed that person anything. Now that he’s back, what right does he have to treat us coldly."

Lin Mubai agreed with this approach, but he still couldn’t understand why the scene at the ballroom that day, which was once such a show of sibling affection, had changed so drastically in just a few days. And who was the woman the child mentioned?

All these unresolved questions left Lin Mubai feeling a bit agitated.

But An Jiayou looked indifferent as he continued, "Just ignore that person. Clearly, he has nothing to do with us, so why bother? And I believe in An Nan. She just can’t figure things out for now, but once she does, she will easily let go."
