Chapter 986 - 1005: Lin Mubai’s Promise to His Wife
These days, he’s just like a curious little kid, always finding what the adults are doing unbelievably fresh, and if he doesn’t understand, he’ll always ask, "What’s this for?"
The adults in the family are all very patient, helping him understand one by one.
Gradually, he has learned more about the New Year culture in China, and he’s even more looking forward to this different New Year.
He’s particularly interested in the tradition of getting red envelopes.
He’s somewhat excited about how many red envelopes he’ll receive this year; it’s not about needing the money, it’s just that it feels great.
The same anticipation is shared by An Nan, who has been a mom for many years now, but her expectation wasn’t kept in her heart like her son’s. She expressed it directly.
The person she expressed it to is naturally her handsome husband, Lin Mubai: "Honey, I have something to tell you."
It’s the end of the year, and the company has been quite busy these days. He’s been occupied at the company all day, so naturally, he has less time to see his wife. Sometimes when he gets home, everyone is already asleep. Although he really wants to talk to his wife, considering she’s pregnant, he doesn’t have the heart to wake her up. When he leaves in the morning, it’s too early and she’s not awake yet, so he hasn’t had a good talk with her for a long time.
Today he came back early for a change, and found she’s not asleep yet. He hadn’t even managed to be surprised before she clung to him, but he liked the feeling. His expression became even more tender, "Wife, what’s up?"
An Nan wraps her arms tightly around his waist, with eyes full of joyful light. Seeing this, Lin Mubai knows she has a request from him; although he’s not sure what it is, he already has the answer in his heart, because no matter what request she puts forward, as long as he can do it, he can promise anything except divorce.
He nods immediately, signaling her to speak quickly.
Encouraged by him, An Nan immediately reveals all her thoughts: "Honey, I haven’t received a red envelope for many years, can you give me a big red envelope this New Year?"
For some reason, this simple request makes Lin Mubai’s eyes slightly sour. Without saying anything else, he extends his arm and pulls her tightly into his embrace, while whispering a promise in her ear, "Wife, every New Year from now on, besides giving the baby a red envelope, I’ll also give you a big red envelope, wanting to make up for the missed years with you, alright?"
Such touching words are moving to any woman, and An Nan is no exception. What was just a hope in her heart turned into such an answer, causing her to stare at him unblinkingly, her eyes shimmering brightly, like stars.
Lin Mubai thought she didn’t believe him, so he quickly assured her again, "Wife, what I say to you is valid for a lifetime, and I’ll certainly fulfill it. For this life, I’m willing to do anything for you, and likewise, this promise is lifetime valid. You can take out your phone to record it now, and if in the future I don’t follow through, you can sue me in court to let the judge give you all my property."
