Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 1161 - 1180: Young Master Lin Alone in the Empty Boudoir (4)

However, Zhan Qiyi was still very dissatisfied with the situation. The ultimate result he wanted was for this man to make the first move, so that he could have a reason to seek sympathy from An Nan.

Zhan Qiyi’s calculations were very precise, yet they were mercilessly exposed in the next moment. The person standing opposite him suddenly relaxed, unclenching the fists held tightly at his sides. He even lifted his face, wearing a bright smile, and said to him, "Don’t delude yourself into angering me, making me make the first move, and then seeking sympathy from my wife. Zhan Qiyi, I’m telling you, don’t take me for a fool."

Currently, there are few people in this world who can use Young Master Lin as a stepping stone, and this cunning man is no exception. He wouldn’t make a move, no matter what words were used to provoke him, he would endure.

Regarding his sudden realization, Zhan Qiyi dismissively pouted, showing a look of indifference: "You really are a smart guy, seeing through such a plan so easily, it’s no fun."

In the next moment, his malicious gaze continued in a certain direction: "Nannan, have you finished watching the show? Can you come out now?"

It was only then that Lin Mubai noticed her presence, quickly standing up to play the role of a caring protector: "You’re awake, did we wake you?"

An Nan’s indifferent eyes landed on the man’s face, and then she shook her head: "No, I’ve been awake for a while."

As her words fell, her gaze fell on the man on the sofa, who was looking at her with an amused expression: "Please stop it."

Even though An Nan was angry at this man now, she wouldn’t let anyone else bully him—her man could only be bullied by her.

Instantly, Lin Mubai’s face began to light up with pride. His challenging gaze fell on Zhan Qiyi, seemingly saying, my wife is still mine, you should know where to go.

The latter wasn’t angry either, a faint smile on his face as he looked at An Nan: "Are you planning to go back to City B?"

Upon hearing this, she suddenly realized that she’s been in City S for over a week and it’s indeed time to return.

She then nodded: "I’ll ask their opinions in a bit. If they’re all thinking of going back, we’ll probably leave in the next couple of days."

Zhan Qiyi nodded in agreement: "You should indeed go back, Jiayou must be missing you."

At the mention of her son, An Nan’s lips curved into a subtle smile, and she firmly nodded: "Yes, I miss him too. I’m not sure how he’s been recently."

Though she had made phone calls in the past couple of days, it wasn’t the same as seeing the person in real life, so she couldn’t be sure how he was doing.

At the same time, these past few days, she has felt uneasy in her heart, unsure if that person went to see Jiayou.

The two men looked at her face gradually darkening, exchanged glances, and then Lin Mubai spoke up to interrupt her thoughts: "Wife, can we talk?"

His single sentence quickly captured her attention, pulling her focus to his face. Then, Lin Mubai found himself experiencing a level of nervousness he hadn’t felt in years, even more so than the first time he went abroad or when he signed his first big deal.

He wasn’t sure if he would be rejected next, or what other answer he might receive.

Of course, his hope was definitely not to be rejected.

In the end, his prayers became reality.
