Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 612 - 631: An Nan’s Conspiracy Theory

An Nan continued to refuse, "It’s not necessary for now. Actually, my parents’ situation is very simple. From what I understand, the reason Xi Xilan is still with the An Family is because An Ruiyang still finds her useful. Naturally, he won’t just abandon her, but as soon as the right moment comes and Xi Xilan realizes she’s no longer useful, she definitely won’t be bothered by the years of gratitude for raising her. By then, whatever I want to do will be quite easy."

Upon hearing his wife’s words, Lin Mubai felt a sudden jolt in his heart. It turns out that the person in his arms was the true strategist, but he wondered who had the upper hand, him or her.

But thoughts like these should be kept inside. Schemes and tactics should be used against enemies; with family and lovers, one should use love and tenderness.

"Wife, Mr. Luo is a renowned financial figure on Wall Street. What on earth did you do to make him listen to you so well?" It had always been a mysterious matter. Lin Mubai suspected that he wasn’t the only one curious; everyone who knew the two of them would likely feel the same.

An Nan, smiling cunningly at her husband’s question, replied, "Want to know?"

Honest, Lin Mubai nodded, readying himself to be tricked.

"Then agree to one condition, and I’ll tell you."

"Alright, go ahead, as long as it’s not too much and doesn’t involve your safety."

"Yes, yes, yes." An Nan nodded her head like a little chick pecking at rice, "I promise it won’t. I just want you to take me out for hot pot tomorrow. I want the kind from a hot pot restaurant, not homemade." Ever clever, An Nan made sure to state her full request, leaving no loopholes for the other party.

You need to know, this man is very cunning.

This time, Lin Mubai didn’t say much. After all, the doctor had mentioned pregnant women’s tastes could vary. If she rarely wanted hot pot, they could go. As long as she was happy, he was happy too: "Okay, no problem. I’ll ask if anyone else is available later."

"Alright, alright. The more, the merrier. Eating hot pot is best with a crowd."

With his wife happy, Lin Mubai was happy: "Alright, alright, I’ll do as you say. Now you can tell me how you managed to get Rocky on your side, right?"

For some reason, after saying this, Lin Mubai had a strange feeling in his heart.

Only then did An Nan slowly recount that past.

"Lin Mubai, have I ever told you that before attending flight school, I was also a top student at a renowned university in the United States?"

Sincerely, Lin Mubai shook his head, "No." Then, upon further thought, he felt something seemed off.

The other’s voice continued to pour into his ears, "I used to go to the same school as Rocky. Actually, if you have to count, I’m even the senior to Ying Chen and Jiang Yu Kai. Because of this, they were unhappy with me for a long time just because I was younger. But what can I say, I’m clever. Ever since I was in school, I kept skipping grades. So when I was in college, I was the youngest in my class. I even completed my bachelor’s credits in just two years before I went to flight school. Rocky was someone I actively sought out to challenge."

"What did you do?" Lin Mubai had a feeling this little woman had done something spectacular.

"Hehe, actually, it wasn’t much. I just challenged Rocky at what he was best at—trading. In the end, he lost and had to obediently work for me."
