Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 649 - 668: An Jiayou Dislikes His Own Mom for Being Too Young
The person who was still dreaming suddenly opened their eyes: "Ah, what time is it?"
"It’s okay, there’s still time. Don’t rush, take your time, wash up first. I’ll go downstairs and tell Jiayou to wait a bit."
"Okay, okay, I’ll be quick. Make sure he waits for me." This was her own son, and it was his first day going to school in the country. She definitely wanted to accompany him.
Lin Mubai went downstairs and saw a certain brat, all ready in the living room. The boy looked at him with disdain: "Dad, I think you did it on purpose, you just want me to be late on my first day of school."
Lin Mubai innocently rolled his eyes and explained: "I didn’t do that, your mom got up late. Just wait a bit, she’ll be right down."
Hearing it was because of his mom, An Jiayou was instantly deflated: "Oh, she really wants to go with me to school."
Lin Mubai nodded resolutely: "Your mom said before that she never got to accompany you to school, and now that she has the time, she absolutely wants to go with you."
"Alright then, I’ll wait." An Jiayou felt no pressure about going to a new place because he was used to such a life. Instead, he was a bit surprised that someone was sending him to school for the first time.
An Nan soon finished getting ready and came downstairs. She wore a trench coat on top and simple jeans below, making her look several years younger. An Jiayou looked and quickly furrowed his little brow.
An Nan, seeing his expression, quickly and worriedly approached: "What’s wrong? Is there a problem?"
An Jiayou first shook his head, then nodded and said, "An Nan, you look way too young. You know I’m going to high school today, not first grade."
"Oh." An Nan didn’t react at first. When she did, she looked uneasy: "What should I do?" It’s not her fault that her face looked younger.
Lin Mubai watched the mother and son interaction from the side, only then noticing how his wife seemed to become younger since she got pregnant. People always say pregnant women have bad skin, but in his wife’s case, that wasn’t proven at all. Her skin looked better, more tender. If someone said she was twenty-eight, probably no one would believe it.
He was very pleased with this result because it was his handiwork.
An Nan didn’t notice the man’s gaze, still troubled by her son’s words: "What should I do?"
An Jiayou frowned as well, and at this moment, Lin Mubai spoke: "What’s the big deal? Jiayou, you should know that in this country, the younger the mom looks, the more envious your classmates will be. Or do you want your mom to be seventy or eighty at such a young age?"
Hearing this, An Jiayou thought about it and agreed it made sense, instantly letting go of his concerns. Then he began to urge: "Let’s get going then, or we’ll be late." After all, he was just a twelve-year-old kid, with all the childishness that comes with it.
As they were about to leave, An Nan noticed the house was unusually quiet today: "Strange, where is Mom and everyone else?"
An Jiayou answered for his mom: "Great-grandma and grandma went to the farmers’ market. They said the vegetables are fresh there. Grandpa and great-grandpa went out for morning exercise."
