Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 674 - 693: Heaven’s Chosen Lin Mubai

Seeing the dull look in her wife’s eyes, Lin Mubai had already picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table and happily started eating. An Nan originally wanted to stop him, but seeing his delighted expression while eating, the words reached her mouth and got swallowed back down. A faint tenderness rose in her heart; this man should have been a darling of heaven standing at the pinnacle, yet due to her, he had settled for this.

By the time Lin Mubai finished eating, An Nan had also made a firm resolution in her heart: in the future, she would treat this man very, very well.

After Lin Mubai finished the meal and tidied up the leftovers on his desk, he looked up to see his wife staring at him unblinkingly. With a smile, he walked over without saying a word, sat down beside her, and stretched his arm to pull her into his embrace: "Wife, what are you thinking?"

An Nan came back to her senses, initially looking a bit confused at the person next to her, then nodded and shook her head again.

"Wife, what does it mean when you nod and shake your head like that?"

"Oh, it’s nothing. Have you had enough to eat?" An Nan was embarrassed to share her thoughts, so she quickly changed the topic.

"I’m full. Do you have any plans for the afternoon?"

An Nan shook her head again: "No."

Getting the answer he wanted, Lin Mubai continued smiling: "Then wife, why not stay at the company with me this afternoon? You’ve never seen me work before."

His suggestion piqued An Nan’s interest too: "Alright, then, let’s have dinner outside tonight before heading back. It’s been ages since we last dined outside together."

Regarding his wife’s proposal, Lin Mubai naturally had no objections, but he wanted to tease a bit: "Wife, are you craving some alone time with me?"

An Nan immediately glared at him, rolling her eyes: "Eat or not, whatever, I don’t care."

"Okay then, okay, wife, wife, I’m the one who wants the alone time with you." In order to not let the opportunity slip away, Lin Mubai quickly admitted his mistake.

"Now that’s more like it. It’s settled then. After dinner, we should go visit Uncle Liang and the others. I wonder if they’ve gotten used to their new home after just moving in." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Alright, I’ll do as you say. Do you want to rest a bit first? There’s a lounge inside."

Recently accustomed to napping at home, An Nan indeed felt a bit sleepy, so she nodded without saying much and walked toward the direction Lin Mubai pointed. Upon entering, she heard the door being locked behind and turned around puzzled, seeing the man following her in: "Aren’t you supposed to be working? Why are you coming in with me?"

In An Nan’s confusion, Lin Mubai looked at her with eyes full of mirth: "Wife, I’m sleepy too. I want to take a nap."

As soon as An Nan heard this, she understood; chances are this man pretending to want a nap, truly just wanted to be close to her, rolling her eyes involuntarily with exasperation filling her heart: "You really are something else."

Choosing to ignore the impatience in his wife’s words, Lin Mubai continued pitifully: "Wife, please, let me hold you while resting for a bit, and then I’ll get up to work hard. I believe I’ll be very energetic all afternoon if I do that; you’re my complete source of strength."

The more An Nan listened, the more her mouth twitched in amusement, until she didn’t even want to argue anymore.
