Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 750 - 769: Lin Mubai’s Gentleness
In the end, it was Lin Mubai who admitted defeat first, sighing slightly. He gestured to An Nan, his voice low, "Come here."
An Nan looked up in surprise and then reluctantly walked forward, her head lowered, so she didn’t see the undisguisable smile in the man’s eyes.
Lin Mubai didn’t say much. He stretched out his arm, applied a bit of force, and An Nan was already sitting on his lap. She quickly began to struggle, her face showing an awkward blush. Even though they were married, she was still not accustomed to such intimacy.
Facing An Nan’s small movements, Lin Mubai remained unmoved, sitting stably like a mountain, his arm around the person like an iron arm. The other hand gently patted the person’s backside, his tone disapproving, "Don’t move."
The moment Lin Mubai’s murmured words came out, the person in his arms stopped moving, though her stiff body still betrayed her tension. Where An Nan couldn’t see, Lin Mubai’s smile grew deeper. Meanwhile, his hand, which had been lightly patting An Nan’s backside moments ago, was now nonchalantly patting the back of the person in his arms.
Gradually, he felt the relaxation of the person in his arms and his lips curled up into a subtle smile again, "What’s going on? After all this time, still not used to my presence?"
An Nan was slightly surprised by the man’s relaxed tone and then reacted, beginning to follow his lead in conversation, "I’m afraid you might still be angry."
Her tone clearly showed guilt. Obviously, she was aware of her mistake, and Lin Mubai was quite satisfied with that. Very good, knowing the mistake and willing to change, he had nothing he couldn’t forgive. Unconsciously, his tone became softer, "Wife, I’m not angry anymore. I’m just worried about you."
"I know, I’m sorry." Actually, An Nan had felt guilty from the beginning, but she had deliberately ignored it until this moment when the guilt resurfaced intensely.
Lin Mubai immediately noticed the emotional change in the person in his arms. The next moment, he turned her head to face him, his deep eyes staring at her for a long time before he spoke, "It’s alright, wife, I’m not angry anymore."
After Lin Mubai finished speaking, he embraced her again, continuing to gently soothe her, "Baby, I might have been a little angry before, but as long as you’re in my arms, I can’t remain angry. I’m not angry now, or else the baby won’t be cute." As his words fell, Lin Mubai’s large hand rested on the person’s belly, full of warmth and completely like a joyful expectant father.
An Nan’s mood gradually infected by the moment, her stiff smile beginning to relax, replaced by joyful maternal love, "Don’t say that. My baby is definitely going to be beautiful."
It’s said pregnant women have changing emotions, and Lin Mubai could now feel it. With a light smile, he continued to follow her words, "Yes, yes, yes, my Lin Mubai’s baby will undoubtedly be the happiest in the world."
Listening, An Nan immediately rolled her eyes at him, "Shameless." This man didn’t even prepare before speaking; boasting about his own child like that? If others heard, wouldn’t they laugh?
