Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 881 - 900: An Nan Threatens Rocky (3)

Seeing An Nan’s indecision and dilemma, Rocky sighed slightly and continued, "An Nan, I can arrange for you to meet Xi Xilan, but you cannot hide anything from me; otherwise, I won’t agree. And you should know, even if you find someone else, I can find a way to cut him off. Think about it and give me an answer later."

"No need, I can give you an answer now." An Nan replied firmly.

Rocky didn’t relent at all: "Then speak up, let me weigh if your plan is feasible. If it’s not, I still won’t agree."

"What’s your measure of feasible?" An Nan’s expression turned increasingly serious. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"My standard is that it shouldn’t harm you."

That’s simple.

A fleeting wry smile appeared on An Nan’s face. She wondered what his standards were and got startled. Turns out, it’s just this simple, which is easy. She’s about to become a mom now, and naturally will be careful with her health.

Then An Nan nodded assuredly, "I can assure you of that; I won’t let Xi Xilan have any chance to harm me. I just want to confirm some things with her."

"What things?"

"The truth about Brother’s accident back then; I want to find out what really happened. And to ask her if she still has a heart. After ignoring her grandson all these years, how can she now, for her own benefit, come back seeking custody? Is her heart made of stone? Even stones can be warmed over time, so why can’t she be?"

By the end, An Nan was growing increasingly angry and unable to control her rage.

Rocky, worried her emotions would affect the child, quickly tried to calm her: "Alright, alright, don’t be mad. Even if you are, so what? She remains the same. How about this—when do you think is a good time for me to arrange the meeting?"

Rocky timely shifted the topic, also diverting An Nan’s attention.

"Tomorrow, is tomorrow okay?"

Rocky thought for a moment and nodded, "Sure, let’s set it for tomorrow then. I’ll take you back to the ward now, and when I come tomorrow, I’ll find a way to keep your husband away."

An Nan shook her head again, "No need to send him away. I heard he mentioned on the phone that he has to go to the company for something tomorrow afternoon. So, schedule it for tomorrow afternoon!"

"Then that’s even better."

And so, their meeting was secretly arranged. An Nan returned to her ward with mixed feelings, still wearing a faint smile that Lin Mubai didn’t notice.

Seeing his wife come in, he quickly got up from the sofa and walked over, "Where’s Rocky? Why are you back alone?"

An Nan quickly masked her complex emotions and gently shook her head, "He had something to do, so he left first."

"Hmm, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a bit?"

"Okay, what were you doing? Handling company matters?"

"Yes, there’s just a little more to wrap up."

"Then you go ahead and don’t worry about me. I’m fine, I can lie down and rest for a while. You focus on your work."

"Alright, I’ll help you over. Once you’re settled, I’ll continue with my work. It shouldn’t take much longer to finish up."
