Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 920 - 939: Young Master Lin Skipping Work

"How’s it going at the company?"

Perhaps having made a mistake, An Nan appeared exceptionally obedient at this moment and recounted today’s happenings at the company truthfully: "The HR manager kept me on, but simultaneously, I got An Yuya promoted to deputy manager of the HR department. I think now, in Xi Xilan’s mind, the perception must be that I’m already intimidated by her."

Lin Mubai nodded approvingly: "You handled this well, what reward do you want?"

An Nan nearly jumped up the next moment to hug his arm: "I want to go shopping; come with me!"

"Do you need to buy something?" Lin Mubai continued to ask gently, while internally pondering what excuse he’d use to skip work in the afternoon.

An Nan’s lips curved into a bright smile, and then she said, "On my way here, I saw the festive lights and decorations outside, and I realized it’s almost New Year’s. Let’s go buy some holiday supplies! I haven’t spent Spring Festival in the country for many years."

Only after his wife mentioned it did Lin Mubai realize that Spring Festival was indeed approaching. With so many things happening recently, he’d been so busy he’d forgotten. It was definitely time to accompany her on a nice shopping trip.

However, when he later informed Han Xiayang that he needed to go out in the afternoon, he was met with an unsatisfied protest: "Lin Mubai, you were a workaholic in the United States, but after returning home, you’ve become quite the absentee boss."

Lin Mubai shrugged, looking helpless: "It’s because my wife is here; what can I do?"

Han Xiangyang didn’t buy his excuse: "Hmph, isn’t your wife here because you invited her? If you don’t want to work, just say it; don’t give so many excuses. You’ve got three minutes, now get out of my sight."

It’s wise to keep oneself safe; since he had already achieved what he wanted, there was no need to care about what the other party had to say. Lin Mubai swiftly turned around and left.

Before he was out of earshot, Han Xiangyang heard something that made him furious: "Wife, I’m done with work for the afternoon, we can head out now."

Done? If he’s done, what about the work on his office desk?

When Han Xiayang couldn’t bear his inner rage anymore and stormed into the office, the two of them were already gone: "Damn bastard, they’ve run off again."

In the company’s parking lot, An Nan helplessly watched the man walking briskly ahead: "Lin Mubai, why are you walking so fast?"

The man busy with his escape became a bit more aware and slowed his pace: "Wife, sorry, sorry, I forgot."

While saying this, he cautiously glanced behind him, fearing some guy might react and chase after him, ruining his delightful afternoon. It wasn’t until the car departed from Lin Group’s parking lot that he managed to put his anxiety to rest, and the smile on his face grew increasingly radiant: "Wife, have you decided where you’d like to go shopping this afternoon?"

An Nan thought for a moment and replied: "Let’s go to the central mall!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

A strange expression immediately appeared on Lin Mubai’s face: "Isn’t that owned by Nanqi Group?"

"Exactly, that’s why we should go. It’s not like I buy things without paying; let’s just consider it as inspecting the company’s business."

Regarding this answer, Lin Mubai felt utterly speechless internally and didn’t want to argue.
