However, I have to admit, after his antics, my mood indeed improved a lot. The previous suppression disappeared, leaving me much more relaxed.

Soon, An Jiayou realized the other party’s intention, and immediately looked at him with gratitude.

Lin Mubai was not at all reserved; he accepted all the gratitude without any hesitation. He then continued to gently tap the other’s head and said, "In our lifetime, we will always encounter this or that problem, but the main thing is our own initial intention. As long as you stick to your original intention, do not forget your nature, and keep going, including your decisions, your thoughts, and your dedication to your own future."

Although An Jiayou is very smart, he is still a child and lacks rich life experience. So, he could only nod half doubtful, half understanding: "An Liyang came to see me a few days ago."

Lin Mubai’s originally smiling handsome face quickly turned severe: "What did he come to you for?"

Afterward, frowning, An Jiayou continued to explain: "He didn’t say much, but I told him a few things."

"Did you tell him not to disturb you and An Nan in the future?" Lin Mubai hit the nail on the head. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The former was not surprised that he could understand his words so clearly. Instead, he nodded affirmatively and continued to explain the general situation.

After listening to the explanation, Lin Mubai’s brow furrowed tighter and tighter. What moved him more was thinking about how much this little guy has taken on his immature shoulders. At such a young age, he had to understand such a complicated background, how did he manage?

Would he feel confused? Would he feel helpless? Would he feel sad?

These, he may never know.

In his silence, An Jiayou continued: "Actually, it doesn’t matter. I think it’s good this way. An Nan, you told me long ago that we cannot choose our birth, but we can choose our future life. And now I am very certain about what kind of life I want in the future. I am not worried about that person coming to find me, but that he might disturb An Nan. She is already seven months pregnant, and her emotions cannot fluctuate too much now. I clearly noticed that when An Nan met that person that day, although she appeared calm on the surface, I still detected her emotional tension from her subtle behaviors. This kind of situation isn’t good."

After hearing this, Lin Mubai was very gratified, gently tapping his head again, and then said, "Jiayou, you’re really sensible. Your mom, she has you as a son. It’s the greatest happiness of her life."

"Well, having such a mom is also my happiness."

Suddenly, Lin Mubai hesitated in his heart, but finally, he asked the question that had been lingering in his mind: "Jiayou, are you never curious about your biological parents?"

Every child would be curious, especially since this child is already twelve and has his own thoughts.

Yet, the other’s thoughts were completely beyond his expectations. An Jiayou just shook his head firmly and replied, "I think these things should follow the natural course. If there’s fate to meet them in this life, we naturally will. If not, there’s no need to force it."
