If she could, An Nan would really like to strangle this man. Doesn’t he see what kind of occasion this is, saying whatever cos to mind without fear? Without looking up, she knows that everyone’s gaze is fixed on her with amusent.
At the sa ti, after such a short period, she has already understood the Lin Family’s penchant for mischief. It’s like an infection; one by one, they find joy in others’ discomfort.
Lin Mubai, wanting to see his wife ignore him, presses on: "Wife, look, even our son gets an egg and not . You don’t love anymore."
The next mont, Lin Mubai’s bowl has an extra double-sided egg, yet he remains dissatisfied: "Wife, you still don’t love ."
An Nan raises her annoyed gaze and glares at him: "Didn’t I just give you an egg?"
"But the son’s is bigger than mine."
Eating the egg An Nan gave him, hearing soone narc about it, An Jiayou really wants to pick up the egg and throw it at that person’s face: "If you like it so much just take it, you’re just jealous An Nan gives it to and not you?"
In the end, he didn’t act on it because he didn’t want to make An Nan uneasy. On the other hand, he genuinely likes this family and doesn’t want anyone to be unhappy.
As An Jiayou’s emotions swirl within, Lin Mubai remains oblivious. He reasons with brazen innocence, nearly causing An Nan to cough up blood. What kind of lousy excuse is that? This damn man dares to continue acting spoiled? In the next mont, An Nan forgets the elders are present and also his obstinate nature, shouting back, "If you want to eat, then eat, if not, leave it!"
After shouting, An Nan then realizes her behavior towards her son. Would her mother-in-law hold it against her?
Thinking of this, An Nan doesn’t even have the courage to look up. She curses soone a thousand tis over in her mind; her lifeti reputation, ruined just like that.
Annoyed, An Nan directly stomped on soone’s foot under the table. As expected, she heard a grunt of pain.
"Mu Bai, what’s wrong?" Lan Yiqing’s concerned eyes fell on her son’s face.
He shook his head slightly and explained, "I’m fine."
"Really okay?" Lan Yiqing’s eyes showed disbelief.
As for An Nan beside Lin Mubai, she buried her entire face in the bowl before her, not daring to lift it. Even when soone left for work, her anger kept her from seeing him off.
Seeing her so embroiled with conflict, once her unwilling son left, Lan Yiqing pulled her precious daughter-in-law aside to have a heart-to-heart chat. She did not expect her daughter-in-law to be so straightforward; as soon as they sat down, she confessed everything: "Mom, I’m sorry, I was the one who stomped on Little White’s foot under the table."
Lan Yiqing couldn’t hold back anymore, bursting into laughter. An Nan’s whole face twisted in complication, not understanding what her mother-in-law’s chuckle ant, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
As a mother-in-law, Lan Yiqing saw her daughter-in-law’s reaction as a relief. It was at this mont she gently spoke, "Nannan, I don’t think I’ve ever told you, I am truly grateful to you, grateful you are willing to marry my son."
An Nan was instantly taken aback, not fully grasping the deeper aning behind her words.
