Just as Lin Mubai stared blankly at the other party, An Nan’s sowhat somber voice continued to reach her ears: "Jiayou and I ran into Li Yan today."
It’s Li Yan, not Brother—what happened exactly?
Lin Mubai hadn’t cleared up the confusion in her mind when the other’s voice continued to reach her ears: "At that mont, I clearly saw the spark in Jiayou’s eyes change from joy to disappointnt, then finally to despair and indifference, yet I cannot do anything for him."
"Honey..." Lin Mubai didn’t know how to comfort her; he could only look at the other anxiously.
An Nan seed unable to hear his call, still talking to herself: "Jiayou is his child, and I’m so concerned about him. All these years, we’ve never forgotten him, but him? How did he act like last ti, was he happy?"
Ultimately, no one could answer these complaints for her, neither could Lin Mubai, because he wasn’t the one involved and didn’t understand what the involved party thought. So, he couldn’t say much, but only tightly embraced her, trying to use the warmth of his body to comfort her wounded heart.
The couple embraced each other for a long ti before An Nan voluntarily pushed him away: "I’m fine now, just like Mom said, I understand a lot in my heart, I just don’t want to accept it. Fine, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s just let things take their natural course!"
Lin Mubai slowly nodded.
For most of the ti afterward, An Nan kept talking, and Lin Mubai quietly listened.
The atmosphere between them was no longer tense; instead, it was harmonious and beautiful.
About half an hour later, An Nan felt a bit tired and suggested going back to rest; Lin Mubai naturally agreed happily.
The living room of the Lin Family was already empty by then; before going to the bedroom, An Nan worriedly glanced upstairs, Lin Mubai quickly noticed and chuckled to reassure her, "Mom and Dad are fine, don’t worry!"
As the son vouched everything is fine, what could the daughter-in-law say?
An Nan then turned and entered the room.
Lin Mubai didn’t follow her in; instead, he turned and stopped in front of a room upstairs, then raised his hand to gently knock on the door. Soon, a clear voice ca from inside, "Co in, the door’s unlocked."
An Jiayou wasn’t surprised when he saw who ca in; he just calmly asked, "So late, is there sothing you need from ?"
Lin Mubai calmly nodded again, yet as he slightly opened his mouth, he found himself unsure what to say.
At last, the other volunteered to bring up the topic: "You want to ask about that man, right?"
Who is that man?
Lin Mubai knew well in his heart; he slowly nodded, confirming the other’s words.
Earlier, the child’s mother ntioned eting that person today, sparking his curiosity about what exactly happened today, yet he couldn’t ask due to the mother’s overly sorrowful expression.
His own mother, too, knew what happened today, but considering it’s late at night, he found it inappropriate to ask her, so he ca to ask this child. Mainly, he wants to understand what’s on the child’s mind today.
