So it turns out it’s a pretend girlfriend situation. An Nan felt a wave of disappointment in her heart once again, though she didn’t show it on her face at all. But deep down, she was still hesitant, as deceiving elders always feels wrong.
Lin Mubai was incredibly astute, and of course, he knew exactly what An Nan was hesitating about.
He continued speaking, persisting in his persuasion: "Nannan, don’t worry. When I have a girlfriend, I’ll immediately explain everything to my mom."
"Alright then." Little White had said so much, she couldn’t reasonably refuse any longer. This time, she decided to help a friend out.
Little did An Nan know that by agreeing, she was completely entrapping herself, or rather, falling into Lin Mubai’s trap, making it difficult to climb out from then on.
When Lin Mubai heard An Nan agree, a joyful expression instantly appeared on his face as he briefly explained: "Nannan, don’t be nervous. Let’s just act like we usually do. My family is great; they won’t make things difficult for you."
Not only will they not make things difficult, but they’ll likely treat you like a treasure.
The Lin Family has been passing down the family line with single descendants for generations, always without female children. His mom and dad used to want to have a daughter so badly. At one point, they decided that if he was born a boy, they’d have a little princess next. But unfortunately, his mom frightened his dad during his birth, prompting his dad to get a vasectomy swiftly the day after he was born, dashing the Nan family’s wish for a little princess.
Ever since then, his mom’s most often quoted words were: "I’ll definitely nurture my daughter-in-law into my daughter and spoil her well."
And his mom had been looking forward to that day for a long time; now that a daughter-in-law had finally arrived, there was no way she would easily let go.
Lin Mubai took advantage of this idea, daring to trick An Nan into coming home early. With his mom’s help, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The car was once again driving on the asphalt road, and unlike Lin Mubai’s relaxed mindset, An Nan was much more nervous.
She started to speak up herself, seeking out some topics about the Lin Family.
"Little White, who else is in your family, and what are their personalities like?"
Understanding that An Nan wanted to learn about his family members in advance, Lin Mubai carefully introduced them: "There’s Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, and then me. Grandpa is like an old mischievous child; he seems serious, but he’s actually great. Dad loves Mom the most, always focusing on whatever makes Mom happy. So as long as Mom is happy, nothing else matters."
Listening to this, An Nan suddenly felt a wave of jealousy. It wasn’t hard to imagine that this young man’s dad must truly love his mom, hence focusing everything on his wife. Such love is envied by people all over the world and is hard to find.
Perhaps sensing An Nan’s inner thoughts, Lin Mubai quietly said to her: "Nannan, you’ll definitely be very happy in the future."
"Maybe." The source of thɪs content is novel-fire.net
She had long stopped demanding such things fervently, even daring not to demand them. Her responsibilities wouldn’t allow her the luxury of happiness.
Sensing An Nan’s sudden change in mood but unsure what was wrong, Lin Mubai felt somewhat irritated. To prevent the atmosphere from continuing this way, he could only change the topic: "My dad’s side of the family is simple, but my mom’s side has more people. You know, I have three uncles. My mom is the youngest at home, so she was spoiled from a young age.
