"Think carefully about my words. I’m not forcing you to give me an answer right now, but I hope the final answer you give me is the one I want to hear, not a rejection." He paused for a moment, his gaze dimmed slightly, then became resolute again, "But even if your final answer is negative, I won’t let go." Without waiting for a response, Lin Mubai quickly left the room.
An Nan only reacted completely when she heard the door close, her hands tightly covering her cheeks. She didn’t dare to look at herself in the mirror, but if she did, she would see herself blushing and shy, just like a girl in love.
Over the years, it wasn’t that no one had confessed to her, but no man had ever made her feel as intensely as Lin Mubai. His confession made her heart beat faster, made her uneasy, and gave her a sense of happiness.
Turning back to the balcony, her original plan was to let the cold wind calm her down, so she could think it over. Ultimately, An Nan realized that her heart was too chaotic, and even the cold wind couldn’t help her calmly think, so she simply abandoned the idea, staring into the dark night sky, allowing her mind to become empty and bewildered.
In the room, her mind was in chaos. Outside the room, Lin Mubai took a deep breath, then seemed to talk to himself: "Good, good, she didn’t refuse, which means I still have a chance. Lin Mubai, keep going."
He firmly believed that a good beginning was the dawn of victory.
Encouraging himself silently, he happily stepped towards the kitchen. Halfway there, he suddenly remembered something and turned to the door next to the master bedroom.

"Jiayou, I’m coming in." Walking into the second bedroom, Lin Mubai saw a small figure curled up on the single sofa by the window. Seeing him enter, the figure didn’t lift their head.
He smiled slightly and walked over: "What’s up, still angry?"
The little guy shook his head slightly, followed by a disappointed voice entering his ears: "Not disappointed, just feel like I did something wrong this time and made An Nan angry."
Hearing the little guy’s words, Lin Mubai’s eyes showed a hint of appreciation. He reached out to gently rub the other’s soft hair and laughed softly: "Do you want An Nan not to be angry with you?"
Little Jia You suddenly raised his head and nodded affirmatively at the person in front of him.
As long as An Nan isn’t angry, he’ll do anything.
"Come with me." After Lin Mubai said this, he turned and left the room.
An Jiayou was unsure what the other person wanted to do but followed along. When they reached the kitchen, Lin Mubai started giving instructions to the little guy: "Go bring the vegetables we bought tonight from the shoe cabinet to the kitchen and help remove the leaves from the celery."
Smart little Jia You instantly understood the other’s intention, quickly turned around, and went to the shoe cabinet in the living room, dragging the large bag of vegetables bought tonight into the kitchen. Then, a bit embarrassed, he said, "Uncle Mu Bai, I don’t recognize celery, can you help me?"
