Of course, under such circumstances, she had no room to protest, or the big guy in her arms would show her an even more pitiful face, and she was afraid she might be overwhelmed by sourness.
Under An Nan’s relentless questioning, Young Master Lin finally agreed to explain: "Wife, your future mother-in-law is heartless. I’m hospitalized, and she didn’t even come to see me."
Upon hearing that, the corners of An Nan’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. Future mother-in-law? Let’s just ignore that for now.
But, what’s this all about? How is she supposed to meddle in matters between her boyfriend and his mom? Supporting her boyfriend by speaking against his mom didn’t seem like something a junior should do. But if she doesn’t help, the guy in her arms might have issues again. The more she thought about it, the stranger it all sounded, and soon, she realized where the oddity lay.
Whether in TV dramas or novels, they often talk about the tense confrontations between fathers-in-law and sons-in-law. But here, everything was different. Not only was there no legendary war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but she was also caught between this mother and son duo, not fitting in anywhere.
As An Nan’s expression grew increasingly strange, Lin Mubai, who was snuggling up and acting cute, finally noticed something was off and felt a thud in his heart.
What to do? His wife’s expression was really odd.
At this moment, Lin Mubai couldn’t tell if she was angry or something else, anxiety gnawing at him inside.
Thus, the topic of Lin Mubai’s mother not caring about him didn’t continue.
The next day, Lin Mubai was set to be discharged from the hospital, but something happened in the last ten minutes before discharge that made him exceptionally unhappy.
Watching the woman in front of him hang up the phone, his face was full of grievance: "Wife, I’m just discharged, and you’re already going to abandon me?"
An Nan instantly felt the urge to just drop this man and bolt.
What kind of weirdo is this? Clearly so aloof and proud in front of others, yet what’s with him around her? A magnetic field mismatch? Why does it feel like he’s a different person, capable of acting cute and selling charm endlessly?
Too weary to pursue his form of address, and not wanting to bother responding to his words anymore, An Nan glared at him fiercely, extremely impatient: "If I don’t work, you’ll support me, huh?"
"I’m more than happy to support you."
The moment the words reached his lips, Lin Mubai forcibly swallowed them back. If he had said them, the woman in front of him would surely despise him to death, but those words truly expressed his inner feelings. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveI★Fire.net
The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt. What kind of world is this where you can’t even speak honest words?
In the midst of Young Master Lin’s aggrieved thoughts, An Nan returned to her job on schedule the next day.
Before she left, the one she couldn’t stop worrying about was the little guy.
That day, just as Lin Mubai was discharged and got home, Xi Shaoqi brought the little one back. In the evening, An Nan called out to the little guy in the living room: "Jiayou, I have to go back to work tomorrow, you..."
An Nan’s words were interrupted by Little Jia You: "Alright, alright, just go to work with peace of mind. Uncle Mubai will take care of me."
"No buts. I promise, when you come back and see me, I’ll still be the chubby An Jiayou that I am now."
On the side, having been ignored from start to finish, Young Master Lin watched his woman only caring about the little guy as she was about to leave, feeling more and more sour in his heart.
Why, why? He’s the one who’s still a patient and needs more care!
