At the same time, he told himself in his heart: "No matter what the outcome will be three days later, let this sister be a princess for these three days." Because after three days, no matter what choice is made, she will never regain her former dazzling brilliance in this life. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI~Fire.net
Thinking of this, a wave of tenderness flashed in Huo Boxuan’s heart.
After Huo Boxuan left, Lin Mubai also tidied up the documents on the table, preparing to take the little guy home.
An Jiayou sat on the sofa all day, and it wasn’t until just now that he realized something. This person is truly extraordinary, as the way he works and the way he acts in front of An Nan are completely different.
You could say he is two-faced.
As he stared in a daze at the person, Lin Mubai had already packed his things and came to the sofa.
"Little one, why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Mubai had a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, after working all day, there wasn’t a trace of fatigue on his face.
"Hmm, you did it on purpose." Still, with just this one sentence, the two of them, big and little, understood each other.
Yes, he did it on purpose, intentionally exposing this side of himself to the little guy, just to impart a lesson: Lin Mubai is qualified and capable of protecting their mother and son.
At this point, Lin Mubai’s mischievous smile turned into a wicked curve: "Yes, I did it on purpose."
Upon hearing this, An Jiayou surprisingly relaxed, continuing to sit on the sofa while his lips curved up: "Why don’t you go find An Nan." This had been his lingering question all day.
Since coming home last night until now, this man had been silently keeping to himself, not asking where An Nan was, nor going to find her, which made him think that perhaps he had given up. But now he realized he hadn’t given up at all, rather he seemed to be plotting something, and at the same time, he wanted someone to pray a little.
"An Nan, hope you don’t get too badly punished when you return this time."
There’s a saying, ’Either explode in silence or perish in silence,’ and at this moment, he felt this saying was incredibly true. He just didn’t know which type this person belonged to; if based on how he dealt with that person earlier, it should be the former, just that the timing wasn’t right.
Lin Mubai did not disappoint the little guy, soon giving a decisive answer: "I don’t want to go after her; I want her to come back willingly. Little one, wait for the good show in three days."
A good show? What kind of good show?
An Jiayou became increasingly confused and ultimately decided it was best not to ask further. Both An Nan and this person are masters of scheming, and if you’re not careful, you might end up being completely devastated by these two. Until he has enough power to oppose them, it’s better to hide in the corner and be a good kid.
Throughout the day, everything Lin Mubai did was silently observed by Rocky. Without hesitation, he decided to keep everything hidden from a certain little woman, with a strange curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
"An Nan, it seems your judgment of men isn’t bad after all. This Lin Mubai surely cares a lot about you." As for why he wanted to hide it, the reason was simple: he felt that certain little woman indeed needed some sorting out.
And so, An Nan, in total ignorance, was simultaneously ’sold out’ by An Jiayou and Rocky, receiving nothing in return.
