After Lan Yiqing, Old Madam Lin also handed over a exquisite box: "Granddaughter-in-law, this is a gift from Grandpa and me, happy birthday."
Even little An Jiayou handed over a delicate little box: "An Nan, happy birthday, you’re one year older now."
If the gift her husband gave her in the early hours made her very excited, then these three gifts now leave her speechless to express the feelings of excitement in her heart, her eyes instantly reddened.
Lin Mubai quickly stood up from the sofa, came to his wife’s side, and embraced her in his arms. Read full story at novel·fire.net
When An Nan’s emotions gradually calmed down, she choked up and expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, thank you, Dad and Mom."
Then Mr. Lin spoke up representing the attitude of the entire Lin Family: "Alright, girl, don’t cry, you are already a member of the Lin Family, saying this is being too polite, isn’t it?"
"I understand, Grandpa."
"Good, dear." Then he unhappily growled at his grandson: "Mu Bai, why aren’t you quickly pulling your wife to sit down, don’t you know she’s one person with two bodies right now."
Lin Mubai once again felt like he was out of favor, helplessly pouting but didn’t refute anything. He just said: "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, An Nan and I are going out today, so we won’t sit. I represent my wife to thank everyone for the gifts."
"Humph, cheeky, Nannan is not alone now, you need to take good care of her."
Lin Mubai then accompanied his wife back to the room to change clothes, and realized that his wife was too quiet: "What’s wrong, wife?"
He tightly embraced her from behind, resting his head on her shoulder, savoring this rare moment of warmth and quiet.
An Nan did not struggle, instead she leaned her body into the warm embrace behind her, seemingly wanting his body warmth to comfort herself.
At this moment, her thoughts were very chaotic, the joyous feelings she had just gained in the living room had now dissipated, leaving only a deep sense of unease. Even though she understood that there are always joys and sorrows in life, and although she had decided not to hide anything from this man anymore, at this moment, her heart was still hesitant, unsure if involving him was a good idea, after all, her matters were quite complex.
"What are you thinking?" The silence of the person in his arms made Lin Mubai feel a trace of unease, feeling that she was incredibly distant, that he couldn’t reach her.
An Nan hesitated for a moment before asking: "Little White, have you ever regretted anything in your life?"
Lin Mubai, although unclear about her question’s intent, answered honestly: "No, dad told me from a young age not to regret things I’ve done, so I’ve never regretted anything, because even if I did regret, I’d tell myself, what’s the use of regretting when things have already happened. What we need to do is bravely look forward, this is what I’ve always told myself whenever I faced any setbacks over all these years."
When he was young, working hard alone in the United States, those initial days were particularly tough, he told himself in his heart: "Lin Mubai, this is your own choice, so you have no room for regret now. You must forge ahead."
With such thoughts, he became who he is today.
