Lan Yiqing saw the text from her son the next morning: "Mom, thank you for your understanding. Believe me, that child is not An Nan’s biological son, but I believe you’ll like him once you see him. He’s an outstanding boy. And don’t worry, you’ll soon meet your future daughter-in-law, and maybe even gain a grandson."
That day, Lan Yiqing was in high spirits.
Not just because she learned the name of her future daughter-in-law, but also because her son told her she’d soon have a little grandson.
Encouraged by his mother’s support, Lin Mubai felt even more confident. He got up early to busy himself in the kitchen, deciding to reward a certain woman for her exemplary behavior over the past two days.
Young Master Lin prepared breakfast and promptly knocked on someone’s door at eight o’clock.
Suddenly sitting up in bed, An Nan looked angry: "Is there no end to this? What time is it? Why call me up now?"
Even though she slept early last night, she still felt very sleepy.
The man outside the door listened to the frustration coming from inside, smiled indulgently, and issued another playful threat: "After breakfast, let’s go to the supermarket."
After saying this, he turned around and left, confident that he would soon see someone rushing to appear before him.
Sure enough, as he turned, the room door was flung open from the inside, and an angry figure appeared, blocking his way.
Staring angrily at the stunning man in front of her, An Nan was filled with fury and didn’t know where to unleash it. She couldn’t understand why someone who should be an aloof and beautiful man liked doing things she disliked. This beautiful morning should be spent sleeping, but instead, he insisted on waking her up at eight every day, like an alarm clock that’s always on time.
She had tolerated it again and again, so today she must resist. An Nan is not easily bullied by men. Before she rebelled, she needed to vent a little, otherwise, she might be consumed by her anger before her defiance succeeded.
Her gaze grew more intense as she looked at a spot on his exposed neck, where she saw familiar red marks left by her bite a few days ago, still vivid now. She could imagine how hard she bit back then, and now she wanted to bite him again, harshly, on his fair neck, to embarrass him more and vent her dissatisfaction.
Compared to An Nan’s passionate eyes, Lin Mubai appeared very calm. But this didn’t mean he was uncertain about what the woman before him was thinking. She was just recalling the events from a few days ago and now wanted to bite him again.
The light in his eyes unintentionally grew more intense but was quickly concealed. Sometimes, letting the little woman before him take the initiative was far more interesting than forcing her.
Although being bitten was painful, he liked her fierce determination and her smugness afterward, the way she looked pleased with herself was like a cunning little fox. It made him want to hold her close and love her dearly.
He silently traced the area on his neck where she bit him, feeling her gaze grow darker. Very good; he could continue to tempt her.
