Free Web NovelChapter 1218: Chapter 1237: Father and Son Competing for Favor (9)
"Wife," Lin Mubai wanted to say something comforting, but was gently interrupted by the other person’s shake of the head: "There’s no need to say anything, I’m fine. It’s just that now that I’m a mother, I can better understand the difficulties my parents faced back then. I can understand the heartbreak my mom felt when she sent me away. She must have been very sad at the time, sending her only daughter to the United States. I can hardly imagine her state of mind now, but I know that she must have been reluctant, yet had no better option."
The people around her were once again touched by her somber tone, and everyone’s mood turned a bit heavy.
Lin Mubai said nothing further, only using his strong arms to tightly hold the two most important women in his life, trying to warm their cold hearts with the warmth of his body.
An Nan’s temper has always been quick to come and quick to go. She never takes too much to heart, as we often say, she’s carefree.
Aunt Fu, seeing her mood almost back to normal, spoke again: "Aunt Fu might have done something wrong today, did I make you unhappy?"
An Nan quickly shook her head vigorously: "No, no, it’s just that I’m feeling a bit down, but I’m fine now. Aunt Fu, you took a flight here early this morning. Are you tired? Do you need to rest a bit?"
The other shook her head immediately: "No, no, I’m not tired."
As she finished speaking, her eyes fell on the little one in the arms of the opposite side, filled with a comforting glow: "The little one looks really nice, resembling both Dad and Mom. You can tell she will grow up to be a little beauty. Who knows how many young boys will be captivated by her."
Upon hearing these words, An Jiayou, who was beside them, intensely focused on the little one, suddenly lifted his beautiful dark eyes and slightly furrowed his brows.
’Who knows how many young boys will be captivated.’
No need to worry; he won’t let something like that happen. He wants this little one’s eyes to only have him.
From then on, An Jiayou’s journey of looking after his little wife was about to begin.
With Aunt Fu, a professional, taking care of them, Lan Yiqing immediately felt much more relaxed. After a few days of observation and hearing the doctor say that both mother and child could be discharged, Lin Mubai wasted no time in taking his wife and child back to B City.
Ling Yichen arrived at the hospital, and upon hearing the people had already been discharged, his expression darkened as he dialed someone’s phone number, with a teasing tone in his voice: "I say, Young Master Lin, there’s no one like you! You use people when they’re useful, then discard them when they’re no longer needed. Is that right?"
On the other end of the line, a quick and dismissive voice responded: "What’s wrong with that? As long as I think it’s fine, I’m good with it."
"Humph, aren’t you just afraid An Nan will fall for me? Got it, got it, no need to explain so much. I called today just to tell you that nothing is foolproof. My company happens to have a project in B City recently. You’ll be there for about three months, so I’ll trouble your sister-in-law to take good care of me, play the role of a good host. Alright, that’s all, goodbye."
Lin Mubai, holding the phone that had been hung up, wore a gloomy look: "Damn it, that bastard is really persistent."
