Free Web NovelChapter 1221: Chapter 1240: Father and Son Compete for Favor (12)
Unexpectedly, after hearing his account, the other party nonchalantly replied: "My daughter-in-law makes a very good point! After a couple divorces, continuing to live with the husband’s family is indeed not ideal. Since Nannan doesn’t want to live in the Lin Family Mansion, she might as well stay in her apartment for now. It’s no big deal if your dad, your grandpa, and grandma, and I have to work a little harder."
After hearing this, the only feeling he had was utter frustration.
What’s this? Is everyone turning against me?
Even if it doesn’t reach that level, it’s pretty close.
He couldn’t convince his own mom, and he had no way to persuade his wife. Lin Mubai had no choice but to consider moving over there himself, but, to his surprise, his plan fell through again.
On the first day An Nan returned to her apartment, that evening, his plan was, no matter what, to stay there tonight. So after dinner, when everyone was getting ready for bed, he remained seated on the sofa in the living room, showing no intention of leaving.
An Nan was holding the little one, and their son was by her side. It should have been a family bliss scene, except for the resentful face next to them, ruining the sweetness.
An Nan looked at him with discontent: "It’s late, aren’t you going to leave?"
Lin Mubai’s face was as resentful as it could be, and he started to negotiate: "Wife, can I stay over tonight? You see, you can’t take care of the baby all by yourself. I can help you. I’ve read all the parenting books and am almost half an expert." As he spoke, his face was filled with flattery, comical to the extreme.
An Nan found his expression both amusing and infuriating, but what was certain was that her inner anger had mostly dissipated. Still, she sternly refused: "No need, Aunt Fu is here at night. And if it’s not enough, little Jiayou can help me take care of his sister."
Next to her, An Jiayou quickly nodded in agreement: "Yeah, yeah, I can help at night. I’m more than happy to take care of my sister." As he spoke, he didn’t forget to throw a triumphant look at someone.
Lin Mubai was so angry he almost spat blood on the spot. This brat didn’t help but instead kicked him when he was down. He just waits; he’d better hope he never falls into his hands. Otherwise, he would definitely make him learn how to write the word ’regret’.
Deliberately ignoring the little one’s gloating look, Lin Mubai’s resentful gaze continued to fall on his wife’s indifferent face, trying to continue using words to sway her.
Before he could even speak, a firmer voice reached his ears: "Lin Mubai, if you don’t leave, I’ll take our daughter and go to my grandfather’s mansion. You do what you want!"
Upon hearing that this woman was going to take his precious baby to the mansion, Lin Mubai immediately became respectful.
He was still coming and going freely to this apartment. If they really went to the mansion, he’d probably be stuck looking from outside the main gate. So he had better obediently leave.
"Wife, I’m leaving."
"Mm, go on, go on."
"Wife, I’m really leaving."
"Mm."
"Wife." Can’t she ask him to stay a bit?
Unexpectedly, the next moment, not only did she not ask him to stay, but she also yelled: "Are you leaving or not?"
"I’m going, I’m going."
