Lin Mubai touched his nose, looking innocent. He was just kindly calling them to have breakfast, where did he go wrong? Why were they glaring at him like this?
At that moment, Aunt Fu came out to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright, what’s going on so early in the morning? Mu Bai worked hard to make breakfast for you both, big and small, yet he’s still in the wrong? None of you know how to be grateful, glaring at him like that, really ungrateful."
After this reproach, she called out to Lin Mubai, "Mu Bai, if they don’t eat, so be it. Let them go hungry. Let’s eat first, don’t you have to go to the company later? Don’t be late."
As she spoke, she glanced secretly at An Nan beside her. She admitted she did it on purpose, just to ease the tension between this young couple, making a certain woman feel uneasy inside.
And his words, seeing someone’s flustered eyes, were halfway to success.
He still has to go to the company today.
An Nan raised her surprised black eyes to look at the man not far away, her heart no longer calm, but full of waves.
He still had to go to work in the morning, yet he got up personally to make breakfast. Realizing this, it’s impossible to say she wasn’t moved.
More so, she couldn’t remain indifferent; she slightly parted her lips, attempting to say something, but when she realized they weren’t the only ones in the living room, the words stayed inside her.
Lin Mubai silently noted her subtle movements, feeling a flash of joy in his heart. There was finally some improvement between the two of them.
Afterwards, he proactively invited her to have breakfast. Although An Nan felt uneasy, thinking of the breakfast this man had gotten up early to prepare, she couldn’t refuse. Ultimately, beneath a hint of awkwardness, she sat at the breakfast table.
Breakfast time was very quiet. From start to finish, no one said an extra word; only occasionally, the sound of chopsticks hitting porcelain could be heard.
After breakfast, An Nan didn’t immediately return to the room. She continued sitting by the table and when she saw the man getting up to leave, she forgot about her injury and stood up quickly, pulling on her stomach wound. She couldn’t help but gasp in pain.
The man who was about to leave quickly turned around and came over to support her, eyes full of worry: "Wife, what’s wrong? Where does it hurt? Are you alright?"
Because she had just aggravated her wound, it was incredibly painful. An Nan couldn’t speak from the pain, only holding the spot with her hand. After the pain gradually subsided, she lifted her pale face and shook her head at him: "I’m fine."
"Are you really alright?" Lin Mubai still looked unbelieving.
"I’m fine."
Seeing her stubborn silence, Lin Mubai had no way to force her to speak and could only say softly, with a pained expression: "Wife, let me carry you back to the room, okay?"
This time, An Nan didn’t refuse. She gently nodded: "Okay."
Carefully settling his beloved woman on the large bed in the master bedroom, Lin Mubai didn’t immediately turn to leave, but instead sat down on the edge of the bed: "Wife, can we have a proper talk?"
An Nan listened to his words and first hesitated slightly.
