Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 838 - 857: The Truth An Nan Doesn’t Want to Admit

His gaze continued to linger on the person in Lin Mubai’s embrace, while the voices and words of others were merely optional to him.

While Xi Xinlan couldn’t get an affirmative response from him for a long time, anxiety began to surface in her eyes: "Li Yan, say something, ask her to hand over the Nanqi Group."

Beside her, An Yuya also chimed in after Xi Xinlan’s words: "Yes, Brother, ask her to hand over the company. Not only did she take over the company, she also drove Mom out of it, and even angered Grandpa to collapse."

Listening to An Yuya’s words, An Nan, nestled in her husband’s embrace, let a cold smile curl at her lips, having to admit that this woman’s ability to stir up trouble was truly formidable, so formidable that others could not even come close.

So what was Brother’s attitude and thoughts?

Thinking of this, An Nan slightly raised her eyes, and her gaze landed on An Liyang’s face not far away. Just as they locked eyes, a shiver ran through her heart. What was going on? Clearly, Brother had come back to life, Brother had returned; it should have been a very happy event, so why was there such a complex psychology after happiness?

Brother seemed to have become a stranger, a stranger unlike the Brother Li Yan she used to know.

Although he was still the same person, still as handsome as ever, and the gentle curve at the corner of his mouth was just like before, why did it feel different, feel unfamiliar? And there was this slight estrangement—could it really be that time had distanced everything?

As An Nan’s complex gaze landed on him, An Liyang’s eyes also looked over. He didn’t directly state his demands but instead smiled and asked back, "Nan’er, what do you think I should do?"

With just one word, Nan’er, several people’s faces changed drastically, especially Lin Mubai’s eyes, which became increasingly gloomy and bewildering, including An Nan, who was in his arms. She noticed his change in emotion immediately and tugged at his sleeve, asking softly, "What’s wrong? Are you angry?"

At her words, Lin Mubai’s anger and displeasure disappeared immediately, leaving only a deep sense of helplessness. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Having such a wife who was slow in emotions, Lin Mubai deeply felt that to be bothered with her was to trouble himself. He continued to shake his head helplessly and denied her words, "Not angry, just worried you might get tired."

"I’m fine, it’s okay." An Nan shook her head again.

Actually, she was indeed a bit tired; her eyes were already blurry, but in order not to worry him, she kept going.

Even after receiving an answer, Lin Mubai’s heart was still very uneasy: "Then if you get tired, tell me immediately, don’t keep pushing yourself."

"Okay."

As An Nan’s words fell, Lin Mubai continued to let her body lean against him. Such an affectionate scene fell into An Liyang’s eyes, making his deep eyes even gloomier quietly, yet the curve of his lips became more radiant than usual. Without getting the answer he wanted, he continued, "Nan’er, what do you think my answer is?"

After the surprise, her mood slowly returned to a calmness that she had never experienced before. But even such calmness couldn’t conceal the deep sadness in An Nan’s heart. Why, why? It turned out time really could change a person; even those who once meant the most to her had changed.
