Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Don’t Care About An Nan’s Past (1)

Later, he discovered something very peculiar—she stood beside his son, whose aura was immensely powerful. Yet, she never let anyone ignore her. She didn’t need to speak, just standing there with a gentle smile, people couldn’t help but focus their gaze on her.

If someone like this was simply nurtured by the family, he wouldn’t believe it at all. Moreover, her behavior at the dining table made him certain of this.

There’s just one thing he’s unclear about, so he asked his son about it.

He estimated he would never forget his son’s response: "Dad, I don’t care who she is, whether the daughter of a criminal, previously married, or the daughter of a wealthy family. For me, she’s just An Nan, just my acknowledged future wife, I want her."

After hearing these words, he was enlightened, stepping forward to pat his son’s shoulder and said, "Mu Bai, very good, you’ve grown up. Go pursue what you want, Dad will always be your strong support."

Isn’t life just like this? A few decades long, and giving up something worthwhile for meaningless superficial matters—isn’t it quite pointless?

Moreover, it’s not easy to meet someone you truly love in a lifetime. Once you do, you should hold onto them tightly instead of easily letting go.

Lin Mubai’s meeting with the family went smoothly, surprisingly so. There was no barrier from the elders, no parental objections, nor ridicule from friends and relatives—so smooth that An Nan felt as if this was her family, and Lin Mubai was the son-in-law visiting the parents.

When An Nan brought, pulled, and carried countless expensive gifts back to her little nest, she began to worry.

Staring at a table filled with gifts, she glared at the man sitting opposite her, so leisurely, and said angrily, "You better take these things away, they annoy me."

Clearly treasures sought after by many, yet in this woman’s hands they seemed like a hot potato.

Lin Mubai sat on the sofa, silent for a long time, with a look of confusion.

His excessive silence made An Nan beside him very anxious. She wanted to speak several times but didn’t know what to say, so she remained silent.

The living room became quiet for a moment, and the silent atmosphere made An Nan uncomfortable. She sat gloomily on the sofa, her head lowered.

Seeing her so aggrieved, Lin Mubai couldn’t help but chuckle.

This is just her nature, isn’t it? Had she not been this way, he wouldn’t have liked her. Oh well, let her be, if she doesn’t like them, she doesn’t like them. When she likes something in the future, he’ll buy it for her.

So Lin Mubai spoke up, "Nannan, if you don’t like those things, just put them away for now."

"But..." She wanted to say that since they were pretending to be a couple, receiving gifts from his family didn’t feel right. But for some reason, she couldn’t say this.

Lin Mubai certainly knew what she wanted to say. Though he felt uneasy inside, he was also clearly aware that he had no good reason to counter, so he could only change the subject: "Leave the things there for now, I’m a bit tired, heading to the room to rest."

For the first time, Lin Mubai didn’t wait for An Nan to rest before going to his room.

The person behind watched his departing figure in a daze, and even after he disappeared at the doorway, An Nan continued to sit on the sofa, dazed.
