Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 804 - 823: Scheming Against Each Other
In the midst of Lan Yiqing’s stiff smile, Lin Mubai coldly said, "Miss, we’re not very familiar, are we? Please address me as Mr. Lin or Chairman Lin. I really can’t take being called Brother Mubai—if my wife knew and misunderstood, it wouldn’t be good."
Young Master Lin’s voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for everyone to hear, which made one imagine the colorful scene of An Yuya’s complexion at the moment—it was undoubtedly spectacular.
Growing up, she had indeed been embarrassed before, but never as humiliated as at this moment. After all, being a woman, her psychological endurance was somewhat weak. An Yuya bit her lip tightly and stood in place, stubbornness and unwilling hate filling her eyes.
There’s a saying: the deeper you love someone, the deeper you hate them. At this moment, An Yuya truly started to hate. Why could this man in front of her hurt her so recklessly, just because she loved him?
Tears spun in her eyes for a long time but never fell.
Several times she wanted to ask questions, but lacked the courage to shout, because sometimes the answer was clear to oneself, yet acting upon it was so difficult. She found that she still couldn’t do it.
Just when the atmosphere reached an unprecedented tension, An Ruiyang began to speak some smoothing words: "Mu Bai, I forgot to introduce you. This is my granddaughter. You met when you were young. You probably forgot. Back then, Yu Ya always followed you around calling you Brother Mubai and said she wanted to marry you when she grew up. Over these years, she’s always remembered you fondly; you probably just forgot."
Lin Mubai listened to his words with a half-smile, secretly cursing in his heart, "Old fox."
Just with this simple statement from the old man, the plan he had painstakingly arranged was disrupted, not to mention he was labeled as childhood friends with An Yuya, further implying that she had harbored deep feelings for years, whereas he, Lin Mubai, was portrayed as someone who could cleanly forget even his childhood friends.
To say he wasn’t angry would be false, yet at this moment he couldn’t tear into the old fellow completely. Lin Mubai could only keep pretending, then he casually glanced at An Yuya and continued, "So Miss An is Mr. An’s granddaughter. My apologies; as they say, women change greatly in eighteen years, and it’s been so long, my memory isn’t great. I hope Miss An won’t mind."
After momentarily addressing An Yuya, his sharp gaze fell back on An Ruiyang, appearing indifferent: "Mr. An, long time no see."
An Ruiyang nearly shouted back, "You nearly angered me to death on the phone the other day." But he held back, maintaining the same half-smile. "Young Master Lin is now quite the talented youth of B City; remembering me, this old-timer, is truly an honor."
"Mr. An, you joke." Lin Mubai promptly shifted the subject: "Mr. An, let me introduce someone to you. This is Mr. Rocky, the current Executive President of Nanqi Group. Mr. Luo, this is Mr. An. There’s somewhat of a connection between you two."
"Really?" Rocky feigned curiosity, echoing Lin Mubai’s words, though in his heart he had cursed this man a thousand times over.
