Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare-Chapter 872 - 891: The Turmoil in An Nan’s Heart
After a slight surprise, An Nan realized that the other party didn’t know the truth. She contemplated briefly and began to slowly reveal the shocking news: "Aunt Fu, did you know? Actually, my brother didn’t die in the accident back then. He’s returned."
Speechless, mouth agape in utter shock and disbelief.
This was Aunt Fu’s reaction. After the shock, she stared nervously at the other party: "Nannan, are you too nostalgic and misunderstood, perhaps that person isn’t your brother."
An Nan shook her head firmly and continued: "Aunt Fu, I’m not the only one who saw him. Everyone at last night’s banquet saw him."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Fu’s expression turned tense: "Wasn’t Xinlan at the banquet yesterday too? Did they meet?"
Aunt Fu, despite her age, had a clear mind and quickly connected to key points, rapidly accepting that the outstanding young man hadn’t died in the accident years ago.
An Nan nodded again: "They all met, the atmosphere at the scene was chaotic, and my mind went blank."
Aunt Fu quickly understood why An Nan might have fainted: "Did you faint right at the banquet."
"Mm, quite embarrassing isn’t it."
In response to An Nan’s self-deprecation, Aunt Fu quickly replaced it with a disapproving look: "Embarrassing? I haven’t even started on you yet! You’re an adult and still don’t know how to take care of yourself. Think about your current state of health. When sensing something is wrong, did you not think to retreat immediately? Why go head-to-head with Xi Xilan, that venomous woman."
Understanding that Aunt Fu cared for her, An Nan felt nothing but warmth despite the reproach. She actively grasped Aunt Fu’s hands and nodded firmly: "Aunt Fu, I’m sorry to have worried you all." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"It’s alright, you need to learn to take care of yourself from now on. I know you can’t let go of the mistress’s matters, but as someone who has been through it, Aunt Fu wants to tell you, life is about knowing when to hold on and when to let go. I believe the young lady wouldn’t blame you; what she wanted most was for you to be happy. So, when it comes to her and the young master’s affairs, do what you can." In her heart, she understood that many things were clear to everyone, but doing them was difficult, especially when the key people involved were one’s closest.
An Nan indeed understood these principles, yet achieving them was exceedingly hard; if she could have let go, she would’ve done so years ago—there’s no need to wait until now.
But in front of Aunt Fu, to avoid worrying her, An Nan obediently nodded: "Aunt Fu, I’ve handed Dad and Mom’s issues to Mu Bai. I’m now just focused on taking care of the child in my belly."
This statement immediately brought a comforting smile to Aunt Fu’s face: "Good, very good, it’s great to have clarity." After a slight pause, she shifted the topic to Li Yan: "Nannan, what are your thoughts on your brother’s return this time?"
Since he didn’t die in the accident back in the day, why did he hide for so many years, neglecting his child? It’s abnormal no matter how you think about it.
