Chapter 389: Chapter 388: Jesse Takes a Hit
"Yes, very happy, I haven’t had such a satisfying horseback ride in a long time." Perhaps because of the intense exercise just now, An Nan’s cheeks were flushed, looking incredibly charming.
It was this version of her that caused the eyes of the two men present to fall on her face simultaneously, not willing to blink.
When Lin Mubai noticed this, he quickly stood in front of Jesse. Yes, exactly right, how could he let his little woman’s delicate face be seen by other men, especially by this man who was eyeing his wife with ambition.
Jesse, who saw this overbearing behavior, rolled his eyes helplessly behind but didn’t take any extra actions this time. It wasn’t that he was backing down, but that he simply didn’t have the mindset for it now. The words from Lin Mubai just now had impacted him greatly, and it was the first time he realized the deep meaning of the phrase "there’s always someone better."
Afterward, he heard the man in front of him say with his back turned: "Wife, let’s leave it here for today, let’s go home."
A crisp female voice continued to reach his ears: "Yes, let’s go, heading home."
On the way back, Jesse showed rare silence; melancholy beset his azure eyes, and his handsome face was filled with sorrow, making An Nan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, want to say something several times, but ultimately found herself at a loss for words and remained silent.
Until they returned home, Jesse said hello and mentioned he wouldn’t be having dinner, then went back to his room.
After he left, An Jiayou asked his mom awkwardly, "An Nan, did I do something wrong today?"
An Nan gently combed through his soft black hair, smiling as she said, "No, Uncle Jesse just seems to be in a bad mood, don’t mind him."
Returning to his room, Jesse heavily threw his entire weight onto the soft big bed, his mind in chaos, constantly replaying the harmonious scene of those two smiling at each other, leaving him no chance to step in.
Is it really too late? Is there really no chance left?
If even the last bit of persistence and affection is gone, where should his future lead him to?
That night, without anyone intent on causing trouble, Lin Mubai ate to his fill and slept beautifully.
Of course, An Nan undoubtedly woke up the next day exhausted, glaring resentfully at the man in the room who looked fresh and spirited: "Bastard, bastard, this guy must be some kind of monster stealing yin to supplement yang." Otherwise, why was she so tired while this guy was so invigorated?
The man who was getting dressed noticed the little woman waking up on the bed, swiftly put down what he was holding and came over with a doting expression: "Wife, you’re awake."
"Hmph," An Nan deliberately ignored him, turning her head to the other side.
The man in front of the bed smiled and gently turned her face back to look directly at him, continuing to smile as he said, "Wife, I know I tired you out last night, I’m sorry, but when it comes to you, I just can’t control myself."
An Nan, who originally felt only a little annoyed, completely lost her temper at this point. What did this bastard mean, it was all her fault, was it? Great, just great.
Her beautiful eyes sharply focused on the man’s handsome face, and An Nan suddenly broke into an incredibly radiant smile, making the man in front of her feel a sense of eerie unease, while a bad premonition flooded his heart.
