Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare
Chapter 1210 - 1129: Father and Son Compete for Favor (Part 1)
The words "being divorced," have now become his biggest trigger, besides his wife and daughter.
Anyone who mentions them will definitely get an eye roll from him, or perhaps a harsher warning. If necessary, he might even resort to a little trick.
Lin Mubai, who initially showed concern for the other person, had a face quickly filled with rage and defense upon hearing those words: "What do you intend to do?"
Ling Yichen stood there, shrugging innocently: "I’m not planning on doing anything!"
Hearing this, Lin Mubai felt a slight calm in his unease, yet what Ling Yichen said next made his face twist in rage again.
"However, a gentleman is always attracted to a fair lady; suddenly, I feel my heart, which I thought was dead, has started to revive."
"Ling Yichen, you are forbidden." The man’s voice was full of a stern warning.
Ling Yichen couldn’t care less, continuing to speak with a smug face: "The so-called blood ties, Anna currently has my blood flowing through her veins. I count as someone quite close..."
Ling Yichen continued speaking smugly, noticing the increasingly unsightly expression on the man’s face. He felt no fear at all, instead feeling more smug, pleased that An Nan finally got rid of this fellow, pleased that he had another chance.
Today is truly a good day, he didn’t mind reciprocating something.
Ling Yichen continued speaking amidst the other person’s difficult expression: "You’re curious about who acquired the Zhang Family company, aren’t you?"
Lin Mubai’s eyes flashed sharply: "You know?"
"Of course." There’s nothing happening in S City that Ling Yichen wants to know but cannot find out. Though for this matter, he put in a great deal of effort, mostly because he had a rough idea from the start. Searching along those lines, he found the real person behind the scenes.
Just like years ago, that woman’s methods were swift and ruthless, making him feel as if he was back in school. Under her leadership, they successfully opened market after market, succeeding time and time again.
Lin Mubai calmly watched the other person’s face filled with reminiscence, his eyes full of an increasingly strong confusion. However, his words came out calm and steady: "You’ve said so much, just to keep me in suspense. Since you’ve done so, and now that I am, won’t you reveal the answer directly?"
The other person finally nodded: "Sure, why not? That person is right in front of you, though far away."
"Is it you?"
Ling Yichen immediately raised his right hand’s middle finger: "NO, NO, NO, definitely not me. If it were me, I would have told you directly, not gone round in circles."
He then continued to gaze at the other person, once again lifting the corners of his mouth in a smirk, his eyes filled with disbelief: "You haven’t figured it out yet? Okay, I must admit that caring clouds judgment. Often it’s one’s closest that are most unimaginable."
"Are you saying..."
"Yes, exactly what you’re thinking, the answer that’s in your heart. Isn’t it a surprise? That’s a side of her too, and unfortunately, today you finally had the fortune to see it."
