Seeing the shock in the woman's eyes, Lin Mubai knew he had bet on the right horse and regained his confidence.
"Wife, the promise to divorce you for that woman was really just temporary. I truly love you, so don't leave me—I won't be able to bear it."
Lin Mubai started employing both soft and hard tactics, resorting to a sympathy plea, fully aware that this approach was effective on his wife.
Though even he found this manner unappealing, he didn't care. No one was watching, and as long as it worked, it didn't matter.
"Wife, promise me you won't leave me."
"Wife."
"Wife... wife..."
Despite his confidence, Lin Mubai still felt uneasy. After all, human hearts are the hardest to decipher, and he feared hearing an answer he didn't want.
In the end, his beloved did not disappoint him: "I won't leave you, but..."
An Nan deliberately piqued his curiosity.
"But what?" As long as it's not leaving, everything is negotiable.
