Chapter 543: Chapter 543

An Nan opened her blurry eyes and heard her husband’s heartfelt confession, "Wife, happy birthday, I love you."

As the words fell, a sapphire necklace appeared around her neck.

In an instant, any trace of sleep vanished from An Nan, her eyes filled with a glow of emotion. She stared blankly at the handsome man beside her, whose face was adorned with a beaming smile, unable to utter a single word.

She hadn’t heard those four simple words—happy birthday—for many years. When was the last time she’d heard them? It seemed like it was back when Dad and Mom were still alive. Now, thinking about it, it felt so distant that she couldn’t recall the scene from those days.

Eventually, An Nan choked out two words, "Thank you."

Thank you for being willing to love me, thank you for staying by my side, thank you for marrying me and forever being my other half. Even countless thank yous couldn’t express the deep feelings in An Nan’s heart at this moment.

Lin Mubai seemed to sense the complexity buried in his wife’s heart and gently pulled her into his embrace, continuing to murmur into her ear, "Wife, knowing you is the happiest thing in my life. From now on, I will strive to provide a warm home for you and our child."

From acquaintances to understanding each other to becoming a married couple, Lin Mubai had almost understood everything about his wife, so he clearly knew the family warmth she lacked. He was determined to fill in everything she had lost.

Before falling asleep, An Nan reminded her husband once more, "Remember to accompany me somewhere tomorrow."

"Alright, I know. Sleep now, or you won’t have energy tomorrow."

The next morning, the Lin Family gave An Nan another surprise.

Ever since An Nan became pregnant, her family had reminded her to sleep until she woke up naturally, as there was no need to get up so early. An Nan indeed couldn’t manage to get up early, so she slowly got used to it and didn’t feel shy about it anymore.

This morning was the same, the only difference being the familiar figure was absent. The next moment, her hand touched the position of her neck, feeling the presence of that necklace. She could affirm that everything last night was not a dream.

Thinking about the events to happen today, her previously gloomy mood was slightly alleviated, and she even felt a bit eager to see that person.

Subsequently, she quickly walked into the room’s attached bathroom to wash up, then left the room. Step by step, she carefully made her way to the first-floor living room, where An Nan saw the entire family waiting for her, including her son, and everyone greeted her warmly.

Lan Yiqing saw her daughter-in-law waking up and hurried over, kindly asking, "You’re awake, are you hungry?"

An Nan nodded honestly, with a hint of unease on her cheeks.

Lan Yiqing then led her toward the home’s dining room and instructed the servants to bring the breakfast that had been prepared, watching her daughter-in-law eat bite by bite. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveI(F)ire.net

"Mom, have you all eaten yet?" An Nan, feeling watched, tried to find a topic of conversation.

"Yes, we already have. It’s just you who haven’t eaten. There’s still plenty left, why not eat more?"

An Nan shook her head, "Mom, I’m full, I don’t want any more."

Lan Yiqing did not insist further and said, "If you’re not eating, then let’s go to the living room."

As An Nan followed her into the living room, Lan Yiqing took a beautifully crafted gift box from the coffee table and handed it to her, "Girl, this is the gift from Dad and me. Happy birthday."
