“You two, what exactly is going on?!”
Jiang Qinghe couldn’t hold it in and shouted.
Something was wrong here.
These two sisters shouldn’t be acting the same way.
Which one of them had their status stolen yet didn’t care, while the other rushed over to save someone?
Shouldn’t they be fighting to the death, fighting over the An family’s assets and the position of Chen family’s daughter-in-law?
What the hell was happening right now?!
The commotion finally drew in the last member of the An family.
“What happened?”
An Yunfan stood at the doorway of An Yu’s room, frowning seriously.
He looked at the three women inside the room, his heart full of confusion.
Everything had been fine just moments ago. How did it suddenly turn out like this?
Seeing An Yunfan arrive, Jiang Qinghe quickly suppressed the expression on her face.
Although she was still grinding her teeth in her heart, she gradually returned to her usual appearance.
After all, everything was just an act.
She still needed to continue playing the role of the virtuous wife and loving mother until everything came to light.
An Yunfan walked in.
For the first time, he displayed the authority of the head of the household.
However, his authority was only directed at An Yu.
Seeing this, An Yunfan nodded at Jiang Qinghe, then said to An Yu, “You explain. What exactly happened here?”
An Yunfan didn’t understand anything, so he could only guess on his own.
In his opinion, An Yu must have gotten into an argument with Jiang Qinghe because of An Qing and Chen Guang’s matter.
This adopted daughter, aside from being good-looking, was truly useless.
This was An Yunfan’s true inner thought.
Little did he know that he was already countless versions behind.
An Yu raised her head.
Her amber eyes blinked.
“Explain? Explain what?”
She didn’t really have anything she wanted to say to this family…
If the topic was something like being kicked out of the house, then she would welcome it.
As for leaving the An family, aside from never being able to eat Wang Man’s cooking again, there wasn’t much to regret.
So An Yu remained silent and simply stared expressionlessly at An Yunfan.
“What’s wrong? You’re not planning to explain what happened here?”
As An Yunfan walked further into the room, the atmosphere became even more chaotic.
An Yu slightly furrowed her brows.
She had only wanted to play a game. She didn’t know why things had turned out like this.
An Qing had been watching An Yu’s reaction the entire time.
Seeing that she looked unhappy, they… were all so annoying.
“Mm?”
Her hand was grabbed by An Qing.
An Yu blinked in confusion, not knowing what An Qing wanted to do.
Before An Yu could react, An Qing suddenly moved.
Right in front of the An family parents, she unhesitatingly pulled An Yu and started running.
“Qing’er?”
An Yunfan was stunned.
He had never expected An Qing to suddenly act like this.
But An Qing completely ignored An Yunfan’s words.
She pulled An Yu, turned around, and ran.
In no time, they disappeared from An Yunfan’s sight.
“What’s going on?”
An Yunfan frowned, growing even more confused about the situation.
An Qing pulled An Yu and only stopped after running a long distance.
She only stopped once An Yu was panting heavily.
She stood there, staring blankly at An Yu, who kept gasping for breath.
An Yu lowered her head and took big breaths.
It had been so long since she transmigrated, and this was the first time she had done this much exercise.
She was exhausted. She already wanted to sleep.
After a while, An Yu finally steadied her breathing.
What she wanted to ask was why An Qing had saved her and why she had pulled her out.
“An Qing, why?”
She raised her head and stared at An Qing.
Maybe if she spoke like this to other people, they wouldn’t understand.
But An Qing understood.
She understood what An Yu was asking.
“Heh.”
An Qing curled the corners of her lips and revealed a somewhat bitter smile.
Because An Yu… had always been like this.
She liked to omit words when speaking.
Ever since her previous life, it had always been this way.
Until An Yu betrayed her, An Qing had never suspected that there might be any hidden meaning in An Yu’s words.
It was precisely because of An Yu’s betrayal that An Qing had become overly cautious and started overthinking everything.
“What are you laughing at?”
An Yu tilted her head and looked at An Qing in confusion.
Today, she seemed to like smiling a lot.
But An Yu had no idea what An Qing was smiling about.
“It’s nothing.”
An Qing shook her head.
Under An Yu’s puzzled gaze, she forcibly took hold of An Yu’s hand.
“Mm… what are you doing?”
Fortunately, An Yu didn’t struggle and obediently let herself be led away.
An Qing didn’t give a clear answer and instead kept things mysterious.
This made An Yu somewhat unhappy.
She expressionlessly puffed out her cheeks.
“You’ll know in a bit.”
If you’re not going to say it, then don’t say it.
And she even liked to keep people in suspense.
As expected, the reborn female lead was a bad person.
(So, you still haven’t told me why?)
She was the smart An Yu. She wouldn’t be fooled by the bad female lead.
An Qing still hadn’t explained why she had come to save her or why she had brought her out.
Faced with her question, An Qing simply lowered her head.
Her gaze was filled with reminiscence.
“Why, huh?”
Because… you used to save me like this in the past.
You brought her out without caring about anything else.
An Qing had once faced a similar situation.
Back then, it was An Yu who came to save her when she was in despair.
An Yu had been the only light in her dark days.
She would always appear whenever An Qing couldn’t let go of her feelings.
Even though An Yu had eventually betrayed her, An Qing still couldn’t let go.
So no matter what happened, she would come to save An Yu without hesitation.
“Hehe. You’ll know in the future, An Yu.”
An Yu, who was being led by An Qing, was stunned.
Her eyelids lowered slightly as she showed a dead-fish-eyed expression.
It was obvious that she liked keeping people in suspense.
She wouldn’t even answer a single question properly.
This was the reborn female lead.
Seriously. Too bad!
Although she kept complaining in her heart, An Yu’s face didn’t show any expression.
She also didn’t shake off An Qing’s hand.
Anyway, things had already come to this point.
An Yu had no other choice.
“Heh.”
Seeing that An Yu had no intention of pulling away, An Qing let out a genuine laugh.
Then she held An Yu’s hand even tighter.
Come to think of it, this was the first time in this life that she had held An Yu’s hand.
It really had been a long, long wait.
An Yu raised her head and glanced at the lightly smiling An Qing.
Her amber eyes were filled with faint speechlessness.
The female lead was smiling again.
What was there to smile about?
She smiled out loud every single time.
Whatever… too lazy to ask.
She wouldn’t tell her even if she asked.
Thinking this, An Yu turned her head away and stopped looking at An Qing.
Yet she still let An Qing continue holding her hand.
Watching the cute An Yu beside her, An Qing’s heartbeat gradually sped up.
Even when she was sulking, An Yu still wouldn’t reject her.
An Qing curled the corners of her lips and spoke softly.
“So it’s normal that she likes An Yu too, isn’t it?”
“I’m taking you somewhere… Don’t worry. You won’t be in danger. Not for now. Not for now.”
