Chapter 301: Only One Word

“Miss Huang Keling, what did you come here for this time?”

An Yunfan smiled somewhat awkwardly.

He actually did not know why Huang Keling had come either.

The reason they had not left the house today lay precisely in this.

This maid had suddenly informed them that there was an important matter to discuss.

It concerned the future of the An family.

Naturally, An Yunfan could not leave, and Jiang Qinghe shared the same thought.

In response to his question, Huang Keling merely shook her head gently.

She had to wait until An Qing arrived before she could speak.

Love truly did nourish a person more.

However, An Qing’s state this time was much better than the last.

The girl narrowed her eyes slightly.

A sharp glint flashed through her silver-white pupils.

Her plan would also need to be put on the agenda.

It was about time to decide her choice.

In the end, which method should she use?

Seeing Huang Keling lost in thought and remaining silent, An Yunfan smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head with his hand.

Damn it.

Just a maid from the Chen family, and she could put on such airs in front of them.

Getting angry only because she was a member of the Chen family.

No matter how displeased he felt inside, was this what power was?

Having power and influence really was different.

Because she belonged to the Chen family, he could not do anything to such a junior…

An Yunfan’s eyes flashed with a hint of greed.

This was what he had always wanted to obtain.

As long as he had power, he would no longer be an ordinary nouveau riche.

Even if his origins were ordinary, he could still earn the respect of others, just like this damned maid.

An Yunfan thought with resentment in his heart, yet he did not notice Huang Keling casting a glance at him.

Huang Keling understood far too well what this sort of person was thinking in their heart.

She had seen it too many times, and her heart remained completely unmoved.

It still felt as though An Qing was more interesting.

Huang Keling slightly curved the corners of her lips, revealing a smile that no one could see.

“Huang Keling, speak up. What did you come here to do?”

At this moment, An Qing also arrived before them.

Huang Keling did not speak.

Instead, she looked at An Qing, who had come alone, and nodded in satisfaction.

Just like this… It had to be exactly like this.

The words she was about to say next would cause An Yu to misunderstand.

Misunderstandings and the like were the most unnecessary things to exist.

If she could not directly lock the prey away to enjoy, then she would have to take care of her emotions.

An Yunfan and Jiang Qinghe were merely incidental.

Although Huang Keling was very satisfied, someone else was not.

To prevent the prey from staying away from the hunter.

Upon seeing that An Yu had not returned, everyone frowned.

Jiang Qinghe was the first to ask, “An Qing, where is An Yu?”

An Qing raised her head but did not speak.

She stared into Jiang Qinghe’s eyes, her crimson pupils carrying endless coldness.

Jiang Qinghe subconsciously took a step back.

What kind of gaze was that from An Qing?

As expected, an illegitimate daughter was…

A wave of anger surged in Jiang Qinghe’s heart.

She did not know whether it was because she had been startled by An Qing or for some other reason.

“An Yu is not feeling well. I had her go back and rest.”

“Not feeling well? How is she not feeling well?” An Yunfan asked with a frown.

“There is a guest here! I think she is perfectly fine. Qing’er, do not indulge her so much. Right now it is…”

This An Yu really was… becoming more and more insensible.

An Qing shook her head.

“An Yu really is not feeling well. Yesterday she went out without wearing her school uniform. The weather is cold today, so she caught a chill.”

This was a lie.

An Yu had been wearing An Qing’s coat the entire day.

If anyone was going to catch a cold, it would be An Qing, not An Yu.

“Besides, Huang Keling came to find me. It has nothing to do with An Yu.”

As An Qing spoke, she looked toward Huang Keling with a cold face.

Huang Keling smiled faintly and then nodded silently.

Seeing that Huang Keling had nodded, An Yunfan had nothing left to say.

She had indeed come to find An Qing, and it had nothing to do with An Yu.

Anyway, he had already decided long ago to fully nurture An Qing.

As for An Yu, once someone took a fancy to her, he would marry her off.

That way, he could still make use of her.

Jiang Qinghe looked as though she really wanted to speak.

However, seeing that everyone had fallen silent, she could not say anything either and could only grit her teeth and remain silent.

“Then tell me. What did you come here for?”

An Qing spoke in a cold voice, her tone carrying a trace of impatience.

She was already too lazy to act the part of a gentle young miss in front of the An family.

“I came to relay a message from Young Master Chen Guang to you.”

Upon hearing this, An Qing was subconsciously stunned.

She raised her head slightly and looked at Huang Keling before her with a gaze filled with disbelief.

Chen Guang?

Wasn’t it Chen Yu?

Shouldn’t she be Chen Yu’s maid?

What was the situation now?

No matter how puzzled An Qing was, Huang Keling would not explain.

She smiled and opened her mouth, her gaze deep and meaningful.

“Young Master Chen Guang asks you, regarding the date of the engagement banquet… when do you think would be good.”

That maid was about to say something.

It seemed somewhat troublesome not to go.

An Yu had originally thought they would only treat her as a passerby and let her be.

Mainly, the An family’s parents seemed somewhat annoying.

It was truly difficult to understand.

Who knew that Jiang Qinghe would actually harbor such inexplicable expectations toward her.

An Yu now had a feeling that the An family’s parents could go crazy at any time and any place.

“Mm…”

An Yu blinked.

A hint of bewilderment appeared in her amber pupils.

Then why had she agreed?

Do as I say… You will be obedient, right?

In her mind, she subconsciously recalled the words An Qing had spoken earlier.

When she spoke, she had lowered her head, her expression incomparably gloomy.

Her crimson pupils had looked somewhat sickly.

It felt as though… the An Qing from just now had been somewhat terrifying.

There was a sense that if she did not listen to her, something major would happen.

This was An Yu’s intuition.

She had always believed in her own intuition.

So, she had returned to her room and locked the door tightly.

No matter who knocked, she would not open it.

If Jiang Qinghe got angry and drove her out, that would be good…

She missed Ning Wanciu’s home.

The little pillow was better.

At this moment, this was An Yu, who had no idea what had happened.

This was her only thought.

An Yu calmly opened her mouth and performed a carp jump.

Hmm, right.

She did not get up.

An Yu blinked expressionlessly and climbed up from the bed as if nothing had happened.

She sat down in front of the computer desk, turned on the computer, and put on her headphones.

Hmm… Found it.

An Yu slightly moved the mouse and then clicked on the chat box in the chat software labeled “Little Pillow.”

When she did not know what to do, doing something that would make herself happy was fine.

She slowly tapped on the keyboard, typing out the words one by one.

Ning Dongli, want to play games?

After she finished inputting, An Yu silently blinked her eyes, as if waiting for Ning Dongli’s reply.

Almost only a second had passed before the other party’s reply came.

Good!

It was only one word.
