Chapter 302: Treasure

Time passed without anyone knowing how long.

It might have been an hour.

Or perhaps only a few dozen minutes.

At this moment, Huang Keling had already left.

Only An Qing remained on the living room sofa.

After Huang Keling left, those parents had returned to their rooms and never came out again.

They were probably thinking about what came next.

As for what Huang Keling had actually come to do…

She had been sent by Chen Guang to urge the engagement.

Although she did not know why Huang Keling would work for Chen Guang, it did not matter.

An Qing had no time to think about outsiders’ affairs.

“Tsk…”

She pursed her lips in displeasure.

Just thinking about it made her feel irritated.

Earlier, she had not only failed to refuse that so-called engagement.

She had even chosen a date that was not far away.

Because An Qing was already somewhat impatient.

She really did not want to see An Yu and Ning Wanciu getting along so warmly while she could only watch from the sidelines.

So she was almost using this method of forcing herself forward.

Only by resolving Chen Guang’s matter quickly could she have more time to get close to An Yu.

At the same time, An Qing also knew that Chen Guang could not wait any longer either.

At the very beginning, Chen Guang had still been waiting leisurely.

He thought she was only throwing a small tantrum.

But now it was different.

He had not only made the An family accept the marriage agreement.

He had even sent Huang Keling to urge things along.

It seemed Chen Guang really did not want to let go of the fat meat that was already at his lips.

“Heh…”

What surprised An Qing somewhat was that Chen Guang’s actions seemed to have come a little too fast.

Thinking about it carefully, it really was strange.

Without anything urging him, why would he suddenly make such a move?

According to An Qing’s understanding of Chen Guang, this man should have been more patient.

Just like when he kept scheming, wanting to take both her and An Yu into his possession.

Thinking of this, An Qing slightly narrowed her eyes.

A surge of killing intent rose within her crimson pupils.

She had endured everything else.

This beast still wanted to make a move on An Yu.

This she could not tolerate no matter what.

From the very beginning until after her rebirth, it had always been like this.

To make a move on An Yu…

Calm down…

Calm down…

This time, Chen Guang absolutely had no chance…

She was not interested in Chen Guang.

Whether it was her, the people around An Yu, or even An Yu herself.

But no matter what, Chen Guang could be considered a threat.

An Qing had to make this person exit the stage quickly.

She could not let him touch her and An Yu ever again.

This was also the reason she had agreed to the engagement…

The earlier she pulled this timeline forward, the fewer things this piece of trash would be able to do.

An Qing would also be able to deal with him faster.

Heaven only knew what kind of actions this inexplicably impatient man would take if she chose to drag things out.

An Qing shook her head and stopped thinking about Chen Guang’s matters.

She looked out the window.

By now the sky had gradually darkened.

It was already evening…

Now… she should go back to her room to rest.

Earlier she had told An Yu to return to her room.

It was not only because of Huang Keling’s hint.

It was also her own idea.

Although she had not known at the time that Huang Keling came to deliver a message for Chen Guang, she could already guess the general idea.

No matter what it was for, in the end it was still related to her and the Chen family.

Regarding this point, she really did not want An Yu to hear it.

She was afraid…

Afraid that An Yu would misunderstand because of it.

From beginning to end, in both lifetimes, An Qing had only ever liked An Yu alone.

It had never changed.

She also kept that liking hidden in her heart.

Even during those days when she felt betrayed and resented An Yu, An Qing…

If An Yu misunderstood that she had something going on with the Chen family because of this, she might completely break down.

Otherwise she would not have tied An Yu up in the basement…

But…

If An Yu remained completely indifferent after hearing it, An Qing would feel equally sad.

In any case, she did not want An Yu to be involved in this matter.

Especially…

She also did not want An Yu to face those parents again.

She had already been able to feel it yesterday.

When An Yu faced Jiang Qinghe and An Yunfan, there was no familial affection or anything of the sort.

There was only bewilderment and confusion.

An Qing became even more certain.

An Yu really did not care about anything in the An family.

If it had been her in the previous life, knowing this might have made her incredibly happy.

But this life was different…

An Qing was not stupid.

She knew that if An Yu did not care about the An family at all, or even disliked it, then one day she would choose to leave this home.

Sooner or later.

Or perhaps she was only missing a catalyst.

Maybe after another argument with Jiang Qinghe, An Yu would never return home again.

She would simply live at the Ning house instead.

So An Qing was not simply trying to protect An Yu.

She was also thinking for herself.

An Qing gritted her teeth.

A trace of irritation appeared in her eyes.

If it really became like that, she would be the first to collapse.

She really did not know what kind of things she would do.

Especially since the people living together were all girls who liked An Yu…

Irritating.

Heaven…

If An Yu left her sight and went to live with others, it would be incredibly irritating.

An Yu should be her An Yu.

A treasure that belonged only to her.

Not like now, where she could be snatched away by others at any time.

But right now she was being held back by these boring matters.

An Qing closed her eyes tightly.

She decided to calm down first.

After her rebirth, she always liked to let her thoughts run wild.

This was not good.

Let’s go back to the room first.

Wait until tomorrow…

An Qing thought this way.

Yet her footsteps subconsciously paused.

Her whole person also froze slightly.

Although she had thought this, she had subconsciously arrived in front of An Yu’s room.

Just like she used to like doing in her previous life.

Every time she felt lost or confused, she would subconsciously come here.

To say she had taken a wrong turn…

It was not likely.

Her room was on the second floor.

An Yu’s room was on the first floor.

It was impossible to take a wrong turn.

An Qing simply wanted to see An Yu.

Clearly yesterday she had possessed An Yu for an entire day.

After school today they had also stayed together.

But she still was not satisfied.

No matter how much time she spent with An Yu, An Qing would never feel it was too long.

An Qing stood in front of An Yu’s door.

She subconsciously raised her hand.

Yet she stopped in mid-air without knocking.

It would scare An Yu.

She did not know what to say.

Just now… she had not controlled her emotions well.

She did not know if…

So what should she do?

Even if An Yu opened the door, she also…

In this home, she really rarely interacted with An Yu.

At least in this lifetime it was like this.

Just as An Qing raised her hand, her gaze hazy and somewhat at a loss, the door in front of her opened.

Click—

A cute little head poked out.

It looked around expressionlessly.

“Mm… An Qing?”

Seemingly seeing that there was no one else, An Yu opened the door and walked out.

An Qing remained silent.

“They and the maid have all left?”

An Yu tilted her head expressionlessly.

She looked very cute.

However, facing An Yu’s action, An Qing still did not say a word.

For some reason, her pupils trembled slightly.

She looked somewhat strange.

An Yu slightly raised her eyes and stared at An Qing, who was acting a bit oddly.

Her amber pupils blinked.

An Qing… felt… like she was very uncomfortable.

She subconsciously raised her hand.

With extremely gentle movements, she touched An Qing’s head.

She opened her mouth.

“An Qing? It feels like you really need it?”

An Yu tilted her head.

Her tone carried a hint of uncertainty.

Actually, she did not know why she had suddenly patted the reborn female lead’s head.

She just felt she should do this.

It felt as natural as a sister comforting a wronged younger sister.

An Qing was stunned.

She pursed her lips and revealed an extremely moved expression.

Then she slowly raised her head and held the hand An Yu was using to pat her head.

“It’s already fine now.”

She spoke softly.

Her tone was full of relaxed meaning.

In her previous life, it had been like this.

When she was in a bad mood or felt wronged, she would come find An Yu.

And An Yu would always pat her head like this to show comfort.

An Qing ultimately still did not want to get engaged to anyone other than An Yu.

Even if it was just acting.

Even if in the end they would not really get engaged.

Even if it was just a means to resolve Chen Guang quickly.

Unwilling was unwilling.

No matter what…

An Qing would feel uncomfortable in her heart.

And this pain, even An Qing herself had not noticed.

But An Yu could easily see through it and come to comfort her.

Wasn’t that right?

So liking An Yu was only natural.

So… go back, An Yu.

Anything was fine.

If she ran into Jiang Qinghe it would be troublesome.

She hoped An Yu would not come out.

Go back and play games or do whatever…

An Qing smiled slightly.

She smiled very gently.

“Don’t.”

Unexpectedly, the girl raised her head.

Her eyes carried a hint of resentment and vigilance.

It made An Qing stunned again.

“Why?”

An Qing subconsciously asked.

An Yu blinked expressionlessly.

Her amber pupils were filled with speechlessness and vigilance.

“I need to go to the toilet.”

How could the reborn female lead be so bad?

After finishing a game and wanting to come out to use the toilet, she ran into An Qing blocking the way again!

Seeing that she seemed very aggrieved, An Yu had reached out to comfort her a bit.

How could she still push her luck!

She actually wanted her to hold in her urge to pee and go back.

How could she be so bad!

And it happened once yesterday too…

Why did she block her every time she wanted to go to the toilet!

Seeing An Yu’s resentful gaze, An Qing awkwardly stepped aside to make way.

Clearly, An Qing also still remembered yesterday’s incident.

“Sorry, I… I didn’t mean to…”

An Yu let out a cold, soft hum.

She then brushed past An Qing.

She looked like she was going to the toilet.

Brushing past, An Qing stared blankly at An Yu’s somewhat resentful back.

She seemed not to know how to explain.

Really…

In the end, she could only smile helplessly and then shake her head.

Of course she had not done it on purpose.

Whether it was last time or this time, it was just too coincidental.

She probably would not believe it even if she said it.

An Qing smiled slightly and walked toward her own room.

Although she had been misunderstood by An Yu, An Qing felt completely relaxed.

The painful feeling had been swept away.

As expected, An Yu was her treasure.
