Chapter 1397: Chapter 1398: Back Home (5)
"Meow, master, you haven’t seen Master Jin for a month, and yet you don’t miss me at all?"
"Master, wait for Xiao Hei~ Woof!~"
When An Yiqing rushed downstairs, the An Family was bustling with preparing dinner.
"Niuniu’s awake? Did you sleep well?" An Zisheng, sitting at the dining table helping Kong Shi pick vegetables, looked up to see An Yiqing standing foolishly at the staircase and asked with a smile.
An Yiqing dumbly nodded, "Mm, good... Dad, when did I come back?..."
"It’s been almost two hours since you came back. Lao San, that rascal, carried you back by helicopter."
An Zisheng suddenly felt that Gu Yelin, this prospective son-in-law, wasn’t as annoying as he had imagined. He clearly remembered the scene when Gu Yelin carefully carried An Yiqing out after the helicopter landed in front of the villa that afternoon. Even he, as a father, might not have been as attentive to An Yiqing as Gu Yelin was.
Almost two hours since she came back? An Yiqing was stunned. She remembered that it was already two in the afternoon when she fell asleep. Considering the time, it would take over two hours to fly back to Xuandu City from Jinyin City. Now it was past five in the evening, which meant that not long after she fell asleep, Gu Yelin had arranged for the plane to leave Jinyin City.
The thought of him going through so much trouble with a plane just because she said "I miss home" filled An Yiqing’s heart with not only gratitude but also immense happiness.
"Oh, Niuniu’s awake? Just in time, dinner is ready. Quickly wash your hands and get ready to eat!" Old Lady An came out of the kitchen with a tray, and upon seeing An Yiqing, she immediately displayed a kind smile.
An Yiqing obediently nodded and shifted her gaze from Old Lady An to the person behind her.
Behind her, Gu Yelin was following Old Lady An step by step, carefully balancing two trays. When he saw An Yiqing, he stopped, his deep black eyes softly landing on her face with a hint of a smile.
An Yiqing gave Gu Yelin a coquettish glance and ran into the bathroom.
Because of An Yiqing’s sudden return, dinner was extraordinarily sumptuous today. Even An Zhiyan, who had been stationed with the army, hurried back upon receiving the news.
The big family enjoyed an exuberant meal and then gathered in the living room for a chat.
"Recently, Xuandu City has been quite peaceful. The only noteworthy event is the weddings of the Kang Family and the Guh Family, along with a few other girls’ families. But as time goes on, people are getting tired of talking about it. Niuniu, I’ve heard about what you did in Jinyin City; nicely done!" An Zisheng looked at An Yiqing, nodding with satisfaction and feeling immensely proud. This was his daughter, let others be envious! Hmph!
"Your dad is right; we don’t bully people, but we also can’t allow anyone to bully us. Niuniu, if anyone tries to pick a fight with you, hit them hard, and if there’s any trouble, Grandpa’s here to back you up. You’ve handled the Xuanqing Sect matter well, and it seems that the leaders indeed want to take this opportunity to thoroughly clean up Jinyin City. Niuniu, remember while you’re in Jinyin City to keep a balanced approach, not too low-profile, but not too flashy either. Your actions have already spread from Jinyin City to Xuandu City, and now many eyes are on you."
When An Yiqing initially left Xuandu City, everyone already knew she was heading south, and so many people were waiting to see her fail. Who would have thought that a month later, not only had they failed to find amusement, but An Yiqing’s methods had impressed everyone.
