Chapter 1362: Chapter 1363: The Fourth Male Lead Has Appeared (1)
A pair of long, slender hands with distinct knuckles slowly reached towards An Yiqing.
Perhaps too tired from the day, An Yiqing was in a deep sleep, completely unaware. Just as the hands were about to touch An Yiqing’s neck, suddenly, An Zhifeng’s voice came from outside the room.
"Miss, are you asleep? Mrs. Yu made some late-night snacks, please come downstairs and join us."
Immersed in her dreams, An Yiqing heard the voice and lightly furrowed her brows before slowly opening her eyes.
"Miss? Asleep?" An Zhifeng’s voice sounded again outside the door.
An Yiqing’s mind gradually cleared; she touched her cheek that had been brushed by the cool breeze and gently frowned.
Strange, did someone come in? The scent feels so familiar...
"Miss might be asleep; shall we go downstairs and tell Mrs. Yu?"
An Zhifeng’s words brought An Yiqing’s thoughts back, and she promptly stopped An Zhifeng, who was planning to leave, quickly tidying up her slightly disheveled clothes from sleeping before quietly walking out the door.
The room door was gently closed, blocking out the light from outside, and the entire room was shrouded in darkness. On the terrace, the light moonlight was bright and beautiful, a light breeze blew, and a tall figure appeared out of nowhere beside the lounge chair where An Yiqing had been lying.
The long, knuckled hand gently brushed over the spot where An Yiqing had been laying, where her warmth seemed to linger. In the darkness, a pair of hawk-like black eyes turned from cold to tender, stirring a pool of spring water.
The next day, An Yiqing received a phone call that left her both laugh and cry.
"Girl, an old pal’s grandson from the Sun Family in Jinyin City is getting married, and I reckon I can’t get away. You can just go in my place." The cheerful voice of Old Master An came from the other end of the phone.
"Hmm, Grandpa, how come I never heard you have a friend in Jinyin City?" An Yiqing asked meaningfully.
Old Master An cleared his throat and reprimanded with feigned seriousness, "This old man has friends all over the world, just usually low-key and not flashy! You heartless little girl, haven’t come home for so long, and now you won’t even do this little thing for Grandpa, is that it? Ah, my dear and obedient little granddaughter doesn’t care for Grandpa anymore..."
An Yiqing felt a chill down her spine at Old Master An’s pitiful tone and quickly nodded in agreement. She sweet-talked Old Master An for a while until he burst into laughter, then finally hung up the phone.
"Little Sister Xiao Qing, are you going to attend Old Sun’s family’s banquet tomorrow?" Yu Tianyou, who was sitting beside her, asked.
"Hmm, going in Grandpa’s place."
An Yiqing sighed deeply, feeling warmth in her heart. She knew her grandfather’s intentions very well; with such a prestigious status, how could the Old Commander possibly need to attend the wedding banquet of an old friend’s grandson? Even just a phone call for greetings would be a boon for the Sun Family. The reason Old Master An did this was entirely to make An Yiqing’s status known so that people in Jinyin City wouldn’t dare to bully her.
An Yiqing fully grasped Old Master An’s thoughtful intentions, and although she didn’t like being in the spotlight, since it was her grandfather’s good will, she naturally wouldn’t refuse.
"Great! I’m going too tomorrow, so Little Sister Xiao Qing, you can go with me and your sister-in-law! Just as well, we can also look after each other!"
Without a second thought, An Yiqing nodded in agreement.
The next day, early in the morning, An Yiqing followed Yu Tianyou and his wife, driving to the hotel with two little buns in tow.
"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, what’s the situation with the Sun Family?" Old Master An’s instructions were so rushed, An Yiqing didn’t even have time to investigate before being pushed to attend, so she had no choice but to ask Yu Tianyou and his wife for the scoop on the way there.
