Chapter 1396: Chapter 1397: Back Home (4)
Yu Family Mansion, Small Courtyard.
"Miss, you’re back!" An Zhifeng saw An Yiqing return and quickly stood up with surprise.
"Um, I’ll head to my room first, feeling a bit tired."
An Yiqing lazily waved her hand, didn’t say more, turned around, and went upstairs, leaving An Zhifeng bewildered as he watched her departing figure.
In the bedroom, An Yiqing changed out of her clothes into a comfortable nightgown and threw herself hard onto the soft big bed.
She stared blankly at the ceiling, a deep sense of longing filling her eyes.
She missed her family, missed her grandfather, grandmother, parents, her two brothers, Xiao Hei, and Old Jin. Perhaps because of Grandma Zhang’s story, An Yiqing’s longing for the An Family was incredibly intense at this moment. She wished she could board a plane and fly back right now, ignoring all these power struggles.
The big bed suddenly sank, and a familiar cold aura tightly wrapped around her from behind.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Yelin hugged An Yiqing’s soft body in his arms and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
An Yiqing hummed lazily twice, snuggling into his chest.
"Why did you come back so early?" she asked.
"I missed you, so I came back. Tutu, you have something on your mind." What Gu Yelin said was not a question, but a statement.
An Yiqing nodded and snuggled her small head further into Gu Yelin’s embrace.
"Ah Lin, I miss home. I miss Master, I miss my grandparents and them."
"If you miss them, then go back and take a look; it doesn’t take long to get from Jinyin City to Xuandu City." Gu Yelin felt a bit sorry for An Yiqing; no matter how strong she was, she was still just a little girl of twenty. Ordinary girls her age were still living closely with their parents, acting spoiled in their arms.
"Well, better not. I’ll go back when everything is settled." An Yiqing gave Gu Yelin a light kiss on his chin, "I want to sleep, so sleepy!"
She adjusted to a comfortable position in Gu Yelin’s arms, smacked her lips twice, and blissfully fell into a dreamland.
Gu Yelin quietly watched An Yiqing sleep in his arms, his eyes deep with hidden emotions.
In the evening, when An Yiqing woke up from her sleep, she groggily felt a fluffy mass.
"Hm, why is Xiao Hei here? I haven’t fully woken up, I must be dreaming..." An Yiqing muttered to herself, rubbing the soft black fur in front of her with her dreamy eyes half-opened and then closing them again.
Just at that moment...
"Woof~ Master!"
In her groggy sleep, An Yiqing’s body stiffened, and she suddenly opened her eyes. She looked incredulously at the pair of simple, dependent amber round eyes in front of her, and pinched her thigh hard.
Ouch! This isn’t a dream!
"Xiao Hei... how are you here?" An Yiqing asked incredulously.
"Woof~ Master, this is clearly your own home!"
An Yiqing widened her eyes and looked up, only then realizing she wasn’t in the courtyard at the Yu Family Old Residence but in her bedroom on the second floor of the An Family Villa!
She flipped out of bed, everything around was so familiar. The familiar tables and chairs, the familiar big bed, the familiar wardrobe, the familiar scent. This was the place she had been missing for a month!
An Yiqing hurriedly put on her slippers and rushed out of the bedroom in a few quick steps.
Behind her, Old Jin’s frustrated voice and Xiao Hei’s plaintive whines weakly echoed, one after another.
