"Grandfather, I'm full. I'll go upstairs first." Xu Anran put down her chopsticks, placed her hands on her knees, and waited for grandfather's decision.
But this time, he didn't make Xu Anran go upstairs so early. Instead, he said to her, "Little An An, you stay here a bit too, grandfather has something he wants to say to you two."
"Guan Lifeng's grandmother, Miss Cui Yun, is also father Jing Yi's first wife. I presume An An has not met his before?" Grandfather smiled at An An.
An An An shook her head, she did not know that Guan Jingyi's father was even divorced. Presumably, this was the reason why Guan Lifeng said that Jing Yi was an illegitimate child.
"Tomorrow, can I let Jing Yi bring you to meet him?" Grandfather continued to ask.
Xu Anran did not know how to answer, she turned to look at Guan Jingyi, who muttered to himself for a moment, and then said: "Alright."
He knew what the old man was thinking. Since Guan Lifeng dared to touch Xu Anran, and the matter had reached the old man's ears, as long as Xu Anran appeared tomorrow, he would agree to the old man's wishes. So what if she was Guan Lifeng's grandmother.
After the two of them returned to their room, Xu Anran asked, "I must go with you to see that Cui — — Aunt tomorrow?"
Guan Jingyi pulled at the gap in his tie and lazily glanced at Xu Anran who was standing beside the bed. He noticed that she was also taking off his sweater.
As the temperature outside was very low and this girl was extremely afraid of the cold, she wore a lot more than normal. Underneath the sweater was a close-fitting white shirt. However, the main house's temperature was constant. It was warm, so naturally, she was hot.
Although the neck of the woolen sweater was not considered small, it was still empty from before. The black card that was used to pin little bits of hair on the woolen sweater had caught the woolen sweater, and it was tugging at it stiffly. The woolen sweater hurt, but Xu Anran couldn't feel it no matter how hard she tried.
Guan Jingyi's voice came from above, sounding a little disdainful: "Why are you so stupid!" Guan Jingyi said as he reached out to the place where the black hairpin and the sweater were fighting.
"Back then, my father's first wife was Cui Yun. Like you and I, she was forced to marry by Grandfather, and her achievements were achieved. Her father didn't love her, so the marriage ended in failure. And I was born to my father's second wife. For the past few years, aside from the necessary connection between Grandfather and the clan, there has been an incompatibility between water and fire between Cui Yun and I. "
"Then why does Grandpa want me to go …" Xu Anran was even more suspicious.
"Let's get to know each other. Living together with me, I want to get to know the enemy so that I won't be so stupid as to jump into a hole dug by others." "He even helped him count the money after being sold."
Xu Anran, "..." This man was truly arrogant.
Guan Jingyi was obviously ridiculing her for what he said, but Xu Anran was not stupid!
Throwing the woolen sweater onto the bed, looking at her slim figure, Guan Jingyi's Adam's apple rolled up and down. Both of his hands caressing her arms, Guan Jingyi suddenly scratched Xu Anran's nose and laughed: "You really are a silly girl!"
"You're the fool. I'm not stupid at all." Xu Anran rolled her eyes and said snappily.
Early in the morning, Xu Anran woke up. She looked at the watch beside the bed, it was only around five o'clock, the sky was still dark outside. Once she had something in her mind, she would definitely wake up early and not be able to sleep. Remembering that she would need to follow Guan Jingyi there for a few days and that she might even meet that Guan Lifeng, Xu Anran felt extremely uneasy in her heart.
He looked over habitually, and realized that Guan Jingyi was sleeping on his side with his face right next to Xu Anran's. In the dim light outside the window, his sleeping visage could still be seen.
This was the first time Xu Anran woke up in the morning and saw her sleeping appearance.
It was very quiet, and his breathing was very steady. It was just a small military bed, and it was difficult for such a big man with long arms and legs to hold himself. His arms and legs were hanging outside. His facial features and the shape of his face were in fact exceptionally sharp. His experience as a soldier over ten years ago, in particular, had already engraved his strong will into his bones. The corners of his face were naturally much more distinct than a normal person's.
To Xu Anran, Guan Jingyi did not dare to approach, but also desired to approach.
Hearing the man's breathing become heavier, Xu Anran looked at her watch. It was 6 o'clock, Guan Jingyi's biological clock was supposed to be on time, she should be waking up soon.
Xu Anran turned her body over, her back facing Guan Jingyi as she closed her eyes. However, her ears were smarter than when she was awake during the day.
Sure enough, she heard two creaking sounds from the camp bed, followed by the sound of Guan Jingyi quietly getting off the bed.
walked over and gently tucked Xu Anran's hands that were outside the blanket back into the blanket.
Xu Anran, who had her eyes closed, couldn't help but shiver.
The sound of the bathroom door opening and closing could be heard. Outside of the bathroom, Xu Anran laid on the bed with her head raised and stared at the dark crystal lamp. Her mind was a mess.
She felt like she was being sucked into a huge whirlpool, and the more she struggled, the faster she would drown. She really hoped that there was someone who could save her now. Other than Guan Jingyi, anyone else was fine.
